US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth says that only Iran bombs civilian targets. The opposite is true. Thousands of Iranians already got injured due to more than one-hundred-and-two-thousand civilian facilities in Iran got bombed, while Iran in return had only tried to neutralize the threat. Albeit Iran meanwhile threatened with retaliation. But the most prominent […]

When watching American tv series or watching anime, I always wonder why people don’t know their classmates’ names. My memory for names is really bad, but I at least remember the names of the classmates, who I had decades ago. But I meanwhile watched so many anime that I understand the phenomenon. People are together […]

This article is a kind of addendum to ‘The Real Reason for Deep Stances in the Martial Arts’ and also to ‘My Own Lineage III’. I in the latter told: “I furthermore had once begun to learn tài-jí-quán (traditional: 太極拳 / simplified: 太极拳) in a club in a village in the vicinity of my village, […]

This article also is a kind of addendum to ‘The Number of the Beast’. The quoted Bible verse Matthew 10:24 mentions mammon. I wonder why this word not always is capitalized. It indeed means ‘money’ in Hebrew, but there’s a reason for this word in most Bible translations not getting translated. Mammon is a personification and […]

The Martial Development blog is a really great blog because it also treats the health aspects and the spiritual aspects of martial arts. In the comment section of a blog post on the Martial Development blog, I found a comment, which elaborates parallels between Christ and according figures from other religions. It’s a really good […]

The grandfather of Eduard Teller thought that Teller would be stupid because Eduard Teller needed longer than the average child until he was able to speak. This was due to Eduard Teller growing up bilingually. I skipped this issue in my article on the […]

Even God loves a good wrestling match! So He wrestled with Jacob. Do you know this Biblical tale? And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok. And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent […]

A martial art in truth is a therapy! This explains why people learn techniques and tactics, which they would have needed decades ago and then perhaps never again. The situations of the past then are recapitulated and better solutions get found as a kind of psychoanalysis. This article series serves the same purpose. I begin […]

In some comment, which I don’t find anymore, I did read that people learn a martial art because they experienced some trauma in the past. They try to repair the past this way. But the past is the past and already gone. To attain the skills, which would have been needed back then, doesn’t have […]

The ‘Fluent in 3 Months’ website features an article on learning French. The mother tongue of the author of that article is English. That article is written well. The author elaborates on her motivation to learn French, then mentions several methods, which she tried and which didn’t make her understand French. She also mentions the […]
