Judo Tournaments and Technique

Kansetsu-waza are the twists, bends, or locks applied on the elbow joint only in judo. They are very useful in judo tournaments. Some of these are outlined in this article.

1. Hiza-gatame (knee-elbow lock)
To produce a positive effect in locking, bending, or twisting your opponent's elbow joint, it is necessary to break his posture to prevent him from using the force of his waist and abdominal region before you apply the lock.

Let us study the technique of hiza-gatame. You are lying on your back with the body of your opponent set between your legs. When he extends his right arm carelessly toward your chest, you quickly grasp the wrist tightly under your left armpit. At the same time you break his posture by pushing back his left thigh with your right foot while pulling his left lapel with your right hand.

Now with your left knee press his right elbow joint from the outside while bending your body upward. He must give a signal for defeat because of the intense pressure on his elbow joint.

Therefore you can create extreme pain in your opponent's right elbow joint. Also, pressing down on the elbow joint with your left knee, will result in an even more unbearable pressure.

KEY POINTS:
a. Hold your opponent's right wrist firmly under your left armpit; otherwise, he may escape by pulling it away.
b. Push away at his left hip with your right foot in order to break his posture. He will then be unable to use the defensive power of his waist and abdominal region.

2. Juji-gatame (cross armlock)

This technique locks the opponent in the form of a cross and is a good lock to use in judo tournaments. His upper arm is locked between your thighs, and pressure is applied upward against his elbow joint. As your opponent lies on his back, you sit at his right side. When he carelessly extends his right arm toward your chest, you quickly grasp the arm and hold it in your arms. Now you turn your body to the right to sit at the right side of his right shoulder.

At the same time place your left leg over his neck and face to prevent him from rising. Your right leg is planted against his right side. While pinning his upper arm tightly between your thighs, you press it against your abdomen. Now pull his wrist with your hands so that the little-finger edge is pressed against your chest. At the same time raise your abdomen and place pressure against his elbow joint for the completion of the lock.

KEY POINTS:
a. You must pull your opponent's right hand so that his little finger will touch your chest. Thus the inside of his arm is turned up.
b. Push your hips as close as possible to his shoulder for leverage support.
c. With the lower part of your left leg, pull his head against your hips to prevent him from raising his body.
d. Pin his upper arm by pressing your knees together.
e. Apply the final pressure by raising your abdomen.

3. Ude-garami (entangled armlock)

In the above-described techniques you reverse the natural bend of your opponent's elbow joint. In ude-garami, however, you twist to apply pressure on your opponent. He lies on his back, and you sit at his right side. If he carelessly extends his right arm, you quickly grasp the wrist with your right hand.

Then you lean across his chest, bringing your left hand under his right arm and up to grasp your own right arm-left wrist on top. If you lift up his right elbow a little with your left forearm while pushing down his right wrist with your right hand, you will exert enough pressure on his elbow joint to bring about his submission.

KEY POINTS:
a. Lift your opponent's elbow and push down on his right wrist as he is lying on his back.
b. Apply the entangled elbow lock only when your opponent's arm is in a bent position.
c. Keep your body posture correct and lower your body in order to create a low center of gravity and thereby prevent your opponent from escaping.

These are good holds to know and can be used to great effect in judo tournaments.

The 10th and final combatant in Super Street Fighter IV is here, and he's a little weird. His name's Hakan, a Turkish wrestler, and as you can see, his technique is pretty slippery. He fights by oiling himself up and sliding fighters around his body at high speeds and then slamming them into the ground or the sides of the stage map.

How to Cultivate Patience

I'm late, I'm late! Does this sound familiar? You may remember the white rabbit saying this in the Lewis Carroll book, but it could also be something you say daily! We live in a world where our schedules are hectic and today's technology bombards us constantly. It seems more difficult then ever to cultivate patience when we are accustomed to and reinforced for having things instantly available. In addition, we often feel pressure to react immediately to interruptions from our e-mail, phone calls, or texting. As a result we resort to multi-tasking to decrease the impact of being overwhelmed from all of this while juggling family, work and social relations. There is a downside to multitasking. According to researchers at the University of California and Kings College, London, multitasking can actually lower your IQ (as does smoking marijuana) because the "lack of focus prevents information from reaching the brain's memory stores".

