Aikido, The Latest Martial Art

Rhys Jones | July 21, 2010

The sphere of Martial Arts is one of the most important contributions of Asia to the world. Who will forget Bruce Lee and the fact that he was first and foremost a martial arts competitor before becoming a movie star? Martial arts pictures are a huge hit with the ever-increasing popularity of Asian cinema like ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’ and more recently ‘The House of the Flying Daggers’.

The Chinese are the first nation that come to mind when it you think of such things, but the Japanese are just as athletic with a rich tradition of body contact sports in their past. Modern Japan still gives honor to the martial arts by holding tournaments and promoting their sports around the world,

One of these is Aikido. It is interesting to note the fact that the word comes from three Japanese characters from which one derives the meaning of the one word. Ai means ‘joining’, Ki signifies ‘spirit’ and Do means ‘way’. From this we can understand why Aikido lies beyond merely the physical skills of it students, particularly since its first proponent, Ueshiba, focused on the spiritual and philosophical improvement of his students.

In Aikido, one is not trained in violence as a substitute, one is taught to be in harmony with the adversary so that you are able to defeat him more easily. This might appear strange but it really works. In attacking an opponent, the aim of the Aikido practitioner is to be one with the adversary so as to be able to tackle him where he is weakest and in so doing, deflect or put him out of action, but never to kill him.

This is where Aikido becomes an art form. Art is something delightful to look at and something constructive and Aikido is all that. At least one of the contestants involved in the combat is searching for concord and concord can only be achieved if there is grace in the actions. The moves may be premeditated, but there is an air of finesse in carrying out these movements. Not a feminine grace, but a grace that emanates peace. The ‘art of peace’ is what they call it in Aikido and it is one of the most affirmative influences of Aikido on its students and to everyone else who decides to find out about this Japanese martial art.

Some of the techniques in Aikido include the following techniques.

Ikkyo is the first technique. Using this technique, you manipulate an adversary by using one hand to hold his elbow and one to hold near the wrist. This action is supposed to allow you to pin your opponent down to the ground.

Nikyo, the second technique, is when you perform a wrist lock which allows you to turn the arm of your opponent which will in turn cause nerve pressure.

Sankyo, the third technique, is a technique that creates upward-spiraling tension throughout the arm, elbow and shoulder. There are many other techniques but the first three are enough to give you a basic insight.

When learning Aikido, it is important to keep in mind that, along with building physical strength, you will need to develop your mind to be able to overpower your adversary. Just like in any art form, it takes a great deal of practice and discipline to perfect the art of Aikido. The key thing to remember is, that anyone who wants to get into the art, must have the willpower to give honor to the art by performing it in the best way possible.

The Razor Kick Scooter Series

Owen Jones | July 9, 2010

The Razor kick scooter is the contemporary parallel of the sort of scooter that has been available for 50 years or more. In actuality, children have most likely been attaching boards to wheels ever since abandoned wheels became available. As with those archetypal scooters, the Razor kick scooter is propelled forward by foot power. That is, you put one foot on the board and push forward, or in other words kick back on the ground with the other.

This method of propulsion makes the Razor kick scooter an idyllic style of transport, training and enjoyment for children of all ages. In deed, Razor do not advocate a Razor kick scooter for the under fives unless supervised and declare in their handbook:

“Children under age eight (8) should ride with adult supervision at all times. All children and preteens should ride with adult guidance at all times”.

This seems pretty strict to me and is almost certainly an instance of over-prudence because of the litigious culture we live in. Just try suggesting to a twelve-year that you have to employ guidance on all of his or her trips!

Having said that the Razor kick scooter comes in approximately seven different guises. There is the Kiddie Kick scooter for the under fives. It is constructed of tough plastic and has a third wheel for added stability.

Then there is the ‘A’ series of Razor kick scooter: the A, A2, A3 and AW. These models are roughly equal to a child’s growth in size, competence and experience, although the maximum recommended weight for all three models of Razor kick scooter is 65 kilos or 143 lbs.

The Razor kick scooter Pro is a leap up in know-how and so has more capabilities. It can be ridden for extreme sport and will carry a rider weighing up to 100 kilos or 220 lbs.

Last, but not least, is the Cruiser Razor kick scooter. It will take 79 kilos (175 lbs of weight and has larger wheels as it is meant for relaxed cruising about. The larger wheels signify that you won’t be aware of any bumpy terrain beneath you while you are on this Razor kick scooter.

All of these Razor kick scooters share similar characteristics. All of these models of the Razor kick scooter are of very robust assembly and all but the Razor Kiddie Kick scooter are manufactured of high-grade aluminium and are built to last.

