The beginning

For the longest time now I've wanted to be a fighter. My name is Matthew J Cohen and this is the beginning of what I hope becomes a daily thing. I'm hoping to really become a fighter and I've givin myself a year to get into an amateur mma fight. So alittle bit about that background, I used to train in Muay Thai and western boxing  and always wanted to fight but never got the chance to. I now study Goju Ryu Karate and really mix it in with my Muay Thai and Boxing. I really decided to keep this blog because I want to remind myself of what I want.

my goals are 

Number One. Keep training my Karate while mixing it with my other skills.

Number Two. Get into better shape, good enough to compete in.

Number Three. Get up to 145 to 150 pounds.

Number Four. Shed off the fat once I get to that weight.

Number Five. Finally compete.

Those are my goals as of right now, I currently weigh in at 130.6Lbs with 9.1% body fat and 48.3% muscle mass. It's not bad but not good enough as well. I bought a weight gainer so tomorrow I will start taking it. I'll weigh in every sunday. I know I'll be gaining fat with this as well, but I'm also going to be eating a low fat diet. Lots of chicken, tuna veggies, that sort of thing.

Well I guess thats enough for tonight, I'll post more tomorrow.
