:rolleyes: What if you hit the lottery and...

[skribs]

--- Would you devote all your time to MA?

No, but I would probably triple the amount of time I spend on martial arts.

--- Would you train in two or more styles at the same time?

I already do, but I might add a third to the list, as well as practice a more well-rounded striking regiment.

--- Would you move across the country to be closer to a certain dojo/instructor?

--- Would you go to Japan/China/Korea etc?

No, I don’t like change.

--- Would you abandon MA altogether for other pursuits? (Be honest.)

I would be so out of shape if I abandoned MA

--- Would you build a massive multi-style training center and relocate masters
in those styles to teach there?

No…but the house I have would have my own personal gym built in.

---

Overall, not much would change for me on the MA front. Now, the big question is are we talking that I won a $50 mil just-reset jackpot or a $5 mil portion of a work pool, or did I win a few hundred on my own? If it’s a “small” fortune, I’d get my own house and set it up with a nice gym and a whole ton of board games with part, and then live off the interest of the rest.

If I got a large fortune, I’d found a gaming company and be the CEO of the company that dethrones World of Warcraft as the king of MMORPGs.

Imagine you hit the lottery and won more money than you would ever need.

Of course, we all would quit our jobs....

I'd still have to do something. I would certainly take time to do things I want to do, but working is something I'd have to do, even if it was a PT job.

As a MA, what would you do if you now have all the time and resources you need?

--- Would you devote all your time to MA?

No. Besides, I don't want to get divorced.

--- Would you train in two or more styles at the same time?

I already do. IMO, once you start doing more than 2, it would get to the point of being impossible to devote any serious time to training.

--- Would you move across the country to be closer to a certain dojo/instructor?

Probably not. I'm more than happy with my current teacher. However, I'd certainly take the time to train with some folks in various areas.

--- Would you go to Japan/China/Korea etc?

Yes! IMO, I think it'd be pretty cool to travel to the homeland of an art and train over there. I'd go to the PI and train Arnis/Kali, and I'd go to Japan with my teacher and train at one of the Kyokushin dojos there.

--- Would you abandon MA altogether for other pursuits? (Be honest.)

Never! I've devoted too many years of my life to stop now.

--- Would you build a massive multi-style training center and relocate masters
in those styles to teach there?

No, but I would devote some time to traveling and training with various teachers.

Man if I won the lottery i would tell my manager a piece of my mind and we'll i can go all day...

First I would buy a blt sandwich no tomatoes no lettuce and double the bacon

But mainly... Get a nicer place to stay that would be nice
(afcoarse I'd continue the martial arts I'm in, maybe join another school to do more martial arts /separate days afcoarse)

Would you devote all your time to MA?

No but I would both train and instruct more.

Would you train in two or more styles at the same time?

Already training in two styles, don`t plan on adding any more to my already tight schedule.

Would you move across the country to be closer to a certain dojo/instructor?

No, I am already where I want to be. If I wasn`t I might move.

Would you go to Japan/China/Korea etc?

Sure, and lots of other places.

Would you abandon MA altogether for other pursuits?

No, but I do have other intrests I`d spend time on. Booze and women for instance...

Would you build a massive multi-style training center and relocate masters
in those styles to teach there?

No, but several dojos I train at could use certain upgrades.
