UBBT
| My first test Thursday. Since I'm leaving for 5 weeks before the test, my instructor is going to let me do it before I leave. Unfortunately, this means I'll be doing it....alone...in front of the whole class. Lucky me. I started doing my own little version of the Ultimate Black Belt Test (UBBT), but I dumbed it down enough for a white belt. Instead of a year, I'm only going to go 6 months, and I dropped all the numbers down to 25%. If it works out, then I'll do a harder version, all the way up to the actual UBBT when I make Black Belt. Here are the basics: 250 miles run/walked 13,000 pushups 13,000 situps 10 forms/week 3 random acts of kindness per day 6 books read Daily journal of progress 6 personal victories We'll see how it goes. I'm doing ok so far, though it's easy to fall behind. I was thinking of entering a tournament in FL since that's where I'll be training while I'm away. We'll see. |

post a commentWow, that sounds ambitious! Since I'm not familiar with UBBT, I'm a little confused-- it is over the 6 months time you'd accomplish the scaled down version of accomplishments, or during the 5 weeks you'll be away? And prepping for Nationals? That's a big deal. I wish I could afford to go, financially and time-wise. I'm going to have a hard enough time going to regionals this fall as it is. I've already seen where my category color belts 30-39 in NJ is already a very sought after thing, and that's because a few people in the category here in NJ went to Nationals. Bleeh. I would've gone if I could. That means I have to work that much harder to get some points. My stuff isn't even posted yet! You go! I like your black belt attitude! ;-)
Ambitious isn't even the word for that....more like INSANE! :)
Good luck. Keep us posted!
