<blockquote><p>Com a febre de novos humoristas que espocam no teatro e na TV, sobretudo com a comédia stand up, a Globo não quer ficar atrás. A emissora acaba de contratar cinco comediantes que participaram do quadro "Quem Chega Lá" do "Domingão do Faustão".</p>
<p>No quadro, também conhecido como "Risômetro", os comediantes disputavam quem conseguia fazer a platéia rir mais. Para contratá-los, a Globo disse que deseja que eles participem, ao vivo, do programa de Fausto Silva.</p>
<p>Entretanto, os comentários nos bastidores do mundo da comédia é que a emissora quer, na realidade, colocar os humoristas na geladeira, para que não sejam contratados por outras emissoras.</p>
<p>A Globo já fez isso no passado, como quando contratou o grupo Café com Bobagem, hoje no SBT, e também o comediante Shaolin, atualmente na Record.</p>
<p>Foram contratados os três finalistas do "Risômetro": André Silveira, Alex Nogueira e Renato Piaba.</p>
<p>Os outros dois contratados pela Globo são Wagner Trindade, que interpretou uma criança no programa, e Bené Barbosa, que faz o bêbado Papudim.</p></blockquote>

</a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">7:00 am on Sunday, I was soooo sleepy...</p>
<p>Sat. night I was up late, jamming with myself. Figuring out how to work with eJam, which is an on-line service that allows musicians all over the world to play with each other. I hooked up my equipment and was playing with writing a test song. I was getting into it so ended up staying up much later than I should have needing to get up early on Sunday.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://zensekai.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/shaolin-studio.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-957" title="shaolin-studio" src="http://zensekai.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/shaolin-studio.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="450" height="338" /></a></p>
<p>I had been staying in most of the week, doing this n that, reading, computer, web setup, even a freelance design job I had picked up. Other than I couple of short runs and the interview I was dormant. Therefore I was set on going to the Dragon boat races on Treasure island. Not so much that I was so into the races, but I wanted to get out, take some pictures, be around a few people, not sit home and think.</p>
<p>At 7:00 am I turned over looked at the clock and figure out I could go for another 30 min of sleep, which ended up being another hour. Oh well. Not like I needed to be there I finally arrived at 10:30 to the race. That gave me about 1 hour, since I had planned on going to Zen/Chan practice.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://zensekai.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/dsc_0906.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-959" title="dsc_0906" src="http://zensekai.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/dsc_0906.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="450" height="299" /></a></p>
<p>Treasure Island is a former military base on a small island across from San Francisco. The race scene was pretty crowed with people, but not to the point it was uncomfortable. It was like being at a Chinese festival.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://zensekai.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/dsc_0808.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-960" title="dsc_0808" src="http://zensekai.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/dsc_0808.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="450" height="299" /></a></p>
<p>Lots of booths and stands. There was a Chen Tai Ji Demo, there was also a couple playing traditional Chinese instruments Which I catch on my way out. I did not get to listen for long as I was on the move by that time.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://zensekai.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/dsc_0871.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-961" title="dsc_0871" src="http://zensekai.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/dsc_0871.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="450" height="299" /></a></p>
<p>So for the races, I was able to get a spot right near the finish line. I could have gone right up to the line but I like the spot I had. I got to watch about 3 or 4 races.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://zensekai.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/dsc_0824.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-962" title="dsc_0824" src="http://zensekai.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/dsc_0824.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="450" height="299" /></a></p>
