I will NOT be a fat Master!

I cannot tell you how embarrassing it is to be a 4th Degree Black Belt and be 20 pounds out of shape.  I feel a bit hypocritical showing up to teach martial arts classes where I make all these kids and adults run around and work out, while I stand there and watch....but that's what I've become.  The typical, lazy Master who no longer cares about himself.

Give it a few years and I'll look like the Martial Arts instructors you see at tournaments who's belt you can't find because it's hidden under a layer of fat.  The guy who in the back of your mind you wonder how anyone can respect training from when they allow themselves to look like that....you know what I mean.

Well, I'm catching it early.  I WON'T ALLOW MYSELF TO BE THAT!!!  Starting today, I'm getting my butt back in shape.  In 3 months, I want to be ready to compete.  In 6 months, I want to be winning competitions.  In 6 months, I want to compete at the US Open!  Possible?  I guess we'll find out!
