Motivation

I like practicing martial arts, but I sorely lack motivation. Solution? Go with friends. I'm going with David (my dentist's brother) to Chris' (David's buddy) TKD gym. Chris is a 4th dan, very personable. The gym is very new (3 wks old) and there's very few people there.

That's good and bad...

Good - I get almost personal attention. I don't think I need that attention because I don't think I really much in the way of "instruction" per se. I don't really intend to go competitive, I don't really care to go for belts either, I just want to work out, spar, improve my skills.

Bad - There's nobody there that's anywhere near my level, except Chris. And it's a school, so I gotta pay for this stuff, which I don't really want to. I like the space, the mats, the equipment, so I wonder if I can rent time from Chris or something...

Ah, we'll see what happens. If I can get a few folks to do this with me, I may end up just renting space and running my own stuff... We'll see...
