The two most common martial arts practiced in North America are karate and tae kwon do. Many wonder what the difference between these two martial arts is. This is especially the case for those who are just starting to look around for a martial arts studio. After all, most practitioners in both karate and tae kwon do seem to wear the same type of white gi uniforms with various colored belts.

Modern traditional karate was developed in the islands of Okinawa in Japan after some influences from Chinese martial arts. There are actually different styles of karate but they are all commonly considered as Japanese martial arts today. The colored belt system was developed to show the various ranks of karate practitioners with white depicting novices and black belts (with various degrees) representing instructor levels and higher. There is a whole range of other different colors in between. Modern tae kwon do was developed in Korea after much influence from Japanese karate during the occupation by Japan. Indeed, tae kwon do is sometimes referred to as Korean karate. The Koreans adopted similar white uniforms along with a colored belt ranking system for tae kwon do. Today, there are two main styles of tae kwon do, one under the International Tae Kwon Do Federation and the other under the World Tae Kwon Do Federation. Many tae kwon do schools have added a black lining to their white uniforms for black belt levels. A V-neck top is often seen in schools affiliated with the World Tae Kwon Do Federation. There are also older Korean styles including tang soo do and moo duk kwan. Some of the more Americanized karate and tae kwon do schools also use uniforms with other colors such as red, black and blue in addition to the traditional white.

It can be generalized that in karate, one would use their arms or hands for 60% of the time for strikes or blocks while the use of legs for kicking will be about 40%. This breakdown is seen in the many forms or katas of karate which are set routines which simulate fighting against imaginary opponents using martial arts techniques. The forms from tae kwon do would have the opposite percentage breakdown with 40% hands and 60% legs. In tae kwon do, there is also more emphasis on higher kicks to the head level than in karate. Tae kwon do practitioners also utilize more jumping or flying kicks where one is airborne while executing kicking techniques. The tae kwon do forms or patterns are generally a bit shorter and less complex than the karate forms. Some tae kwon do schools have been known to use the odd karate form in its curriculum as well.

In North America as well as other parts of the world, there are separate traditional competitions for karate and tae kwon do. However, the open martial arts tournaments in North America often have competitors from both karate and tae kwon do competing together. Some of the larger open martial arts competition events will have separate forms divisions for Japanese karate and Korean tae kwon do competitors but the fighting or sparring divisions will usually be combined. Many black belts in tae kwon do end up studying karate as well and the opposite has been true too. Tae kwon do has received more publicity in recent years since its introduction as an Olympic sport. The style and rules used for the Olympic version of tae kwon do fighting comes from the World Tae Kwon Do Federation (WTF). Both karate and tae kwon do are considered as hard style martial arts in North America today (as opposed to soft styles such as the many versions of Chinese kung fu).

When you think of treasure hunting, maybe gold coins and precious stones come to mind, but it doesn’t end there. You can start in your own attic to see what treasures you find. Then you can check out some of the more unusual ways to go treasure hunting.

Diamonds In Parking Lots

Temperature changes getting in and out of cars and buildings cause diamonds to come loose from their settings. Because of this, parking lots are one of the most common places diamondare lost. An older couple I read about became experts at telling the difference (from a distance!) between the sparkle of a diamond and bits of glass. Now they regularly take early morning walks in mall parking lots for a second income.

Desert Treasure Hunting

An old Native American we met at a hot spring in Arizona showed us how to find arrowheads and metates (used for grinding corn or mesquite beans) in the desert. They’re hundreds of years old. He sold one of his metates for $200 during a yard sale, but for non-Native Americans this may be illegal. Check with authorities on this one.

Treasure In Vacuum Cleaner Dust

In California a man took the shag carpet from an a old theater being remodeled, saving the owners the cost of disposal. During the thirties the theater was a place where the wealthy went. Like all of us, the wealthy lose things, but perhaps more valuable things.

