Kata goals, or how to destroy ones legs for fun and profit.

Tonight after class, Mike-san and were discussing kata goals for the year. For those that don’t know, Sensei Hartman is on some sort of sadistic quest to do a bazillion katas this year. I don’t know the exact number, but its A LOT. I think it was 100 of each kata, with three katas per month.

That being said, it was recommended that I join them during the month that they do Sochin. I had intended to set a kata goal for the year but never quite got around to it. So here it goes:

I’m going to do 2000 Sochin kata this year.

If I figure in my 156 workout goal for the year, that breaks down to 12.82 (so I’m going to say 13) Sochin per scheduled workout. With such a regular workout in Sochin dachi (stance), my human legs should hold out until April, when my annual bonus comes in at work. At what time I will purchase cybernetic implants, get them hardwired in, and finish my goal for the year.

That means I’m going to have legs like a mechanized Greek god by the end of this year.
