Only twice? WTF?

Short term - Go to 4 classes a week

long term - Figure out the mental part of competing and roll like I do in class.

Lol new baby in a month, twice is looking realistic. Theres a lot of stuff in the works concerning jiu jitsu.

Cut to 190-200 lbs
Get more flexible
Get a solid berimbolo game
Compete at naga worlds

Switch from MMA to pure jiu jitsu for awhile.
Learn more Japanese. Visit Jeremy Deschner in Japan with a friend of mine in Juli/august. Visit Paraestra. Hold hands with tame otters. Feed cheeseburger bread to tame deer. Give a monkey a cigarette in an Onzen. Eat some fugu fish. Finish my art project.
Apply for a job as a hotel clerk, nightshift.

Short term; Fire up the cano and finish my school application form. :)

Short Term -
Improve my flexibility
Work less at my job and spend more time on jiu jitsu

Long Term -
Grow a beard
visit 10th planet HQ

Short Term-
Go to HQ for a month to train (current issues unfortunately)
Continue to get better every week
Enter as many competitions as possible

Long Term-

Open up a BJJ School

Short Term-
Compete as much as possible and learn as much as possible in all facets of MMA
Complete my university degree
Purple belt in BJJ

Mid Term -

Long Term-

Become world champion in MMA on a major promotion
Retire at 35 and open my own academy
Look after my body and brain

Thanks for reviving this Rick. It helps keep yourself accountable when you make your goals known to a group. Mine for 2014 are:

Compete more than I did in 2013 (more than 8 times)
Medal more than I did in 2013 (15)
Compete in either No gi Pans or Worlds
Get hired by a police department- I'm on the hire list for two and will be taking the LAPD test in April
Travel to Los Angeles three times (One complete and the second is already booked)
Work on takedowns and being more aggressive
Continue working to bring the women grapplers in Chicago together through free open mats and promoting cross training

Yeah this year I would love my blue belt ( if my instructor thinks I'm ready )

And I wanna compete as much as possible and win at least 1 match

This is an awesome thread, reading other peoples goals inspires me to achieve mine even more :-)
