Recruit Chris, reporting for duty, sir!

[DojangManChris]

Howdy-ho all you fit and awesome people! I've spent the last week or so reading just about everything on the site, and felt like it was time I officially declared for the Rebellion!

My name is Chris, hailing from Baltimore MD. I'm a data analyst by day (read:I live in an Oracle database 40 hours per week) and a martial arts instructor by night. Nerd-wise, I love RPG's (video and table-top), reading, writing, and live action war games (Darkon, anyone?).

I read the post on picking your real-world character class, and I want to be a Ranger/Monk!

Super Ridiculous Ultimate Goal: Open a degree-granting live-in dojo that mixes a collegiate education with the benefits of the martial arts. A true College of the Martial Arts focusing on human physiology, kinesiology, health, nutrition, fitness, and of course, martial arts!

Short Term Personal Goals:

• Take my 20.4% body fat down to 15%
  
• Do 10 body weight pull ups
  
• Do 100 non-stop pushups
  

What I've Done Towards My SRUG:

• Teaching martial arts professionally
  
• Beginning to offer private lessons
  
• Looking into fitness certifications
  
• Looking into additional college degrees in intended disciplines
  

What I've Done Towards My Short term Goals:

• Body Weight training 3-4 times per week
  
• HIIT training 3 times per week
  
• Started following the Paleo Diet
  

So that's me and where I want to be in a nutshell!
