UBBT: Figuring out why "Ultimate" is in the name


Part of this thing, to me, is figuring out new ways to do things that I have to do. What I usually do when I have things to do is assume they will get done eventually. I am noticing, by looking at my UBBT numbers, that things are NOT getting done. I spent a little time and calculated the difference between what I’ve done and what I should be done and it’s… bad. The good news is it’s not woefully bad. That is why I am jumping into a new idea with both feet: I will, every weekday, get up and be at the UofA gym at 7am. There I will do my KMs that are lacking (my excuse is that it’s winter and I can’t run outside or ride my bike and I go places too far to walk), find some open space to do my forms that are lacking (excuse is that I have no room in my house for it), and maybe even do some stretching, push-ups, pull-ups and whatnot just because they are good for me. I’ll have almost an hour before my class on Mon and Wed, nearly two before my classes on Tues and Thurs, and as much time as I like on Friday. I have to remember that if there’s not time in my schedule, I have to change my schedule. Slowly realizing why this is called the ULTIMATE Blackbelt Test.

Side note: A school-wide challenge was sent up by our Sifu Prince to do 1000 kicks this Friday. Just wanted to say I’m in. Should be fun.
