WTF Recruiting Foreigners (The_Dojang) --__--__-- Message: 1 Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2007 14:05:42 -0800 (PST) From: Jye nigma To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] deep breathing article part III Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Breathing Posture v. Texture When you breathe with your abdomen, you create a center; when you have a center, you are more confident and coordinated; when you have confidence, you have much more potential and are not afraid of challenges. In effect, you are bringing back the potential that God gave you. You are not afraid anymore. And this potential can be put to use in many arenas, from music to ballet, calligraphy to equestrian sports, archery to cycling. "Once you learn it, you can apply it to anything," says Zi. Working with the breath for even brief periods each day can bring a new sense of internal balance, says Dennis Lewis. "You don't have to work with the breath all the time, day in and day out. He recommends starting out by spending "20 or 30 minutes a day sensing and observing your breath." His Ten Secrets of Authentic Breathing is worth printing out and keeping handy for quick reference. In her book and video set, Zi takes the student through 24 exercises comprising six lessons. "Give it 30 days and you'll have it," she maintains. She suggests doing about four exercises per lesson, devoting about 10 minutes to each lesson. Do each exercise three times for three days; then go to Lesson 2 and add the new ones, reviewing previous ones as needed. Even people recovering from surgery or in wheelchairs can adapt these exercises to their needs. When you can learn to follow the breath to your center, to your core, and open the lotus blossom, "Your thought goes there and you quiet down. Otherwise your mind will be flitting and fluttering. It's a bringing together of the breath, and then you can bring together your thoughts, and everything becomes not that drastically important. "Your new car, the new dress are not that important anymore when you look into yourself and follow your mind to the center. It's really what meditation is about." "Many times, however, people try to do it the reverse way: "You try to meditate, and then you breathe better; whereas if you learn to breathe first and then you do everything else, it's much, much easier." Remember, you are breathing right now. Every day, you have 20,000 opportunities to transform how you breathe and enhance your health and well-being. --------------------------------- Need a quick answer?

What I was trying to elucidate without giving it away (eg get you to come to the conclusion), is that it is not the method of entry the air takes but how it enters. Which has more to do with breathing deeply and slowly (which is what most people typically do when breathing through their nose versus the mouth). So if you were to concentrate on taking the exact same slow deep breaths through your mouth as you do your nose then you will have absolutely no difference in your ability to absorb and use the oxygen or to center yourself etc etc. --__--__-- Message: 3 Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2007 14:44:55 -0800 (PST) From: KATHY KELLY To: Dojang Digest Subject: [The_Dojang] Dr. Kimm in Jackson Mississippi Jan. 20th Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net I for one took for granted that GM Han would be with us in the world of Hapkido for a few more years and miss my only opportunity to train with him 2 years ago. I will not make that mistake again and look forward to seeing everyone in Jackson on January 20th for Dr. Kimm's Yudo Seminar.

Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2007 16:46:44 -0600 Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net If your mouth is open, your jaw joint will be slammed into the base of your skull with more force than if your mouth is shut. A few interesting articles: http://www.helmets.org/astmdocs/williams.htm http://www.tkdtutor.com/11Training/Knockouts/Knockouts01.htm I had also been told that their is a nerve plexus behind the jaw joint that triggers the KO if slammed, but I can find no references to this at this time.

The president of the WTF, Choue Chung-won, held a press conference on January 10 at the WTF office in Samsung-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul and said, "To nurture the WTF as an internationally-renowned sports body, we will expand participation of foreign members who are recommended by Member National Associations." Right now, among 17 staff members of the secretariat of the WTF, Jerry Ling from Singapore is the only foreigner. WTF also plans to send Jean-Marie Ayer as the WTF attache to its Lausanne WTF Office and add more foreigners there. The office opened last December. Meanwhile, the WTF accepted the resignation of Secretary General Moon Dong-hoo on January 8 and the body also announced Deputy Secretary for refereeing Yim Yoon-tack stepped down to take early retirement. Deputy Secretary for Marketing and Promotion, Kim Se-hwan resigned too. --__--__-- _______________________________________________ The_Dojang mailing list The_Dojang@martialartsresource.net http://martialartsresource.net/mailman/listinfo/the_dojang http://the-dojang.net Old digest issues @ ftp://ftp.martialartsresource.com/pub/the_dojang Copyright 1994-2007: Ray Terry and http://MartialArtsResource.com Standard disclaimers apply.