When he cut up and carefully shook out the old carpet , he found over $2,000 worth of precious stones, rings, and coins. Then, wondering what’s caught by vaccuum cleaners, the man arranged to take the full cleaner bags from several cleaning companies each week. They save disposal costs, and he regularly finds coins and small jewelry when he digs through the dirt.

Natural Treasures

My wife and I have sold sea shells we collected from Florida beaches, giant pine cones from California, and rocks we collected all over the country. We sold them at flea markets and craft shows, as is, or made into something crafty. I once met a man who sold “burls” (unusual growths on trees) for as much as $200 each.

Treasure Hunting In The Garbage

Our city collects large junk for free during a week each spring. We see good bicycles, furniture, games, toys, chairs, and more, in front of almost every house. Several people come with trucks and trailers to pick out things to sell at flea markets or auctions. It’s a regular source of income for some of them. I’m sure this happens in other cities too.

Treasures In The River

Both kids and criminals throw things off of bridges routinely. It’s a quick way to get rid of evidence. As a child I saw bicycles in rivers several times. I read about a man that makes a living using magnets and other tools to retrieve guns, money, and other things of value from the bottom of murky rivers, near bridges.

These are just a few of the ways to go treasure hunting. Will you make much money? Maybe, but probably not. I can tell you though, that it is a thrill to hear the metal detector start beeping, even if I do only find a quarter in the sand.

Steve Gillman has been studying every aspect of money for thirty years. You can find more treasure hunting ideas, and more interesting and useful information on his website; http://www.UnusualWaysToMakeMoney.com

By far the most common misconception associated with randori is the notion that it is just club-based or friendly competition. It is not hard to see why this is so and why randori very frequently degenerates into either Uchi Komi (repetitive fitness and fluidity building), or Shiai (score orientated competition).

Let us state from the outset that the term “degenerate” should NOT be taken to mean that these practices (Uchi Komi and Shiai) are lesser pastimes, but that they are quite distinct and separate activities of their own, with their own solid merits. The closest thing to randori, in terms of say tennis or squash is the “hit up”, where two players are playing hard against each other, but NOT SCORING!! That is to say, the concept of winning and losing MUST be eradicated entirely from the mind, in order that technique can be polished, and knowledge can be converted to instinctive physical ability, or in order that one can see the effect of various tactics in a relatively full blooded contestual environment, DEVOID OF THE PRESSURE TO WIN.

We can`t help ourselves, most of us; it is after all human nature to enjoy victory, and so we find ourselves having a bit of a pull around on the mat with a friend and we execute a nice throw. Someone mutters “nice throw” and we feel quite pleased with ourselves, and the other guy mutters to himself, “dam! - how did I fall for that?” Sound familiar?

Three things have to happen for this process to evolve into randori . . .

1. Mutual Benefit - randori is the perfect opportunity to hone a strong sense of ethics and unselfish goodwill towards your comrades on the mat. Whatever you “give” in randori will be repaid many times over in good fellowship, respect, trust and perpetually improving skills.

2. After doing that aforementioned throw, we should refrain absolutely from feeling pleased with ourselves and instead, wonder what exactly allowed it to happen. If it was because of a blatant weak spot in your partners defense, then he/she should be given the opportunity to understand that, maybe you should keep doing it until the other has closed the gap and you are not pulling it off any more. Both of you will benefit enormously if this thinking pervades the exercise.

3. After being thrown, we should refrain absolutely from being disappointed at falling for it. For therein lies a GREAT OPPORTUNITY to learn something, if only our disappointment can be made to step aside for a minute and make room for objective egoless study of what happened.

If you are not quite sure what happened, it is quite in order and quite common in true randori to ask your partner to “do it again” - so that you can fall for the same trick again, and again, and again, until something reveals itself to you. If you are not prepared to fall for the same trick repeatedly, then clearly you are sliding into a Shiai mentality because you would rather stay upright and “win” than learn why you are able to be thrown or locked up by this particular partner using that particular technique.