<p>There were a lot of teams there from all over, even a team from Hong Kong. I had seen lots of practice groups over in the estuary while I've been giving sailing classes, but never sat and watch one.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://zensekai.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/dsc_0820.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-963" title="dsc_0820" src="http://zensekai.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/dsc_0820.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="450" height="299" /></a></p>
<p>They are pretty fast considering they are just man powered. As with any sport it is more fun when you know a team or someone in the race.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://zensekai.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/dsc_0874.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-966" title="dsc_0874" src="http://zensekai.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/dsc_0874.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="450" height="299" /></a></p>
<p>Still it was good for me to be out, sitting in the sun by the water watching the race and taking pictures, not sitting home thinking about, If and when I was going to here something about the interview.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://zensekai.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/dsc_0819.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-964" title="dsc_0819" src="http://zensekai.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/dsc_0819.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="450" height="299" /></a></p>
<p>Surround by all the Chinese language I got a sense for not being in Northern Ca but overseas somewhere, like Singapore. There was a bit of excitement during the race when one of the boats almost crashed into another, missing by fraction. Then heads off directly towards another, it was wild.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://zensekai.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/dsc_0818.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-965" title="dsc_0818" src="http://zensekai.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/dsc_0818.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="450" height="299" /></a></p>
<p>Next stop was some 40 min away. So I headed back across the Bay Bridge to Fremont for Chan/Zen practice.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><a href="http://zensekai.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/dsc_0794.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-958 aligncenter" style="border:3px solid black;" title="dsc_0794" src="http://zensekai.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/dsc_0794.jpg?w=194" alt="" width="194" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>I got there right on time to the center. Today talk besides meditation was on purifying chi and how important that is to understand that just having strong chi or energy is not always good. It needs to be purified Chi. It is impossible to avoid bad chi in this world and our society unless you go live in a cave, alone, in the mountains, or an Island. What makes our practice different from most others is that with our sitting we purity not only our chi, but others there by helping not just ourselves but those around us. This is on of the reason why sitting Zazen with others is so helpful to our spirit. It was good to sit with my spiritual family today and in a space of positive Chi. I needed the spirit lift.</p>
<p>After leaving the group I stopped at Whole Foods for a little shopping. I ran into an old Kung Fu workout sister. It was good to see her, even though we were not that close when she was training, but she was ok. Most people thought of her as a dragon lady, but since I was her senior, I did not get afficted as they did. What is weird is not seeing someone for a long time then they ask , so how are things... You have that moment of, should I say how things are really are, or do the Oh, I'm fine talk, because people do not really want to hear how you really are. Then there is the thought that one should sound positive, and be positive in your thoughts. All that flashes through one's mind before saying, I'm good. :-)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And, as is usual with life, I have just read another travel book that forces me to contradict the position I took in my last post. I now realise that there is another way to get a good travel book. Which is to have a good travel theme (plus of course, the obligatory, good writer).</p>
