MARTIAL MUSINGS

  1. Lineage dating all the way back to 1650 China is great but don’t flaunt it like protective shield as you’re only as good as what you’re personally capable of. I live in the 21st century and your forefathers aren’t reflective of what you can do as an individual now. Carry their values with you but be in the here and now.

2. I am not stuck in the past. I don’t live my life as a reincarnation of a 500-year old Buddhist monk so when I see a North American pretending he/she is from Eastern Asia it turns me off very quickly These are often the same people who criticize Asian people for wanting to be more Western. Pot calling kettle black.

3.  I don’t chant mantras from books from generations back like Confucious. If they can help me in my current state be a better husband, father, son and friend..then fantastic…but I am not Musashi nor do I idolize or pray at the altar of Bruce Lee, though I accept they both had great contributions to this industry.

4. I am tired of those who tell me that, because I’m pragmatic, functional and modern with my approach to violence, personal preservation, safety, self-defence and combatives that I have less of a philosophy than traditionalists. In fact, from many I’ve met I have a much stronger one. Many I’ve met have no idea when they should and shouldn’t use countervailing force. What constitutes a “self-defence” scenario and what doesn’t. What verbal diffusion is. (If you don’t practice it you WILL NOT use it, contrary to what you tell me) How to be situationally aware because it’s unnecessary due to all the mystical lineage-giving powers you possess. What your superpowered chi can do to other human beings who oppose you. (HINT. It’s not throwing someone across the room with a no-touch knockout.) What adrenaline does to you and the cost using violence forces one to pay.

5. I am tired of those who hide behind a belt and believe that it means they can rest on their laurels just because it’s colored. Authenticity, blood, sweat and tears are worth the effort but many believe they’re color of belt is the equivalent of their level of being able to defend themselves and I’m afraid the correlation isn’t that direct.

6.Though you believe you’ve been “training for 40 years and know the system like the back of your hand”, if you’ve stopped training for 15 and aren’t teaching you are NO LONGER training. You’ve stopped, thus the “time put in” factor is not quite the same as the rest of us who continue rain or shine.

7. I don’t believe you can give people life skills from a book. Combat is chaotic. Situation awareness is organic and subjective. Violence is sudden. Human physiology is complex. Books give knowledge but some things need to be experienced.

8. When you tell me that “I remember when I was 40..great age…very inexperienced” you are being condescending. Especially when you tell me you’ve taught for 5 years of your “40 years of experience” and I’ve taught for 15, including to military, police, security and prison personnel.

9. I grow weary of traditionalists who act like they’re superior because they put their left pinky finger at a 37.8 degree angle in their vaunted cat stance (which should be taught as a stance with a 73-27 weight distribution, by the way). Secret techniques that can subtly screw the reality-based and MMA community that nobody has to prove because of the lethality involved. Superiority without proof, other than that my master’s master’s master told him it’d work…therefore….it works. Tradition has it’s place and it’s important to know where we’ve come from but don’t hide behind it. What happened in 1300 feudal Japan is not necessary applicable to June 14, 2014.

10. You are also wrong when you tell me there is no such thing as reality-based self-defence or combatives or combat martial arts as they’re all reality-based and combative. I’m sorry but they may all have been at one point but they are no longer all. Kicks to the head on ice or in the rain, rolling around on the ground waiting 10 minutes for that submission to open, punching with your hands on your hips, training barefoot, one-punch-one-kill…in most circumstances not applicable for the modern streets with the modern criminal with modern tactics.

11. I also grow weary of those who claim that we (you and I) should freely exchange techniques and I should openly share with you what I know at no fee because a) that’s the way the old masters would’ve done it (I’m sure my family would think differently of my working for free) and b) you’ve taken two seminar certification courses in the same art so you’re a qualified instructor. Please.

Jokerizer is a Yggdrasil Gaming-powered slot game with 5 reels and 10 paylines. With a 98% RTP rate and a jester fruit machine theme, you can spin away from just 20p per spin. 3 or more Joker symbols will lead to a Mystery Win of up to 600 times your total bet. The first paytable costs 20 coins per round and it features prizes of 100-2,000 coins per sequence. The second paytable, however, offers the same top payouts but also much better lower prizes, ones that start at 200 coins. Both paytables feature the special joker symbols which can pay in other directions then indicated with the five available paylines. Depending on your bet, you can win prizes by lining up jokers from top to bottom across the middle reel or by collecting the icons in the same direction on all available reels.

