See in the future

If you had a cystal ball where to you expect your training to be say 10 years from now and why?

Where do you also see your skill level to be 10 years from now as well?

third dan, easy. I think I will be getting close to the pinnacle of success in technique.

 

[JasonASmith]

Able, willing, and happy to be teaching other students of the dojo...

Are we waxing philosophical today Terry?

Same place it is now, still going on.

Sanda skill will be much better (and all trees will then cower in my presence ), and hopefully given permission to Teach Chen style by Chen family member.

Well...where I am now is a big crossroads, and a crossroads that I have been at for a few months. But each time I moved towards one of the paths, something kept me back. I've been stuck here and beating myself up for being indecisive and inactive, but at the same time I couldn't bring myself to go down a path that didn't have something important that I was looking for.

What was intersting is the people that I met when I was stuck here.

Some folks have been down the same or similar paths and shared with what they found walking down the path..

Some folks said I should make a choice and start moving, as maybe I would like the path more once I started walking it.

Some folks suggested paths I didn't think of, or paths I wasn't ready to consider.

Some folks told me to stop beating myself up and stay where I am until I'm ready to move forward.

That being said, I don't know where I'll be 10 years from now...as I don't even know where I'll be a month from now.

I know where I want to be. I want to be training, learning, sweating, thinking, trying, helping, and doing.

At which rank? At whatever the rank is where learning occurs. That's the rank where I want to be.

To See into the Future and ask what does one expect to see?

From the point I am at now and looking forward, I see that I will continue to teach Modern Arnis at our Club (* Unless the building falls down *). I also will ocntinue to teach privately Balintawak.

I hope to be better at executing (* continuous work on my timing *) and also at my teaching (* even though I have been told I am a godo teacher *).


Ask me this question again in a year.

i see joo bang lee giving me grandmastership lol yay

 

[pstarr]

I don't concern myself with that kind of thing anymore. I just focus on what I'm doing NOW...

 

[Cirdan]

I don`t plan that far ahead... never works anyway.

I guess in ten years I will still be studying the arts. I will probably have a pretty firm grip on the basics of my primary styles and have gotten a few impulses from others.

I'll most likely still be training! As for the skill level...I'll continue to train hard, always looking for ways to better myself and my training.

In 10 years, I'll be 55. Hmmm....it would be near lunacy to think I may be running a school; but, I hope to, at least, be teaching.

 

[Shotochem]

10 yrs from now......
I would love to be training my son who is now 1 year old.:angel:

Well, maybe I won't wait that long.


I must be getting soft in my old age.......

My crystal ball shows a clouded future in 10 years, but did receive a possible moment of clarity when looking a wee bit beyond.

Fifteen years from now...

I'll be in a situation where I'll be about 50 years old, and will have put 20 years of service into my current non-dojo occupation. I'll be able to take a pretty good retirement package, if I so choose, and be fairly secure in my finances, knowing that I've put away a good bit of $$$, which was matched by TIAA-CREF throughout the years, and that any offspring that I may have will be able to attend the university for a very small pittance (compared to what many folks are paying).

At that time, assuming things go well enough with the dojo, I may very well take the opportunity to go into the martial arts full time. However, this is mere speculation as to what the future may hold, and is but one possibility.