<p>Preston explores the world of oriental Martial Arts in this book. Which is a cool subject to write about, since it probably meets all of the criteria of your average avaricious publisher. The subject is of interest to many people across the world ("more people interested means more people buy the book, you dummy"), it involves travelling to 'exotic' places, has multiple situations that allow the writer, and therefore the reader vicariously, to careen from undisguised scepticism to wide-eyed wonder within the same page and offers the writer numerous opportunities to take digs at himself (a travel-book staple these days, methinks).</p>
<p>And for all of those reasons, it works. Read it.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Green is the catch phrase for environmental awareness, responsibility, action these days. Appropriate. I have always been pro-environment it has been part of my spirit since youth. It developed a serious conscience in my Hippie/lovechild days of the 60's, it matured with my study of "Zen/Chan" and understanding the spiritual connection with all things.</p>
<p>As Team Captain for the USA-Concord, branch of <a href="http://www.ecoflag.com" target="_blank">Eco-flag GSA</a> I try to promote when ever possible Green Sport awareness. When I sail to events I fly the Green Eco flag. When I give seminars I speak of our connection. I brought the idea to the CCKTCM Kung Fu Federation the Green philosophy at our last tournament. They agreed to be connected with the movement. I was greatly disappointed when later I was told there was a change of mind. My first Mantis Shifu said the Federation "mind" was too "old world" It is clear now. No matter, my school will carry on with the Philosophy and support. This is part of the reason I have my school and do not teach for Sisuk. I need no one's ok for what I teach or support.</p>
<p>So all this lead to I came across a post about a "green jobs" movement. :</p>
<h1>{Green-Collar Jobs Campaign</h1>
<p><span class="frontfeature">The <a href="http://ellabakercenter.org/page.php?pageid=28">"green wave"</a> is coming.</span></p>
<p>A new, multi-billion dollar economic sector is emerging, bringing new opportunities in green construction, clean technology, urban agriculture and energy. <strong>Our goal: ensure that this green economy is strong enough to lift people out of poverty.</strong></p>
<p>Green-Collar Jobs Campaign creates opportunities in the green economy for poor people and people of color through <a href="http://ellabakercenter.org/page.php?pageid=31">policy advocacy</a>, <a href="http://ellabakercenter.org/page.php?pageid=27&#38;contentid=23">public outreach</a>, and an employment pipeline - the <a href="http://ellabakercenter.org/page.php?pageid=32">Green Jobs Corps</a>.} this is a nationwide campaign. One of the events was held in Oakland today. I decided I would attend and see what was going on.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://zensekai.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/img_2657.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-923" title="img_2657" src="http://zensekai.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/img_2657.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="450" height="338" /></a></p>
<p>The crowd was smaller than I expected, it was however good to see the large diversity of young people. The event was more or less directed toward the up coming generation.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://zensekai.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/img_2656.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-924 aligncenter" title="img_2656" src="http://zensekai.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/img_2656.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="450" height="338" /></a></p>
<p>The music, the talk, the job leads, the style. Not really much for us graying warriors. There were a few of us there, kicking around :-)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://zensekai.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/img_2658.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-925" title="img_2658" src="http://zensekai.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/img_2658.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="450" height="338" /></a></p>
<p>The message of the event was good, the future is being transfered to the the new generation, there needs to be a new thought to energy, jobs, power and education. As well as stop the violence!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://zensekai.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/img_2659.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-926" title="img_2659" src="http://zensekai.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/img_2659.jpg?w=500" alt="" width="450" height="338" /></a></p>
<p>The message was well recieved... Hope is alive.</p>

