The liver is an amazing organ that monitors all the blood and chemicals. As we know it today, the liver has well over 500 known functions and is believed to have well over 2500 functions. Here is a partial list of the things the liver does: •It filters the blood; •Purifies and clears waste products, toxins and drugs; •Regulates and secretes substances that are important in maintaining your body’s functions and health; •Restores important nutrients like glycogen (glucose), vitamins and minerals; •Metabolizes fats, proteins and carbohydrates.<

Kata must be the foundation of karate training. It allows one to share a pool of knowledge which the greatest karate-ka of the past, and present, have used to study the Way. The kanji (Chinese character) for kata can be interpreted as a pictograph representing a bamboo lattice window. Sunlight can shine through such a window leaving a pattern which is defined by not only light but also the presence of shade. This “Yin-Yang” essence in kata is noted in such opposites as fast/slow, hard/soft & still/movement. For example, at the end of given combination in kata one should pause before moving to the next direction to create zanshin and a Yin/Yang event (i.e. often kata are rushed, and practitioners do not pause long enough before changing directions – the pause creates the moment and contrast to movement and speed). In my time in Japan a number of older masters (including master Sotokawa 8th Dan Shito-ryu, Master Uetake 7th Dan Shito-ryu, Matser Iba, 8th Dan Shito-ryu) would emphasize a slow count of 1-2-3 before changing to the next direction, or set of moves.
Each kata represents an archived library of self defense techniques. Often the application of each motion within kata is not well understood within many Japanese karate dojos unless the effort has been made to dive into the Okinawan and Chinese roots. One should aim to understand and practice at least one bunkai motion for each action in a kata (probably no one can know all and be proficient in all bunkai variants). Most of the original applications do not involve the basic kicks and punches which are often given as an interpretation, but rather grabs, breaks, pressure points and close in fighting. The elaborate nature of these actions (symbolized by individual
If you are allergic to chlorine then you suffer from Allergies Type 4 is also called cell-mediated or delayed allergies. See my article on allergies type 4 for a detailed description of the allergy type 4. The most common symptom is an itchy rash under the armpits and in the groin area.Scientists consider chlorine one of the most toxic elements found in nature and yet the number of people allergic to chlorine is extremely small. Eye irritation, dry skin, coughing, sneezing, stuffy or itchy nose may be symptoms of an intolerance to chlorine instead of a true allergy

We diabetics have to take special care of our feet, or we can find them troubled in two ways: reduced blood circulation and nerve damage.Here's what to look for and some prevention ideas.Symptom:If your feet are constantly cold, your legs are sore when you walk, or your feet hurt in bed at night, you may be suffering from poor blood circulation. This, in turn, can slow down the process of healing when you have cuts or other damage to your feet.Prevention:Staying physically active is one way to help improve your circulati

I once had a client who came to me desperately seeking advice on how he could improve his business, as he was having acute staffing problems and was working incredibly long hours to keep the business afloat.What I told him in our first session shocked him; it was basically this:“You don’t have a business, you have a job.”This is the trap that so many business owners fall into – they mistakenly believe that because they are the “owner,” somehow they truly own the business. WRONG!Merely owning and running a business does not you mean that you’re a b

While visiting Pigeon Forge, you must make a trip to the Smoky Mountains National Park. As the most visited national park in America, the Smokies receive over 9 million visitors a year. There is so much to do and see in the park including overlooks that give you a view of the beautiful mountain ranges, hiking trails, camping, fishing, historic sites and wildlife. There are five different forest types throughout the Smoky Mountains and over 4,000 plant species. Some sections of the park are actually classified as rain forests. The park totals over 500,000 acres in size.
Kata demands techniques executed with precision and power. It trains the body to strike from different stances and different orientations, as is always the case in kumite. Kata trains one to move quickly, to use precise and stable stances for the execution of solid techniques. Without this ability one will be unable to control an opponent during battle. Furthermore, if one cannot execute precise and powerful technique in kata, it will definitely not happen in the heat and chaos of kumite.
Visualization of the opponent for each move is one method of kata development that can be done as a drill. It helps bring a kata to life accentuating "kime", "penetration" and "zanshin". This is one of many training approaches to develop kata, however one must always remember that when kata is performed in a non-training sense (i.e. its final form) it should embrace “Mushin”. “Mushin”, a high goal of all martial artists, allows the mind to be open to all possibilities in the fighting engagement with no hesitation, or change of thought pattern prior to execution.