For this reason also, do not be tempted to “referee” a randori session. One sees this a lot, two players are supposedly indulging in randori but a third player is actually refereeing and awarding points and penalties, furthering the notion that someone is going to win this bout. It isn`t a bout! The third player`s job, if indeed there is a third player, is to be an analyst, not a referee. That is to say, he/she (very often your sensei or other “higher belt”) is there to help the players with useful third party tips - “keep those elbows in!” - “keep him moving!” - “relax!” - “try the other side for a change!”

Similarly, if one is successfully executing a technique despite your best defenses, let it happen, let yourself be thrown. You failed to prevent it initially, so let it happen, let him prove his point and let yourself observe the complete process, there are no points to be lost. In doing so, your partner gets a chance to control you right to the mat and practice his “control” and kake, an opportunity that does not present itself too often in shiai, or for jujitsu practitioners, in a street self defense situation. The opponent (as against “partner”) will be doing everything in their power to disrupt control and clean kake, of course! Only in properly executed randori will these opportunities to learn present themselves and only in randori do you get a good opportunity to study your own ukemi and transition into ground work. His success is your opportunity to study, therefore, his success should be something you begin to look forward to rather than view it as your “defeat” or failure.

After being thrown, pause for a second on the mat, rather than scramble away before groundwork can commence. Eventually your partner will see the opportunity to fall straight into ne waza, practice a smooth transition and thus give BOTH of you the opportunity to study this process as well. Later, as this improves, these openings or invitations can be reduced or eliminated as both of you get better and better at these smooth and speedy transitions.

Being a good randori partner is quite an art - and applies with equal importance to both jujitsu and judo, for if done properly, presents no threat to the underlying motivators of these two closely related disciplines. Randori, done properly, will have no dilutory effect on the need of the judo player to maintain a “match” mentality, nor will it weaken the jujitsuka`s drivers to “get in quickly, finish it quickly”.

Both philosophies are “win” orientated, one for a competitive sport scenario, the other from a self defense perspective. With the “win-lose” thinking entirely removed from the equation, a randori mentality will not encroach or threaten in any way the mindset necessary to succeed in the aforementioned “contests”. Indeed, quite the opposite - for when there is a sudden and compelling need to win, emotions are running high and your well being (or that gold medal) is under threat, one cannot afford to be thinking about “technique”, there will be quite enough to worry about without the added burden of last minute technical revision. We have an opponent to study, a strategy to implement, courage to muster, emotions and “situations” to be controlled. On the competition mat, or in the street, one wants all one`s resources focused on WHAT to do, or WHEN to do it, not HOW to do it.

Contrary to popular belief, the concept of randori was not the invention of Dr Kano coincident with the development of judo. Kano did further refine and define randori principles and he introduced groundwork randori and the long sleeved judogi for safety and a wider range of new throws, but true randori was the dominant training tool of Hachinosuke Fukuda, Kano`s teacher at the Tenjin-Shinyo School of Jujitsu.

Where does this place randori in the larger training regime? Let us consider five major elements of on-the-mat training and how they fundamentally differ - or more precisely how they SHOULD differ:-

Technical instruction - obviously, before we know anything about anything we have to be taught the basics, the how-to of a technique. Most dojos do plenty of this and many teachers and coaches, including coaches of many non martial art sports may feel that unless they are providing a constant stream of technical instruction they are somehow failing to meet obligations to their students. Boxers are the least guilty of this, their emphasis is not in knowing a thousand techniques, but in doing a small number extremely well.

Uchi Komi - includes “fit-ins”, “throw for throw” and repetitive combinations, counters or escapes, or strings of hold downs. Osae Komi is principally a physical conditioner and technique builder, practised without the added burden of philosophical/cultural considerations or a resistive opponent. Modern “western” non-martial sports such as tennis and squash place great emphasis on the value of repetition of the essential “parts” of a larger technique set.