<description><![CDATA[It was that time again to head down to my Shifu&#8217;s for practice. I was feeling a bit lazy about]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was that time again to head down to my Shifu's for practice. I was feeling a bit lazy about the drive and even going out. I had been in the house for most of the week, a couple of short furries. One of which was to the bank to pull out most of our money, which turned out to be the day before the bank said they were bankrupht!! We did not have enough money in there to really be concern as it is FDIC , but still...Yokkata!</p>
<p>My other short venture was to visit Sisuk and a talk with him about his website. The rest of the week was spent, other than my teaching class, in front of the computer, trying to dissect Sisuk's webpage so I could update it, on facebook, Multiply talking election, and job hunting.</p>
<p>Anyway not much live people contact, as usual. So class was the most people contact I will have had for the week. It is over an hour drive to Campbell to see Shifu. The drive in a way is a meditation time. The traffic was fairly light, so it was nice. Time to reflect on our soon to be coming, in a few years, move to Nihon, our even sooner giving up our condo and move, friends, and/or the lack of them...</p>
<p><a href="http://zensekai.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/dragon-4.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-920" style="border:3px solid black;margin:7px;" title="dragon-4" src="http://zensekai.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/dragon-4.jpg" alt="" width="239" height="216" /></a>It was a quiet night down at Shifu's only 4 or 5 others. I had brought my Jian but did not even pll it out. When I arrived, Shifu was on the floor showing some take down technique. It looked very simple. I watched more and listened.  He use hardly any effort. The others tried it, but could nto quite get it. I listen to him and watched. then I tired it. We could not get it. All of us used too much force and effort to do it. Shifu made it look SO easy and effortless. There was not even a pain factor envolved on the reciever he just was being forced down, with out power. I watched, and listened, It had to do with timing, balance and feel. we tried, not quite there. Shifu demo'd on me so I coudl feel what was happening. It was really really in the timing of the other's balance. A small step in and light push to upset their balance , then as the tried to recoved, pressed down. Very simple, very hard. There were ways of inflecting some pain to help the process but that was not what the drill was about. It was about feeling and timing.</p>
<p>After a while I that I worked with another class mate of some reviews of two man drills. It is nicr working with a peer than my students, not only do I get to correct a couple of my mistakes, but the element of speed and power can be added. I had him show me a grappling drill that was shown at the seminar that I missed. a simple but good drill, I want to show my students. We went through that several times. Next up he and other went through a two man form that is on my list of thigns to learn. The Seven Star Mantis Two Man Bumbo. I have leanred the Tai Chi mantis single form and it would be easir to learn the other side of that, but eveyone says that it is not as good as the 7 star for training. I've seen the TCM version and it does not really match the other side. Tonight I saw the 7 star version and it does match exactly the single side. So that will be high on my list of things to learn next year.</p>
<p>After that, it was time to eat. Shifu had cooked deep fired chicken, someone had made corned beef and cabbage. They ordered veggie pizza for me, it was good! I was glad I brought beer for them. I should not have been eating that late, that much, but once in a while is ok. Tonight since it was   few of us, we sat and ate in Shifu's office. Usually we bring out chair to the practice area. Tonight we did not. Also a change we usually talk kung fu, tonight we talked history and politics. Early USA history about Philadelphia and Philly cheese steaks, as well as historic stuff, Independence the like and the current politic. Even felt McCain vp choice was ridiculous. Also Obama may not be the best but he is the lessor of evils for our future.</p>
<p>Shifu brought up it will be our last Friday session of the year. Next month Halloween will be on the day, most will be out, Nov, is right before Thanksgiving (another topic of discussion), then Christmas in Dec. So we will not be having a practice meeting until Jan. There will be however the annual holiday dinner party. Amazing the year is almost over and what a downer it has been overall. Life is like that at times yang flows to yin, which sooner or later flows back to yang. It is the riding it out that is the challenge. I need to spend more time training/practicing, it is too easy to get caught up in the Yin aspects. Having good health and love are our most important life treasures. With that one can bare through other life challenges.</p>
