[]You can have a karate contest, or kung fu or taekwondo or whatever, and you can win at it. The idea for this contest came to me from a fellow I met on the net. He said he wanted to do his karate kata 1000 times in one year.
Now doing a kung fu pattern 1000 times in 365 days is a lot, but...it can be accomplished. You could do it three times a day for a year, or ten times a day for 100 days, and it certainly seemed doable. So I wrote him and asked him about it, and he said that it included a lot of other things.
The full program included something like run a thousand miles, do the kata a thousand times, do 50,000 sit ups, and do 50,000 push ups. He even included read 12 books, and then he added something I don't think it is possible to do: 10,000 acts of random kindness. Man, now the thing was looking a little steep!
So I started thinking about it. Back in the 1960s John F. Kennedy got everybody in America jazzed about walking 50 miles in one day. And, the iron man Marathon started because three guys got to talking about how much swim, bike and run they could do. So, even with 10,000 acts of random kindness, the thing was possible.
Now, if you're attending college and don't have the time, you could set lower standards, and then do the real thing in a few months during the summer. Or, if you have to be at work a lot, maybe there's ways to get loose during the week for short work outs, and then do a master blaster on Saturday and Sunday. Or, maybe you've got the time and...why not just do it?
I mean, all you've got to lose is your saggy tummy and sloth and less than desireable habits! Correcto mundo? So why not go for it and see if you can best the contest?
So I figured you should include the following items. Running, kata, and a full regimen of body calisthenics. Maybe, on the easy side, run two miles, do your kata(s) 2, 3 5, or 10 times (depending on how many kata you know), and do ten different body calisthenics twenty times each.
If you've got the time, or maybe you've got those summer time blues and want to get rid of them, run ten miles, do your kung fu forms 20, 30, 50 times each (depending on how many patterns you know), do 50 repetitions of 10 types of body exercises. Man, that would knock the chub off you, make those muscles lean and hard, and give your mental attitude a sharp but pleasant edge of 'I can do it!' If you really want to jam...get a dozen friends and knock your socks off!
So that's the game I had in mind. I think it is very doable, and it will result in a new you. Whether you have a karate contest, or kung fu or taekwondo, you're going to have one heck of a great time!
