First post of the year.

I've joined the UBBT8 team at my Kwoon(kung fu school). I hope to become a better martial artist as well as a better person through this upcoming year. I guess I should start with the fact that I am presently a white belt(beginer) in kung fu. I started my training in November of 2010 because my seven year old son challenged me to take it and train with him. He started in September of 2010. It is an awesome way for us to spent quality time together and share a hobby we both enjoy very much. I did a little karate training back when I was 20 for a few winters in University achieving my second degree yellow belt. I am presently 45 years old and really needed to get active again. With Kung fu I have found a passion for becoming more in shape and more involved in the community around me.

Here's what I will achieve this year in UBBT8

1. 25000 push-ups and 25000 sit-ups

2. Do the DA Mu Hsing form 1000 times

3. Make healthy eating choices every day. Get out of the junk food cravings and snack on healthier choices.  I will document what I'm eating and How I'm feeling.

4. Complete a 5k or 10k run in the area without stopping

5. Ataain at least orange belt ranking by the end of the year

6. Make kung fu practise an everyday habit, enjoy it and challenge myself at least once a week. By that I mean push myself to do more reps then before and to do them with good technigue. Track my progress.

7. Be able to stay in a proper horse stance for at least 3 minutes, to reach 5 would be awesome 

8. Learn Kempo 1, then do it 1000 times.

9. this one I added for myself, be positive and enjoy what I'm doing. Support my teammates in their goals and make some awesome friends in the process.