<p>One good thing this week. I did get a interview for a job. it was a phone interview so it was just phase one, but at least I got that. I was concerned my resume was so bad or lacking or had a mistake I did not see that no one was contacting me. It had been months since I've gotten even an interest response. Of course having several thousand people applying for the same job no doubt does not help my chances when one is overwhelmed with choices.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For five years and counting, I've practiced kung fu, Northern Shaolin Kung Fu to be exact, partnered with Sun Style Tai Chi. The first is flowery and fluid, yet explosive with speed and power. The second is slow and measured, with compact, flowing motions.</p>
<p>Most people think I break boards, wear a gi (the uniform found in karate, judo, or tae kwan do), and yowl like Bruce Lee. Mostly, I practice forms, stance, and breathing, all in sweats and a t-shirt. Because of the Chinese family lineage of our styles, we don't have a ranking system if colored belts. I'm not sure how I would rank in such a system anyway. My skills are fair to middling, more theory than practice and quite honestly, I'm not in a hurry to test my skills beyond friendly sparring.</p>
<p>So why bother even pretending to hit people? Essentially, that is the crux of what I do. Martial arts are designed to subdue, injure, or even kill another human. This is not the toolset of a pacifist.</p>
<p>Kung fu teaches me to listen.</p>
<p>The body often tells us things we choose to ignore, little warning signals of discomfort that eventually become things like back pain or carpel tunnel syndrome. It can be the smothered pangs of anxiety that, left unchecked, turn into fight-or-flight panic attacks. Been there, done that, and I can't believe now that I ever did. Nothing is worth such breakdowns, not unless you are fighting for your fucking life. Yet, I see people accept these discomforts as part of their status quo, something to put up with, to muddle through.</p>
<p>Listen. There is music in your body, where your weight shifts from one leg to the other, where your heart keeps time and your breath takes in the cool  air and warms it before sending it out again. Listen to your thoughts snap with little synaptic crackles as they scurry about your head. Your senses are a conversation with yourself waiting to happen.</p>
<p>Listen and maybe you'll surprise yourself with what you hear.</p>

<p>Freu mich drauf!</p>
<p>Hier schon mal die 12 Prinzipien, die in dem Buch von Bernhard Moestl erläutert werden:</p>
<ol>
<li>Lebe im Hier und Jetzt, ohne den Moment zu bewerten.</li>
<li>Nur durch Achtsamkeit kommt die Einsicht in andere und in dich selbst.</li>
<li>Tue Dinge ganz oder lasse sei sein.</li>
<li>Begierde macht dich berechenbar, verletzbar und erpressbar.</li>
<li>Lass dich nie zu einer Handlung hinreissen.</li>
<li>Besiege Eile mit Langsamkeit.</li>
<li>Nur durch Nachahmung kannst du andere besser einschätzen.</li>
<li>Schaffe Gelegenheit und warte auf sie, um sie für dich, aber gegen deine Feinde zu verwenden.</li>
<li>Wenn du nachgibst, lässt du die Energie des Gegners ins Leere laufen.</li>
<li>Wahre Überlegenheit ist die  Kunst, kampflos zu siegen.</li>
<li>Löse dich von deiner übernommenen Meinung und prüfe deine eigenen stets aufs Neue.</li>
<li>Alles, was du bist und was du wirst, liegt nur in dir selbst.</li>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Idag kommer jag att ruttna iväg känner jag. Det kommer inte att hända nått alls på jobbet och jag kommer inte att känna av att tiden rör sig ens 1 timme frammåt.  Alla på min avdelning är borta i Oslo och kvar är bara jag, ensam och utan jobb.<br />
Det lilla jobb jag har kommer jag att bli klar med under förmiddagen och sen va det inte mycket mer för mig att göra. Jag förstår inte hur jag ska få den här dagen eller den här veckan för den delen, att gå frammåt. Dom kommer ju att vara borta nästan hela veckan. Suck!!</p>
<p>Det enda jag gör är att sitta och surfa, grubbla, tänka på allt annat än jobb, hämtar kaffe, läser tidningen, tittar igenom mina mail, ja allt möjligt utom jobb. Inte för att jag inte vill jobba, utan för att dom har lämnat mig här utan att jag är upplärd p ådet nya jobbet och har inget att göra. Jag vet ju inte ens vad jag ska göra. Ja alltså förutom faktureringen som jag som sagt redan tagit hand om och lite kvar har jag att göra när resten av fakturorna kommer in senare. Så fram till att dom kommer kan jag inget göra. Fasen för att ha det så här på en arbetsplats. Suck igen!!</p>
