Hi! For those who are new. I'm a 35 year old computer programmer from northern germany. I train chen style taijiquan. It's a martial art from china. The better known druidic tai chi orginiated from it. My introduction thread: http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/65161-hello-from-germany/ My nickname is burrowed from a general. According to the historians he is guy who wrote the first text (in the 16th hundreds) about taiji. So as i like to geek out about china(been there 4 times), i thought a reference to sun tzu's classic would be a nice theme for my next challenge. Now the general who wins a battle makes many calculations in his temple ere the battle is fought. The general who loses a battle makes but few calculations beforehand. Thus do many calculations lead to victory, and few calculations to defeat: how much more no calculation at all! It is by attention to this point that I can foresee who is likely to win or lose. -Chapter 1 : Laying Plans I want to make daily and weekly plans about what to cook and when to shop for groceries and i will post these plans on sundays. I want to make at least 4 Meals per week by myself. Like in the last challenge i will post daily updates about how the day before went. With those updates i will post the goals for the next day. (As far as possible i will name specific times). On the next update i will report on the progress of those goals. During the last challenge i started budgeting with ynab. I will note every expense every day of the challenge in ynab und do a full budget for oktober and november. There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare.- Chapter 2 : Waging war During the Challenge i want to get all items on the following list done and of my mind, there were there for to long:1. I hang my heavy bag mostly on a roof beam with a rope. From there it has to be taken down, when we are having a party in our flat. After this it takes me ages to set it up again. It at least want to hang it up again. But i will look for a more permanent solution.2. Wrap up my Game of Thrones Tabletop RPG Campaign. 3. I need some new nice pictures of myself. Contact a photographer. 4. In November will be for a weekend in London and then travel to spain. I need to get this organized. 5. I need to move my desk at home a bit.6. I want attend a test lesson of an escrima school recently discovered. 7. My bookshelfs are completly full. I will comb through and sell books i don't need or read anymore.8. My wardrobe needs an upgrade. I will sort through it and throw away or donate anything thats not used anymore.9. I will take an exam for a specific programming certification.10. Reconnect with a friend. Call him up. Thus the energy developed by good fighting men is as the momentum of a round stone rolled down a mountain thousands of feet in height. So much on the subject of energy.- Chapter 5 : Energy To develop this energy i will need sleep, meditation and exercise. 1. I will sleep at least 7 hours everyday. Lights are out by 23:45. 2. I will meditate every day using headspace. At least 15 minutes. (This will be included in the daily goals).3. I will do one short handform per day. (This will be included in the daily goals).Also this last third point will be my focus area. If everything else fails i try to meditate everyday and to get my sleep. So lets go to work... (Until Monday i might change these goals, im quite happy with them but who knows)...

Su'cuy gar, vode an! This is the King of Lame and I'm curious as to if anyone has done any work with escrima sticks. I am currently teaching myself and a friend what very little I know, we're having fun but not really getting better. So I'm requesting any helpful tips and tricks anyone has to offer. Or if you know of any sites that can help provide useful information, I would greatly appreciate it. Vor'e and stay rebellious, Nerds!