Patience is the ability to slow down and wait. It is the ability to regulate negative emotions (anger and frustration). It is the ability to delay gratification and control impulses (what is said and done hastily). When we see people who are patient, we certainly value this quality and wish we were more skilled at it. We have respect for the individual who can deal with provocative and irritating situations with ease and grace. Patient people show more empathy and compassion towards others, and are more calm and perseverant.

We certainly have the opportunity to practice patience in our daily lives. A few common examples are: trying to find a parking place, waiting in a long postal queue, sitting in the doctors offices for hours, being put on hold via a computer-generated telephone message, getting passed from one person to another only to get cut off and end up having to go through the whole rigmarole again. Children and adolescents can also certainly try our patience beyond reckoning.
Tips for being patient with the world

1. "Answer your emails only twice a day at scheduled times. Firstly, to check for urgent emails, and a secondly, at time that you have scheduled after the important tasks have been done (this includes Facebook, Skype, MySpace, Twitter etc.). One of the biggest distracters and time wasters is to respond to emails as they come in, so disable the symbol and sound that notifies you when an email hits your inbox and better yet, turn the Internet off completely so you don't end up surfing the web. Make sure you have no distractions. The studies indicate that every email or anything else that interrupts you, takes 12-15 minutes to get back on track. The same goes for your child who is studying for exams and doing homework.

2. Turn off your phone and mobile and put them on voicemail. When it fits into your schedule, respond to the very important ones and leave the rest till later!

3. If you find it intolerable to wait in queues, always carry an inspirational book or something to preoccupy yourself. Maybe it's a good time to sort out what's in your bag or look at your schedule tomorrow and get organized for the next day. Or listen to the audible earworms on your iPod to learn a new language. This is also a good time to say your affirmations.

4. The next time you start to get aggravated at the dawdling bank teller, the intrusive telesales person, or the disappearing waiter/waitress, imagine that there is a CCTV camera that shows the public a large close up of your face so that every muscle of your impatience is visible. If you don't like that image of yourself then how would you like the world to notice you?

Tips for being patient with your kids

1. When you feel like saying something out of frustration and intolerance, try to either zip your lip or crack a joke instead. Act patiently, don't yak impatiently. You can also reframe the situation at hand with a light-hearted approach. Laughter is much better for your health than the stress that comes with a short fuse and exasperation. Remember, for every minute you are angry you lose 60 seconds of joy with your child.

2. Watch your body-language. Children with ADHD and ASD are developmentally delayed in their ability to self-control and to demonstrate certain prosocial behaviours (usually 30-40% below their peers). All children go through different developmental stages and it is normal to find your child doing such things as writing with a black marker on a beautiful wooden floor or smearing makeup all over her face, your clothes and your room. Before you assume that your child is just being a right pain, consider that she might be trying to copy her mother. Children are experimenting and discovering their world. Kids will spill and break things and they may get sick on your new carpet. Sometimes they are clumsy, vulnerable, forgetful and they make mistakes. Instead of showing a facial expression of disgust and anger, the responsibility lies with the parent to keep things in a safe place and out of reach and to show patience and understanding. Of course there are times that parents need to give consequences, but make sure the punishment fits the crime for what is developmentally appropriate. Kids are not little adults.

3. If you take the time to problem solve with your kids, it gives them practice in developing critical thinking skills which they will need to function successfully in life. Patient parents take the time to be involved in collaborative problem-solving with family members. Dr. Ross Greene, who wrote the book: The Explosive Child, states:

"Instead of asking yourself, 'What's it going to take to motivate this kid to behave differently?' ask 'Why is this so hard for this child? What's getting in his way? How can I help?'"

Tips for being patient with yourself

1. It's not at all flattering to you when you arrive late to meetings and appointments. Make it a habit to arrive early. This will take a conscious effort on your part to set the alarm clock at an earlier time and make a commitment to get on your journey at least half an hour ahead of time. Visualize yourself being early from now on. If you dread waiting around, think of it as a time to practice patience. You can also pull out that inspirational book, sort out what's in your bag or briefcase, organize your schedule, listen to an audible book on your iPod, say your affirmations or breathe deeply. You will feel more contained, collected, and grounded. This serenity can only boost your self-esteem.

