Build a Dojo for my instructor so I wouldnt have to keep getting thrown into the walls in the TINY space we train in.

Oh, and host a LOT of seminars in said space.

Heh heh.

I'd have a kenpo party. I'd pay seniors their seminar rates, and
fly them in. I'd fly in some kenpo friends that I've met online,
and invite certain members from the surrounding areas, plus
my instructors, and certain members from my school, to all work
out, like a by invitation only kenpo camp or something. But I'd
have major eats for each meal, and booze and music at night.

Get up, shake off the hangovers, and get back on the mats.
For a whole weekend, like starting friday night, and then sendin'
everybody back sunday afternoon or evening.

This is what I'd do. Build a bigger Dojo for my instructor. We have so many people now it's unbelievable.

If we're talking about the REALLY big lotto winnings then I'd quit work, build a martial arts complex (not just a dojo) train full time and attempt to become the mecca of the MA world. Oh, yeah, and I'd sponsor martial talk for a couple of years:D

That would be good everyone could meet up. Best of all we could have mat time.. put up or shut up for all the sh** talkers here people that claim they are a bad a** . Let's put them on that mat if you make up excuses not to then we know who just talks and who can back up what they say.

Hmm.

Win lotto - what to do MA wise?

Buy lots of land and build big house, with a fully equiped training area. Hold annual MT training camp with the best of the best instructing. Free admission for MT members.

Travel the world training with the best instructors in the arts that interest me.

drop the 50k into MT that will allow it to become the leading source for all things martial

The other non-MA stuff:
-take care of my familys needs
-place 10% in a fund to help others
-fund my business
-buy a humvee :)
-build a huge paintball field on the land with all the gear n stuff.

:)

Why, just let them do what they have always done and you would most likely forget about training.:p
