Progress and Flexibility

Recently I have reached a point in my training where I don't seem to learn as many new moves compared to improving my technique, speed, and power. I have learned a variety of different kicks and punches and worked them to the point where they are muscle memory, and just natural reactions. I have been taking yoga through San Ramon to improve my flexibility and I have seen an improvement in my flexibility, range, and power since I began yoga. On top of yoga everyday in class, I have got into a routine of stretching before I go to bed, which has really made the difference. I really enjoy seeing the progress I have made and how far I have come since I started training.

Likes and Dislikes

One of the things that I really like about myself is my personality, I am a very determined and outgoing person that can talk to anybody, and I enjoy learning new things and up to trying new things at all times. Determination is a very important trait to me and without it I don't think I would be able to commit myself to my mixed martial arts training, weight lifting, and school work all at the same time. Being outgoing is also a very useful thing because it lets me talk to anybody that I want to and I never have to be nervous or shy in a situation involving meeting new people.

One thing that I dislike about myself is my patience. Sometimes I just cannot seem to wait for things to happen. I feel like I always have to be doing something or going somewhere, and just always be the most productive person that I can be. This is good in a sense, but it can also be bad, because relaxation is also a very important thing to relieve stress and anger, and help you reflect on your day.

1st Semester

My first semester in iQuest was very successful. I really enjoyed the class and learning what other people are interested in and want to pursue in their future. Many of the blogs are interesting and are full of cool information from different types of passions. I also enjoyed the energy of the class, and I felt like it gave me more motivation to train because i was being rewarded with a shorter school day for my hard work. One thing I disliked about the class was the book we were assigned to read, it may have been my poor choice in the book but I am not a reader in general. iQuest is a great class and I look forward to continuing with my training throughout second semester.