These Razor kick scooters have extendable steering rods, which means that they can be pulled up to grow with your child or can be shared by children of different sizes. They also share a tough braking system which is operated on the rear wheel, rendering them ultra-safe for operation in the vicinity of pedestrians.

A Razor kick scooter starts at about $45 and so is an inexpensive means for you to make certain that that your child gets frequent exercise, gets out from behind his computer, gets some fresh air and sunlight and learns about consideration while having fun being mobile. Apart from all these benefits, a Razor kick scooter will give your child fond memories to look back on for the rest of his or her existence.

Manic Depression

Owen Jones | June 4, 2010

Manic depression, or Bipolar Disorder, is thought to be one of the most severe types of depression that people usually suffer from. It is characterized by sudden and extreme mood swings. Manic depression is so-called because manic means ‘mania’, which refers to the ‘ups’ while depression refers to the ‘downs’. Bi-polar also refers to both ends of the spectrum of emotions

Many people experience erratic changes in their moods and, sometimes, these so-called mood swings are not just caused by PMS (pre-menstrual syndrome) or stress. Doctors have diagnosed mood swings as a frequent symptom of depression, if these mood swings become severe. For example, if someone gets annoyed because a shop does not have his favourite biscuits, it may just a sign of a spoilt childhood, but when becoming annoyed also means that that person will scream and swear at the shop keeper, it could represent the onset of Manic Depression.

The ‘manic’ periods or ‘ups’ in Manic Depression (or Bi-polar Disorder) are described as the times when a person who has Manic Depression experiences extremely high periods, exemplified by heightened energy, sudden outbursts of euphoric mood, extreme irritability, together with racing thoughts and aggressive behaviour. Therapists say that, someone suffering from Manic Depression may have these so-called manic ‘periods’ not only for a day or so, they can actually go on for as long as a week or even longer.

During these ‘low’ or ‘down’ periods, people suffering from Manic Depression may experience very similar symptoms to those who are suffering from ‘normal’ depression. People who are suffering from Manic Depression experience episodes showing a depressed state of mind – including feelings of worthlessness and being unloved.

There are various other symptoms as well: irrational guilt, extreme sadness, anxiety attacks, feeling of not belonging, severe pessimism and an obvious lack of pleasure. According to therapists, someone who is depressed constantly for more than a week can officially be diagnosed as someone who is suffering from Manic Depression.

In spite of it being one of the most common and severe sorts of depressive disorder, Manic Depression can actually be treated, according to doctors. There’s no reason to worry too much about having it, just follow the procedures that the therapist tells you and take the prescribed medication in the proper dosage in order to help you (or your friend or love one) overcome Manic Depression before it becomes too late.

Furthermore, people who suffer from Manic Depression should consult their therapists regularly, in order to be able to get rid of their repressed emotions to someone who is able interpret just what it is they are going through a lot better than an ordinary, untrained person.

Although positive results for Manic Depression can be achieved from natural alternatives, a proper and a more lasting relief from Manic Depressive symptoms can best be achieved through seeing a cognitive behaviour therapist. Contrary to some beliefs, when it comes to psychiatric treatments, psychiatrists, preferably cognitive behaviour therapists are still the best ones to consult for a lasting cure for Manic Depression.

Anger Management Technique

Rhys Jones | May 20, 2010

Dealing with anger is seldom easy, since people are always facing problems and reasons for conflict. However, our anger management technique is very important. We have to deal with price hikes, arguments, war, violence, crime, everyday common stupidity and continuous interruptions. There is not one solitary, single person in this often problematic life that has not gotten mad at some time.

Anger is a feeling that we all have to cope with. But anger comes in many forms: the root of anger is hatred, anxiety or frustration as a result of previous deception or disappointment, comes from bad anger management technique. This is true. However, true or not, even in the Bible it says that when Adam and Eve were created on Earth, the first problem was when the Devil, in the form of a snake, lied, deceiving Eve. Once that lie became known, the world started suffering many problems, including violence, murder, war, shortages, disease, weather disasters and so forth.

Since that first lie, the world has become more chaotic and continues to worsen as the years roll by. We can examine how a lie can instigate anger by looking at one individual scenario. That person engaged in criminal activities, like stealing, writing bad checks, and selling prescription medications. Now that person had to embroider lying into the picture, since she felt that her behaviour and actions were only a means of survival.

So, she started lying to cover up her crimes. As the years went by, she became angry and could not cope, solely as a result of the way she was behaving, her way of thinking, the way she was conducting her life and her poor anger management technique. She began to react like anyone else suffering from uncontrolled anger would behave.