Kata - Often underrated as a training mechanism, kata in fact helps transfer intellectual knowledge into body knowledge - “learning by doing” - such that the mechanics of a technique or set of techniques and their interrelationship is understood at both a physical and intellectual level. Kata, most importantly, also serves to connect the physical to the philosophical or spiritual and cultural/ethical. “Physical meditation” some have called it - Tai Chi, Karate and Yoga students are the clear leaders in this genre of practice. As with randori, there is no concept of winning or losing in kata, nor is there any opposing pressure against proper execution, outside of the practitioners own internal barriers. It is at the opposite end of the spectrum to Osae Komi, although some katas and particularly Yoga Asanas are also extremely physically taxing.

Randori - As with kata, there is no concept of winning or losing, yet conversely, as with Uchi Komi, it is highly physical. Randori requires that there be added (measured) opposing pressure. BJJ players and wrestlers put great emphasis on a randori like training regimen or something that falls approximately between true randori and “moderated” competition.

“For real” - Testing the theory - the bit we either hope we never have to indulge in if it is self defense we are referring to, or, if sporting competition, the bit we view with either relish or trepidation, depending on what we think our chances are! For jujitsukas, self defense pressures can be emulated to some degree in the dojo with a shiai like combative sparring match under prescribed rules for safety plus “prohibited” techniques; or in the case of judo players, a standard judo tournament under IJF rules - “Shiai” in other words. Whatever the format however, most disciplines need some method by which the skills can be validated or put to the test in order that they may evolve. One could argue that martial arts grading tests do this if they are sufficiently arduous and challenging, but for many of us it might be a long time between gradings, for others it is the journey not the result and for still others, the “proof of concept” is found inescapably in improved wellness and a sense of achievement or fulfillment. There are other ways to test the theory besides competition, to be sure. I don`t see many Tai Chi tournaments out there but I do see a lot of happy healthy practitioners.

So which of the five is missing from your schedule? Chances are, its randori. “No” you retort indignantly, “we put aside time for randori every training session!”.Is it randori? - or is it Shiai? To an outside observer, there seems to be little difference, however those differences, whilst subtle, are critical.

Yellow and orange belts, ask yourselves, did you feel you “won” your randori session with the green belt? If the answer is “yes”, then you were indulging in Shiai, while the green belt was randoriing.

Blue and brown belts, did you feel you got the jump on your sensei this time? Perhaps the black belt was using you to study his own weak spots instead of working towards a win. THAT’S randori!

Euromillions virtual world direct! When was the last time you dreamed of plucking them? Lingering in the midst of your brain that some day you may experience total financial control or do you ever guess that you will never have to go to work again. Nevertheless, there are occasions when you learn about folks winning the Euro lottery and then waltzing away with a bucket load of money.

Well, that is them, for us it appears euro millions virtual world direct are in all probability the most efficient manner to collectively pick those tricky euro millions winning results. The idea exploits one simple formula and that is the more lotto tickets your syndicate buys the better your chance of scooping the jackpot. There are however those individuals that gain with only 1 lotto ticket whilst they are uncommon though a few people are able to win the lotto by purchasing one or two lotto tickets on their way home from work. Nonetheless increasingly people are joining euro millions syndicates . This method presents you with a great deal more chances to gain by buying masses of euro millions lotto tickets as possible. So then, why not become a lottery syndicate leader

To be able to be the syndicate leader and then buy the tickets you have to reside in the United Kingdom. This does not mean that it is required for you to reside in the United Kingdom to take part in the UK lottery though. All you have to do is to set up or sign-up to the smarter way to play syndicate and then have the lottery tickets bought in the UK. When the lotto draw has been made then all you have to do is tick-off your individual lotto winning numbers. Friends, colleagues and fellow workers putting their money together to purchase multiple lotto tickets - is not a novel conception! On that point many stories of factory employees and fellow workers that have hit the jackpot. Amazingly though, still when they have gained a great quantity of money with their lotto numbers, they still return to employment
as though nothing has happened.

