Black Belt Spiritual Training Exercises

 

The Shidoshi, or Founder of our dojo, seemed to be preparing everyone, young and older for the moment in life he had already reached, the time when we’d begin to age. At that time, the physical aspect of Chinese Kenpo Karate had to morph into the spiritual.

“Your body will grow older,” he pointed out. “What do you do, then? What will be your source of power?”

Like a multiple choice quiz, there were three possible replies. We could achieve effectiveness by:

(1) Restoring physical prowess; (2) Increasing mental acuity; or (3) By developing and drawing upon spiritual power.

His choice was (3), noting that spiritual power is “Unlimited.”

I can’t share all of his teachings, nor would I want to, or be permitted to, but I would like to explore and build upon a select few.

In this article, we’re going to talk about one way to build spiritual power, which transmuted properly into the physical, will make us potentially more effective than when we we thought of ourselves as peak physical specimens.

The Power of Postulation

Wikipedia offers this basic definition of postulation, which I’ll apply to the martial arts:

“In traditional logic an axiom or postulate is a proposition that is not proved or demonstrated but considered to be either self-evident or subject to necessary decision. Therefore, its truth is taken for granted, and serves as a starting point for deducing and inferring other (theory dependent) truths.”

When we postulate, we DECIDE to be strong. Instead of looking in the mirror and taking our cue from what we may see, superficially; graying hair, wrinkles, and a loss of muscle tone, signifying aging, we should decide that image isn’t us.

We replace it with a portrait of vitality, we see the youth and vital energy still present, that can achieve anything we call upon the body to achieve. Aging, from the standpoint of postulation, is also a DECISION.

Succumbing to a societal expectation that by 40, 50, 60, 70, or 80 we are inherently weak, we disable ourselves, expecting and even producing aches and pains and disabilities.

“I’d better slow down,” I’ve heard the voice in my head whipering as I jog or train with weights. That warning springs from the wrong postulate, one that expects, and therefore prompts, decline.

If you look at the positve-mental-attitude and self-help literature, you’ll see reflections of the concept, nearly everywhere, simply not applied to the martial arts.

Several authors call postulating the “Act as if” principle. Want success? Act as if you already are successful. Want strength, speed, balance, power?

“To he who already has, more will be given,” says the Bible. Believe you are weakening, and what strengths you have will be taken away.

Every martial art boasts examples of elders who seem to never break down the way others do, physically. Perhaps physical vitality has been a birthright, bestowed by good genes.

I think it’s more probable that these icons of iron have hardened themselves from inside, forged from a spiritual furnace.

“If you believe it, you can achieve it.” That principle helped you to earn your martial arts rank.

You simply stopped believing.

Maxi Weighted Vest : The Brand For You

The significant improvement of the concept of

weighted vest over traditional weight training is that it distributes the mass of weight over areas on your body which can be easily supported. A proper distribution of weight through a weighted vest reduces the possibility of any muscle or tendon strain which is common in ankle or wrist weight trainings. The new concept of weighted vests apply weight uniformly over your body. They can be hidden under clothes while you go for a walk or do other daily routine in your home to burn the extra calories of your body. One can use a vest for all types of workouts. Even if necessary one can use a weighted vest while performing some work in home like using a tiller to cut grasses or while working in the backyard.

 If you wish to get good results of your walking regimes then buy a good Maxivest. It is necessary to buy a branded or a good quality walking vest to avoid any sort of complication. Whether you are an athlete or a common man, you can improve your body muscles and fitness to great extent provided you use a weighted walking vest. The market is flooded with walk vests from different brands but few of them can offer you what you deserve. One such brand is called

Maxivest.

 A perfect weighted walk vest on your torso fastens development of muscles, burning of fats and changing fat layered mass into muscles. You get all benefits of workouts if you wear a weight vest while morning jog or walk without much effort. It is very important to put the right kind of vests for your workouts.

 The very first quality of a Maxivest is that it must be safe. Some people are concerned of injury of their back or abdominal parts while using vests. The perfect vest should be appropriate in weight to your requirement. Buy a vest from Maxivest and keep yourself safe.

 Maxivest has all the qualities that an ideal Walking vest should have. It is a lightweight vest with perfect provision for weight increase and decrease. The size of the vest fits your body very well and there is no discomfort while you walk. Maxivest weighted walk vest fits perfectly and securely around your chest and body. It does not restrict movement. If you are woman always look for a vest which is made for woman and this brand manufactures vests for women and children too.

 Once you have the right brand of weighted vest, the next thing to take care is that you start cautiously. Just remember you start slow and steady when you start using weight vests. Try to make a balance of your body weight and your movements. Never forget to consult a health professional or a doctor if there is a complication or some kind of pain in your stomach or other areas of your body.

Accerlation problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Hi my yamaha jog r is having trouble getting up to 30mph it will go but it sounds bogged down, trust me everything has been checked! and also by proffesionals who cant find anything. Basically when you pull back the throttle it doesent have any power, I know its only 50cc but when I hit 30mph or over and pull back the throttle it has the power and makes a louder noise.

The Following has been done-

- New standard rollers
- cyclinder Compression check
- Carberatur stripped and cleaned X 2
- New spark plug fitted and tested
- New spark plug cap
- New air filter
- Carb adjusted
- Drive belt checked and all transmission components
- Replaced reed valve + gasket

So basically im stuck, the problem is still here and I cant figure out what needs to be done (all work was carried out by west london yamaha, so its good)

Always give year, make, engine size and model # when asking questions. We need all of that info to give an informed answer.
Sometimes the year can make a difference.
The mileage is also necessary when diagnosing running problems.

A clogged exhaust pipe can produce those symptoms – remove the pipe and blow into the muffler.
There should be no resistance.

2 stroke engines can give false compression readings – remove the top end and check the clearance specifications.
A Jog doesn’t produce much compression when the top end is brand new – a small drop in compression will lower the engine’s power output considerably.