This included, putting others down, insulting others, verbally and physically assaulting, threatening, belittling and mocking others. The woman was diagnosed with a mental disorder, Post traumatic Stress Disorder and Bipolar. She also had health issues, including diabetes. Now if we look at all the aspects of that person’s anger and her anger management technique, we can see, if we search deep enough, that her lying, which caused paranoia, was the root cause of her behavioral problems.

A lot of people have a problem with their anger management technique. Many of the people with post-traumatic stress disorder react angrily because they are reacting to a flashback in memory. That is right! People with post traumatic stress disorder often repress their emotions and when they are violent or angered, it is often the result of fighting the sources that caused their trauma and not the person in their immediate vicinity.

But, we do not see this as the reason for the woman’s fury, since she did not make the problem public knowledge. Therefore, people would not think of post traumatic stress disorder as the cause, or at least skip over the possibility of it. So, now let’s examine diabetes, since this illness has an affect on the nerves. The shortage of insulin creates other problems too, but many people with diabetes will become upset for little or no reason at all.

However, most people do not act angrily, assault, insult or attack others . If we examine why crimes are committed, we see that very often, serious behavioural problems derive from having told lies. Therefore, when we look at this woman’s situation again, we can see that we have to deal with the underlying problems that is her lying and get her to move forward, avoiding episodes of frustration, anxiety and anger by using some form of anger management technique.

Now, the person is in denial, which means that until the legal system makes her take steps in anger management technique, then she probably will not get help herself. In addition, even if the criminal justice system does force her to get help, it probably will not work, since her denial has existed for probably many years. Now we are dealing with a real anger problem, since her behaviour is life long, which means extensive therapy is needed.

Anger is an emotion, but when it interferes with another persons life, it is a serious problem. This person is not hurting only one person, she is hurting everyone, since when she steals or writes bad checks, society pays with tax increases, as well as other increases. One of the biggest problems I have noticed with this type of person, is that the system and society will allow it to continue; only addressing it when the person is caught. Once the person is released then it continues again. This is a chain of events involving lack of control due to anger mis-management and bad anger management technique.

Home Remedies For Teeth Whitening

Pauline Davies | May 10, 2010

Do you have plenty of time but are short on money to have a smile makeover? If so, a do-it-yourself teeth whitening remedy is an appropriate choice. Notice that I used the word ‘appropriate’ instead of ‘best’. Both professional teeth whitening and home remedy teeth whitening systems are available in order to achieve a beautiful smile. It is just up to the patient’s lifestyle which is the appropriate method.

There follows an appraisal of teeth whitening systems that you use in the comfort of your own home and in your own time. The cost of these home remedies is also considered. NOTE: You should consult your dentist or even your physician before using any of the following home-made teeth whitening remedies.

Can I make my own teeth whitening solution inexpensively? Well, you can save your hard-earned cash on costly teeth bleaching items! By allotting the necessary time for carrying out the recommended tips, you can ensure that you have a bright set of teeth at no extra cost. You can have a bright set of teeth with stuff that are normally already in your kitchen cabinet or medicine chest.

Do I have these things in my house? Yes, they are. All we are talking about are everyday items such as baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, cups, bowls, and spoons.

How do you create home whitening paste? To make an old-fashioned home remedy paste, combine two or three teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide with two teaspoons of baking soda together. Put the ingredients in a small bowl. The look of the paste should be that of toothpaste. For extra taste, a bit of mint or an inch of toothpaste can be combined with the home-made treatment.

How is this home-made paste used? Apply with a toothbrush and leave the mixture on your teeth for at least a couple of minutes. You should avoid swallowing the paste, but if this happens, don’t worry, just drink lots of water.

What do I do after applying the paste onto my teeth? You have to brush them again using ordinary toothpaste to get rid of the horrible taste of the hydrogen peroxide. Smokers, coffee drinkers and even grandparents may use this remedy to reduce the heavy stains on their teeth.

Can I use this paste with sensitive teeth or gums? If you have gingivitis, cavities, open sores, or other gum problems, the paste may make your gums turn pale for a short time. However, remember that you should contact a dentist or even a doctor before trying this remedy.

How frequently can I spread the paste on my teeth? Once a week. You should avoid brushing your teeth with this paste more than that.

To Sum Up, here are some facts about of do-it-yourself home-made teeth whitening systems:

The patient must be capable of performing and following the previously-mentioned steps. The patient must set aside time to perform the home whitening remedies. You need persistence because it can take more than a month before visible results are achieved. DIY remedies cost relatively less than professional teeth whitening solutions. I really hope that this article puts a brighter smile on your face!