Medical insurance frequently is not a priority when planning for a college education. In general, health insurance is the last thing on a student’s mind. In your 20’s you will believe that you are immortal so you will not suffer from any illness. Unfortunately, this is seldom the case regardless of how well an individual may appear. Reasonable medical insurance is not merely a luxury, it is truly a necessity. For those who are included in a family policy, virtually all of them should include a college student up to their 23rd birthday. For the student who does not have medical coverage through their parent’s plan, researching an appropriate student health insurance policy has to be an integral part of preparing for a further education. So what should you look for in a policy directed at students? So what’s your deductible? It is a yearly payment made before any medical benefits start kicking in, in the same vein as an auto insurance plan. For example, if the deductible is 500 dollars, five hundred dollars must be paid before getting any payment from the insurance policy.

What’s your co-pay? Once the deductible is covered, almost all medical insurance policies ask you to pay a portion of the bill of each doctor’s visit, medicine or operation. This, in a nutshell, is co-pay. Precisely what will your medical insurance pay for? Most policies include HMO and Partnership for Prescription Assistance. Essentially this means certain physicians may possibly not be in your approved medical professionals or not be included under a medical insurance policy. Most programs should provide a detailed listing of approved providers, consider this thoroughly when you select a health insurance policy designed for students.

Please take a look at our #1 website for health insurance for international students suggestions…

Catastrophic coverage: Restrictions are common in student medical insurance plans in particular as far as critical illnesses are concerned, the amount of cover extended in virtually all student medical insurance policies is generally less than a standard plan.

So what are the restrictions? Student medical insurance plans often place various limits. It is essential to read any insurance policy carefully to check exactly what may and may not be included in your insurance policy. Carry your insurance cards secure everywhere. Accidents and illnesses are not just not possible to predict, they’re also likely to come about at a bad time. Ensure you are conversant with the details of your low-cost student health plan, whether through your parent’s plan or you have your own selection of insurance.

September 11, 2001 could have been prevented. We could have stopped that International Terrorist Act had we just employed a few simple tools. If we would have simply kept our eyes and ears open and had a plan in place. Was it Bush’s fault? No, it was America’s fault. It is our fault for thinking every thing was fine and that the CIA and FBI could protect us from any one of a hundred different types of attacks. International Terrorists have so many ways to attack us.

Rumsfeld is correct when he said; “we have to be right all the time; they only have to be right once!” Yes in fact this is true, that means it is up to every American to keep their eyes and ears open and to make certain that we take up the responsibility to know our communities and neighbors. It is so ironic that every time they catch one of these International Terrorists in the United States that they live in a middle class neighborhood and have a squeaky clean record. How on Earth would anyone suspect them?

Well if you keep your eyes and ears open and pay attention it may not be as hard as you think at all. I have developed a plan that would have prevented these terrorist attacks. It is not Bush’s fault, how could it have been, I never sent in my idea. I have never even met the gentleman. My plan is a take off on the Neighborhood Watch Theme, with a special emphasis on becoming the eyes and ears of the community. Not just one community all communities. To be a mobile net-centric community watch program, which will make us strong and tight. Here is my plan: http://www.lancewinslow.org/nmwp.shtml

You see folks it is not Bush’s fault he inherited the humungous bureaucracy. It is our fault for not seeking proof that government was protecting us. We all assumed; you and I and everyone, that we were being protected. Yet in reality that is a totally false assumption how on Earth can you protect against International Terrorism? You can’t. You need human intel on the ground, everywhere all the time. If we had such a thing in place like this Mobile Neighborhood Watch Program before 9-11 then we surely would have caught the bad guys, because everyone would have been heads up about the real problems and vulnerabilities we have in a free society. We now know and we are watching and chances are we will keep catching the bad guys because we are diligent in our efforts to keep a look out. The authorities are too, but they cannot be everywhere all the time. That’s where you can come in and set up a neighborhood mobile watch program in your community today. Think on this.

Soaring through the air, watching the clouds and the birds fly by. No, you are not flying your own private plane, but you are doing the next best thing. You are flying an RC airplane through the sky. With a little practice, you can even have your airplane doing acrobatics, and you thought you would never be a pilot!

