  Sensei Holland's Training Blog

Welcome to my Blog.

This is my first attempt at keeping one, my reasons for keeping this Blog are as follows

1. To clearly see my progress in my training as I will be keeping up to date records.

2. To help others with their own training by recording my exercises and goals and giving tips and ideas.

3. To help me reach my own goals, because if I put my goals for all to see then I have to achieve them.

4. I enjoy adding stuff to this site.

Goals:

I am writing this two days after my last competition.  As a team, we came home with a silver medal, which was great but my performance in the individual rounds could have been better. Having a little more mat time than my last competition I came away learning a great deal, learning about myself and other fighters.

So this experience has lead me to a long term goal, the thing with achieving goals is to break them down into smaller goals and reach these one at a time.

My long term goal is to win an individual gold medal in any karate event.

To achieve this I have set myself smaller targets to reach.

1. Lose at least half a stone, at present I weigh 16 stone and want to reach 15 1/2 stone.

2. Improve my fitness

3. Enter competitions on a regular basis

I will try to update this Blog on a daily or weekly basis until my goals have been reached.