    It’s worth talking about the audiovisuals because the developers have done a great job here. The game plays out on a large 6×5 grid against a very bright forest backdrop. Everything is sharp and colourful. The main symbols-horseshoes, pints of beer, bags of gold-are drawn in a modern style. The music is a proper Irish tune that gets your foot tapping without becoming annoying after ten minutes. And when you land a win, the music swells, adding to the excitement. Heather Penney: He was based out of both San Francisco and Denver and then back into San Francisco. So, when we were living in Nevada, that was where he was first based, but as unfortunately so many people know now, that airlines is a cyclical business and he experienced a six year furlough. And during that period of time, he then was a test pilot for a company called Lear Fan out at Stead, Nevada. He was recalled to United Airlines shortly before Lear Fan closed for business. And shortly thereafter, we then moved out to Denver, and he was based there, he spent a lot of time as an instructor pilot at the Denver Training Center, and then closed out his airline career flying International.

  478. Interesting blog post. What I would like to add is that pc memory needs to be purchased but if your computer still can’t cope with whatever you do by using it. One can set up two random access memory boards with 1GB each, as an example, but not one of 1GB and one with 2GB. One should always check the car maker’s documentation for own PC to make sure what type of ram is needed.

  479. Thank you, I’ve recently been searching for information about this topic for ages and yours is the greatest I have discovered so far. But, what about the bottom line? Are you sure about the source?

  480. Thanks for the strategies you share through this blog. In addition, a lot of young women that become pregnant usually do not even seek to get health insurance because they have anxiety they won’t qualify. Although a lot of states today require that insurers present coverage irrespective of the pre-existing conditions. Rates on these kinds of guaranteed plans are usually higher, but when with the high cost of medical treatment it may be any safer approach to take to protect your own financial potential.

  488. One thing is that often one of the most common incentives for using your cards is a cash-back and also rebate present. Generally, you get 1-5 back on various expenditures. Depending on the credit cards, you may get 1 back on most acquisitions, and 5 in return on expenditures made in convenience stores, gasoline stations, grocery stores along with ‘member merchants’.

  495. Thanks for the strategies you share through this web site. In addition, a lot of young women which become pregnant tend not to even make an effort to get medical insurance because they dread they probably would not qualify. Although a few states currently require that insurers give coverage no matter what about the pre-existing conditions. Prices on these kinds of guaranteed plans are usually higher, but when considering the high cost of medical care it may be a new safer route to take to protect the financial potential.

  497. Great blog post. What I would like to make contributions about is that personal computer memory has to be purchased should your computer still cannot cope with that which you do by using it. One can add two good old ram boards containing 1GB each, as an illustration, but not one of 1GB and one having 2GB. One should check the maker’s documentation for the PC to be sure what type of memory is essential.

  498. This paragraph provides clear idea for the new viewers of blogging, that truly how to do blogging and site-building.

  499. Hello! I’ve been following your weblog for a long time now and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out from Houston Tx! Just wanted to mention keep up the great job!

  501. One thing I’ve noticed is the fact that there are plenty of beliefs regarding the banking companies intentions any time talking about property foreclosure. One myth in particular is the fact the bank prefers to have your house. The bank wants your cash, not your property. They want the amount of money they lent you together with interest. Staying away from the bank will undoubtedly draw a foreclosed summary. Thanks for your publication.

  504. Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any tips and hints for inexperienced blog writers? I’d certainly appreciate it.

  505. Throughout the awesome design of things you’ll get an A+ for effort and hard work. Where you misplaced us ended up being in the details. You know, as the maxim goes, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be more accurate at this point. Having said that, permit me tell you just what exactly did deliver the results. The text is actually highly convincing and this is most likely the reason why I am making an effort to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, despite the fact that I can certainly see the leaps in reasoning you make, I am not necessarily sure of exactly how you appear to unite your ideas which inturn make the conclusion. For now I will yield to your issue however wish in the future you connect your facts better.

  506. Hi my friend! I want to say that this post is amazing, nice written and include almost all significant infos. I would like to see more posts like this.

  510. Greetings! I’ve been reading your website for a while now and finally got the bravery to go ahead and give you a shout out from Lubbock Tx! Just wanted to mention keep up the great job!

  511. Great work! This is the type of info that should be shared around the web. Shame on Google for not positioning this post higher! Come on over and visit my web site . Thanks =)

  517. One thing I’ve noticed is there are plenty of beliefs regarding the banking companies intentions any time talking about home foreclosure. One fantasy in particular is the fact the bank would like your house. Your banker wants your hard earned dollars, not your house. They want the amount of money they lent you together with interest. Staying away from the bank will only draw some sort of foreclosed realization. Thanks for your article.

  521. Thanks for the concepts you have provided here. In addition, I believe there are several factors which keep your insurance premium decrease. One is, to consider buying autos that are in the good directory of car insurance companies. Cars that are expensive will be more at risk of being snatched. Aside from that insurance policies are also using the value of the car, so the more expensive it is, then higher a premium you spend.

  523. Hi my friend! I wish to say that this article is amazing, nice written and include almost all significant infos. I would like to see more posts like this.
