A Mouthful of Self Defence (Part 6)

Protecting oneself against horrible and strange infections must be considered, but spreading them goes far beyond self defence. So I hope that y’all are mentally sane enough for not considering biting as a standard self defence technique! Yet when Igor and Chris in their comments from September, 6th in 2010 joke about no more brushing […]

On some DC Superheroes (7)

The graphic novels from DC have a very young audience and competitors like Marvel, Mattel, and in particular in Europe also graphic novels from Belgian publishers. So the audience can spend only little money on the graphic novels from DC and hence the fewest fans will know the complete mythology. Non-Americans should know it less […]

Human memory isn’t reliable and can easily be changed this way. Another […]

Once students of Itosu Yasutsune (糸洲 安恒) performed kata and were watched by a former student of the same master. I’m not sure whether it was another karate master, but several martial arts blogs pass on this anecdote. The former student noticed that the younger karateka did the kata different than he himself had learnt […]

It’s Australia’s R U OK Day

On September, 11th in this year is the Australian R U OK Day, a fancy holiday dedicated to suicide prevention. It is on September’s second Thursday in each year and exists since 2009. I wonder whether suicides peak in number on Thursdays or why Thursday was chosen. But I know that traffic accidents peak in […]

Second Addendum to ‘How to Attain Superpowers’

In the first addendum to ‘How to Attain Superpowers’, I only wanted to assign the Four Elements obviously. Yet the way to attain superpowers still is to refine your ki (気). Although it is called ōra (オーラ) in the anime series Hunter X Hunter (I watched only the remake because the original doesn’t have a […]
