comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday october 2 2012 cute hippie chick of the month lonely girl edition well well good news for all the lonely dojo rats out there thousands of single chinese girls might like to meet you apparantly the cut off line for nubile hot chicks in china is 27 what a shame at that age the pressures to marry are huge here s part of an article from http www rawstory com rs 2012 07 19 chinas unwanted single women feel the pressure xu a pretty woman in her 30s warily walked into a beijing singles club in a bid to shed her status as one of china s unwanted i hope to find a husband she said as she sat in front of a mahjong table and awaited her date for the evening who had been hand picked for her by the club based on their profiles snip xu who did not want to be identified is one of china s so called sheng nu the term which translates to the unwanted is derived from a phenomenon in chinese society which affects hundreds of thousands of women particularly the urban educated and financially independent the term which is unique to china and which only applies to women appears in china s official dictionary and refers to all single woman above the age of 27 snip on one hand young people today work very hard and have few places to meet outside of their work which wasn t the case earlier wu di a sociologist who has just published a book on the subject told afp on the other hand traditionally the chinese say one should make do when marrying marriage has never been synonymous with happiness the new generation of women don t want to make do many live quite well alone and don t see the point in lowering their standard or life in order to marry still the pressure on women is huge part of this is due to china s one child population control policy which adds to the desperation of parents for their only offspring to marry and produce a grandson or granddaughter the real reason for coming to this club is that i don t want to disappoint my parents i want to make them happy admitted xu snip shelly 34 a highly educated public relations consultant who had just returned from living in the united states was among the new members since her return to china she had avoided her relatives and even some of her close friends because of their insistence in trying to arrange dates for her i m under pressure from all sides i feel my mother is disappointed and sad when she sees the grandchildren of her friends she said but with no potential partner on the horizon shelly is preparing to return to the united states to do a second masters degree a decision partly motivated by her desire to escape her colleagues parents and friends i think i will return to china when i am 40 i want right now to be so old so broken that they will leave me in peace she said ok all you lonely dojo rats get busy posted by dojo rat at 1 53 pm 27 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday september 19 2012 guest post kostas at the dog brothers euro gathering kostas and friends this week i m pleased to present a guest post from kostas tountas in greece kostas and i have become fellow dojo rats and exchanged much information over the years as you will see his specialty is training and fighting at events hosted by the famous dog brothers fighting club while the training is intense the fighting is brutal and as real as it gets traditional weapons of all sorts are used and the painful results can be seen in the photos below i ve got to give kostas some major cred here he s my age 53 and still fights in the most brutal martial sport i can imagine as he describes the friendships acquired during these sessions are as long lasting as the valuable fighting lessons learned this is simply great stuff here s kostas those of you who have been following this blog for a while may recall a post entitled kostas fights at dog brothers euro gathering in the three years since i have returned to bern faithfully each summer to be with my brothers of the stick with whom i share the same madness we greet each other warmly catching up on news and discussing whether there will be any unusual weapons in this year s fights indeed a dog brothers gathering is not just about stick fighting it s also about three section staffs spears halberds edges and points blunted etc furthermore it s not just about stand up many fights end up on the ground and yours truly has been there on several occasions a fight at a gathering is also about learning to deal with pressure as soon as we tap sticks i can feel that one wrong move and my opponent will not simply come at me he will try to go right through me several fighters come prepared with specific strategies and techniques that they want to test under realistic conditions the fact that there are no winners or losers encourages people to experiment but at the same time they know they can t afford to get let their guard down for example one member of the dog brothers tribe is an expert with the three section staff travelling regularly to china to train with his master the gathering provides him with the opportunities he requires in order to further his skills but at the same time one not so obvious benefit is that by helping prepare this fighter guro marc crafty dog denny gained new insights into a less well known weapon and in so doing expanded his own area of expertise and that of the tribe as well so the gathering serves as sort of fight laboratory for both coaches and fighters alike in which various strategies and techniques are pressure tested and fine tuned till they are practical and effective as for myself in four gatherings i have had fourteen fights i am now a candidate dog brother though this is not so remarkable it hasn t been easy at 53 years of age training injuries are more frequent and take longer to heal there have been and there may yet be times when i think to myself that this will be my last gathering in this i am not alone one fighter was so known for this that he was given the name sinatra dog in memory of the famous singer who near the end of his career became known for his numerous last performances but the fact is that when preparing for a gathering i feel motivated the realization that i must be on the ball or i am going to get my ass handed to me has re invigorated my training i still have much to learn and some things i need to re learn but that s the beauty of it that after many years of martial arts i still feel excited about getting in there and being a part of it i hope to be there next year to see my brothers to fight well and then to return home with colorful bruises and a big big smile on my face thanks kostas posted by dojo rat at 12 25

elite athletes i think many of us have been in the zone where a perfect technique is in play at the exact right time the following article from discovery c om attempts to put it in scientific terms but something is lacking what is lacking is a realization of separate realities which may occur during times of stress mystical experiences or in athletics there is something a deceased friend who appeared in a dream told me all time happens at the same time it will give me something to ponder for the rest of my life and possibly beyond from discovery com does time slow down for elite athletes analysis by sheila eldred sat sep 8 2012 how does venus williams return smashing serves how does josh hamilton hit home runs off 90 mile per hour pitches it s not just talent preparing to leap over a hurdle or dunk a basketball makes the brain process information differently the athlete perceives it as a slowing down of time say researchers at university college london after a new study john mcenroe has reported that he feels time slows down as he is about to hit the ball and f1 drivers report something very similar when overtaking dr nobuhiro hagura from university college london s institute of cognitive neuroscience told bbc news our guess is that during the motor preparation visual information processing in the brain is enhanced so maybe the amount of information coming in is increased that makes time be perceived longer and slower the researchers tested the theory by asking subjects to react to flashing discs on a screen in two different ways either to tap the screen or just watch the group that tapped the screen reported that there seemed to be more time between the flashes and the more prepared the participants were the longer the time seemed to stretch that last finding leads the researchers to postulate that elite athletes may have a greater capacity to experience the perception than the general population future experiments may include professional athletes as well as an experiment to find the physiological mechanism that makes the phenomenon happen we now want to do these behavior experiments again while measuring the participants brain activity with electroencephalography hagura told bbc news we can then look at what is happening in the visual cortex during the action preparation period posted by dojo rat at 8 08 am 8 comments email this blogthis