Flying RC or radio controlled airplanes is an excellent hobby, and it can be a lot of fun. RC airplanes are perfect as a father and son activity. Bring the family together with some airtime and share the joy of flight. If you want to get started in the RC airplane hobby, you do not need to be intimidated, with recent advancements in electronics; getting started in RC airplanes is easier than ever before.

What types of RC airplanes are there?

There is so much more than just airplanes in the RC aircraft world. No matter what type of aircraft interests you, there is something available for you. Some of the most common types of kits and models that you can purchase are:

1) Airplanes
2) Jets
3) Gliders
4) Helicopters
5) Blimps
6) UFO’s

In addition, of course, within all of these categories, there are a number of different styles. You can get simulations of most real airplanes and jets in the world. Whether you want to fly and old-fashioned bi-level plane or a modern jet. You will be able to find a ready to run kit or model kit that is perfect for you!

Can anyone Fly RC Airplanes?

RC airplanes are easy to operate and with a little practice, anyone can soon be an expert. You can choose from electric airplanes or gas powered. Typically, electric airplanes are the easier models to fly. With the advances in electronics over the last few years, the receivers in the planes are getting smaller and smaller, and lighter and lighter. This means that the airplanes are easier to manage, especially for new pilots.

When you are looking for airplanes that will be easy to manage, you should look for a model with a high wing. Airplanes with a high wing design provide much more stability. You may want to start out with an electric RC airplane and progress to a gas powered model, as the gas models are typically harder to handle and require quite a bit more experience.

Do I have to Build my Own RC Plane?

You have a few choices when you are starting out in the RC airplane hobby. You do not have to build your own plane; you have the option of purchasing a ready to fly or rtf kit. This is probably the easiest choice because everything you need will come ready in the box. All you need to do is do the final assembly and you are ready to be airborne.

You can also choose a kit that is almost ready to fly or arf. These kits typically only require minimal assembly. Often with this type of kit, you may need only to add the final paint job and the decals to be ready to go. You can buy almost ready to fly kits in a variety of finishing stages.

You always have the option of course to build your own RC airplane from scratch of course. There are endless kit options available if you are interested in this type of undertaking. The typical make it from scratch kit is made from balsa wood. You can use easy to follow instructions that will take you systematically through the entire process. This is obviously much harder and requires quite a bit more work, however for the experienced hobbyist, the rewards and self-satisfaction from creating your own model airplane can be extremely rewarding.

When you build your own RC airplane, you will definitely have a lot more work ahead of you. And these planes can be more difficult to fly. Often times they are touchier to steer and move and they require a lot more finesse. If you have a crash with your built from scratch RC plane, you will have to rebuild the part by hand. If you have an rtf or an arf RC airplane than you can simply purchase the replacement parts and have a quality part, instead of an inadequate repair job.

Your Final Choice

No matter what your final decision is regarding the type of RC airplane you decide to buy, you will be able to have hours of enjoyment learning to fly your aircraft. There are RC airplane clubs all over the country, and many of these clubs have their own airstrips. Whether you chose to be part of the larger RC airplane community, or enjoy your hobby alone or with a friend, RC aircraft flying can be extremely satisfying.

I need to admit that the title of this piece is meant to raise a few eyebrows. After all, is there really a “right” version of online poker? The purists out there will believe that a true poker game has to abide by the same rules that it was played by a hundred years ago and played at the casino. I would like to suggest an alternative. I think we should embrace all forms of poker equally, even the kind where you just press buttons.

Online poker actually has a few good points that may even give it the lead over traditional poker. You can play it anywhere, at any time, and under any circumstances. The main perk of online poker, however, is the fact that it can continually adapt to changes in the poker culture. When new things come into trend, you can access them immediately through an online game.

In conclusions, online poker is actually more than poker. You can think of it as “super” poker if would like. I definitely do. Online poker is the future of the game, in so many ways it is the only applicable form of poker. Online poker is real poker, and anyone who disagrees needs to spend some more time at the computer.
