No class tomorrow night - Valentine's Day - 2/14/2008. I have a hot date with my wife. So, stay home and practice marital arts instead of martial arts. Be a lover - not a fighter. Give peace a chance and I'll see y'all at the next class.

I found a new site about martial arts called close combat training. Captain Chris Pizzo, a guy who spent his life spreading the significance of martial arts and how it helped him after being in a road rage that nearly cost him his life. Since then, he has been advocating about this program to help people to appreciate his program that he started to share his knowledge. You too can avail of this award winning program by visiting his site.Having a background with martial arts does not guarantee safety to any type of combat or brawl but it sure does help if you have a move or two to use if ever something unexpected comes up. If I were you, I would only go to the World Leader In Self Defense so that its going to be the safest and the most proper way possible.The truth about martial arts is not very well known since the origin of the art came from the time the chinese then spread all over the continent then into the world.

Some travelers visit Bali simply to buy paintings. They hop off the plane, catch a taxi to Ubud, acquaint themselves with the going prices, and then begin the buying spree.
Balinese paintings are known for their vibrant colors, iconography, stylized figures and ornate backgrounds, and are almost certainly derived from the Wayang Kulit or shadow puppet theatre. The similarities between

Terell Stafford - tp, flhGary Versace - p, accDennis Irwin - b, clMatt Wilson - d (myspace | website)A few days ago, Jeff Albert wrote a quasi-love letter to Matt Wilson. After seeing Arts & Crafts last night, I feel like doing the same. Here's what it might look like:Dear Matt, I love you. I know that might sound a little forward - after all, you don't even know me - but let me explain.Let's face it: in 2007, straight-ahead jazz be boring. It is too often, if anything, the sound of constraint, or of missed opportunities. But when you guys started the concert with Monk's "We See," all I could think was how it was bursting with life! With happiness! It was real. It swung in a natural yet unsystematic way. Like kids in a playground, there was a sense of freedom to it. And then your "Free Range Chicken" reminded me of Jimmy Giuffre's cowboy songs on The Western Suite.Terell was bouncy and impassioned, Gary gave things a soulful bent. Dennis even played some musette-style
Perhaps the most important element of a martial arts school is the head instructor (referred to as a sensei). Most people want a talented martial arts instructor who is a great teacher, actively involved in the student's progress, and is someone who the student can respect. At Castle Rock Aikido, we couldn't agree more. We are honored to have two head instructors, a husband and wife team, who have trained for years in Japan with some of the most respected Aikido instructors. Today we will feature Jeff Albright, our head Aikido instructor.About Dr. Jeff Albright"Sensei" Jeff Albright has been practicing martial arts for over 20 years. He presently holds a 3rd degree black belt in Aikido. Dr. Albright also holds black belts in Karate and Iaido (a.k.a. Samurai sword); and he holds teaching certificates in various other marital art styles.Jeff has taught classes at well-known Aikido schools in Nagasaki, Japan and instructed officers and personnel for the Japanese Self-Defense Forces.

Castle Rock's newest martial arts school will put its students on the defensive. Aikido has no punching or kicking. The point is to deflect an attack without harming the attacker.Jeff and Miho Albright opened the Castle Rock Aikido March 25th with a free class and demonstration. The couple is subleasing space from Omega Gymnastics for their school or dojo. Unlike other martial arts, aikido is practiced on a springboard floor."Aikido is particularly aerobic," said Sean Hannon, a student and marketing director of the Castle Rock Aikido. "You're up and down a lot."The springboard floor cushions falls.Aikido, literally translated, means "the way of harmonious spirit," according to the Castle Rock Aikido Club. Aikido students defend themselves by moving in the same direction as an attacker while applying pressure to vulnerable joints to establish control. Police officers use the same technique to subdue suspects.Beginning aikido students learn how to fall in a safe manner and how to follow
There's something strange going on in Castle Rock. Residents over fifty years old are beginning to practice a Japanese martial art called Aikido (pronounced 'eye-key-doh').Aikido isn't exclusively for men and women over fifty, but Aikido does seem to have an affinity for that age group. "I think it is because Aikido is a great form of exercise and a powerful form of self-defense, but still allows you to go to work on each morning without being covered in bruises and broken bones," says instructor Jeff Albright.Husband and wife instructors Jeff and Miho Albright don't seem surprised that their Aikido program is attracting people over fifty. "We have a tendency to attract more a intellectual, mature and introspective student, which may come with age, I suppose" he continued. "Our students really are here to become better people. It makes it a pleasure to teach them and we learn so much from them, as well." According to the instructors, there are no young, "hot-heads" with a chip on their

What is mixed martial arts? Well this one is very broad topic considering its name "mixed" means mixture of all martial art and that would be a lot. By definition “Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a combat sport in which a wide variety of fighting techniques are used, including striking and grappling. Modern mixed martial arts emerged in 1985 with Satoru Sayama's creation of the Shooto league, followed by Pancrase and the Ultimate Fighting Championships in 1993. The history of the modern sport can be traced to the Gracie family's vale tudo martial arts tournaments in Brazil starting in the 1920s, and early mixed martial arts matches hosted by Antonio Inoki in Japan in the 1970s. The sport gained international exposure and widespread publicity in the United States in 1993, when Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighter Royce Gracie dominated the Ultimate Fighting Championship, sparking a revolution in Western martial arts,[1] while in Japan the continued interest in the sport resulted in 1997's cr

This is a ‘water-colour’ picture produced by the photo art effect.
A picture says a thousand words. A picture can inspire. A picture can motivate. A picture can bring so much inspiration and motivation to our life. For a home that is dull, surrounded by flats and all walls, a picture is the only thing that can brighten up your day. For anyone who loves art, a beautiful piece of art can make you lost in its world.
To paint a picture takes a long time and it can be tedious and messy. You need artistic skills and creativity to paint a nice picture. You also need to buy paints, brushes and invest your time to produce a good piece of art. Sometimes a piece of artwork takes days to complete. After you had finished up your masterpiece, you need to take time to clear up the mess in your working area. All these are indeed time consuming. However, nowadays, you can produce instant art pieces from your computer.
This is the before and after of the photo effect I had don
