The Real Reason for Deep Stances in the Martial Arts

It’s fun to read through Brandon’s blog. I mean through the old short articles before he began to calculate permutations. He only in one of his many articles examines a detail of karate techniques. Other blogs examine many details of techniques, which readers either already know or aren’t interested in. But Brandon somehow deems this […]

The Number of the Beast

Paul Davidson wrote a disappointing article, in which he examined the number 666 from the Book of Revelations, but decided to stick with the old and still popular narrative that the famous ‘number of the beast’ describes Emperor Nero. This has been popular during many centuries because the Book of Revelation thus seemingly responded to […]

Learning Karate Taking Too Long?

When Brandon still was ‘In Search of Karate’, he already figured out that the purpose of karate is to keep students paying for decades. He compared this to learning to play a piano and found that pianists don’t take lessons for thirty years. But in karate, it’s even possible that a karateka, who is more […]

Three Plus Four

Sometimes a little verbal trick can save your ass. This is not only what Jesse Enkamp is teaching, but really true also according to my own experience. Already when you try to solve a conflict with words, then this can in the mind of a rowdy be enough “nonsense” for confusing the rowdy. With speed […]

Sayonisaha

Sayonisaha is asteroid #26201 and also known as 1997 GD24. Sayonisaha measures approximately 2.1 km in diameter. Sayonisaha’s orbit is characterized by a semi-major axis of 2.44 Astronomical Units, an eccentricity of 0.09, a period of revolution of 1’395 days, and an inclination of 6.5 degrees. Sayonisaha was discovered during the course of the Lincoln […]

Addendum to “The Five Days Bible Study”

Also in the religion department exist things, on which I disagree with Brandon. He after describing the guy, who did read the Bible in five days, gave his interpretation of the tale of the forbidden fruit. He thinks that God put the tree of the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden to the purpose […]

English Not the Only Difficult Language

While English is a really difficult language, it’s by far not the only one. The ‘Fluent in 3 Months’ website, from where I got that poem, has the purpose to encourage learners of foreign languages, so tries to debunk the myth that some languages would be difficult to learn. But in some cases, the ‘Fluent […]
