Banned for being a dick on the board, in private messages, and then taking that dick-ness off the board and harassing members elsewhere for it. Time to go!

Ever since I got my car. I have been givin a lot of opportunities to better myself. On the first day, I applied for more hours, and got them.

However, there was something I wanted to look back on. Training.

I took Tae Qwon Do while I was in High School. Unfortunately, the school is closed, and Master Seo has moved back to Korea.

However, I do not wish to go back into martial arts. I want to build up my physical strength, and reach back into mind over matter.

The human body is capable of reaching mind over matter even at an early age. When I was young, I would train by hitting a ball attached to a string until there were bruises on my hand. Hitting as hard as I can so I can block or hit any oncoming objects at great speed.

In my teen years. I wore weights in my arms and legs during school to build my stamina. Not to mention during sparring at Tae Qwon Do. I would only take them off whenever I was either done for the day, or when I was hanging out with friends.

Late in my high school years. I played Pump it Up, which is a dancing simulation game on the arcade. For five years I built up to one of the hardest difficulties and retired.

So how can I rebuild myself back up?

Martial arts is out of the question. I quit at the red belt degree. It's the law in Georgia to sign a waver saying you are a deadly weapon once you hit red. And by law, if you get into any fights. The martial arts user is held responsible for all damages. This goes to most other states too.

I have been thinking about joining Golds Gym for the past two days. $19.99 a month, no contract, and no bullshit. Also, they have personal trainers who are $4.99 an hour. Luckily for me, I have a good buddy who wants to become a personal trainer, so I sent him a message not too long ago and asked if he could help me. Unfortunately, he is not going to be in my area for long. So I went a step further.

Somethingawful.com forums has a little section called Watch and Weight. However, I soon learned about ikillhostages's personal training.

NOTE: That link will not work unless you are a goon

NOTE: New diet as in laying off of the Ramen basically.

I sent him a message. Sent him some pics of me. And he sent me a quote. His offer is a new diet, me only drinking once a week, and having a set (Bendable) schedule for the gym. For a good price too. All for half a year.

Have not sent in the payment because I am still laying out my options.

Martial

I have actually wanted to get back in to martial arts for a long time. Being severely out of shape, I need to do something to stay active. And its something my wife is interested in. I haven't been to a formal school since I did Taekwando about 16 years ago. I only made it up to a yellow with green stripe IIRC, my brother made it to blue.

There are several schools near where we live. Even a Gracie Jiu jitsu center just down the road.

edit: My wife also loves to play softball, so maybe we'll join a coed league. But I think she really wants to do fast pitch again, so I'll have to see if there are any adult leagues she can join.
