A student of the historical Buddha once wanted to know how those, who seek salvation, should behave regarding women. The historical Buddha replied that his students at best pretend that women won’t be around at all. Whether the historical Buddha, who grew up as a prince, knew that ignoring them makes somebody irresistible to women? […]

Martial arts are the way to attain superpowers and I know some anime, which shine more light on this topic. The first of them is Dragon Balls. The protagonists of this anime series and its spin-offs develop some abilities, which can be assigned to the Four Elements: Ability to fly: Air Ability to suppress the […]

As I, just while writing the previous article, had a look at the nice pictures of submission holds in Jesse Enkamp’s article, I noticed something with respect to the sankaku-jime (三角絞) or triangle choke. This technique somehow resembles the karate stance, which is known as sagi-ashi-dachi (鷺足立), gankaku-dachi (岩鶴立), and some more names. Can you, […]

Jesse Enkamp has some nice pictures of submission holds in his article. There I saw some of the submission holds for the first time. Besides some comments from obviously evil people, who want to maximize damage, the article also got some great comments.

Nichiren (日蓮) was a Japanese Buddhist Monk, who lived from 1222 A.D. until 1282 A.D. and belonged, like Hōnen Shōnin (法然 上人), to the Tendai-shū (天台宗).

While the Wikimedia Foundation a while ago had only admitted that it ran a test, in which an Artificial Intelligence summarized Wikipedia articles, the Wikimedia Foundation meanwhile admitted that some articles got unofficially created by Artificial Intelligence.

A bite is likely to mean to draw a lot of blood! A bite can even mean that your adversary’s wound touches your own wound. So I think that Mohammede’s comment from August, 26th in 2010 on Jesse Enkamp’s article is especially interesting! Self defence in South Africa means to train to avoid drawing blood! […]

All experts worldwide agree that warfare changes due to the Ukraine War. But experts in the West believe that the use of many drones is the major change. This is nonsense because each country, that arrived in the postmodern age, possesses drones and anti-drone weapons due to the USA deploying military drones since already more […]

Crucifixes depict Jesus in many different ways. He on crucifixes in Europe usually is white, on crucifixes in Africa usually black, and on crucifixes in Japan, Jesus somehow looks Japanese. He adapts to each ethnicity, which makes crucifixes. I think at this circumstance, when I read or hear that Jesus would be able to shapeshift. […]
