10 yrs.....good question.

In 10 years I'll be 42....

If the body holds up, and time as well, I should have attained a black belt in Modern Arnis by then... As secondary goals.... A black belt/sash in Wing Chun and a mastery of the Katana.

I've always had a desire to master the sword....

Nowhere in particular.

Like Mr. Hubbard there are other arts I'd still like to sample and maybe even attempt to master; but I no longer train for any other reason than enjoyment of the arts.

I want my own dojang. BUT, I refuse to open one if I feel I lack in something. Like if (I should be a 4th dan by then) I get to 4th dan, and I feel I'm not worthy of it, I'll wait till I think I'm ready (I'd rather wait till I'm a 4th dan, at least). I don't want to be just physically able to teach martial arts, but mentally as well.

I also want to be ranked (black belt) in one or two other arts to give my students a choice. And/or mix things up a bit.

I hope to continue to learn and still be able to teach.

With this said I hope to have the respect of my peers and to be able to give that respect in return as well.

hmmm... in 10 years, I hope I'll have earned my black belt... but since its been 14 years and a million extenuating circumstances so far, who knows?

10 years???

I'm hoping to be teaching at least part time. Not necessarily on my own but still teaching. So I guess that means I also need to be a black belt, so I better work on that first.

One step at a time.

:D

Retired from the State of Texas, teaching full-time and physically able to continue my own training, full-time instead of 3-4 days a week. We can always hope.

I hope to be doing what I'm doing now, Still learning and teaching. I do think I'd like to expand my studies to include the Filipino Arts as well.

Hey Shinzu. Open a dojang up here. There's no TSD dojangs here :( I like TKD a lot, but I still miss TSD.

I see myself still being a student. I really never have the desire to become an instructor. By that time hopefully Ive found an art or system, and instructor that I feel best suits me. beacause it hasnt happend in the past 10 years. but i have my first Pektit Tersia class at 530 tonight, so i still have hope
