[]You can have a Martial Arts contest, or Karate or shaolin or whatever, and you can be the big time, guaranteed winner. The idea for this type of contest came to me from a guy on the internet. He said he wanted to do his martial arts form 1000 times in 365 days.
Now doing a karate kata 1000 times in one year was a lot, but...it could be done. You could do it three times a day for a year, or ten times a day for 100 days, and it certainly seemed doable. So I queried him, and he said that it included a lot of other stuff.
The full regimen included running a thousand miles, do the martial arts form a thousand times, do 40,000 abdominals, and do 40,000 push ups. He even included read a dozen books, and then he added something that made me blink: ten thousand acts of random kindness. Man, now the program was looking a little difficult!
So I started considering his proposal. Half a century ago John Kennedy got everybody in America excited about walking 50 miles in 24 hours. And, the iron man Triathalon began because three athletes in Hawaii got together over how much swim, bike and run they could accomplish. So, even with ten thousand acts of kindness thrown in, the thing was something a person might be able to do.
Now, if you're at school and don't have the time, you could set lower standards, and then do the real thing in three months of summer vacation. Or, if you're at work a lot, maybe there's ways to break free during the week for short periods of time, and then do a master blaster on the weekend. Or, maybe you've got the time and...why the heck not?
I mean, all you've got to lose is your chubby gut and sloth and bad habits! Correct? So why not go ahead and do the contest?
I figured you should include the following items in your contest. Running, martial arts forms, and a full range of body drills. Maybe run a two or three miles, do your taekwondo patterns(s) 2, 3 5, or 10 times (depending on how many of the things you know), and do ten different body drills twenty times apiece.
On the heavy side, maybe you've got those summer blues and want to lose them, run ten miles, do your kata 20, 30, 50 times each (depending on how many kata you know), do 50 reps of 10 types of body calisthenics. Man, that would knock the flab off you, make those muscles lean and mean, and give your attitude a sharp but pleasant edge of accomplishment. If you really want to slam...get a half dozen friends and really go for it!
So that's the contest I was thinking about. I think it is very possible, and it will result in a new and improved you. Whether you have a kung fu contest, or karate or aikido, you're going to have the best time of your life!
