Spear Warrior Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Hi! I'm not overweight and I am quite fit. What am I doing here then? I need to be better at staying fit. That is what. I am a (soon) 31 years old viking ninja (norwegian martial artist). I have quite a bit of experience with physical excercise, but no really good results of keeping myself in top shape. I have been a bit overweight though, but starting to compete more seriously made me change that. I have gone from about 96 kgs to under 78 in under two years. Unfortunately after the last big competition I regained most of the weight I got rid of prior to it, and I'm back to about 85 kgs. I know how to lose them, but I need to get better at keeping the loss. My ideal non-competition weight is around 80 kgs. Outside of this, NerdFitness has motivated me to write down a bunch of life goals. I need some more education to get a steady full-time job. I want to travel more. I want to be able to perform some incredibly cool skills (including martial arts, which I'm decent at but not impressive). I have written those goals in a book. I have told people close to me about them. I am on my way. Main life goal at the moment: Attend and pass one year of Mathematics at university level. Part goals related: Save money to afford that year of very little work. Re-learn high school level mathematics. Fitness goals: Heal a shoulder injury while working on the weaknesses and inflexibility that allowed it to happen. Press kick higher. Do more pull-ups. (When shoulder is ready) work on tuck planche and handstand. Stretch towards splits. I hope this place will keep me on the right track outside of competition season. Edit: Forgot to add my Nerd-credentials... Star Wars and TMNT fan since early 90s. I've read fantasy since before it was cool, played Warhammer Fantasy, Magic the Gathering and Dungeons and Dragons since the 90s. I have read manga and watched anime, but only follow One Piece and Hajime no Ippo nowadays. I started learning martial arts because of the ninja turtles and Jackie Chan... 2018 edit: I'm back. Maybe. Got lost during some challenge but completed a lot of personal goals along the way. I started and completed my "final" year of studies and I'm qualified to be a mathematics teacher. I passed my 3rd degree test in Taekwon-Do. I am worse at planche, but getting back to it. I also did 10 000 side kicks as a 2017-Bruce Lee-type challenge. 2 Quote Level 4 Human Assassin/Monk Str 11 | Dex 10 | Sta 2 | Con 6 | Wis 8 | Cha 4Intro - Challenges: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 Link to comment
Tanktimus the Encourager Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Welcome to the rebellion. This is the right place for guidance on step-by-step progress towards a goal. It sounds like you might want to hang around with the Monks. Also, a six week challenge will be starting in two to three weeks. We recommend everyone do their first challenge in the recruit guild.

Spear Warrior Posted September 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Thanks guys! I think I might be a multiclass Monk/Assassin (with a few real life monk levels after 13 years of martial arts, and just getting started as an assassin). I'll use you guys here as a tool for keeping my life in order. I will hopefully be active in the challenges, as they seem to be just what I need to set partial goals with a due date. 2 Quote Level 4 Human Assassin/Monk Str 11 | Dex 10 | Sta 2 | Con 6 | Wis 8 | Cha 4Intro - Challenges: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 Link to comment
