Goals

Something that I found that helps me want to do requirements is having a personal goal or goals for that month. My goals for this month is 75 chin-ups, and 31 one handed push-ups per arm. So far I am at 40Chin-ups, and   15  Push-ups per each arm. I don't know how but this helps me a lot. I was at my grandparents house on Saturday and was working on my push-ups etc... and my cousin asked of she cold have a piece of paper, I asked her why and she said that it was because she wanted to have a monthly goal like what I'm doing. I thought that was really cool. So I set her up with a goal sheet, I did the same for my other cousin as well. My Aunty even said that she wanted to start on monthly goals.

AOK: helping cousins make monthly goal sheet
Sit-ups 165
Push-ups 60
Weapon  1

Excuses and Setbacks

I really really liked the meeting that was held last Saturday. After all that talking, for me, it really felt like I was part of a team. Even though I haven't been keeping up with the stuff I should be doing, I am trying to improve. Today as an example I did 80 push-ups and 80 sit-ups, but if I do not keep it up it is pretty much pointless. Obviously I have sort of done my blog, as you are reading it right now. I can also do a one handed push-up with my right arm, and one of my personal goals is to do five one handed push-ups per hand. Base ball is always a really big time consumer for me and after Base ball I just want to chill out. I really think that it is awesome that people in the team are helping me so much, like today Sifu Chillag came up to me in class and asked me if I would like to do my 20 push-ups and sit-ups. So that's what we did. I figure if I start putting my numbers in my blog I will be able to keep track of them. The reasons for not keeping up with my requirements are just excuses so I would not have to do what I signed up for. The more excuses I made less time I felt slipping beneath me, all threes things just ended up putting me way way way behind where I should be at.

Goals

     This week I am really starting to accomplish some of my personal goals. Some of them I am really close to completing are writing a song, and doing a backflip. I am really exited that I am close to completing them but I always chicken out when trying to do a backflip, I kinda twist over my shoulder than fall onto my stomach. I also made the Jr. A Badminton team at school.

Uh oh

This past couple weeks has been hard, I am/was very busy with skiing, and basketball. I have not been doing push-ups, and sit-ups, the only thing I have really done is some forms. The busier I get the more I feel over whelmed with things, but that is ok sometimes. I never like to stay sitting down for a long time so I am always joining new short term sports, along with two long term sports a year. The newest short term sport coming up is badminton which I am trying out for. My parents always think I do to much, and that I should slow down, like that would ever happen.

Week Three!

Week three of my I Ho Chuan challenge seems like it has been more like a months, it has not been easy. I need to do something that will allow me to get better sleep, or help me be not so tired. I am still falling behind in my push-ups and sit-ups. I find that the push-ups are going to be the biggest challenge for me during the year. I cannot wait for a couple months when I get the hang of all the push-ups, but first that means that I have to try. Every time that I blog I feel like I have a new start, and can keep pushing on but by the time I blog again that was not the case for that week. Something different about this week is I read Mastery by Stuart Emery for the first time, I thought what he wrote was so true.

Almost There

   This week was uplifting, I was able to fifty push ups one day and the next day still be able to do push ups. My sit ups however I find easy, I can normally do quite a lot of sit ups and the next day still be fine. My forms are coming along well da mu sing I already know and I am really close to knowing all of a tai chi broad sword form. I like being part of a team like this, it's cool, where everyone gets to work with weapons and if you have the same weapon as someone else it's like you have a buddy specifically for you to keep pushing you on. We also joke around we can a very serious group one minute, and be totally silly the next.

Push-ups :(

So far in I Ho Chuan it has been hard to keep up with all of the push-ups, and sit-ups that need to be done, if I combined the total of all my push-ups and sit-ups it would not even make one hundred. I am going to make a habit if doing twenty-five push-ups and sit-ups every day before I do anything like Sifu Brinker suggested. Even though my push-ups and sit-ups are not doing so well I feel quite confident in my forms, I am learning the tai chi broad sword as my weapon, and doing Da Mu Sing as my hand form. I enjoyed the drawing of names to decide whom we do an anonymous act of kindness for, it makes me feel like I am a spy and have to research the team to find out what I should do.

My First Blog!

This is my first blog, and all because I joined I Ho Chuan in a martial arts school I attend. Practicing to complete all of the goals that I must complete this year is hard. Some of the goals I must complete are no quitting, do 50,000 push ups and sit ups this year, and to master two forms (one must be a weapon form) and to master a form I must have 1000 repetitions. To prepare for doing 50,000 push ups and sit ups I keep in mind the amount of push ups and sit ups I need to do each day and slowly build up to that amount. The number of push ups and sit ups I need to do every day except Sundays (so my body can heal I do enough so I can take Sundays off to heal and have time to blog,) is  one hundred eighty. All of this starts February 1st :) This concludes my first blog, so good by.
