Set your goals and stick with them. If you can get through the first
month, the rest is easy.
| Malele's Music |
 |
|
If you've seen any of the videos on the Warrior Pages, then
you've heard Malele Nzeza's music. In addition to being a
fourth degree black belt in Shuri Ryu Karate, Malele's an
outstanding composer and musician. He's also a good friend and
allowed me to use his music to enhance the videos, many of
which he is featured in.

| Training Tip (Shower Kata) |
|
|
Too often, while learning a new form, we waste valuable
floor time relearning the basic form. Instead, practice the
form at least once a day. This can be done anywhere (yes,
including the shower). Just practice the form with abbreviated
movements and stances. Running it in your head can be just as,
if not more, effective. This way, your time in the dojo will
be better spent improving your technique and working the kata
as it was intended, rather than just relearning what you've
already been taught.

| TAO TEH CHING, Chapter 66 |
|
|
HOW does the sea become the king of all streams?
Because it lies lower than they!
Hence it is the king
of all streams.
Therefore, the Sage reigns over the people by humbling
himself in speech;
And leads the people by putting himself
behind.
Thus it is that when a Sage stands above the people, they
do not feel the heaviness of his weight;
And when he stands
in front of the people, they do not feel hurt.
Therefore
all the world is glad to push him forward without getting
tired of him.
Just because he strives with nobody,
Nobody can ever
strive with him.

Like many of you, the holidays kept us busy here at the
Warrior Pages, so not a lot of new substance. There have been
some formatting improvements, they look great on our screens,
but please let us know if they cause any difficulties on your
computers.
The forum continues to heat up. Lots of good discussions.
Check it out, here's an example of a post under "Striking
Arts":
"In theory the fist has more potential to cause damage by
the fact that the knuckles are hard and small. However, this
cuts both ways and means you can easily end up worse by
hitting the face at the wrong angle.
Agree with the
above posts that punches are best directed to the soft areas
of the body eg solar plexus, attacking the bicep etc.
I
also think another advantage of the open hand is that the
relaxation you get by not clenching the fist means you can
deliver the strike faster." Visit the forum....
