I have been stressing overtime. This senior project is a lot harder than I thought. But the thing that is hard is balancing everything at one time. I mean it's pretty smooth going to everything but it's more of the academics that's getting in the way. I can easily go to the dojo or the gym and workout, I have made out time for each of those things so that is pretty cool. But I also have to write up a research paper on martial arts.
I was only assigned to do a big research paper on the history of martial arts and how it compares to 3-5 other fighting styles, but I also want to write up a research paper on the guy who was the leader of the bigger martial arts nation; I want to know more about the guy. Also I haven't practiced or even found another place to go to so that I can try a different style of fighting. Once I do that then it will be a lot easier to start my paper but I have things to do first.
I need to contact some people from recreation centers or other dojos/gyms that practice fighting style. I want to make up some interview questions so that I can see how martial arts is different from the trainers perspective. GOing to the gym to work with the trainer and interview them will give me a lot of insight into how the style are different. Of course I can't work on the style for months, so those one or two times that I do to work out in that style will be very crucial to research. I want to bring someone with me so that they can record the workout and interview so that I can bring it to my final meeting. Evidence is always better.
So I have these things to do:
1. Find 3 places that I can train at,
2. Make up interview questions
3. Make a date to go to each one
4. Find someone that I can rely on to come and record the workout and interview.