2. Really get skilled at this. Become more consciously aware of your impulsiveness and impatience. Count or record how many times during the day you are impatient. Then try to decrease your score! Take deep breaths as an alternative response. We have read that deep breathing can help you lose weight and keep you healthy, thus, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages of losing your cool. Practice, practice, practice. Yes you can change!

3. Don't try to be all things to all people. Give yourself permission to say "No", "I think that will be too much". "I won't really have time to do that". "Sorry, I can't fit that in to my schedule". When you do make plans to meet with someone, make it your goal to really take pleasure in their company. It is easier to enjoy people when you have made the proper time to see them, and you can give them your full attention. It's not enjoyable to others when you are multi-tasking while talking. It doesn't feel good that you can barely fit them into your schedule and you are looking at your watch from the beginning of the encounter. It is better to be fully present and mindful of your friend, child, relative or colleague. It's also the quality of time together that is valuable, not the quantity.

"Genius is eternal patience." - Michelangelo

Finally, what can we learn from the three-toed sloth? When looking for inspirational stories and facts about patient animals, we came across the sloth. Sloths are marvellous mammals that have the patience of a saint. The stigma of the word "slothful" seems duly unfair. The sloth can hang patiently from a tree for so long that it grows algae on its furry coat. Humans can learn a lot from these intelligent creatures as they teach us to slowly chew our food and to value sleep. (They can sleep 15-20 hours at a time). They move slowly on the ground, but they are excellent swimmers! Take a look at this enjoyable video and see what a smashing personality they have. Can you scratch your head with your foot? http://www.conservationreport.com/2009/02/21/animals-baby-sloths-are-too-cute/

Keep hanging in there while developing the power of patience!

The Power Of the Subconscious Mind

Exploring the power of the subconscious mind can be an exciting and strange journey for many people. Often the methods that are taught for taking control of and using your subconscious are set out in vague principles involving far too much guesswork.

I'd like to share with you some solid, basic foundations for harnessing that power. Prepare for the positive changes to occur in your life.

Firstly, the subconscious responds to very direct and specific communication. Repeated affirmations are an effective way to drive a belief into the subconscious, but remember to ensure that the goal or belief leaves no room for error or interpretation.

Secondly, the subconscious communicates mainly is visual images. If you want to really create change in your life using the power of your subconscious mind visualize the situation or change that you want to bring about and infuse it with emotion. Emotional visualization is the most important secret of successful use of your mind powers.

Thirdly, you can change the contents of your subconscious through progressive conditioning. What is contained in the subconscious drives your behaviour and takes control of your conscious mind. When you change the way that you behave consistently, the message is passed to the subconscious that it must accept the change and update the programming.

Possibly the most helpful principle to remember is that your subconscious mind has only one core drive - to protect you and increase the likelihood of your survival. Once you understand this you can work with your subconscious instead of fighting against it, and that's when the real magic happens.

Masters Tournament Tees Off

Golf legends Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus has refused to start the 2010 Masters Tournament. CBS Sports Jim Nantz discusses Tiger Woods' chances of winning.

Golf Tournament- The Master

Golf Tournament is commonly known as 'The Masters'. It is also known as the 'US Masters' outside the USA. It is one of the biggest championships of golf.

Unlike the other championship, this tournament is always organized at the same place in US. It is played at Augusta National Golf Club, which is a private golf club. This tournament was initiated by Clifford Robert and Bobby Jones.

The Masters is considered as official money event on PGA Tour. If somebody wins this tournament, he gets a lot of privileges. His career can become secure. People receive money as well as membership on PGA tour.

As per the typical golf tournament formatting, the Masters Tournament is a 72-hole tournament. It is organized for more than four days.

It is organized under the rules of golf. These rules are defined by the United States Golf Association. Masters Tournament Committee defines some special rules as well.

As this tournament has a comparatively smaller field to other golf tournaments, groups are set of 3 players.

Each set is decided for the first 36 holes.
Once 36 holes have been played, a cut is made.

Participants who 'make the cut' are in one or both of these classifications:
(1) Minimum 44 scores plus ties
(2) Within 10 strokes of the minimum 36-hole score. It is set by the leader.

Tickets for the Masters are not expensive. However, they are extremely hard to get. Even the practice rounds can be hard to be watched.

Applications for these practice round tickets have to be made almost a year in advance. Successful candidates are chosen by random vote.