<p>Idag är det träningn i alla fall, 20:00 på kvällen, NICE, ska slå så hårt på dom där mitsarna att den stackars människan bakom mitsen kommer att flyta in i väggen. Nej jag är inte ute efter att skada den stackars människan, jag bara är ute efter att bränna aggression, ilska och irritationen inom mig. Jag vill slå mig trött, sparka mig svag och springa mig svettig och slut. Jag vill komma hem helt färdig, slut, trasig och urpumpad på energi så att jag inte kan ägna en enda tanke mer åt idioten som jag snart ska bli sambo med. =)</p>
<p>Idag efter jobbet (jag kommer att sluta tidigare än vanligt) ska jag möta upp min blivande sambo för att åka till Märsta Möbler ute i ArlandaStad och titta på soffor som dom utannonserar som lagervara. Dvs dom finns att hämta ut närsom, men dom vi egentligen vill ha finns hos Mio Möbler och dom är det 6-8 veckors väntetid på eller leveranstid på. Det är nästan 2 månader och vi flyttar nästa vecka. Trippel suck!!! Så vi har tänkt om lite och det kanske får bli så att vi får köpa dom i Märsta (beroende på om dom är sköna och vi gillar dom) så slipper vi den där leveranstiden. Om vi inte gillar dom i Märsta så får vi ta smällen att leva i 2 månader (möjligen mindre tid) med sängen i vardagsrummet och vänta i 6-8 veckor på våra soffor. Vi får se vad ödet har för planer och överraskningar åt oss idag.</p>
<p>Nu blir det lite fika, med mig själv, titta igenom posten för att se om fakturorna har kommit och sen ska jag väl kanske jobba lite med det lilla jag kan göra. =)<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Shorin e Shorei</strong></p>
<p>Le scuole di karate a Okinawa sono abitualmente collocate in due grandi  correnti: Shorin e Shorei. Tuttavia, fino a ora, nessuno ha potuto precisare  come e quando queste due correnti o scuole si siano formate a Okinawa, né la  loro relazione esatta con le scuole cinesi. Anko Itosu scrive: "Il karate non  deriva né dal confucianesimo, né dal buddismo. Esso e stato introdotto molto  tempo fa dalla Cina, con le correnti Shorin-ryu e Shorei-ryu... " G. Funakoshi  tenta di precisare la distinzione tra queste due correnti: "Nondimeno, se i kata  devono essere classificati, si può, in maniera molto generale, distinguere due  grandi gruppi: quelli che appartengono allo Shorei-ryu (scuola Shorei) e quelli  che appartengono allo Shorin-ryu (scuola Shorin). Il primo mette l'accento sullo  sviluppo della forza fisica e della potenza muscolare; e sorprendente per  l’impressione di forza che sprigiona. Al contrario, la scuola Shorin è molto  leggera, e richiama senz'altro il rapido volo del falco... In verità, è molto  impressionante osservare un uomo possentemente costruito eseguire un kata della  scuola Shorei, soggiogando l'osservatore con l'impressione della sua forza  assoluta. Ma bisogna riconoscere che tende a mancare di velocità. Allo stesso  modo, non si può evitare di restare molto impressionati alla vista di un uomo  slanciato che, con gesti cosi rapidi quanto quelli di un uccello in volo, esegue  un kata della scuola Shorin, con tecniche dalla scintillante vivacità, risultato  di un allenamento intensivo. I due stili sviluppano lo spirito e il corpo,<a href="http://gonosen.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/budo.gif"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-810" style="border:0 none;margin-left:2px;margin-right:2px;" title="budo" src="http://gonosen.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/budo.gif?w=193" alt="" width="193" height="300" /></a> e  l’uno non e migliore dell'altro. Essi hanno entrambi i loro punti deboli e i  loro punti forti, e coloro che vogliono studiare il karate devono riconoscere  questi punti e studiarli di conseguenza..." Secondo questa classificazione, la  scuola Goju-ryu si ricollega allo Shorei. Le due scuole Shorin-ryu e  Matsubayashi-ryu (gli ideogrammi di Matsubayashi possono anche leggersi Shorin),  che comprendono diverse diramazioni e si situano in gran parte nella discendenza  di Matsumura e di Itosu, fanno parte dello Shorin. La scuola Shito-ryu partecipa  di entrambe. La scuola Uechi-ryu è la ripresa di una scuola cinese introdotta a  Okinawa da K. Uechi alla fine del secolo XIX. Essa si pone quindi al di fuori di  questa classificazione e proviene direttamente da una delle numerose correnti di  Shaolin quan del Sud della Cina.Si avanza l'ipotesi che Shorin e Shorei  provengano dalla stessa denominazione: "Shaolin". La lingua locale di Okinawa è  un dialetto della lingua giapponese in cui le pronunce delle lettere "r" e "l"  non sono distinte. Di fatto la parola cinese "Shaolin" è generalmente  pronunciata in giapponese "Shorin". E probabile che il termine Shaolin sia stato  pronunciato dagli Okinawesi "Shorin" in una certa epoca, e "Shorei" in un'altra.  Penso quindi che Shorin e Shorei designino entrambi la "boxe del tempio Shaolin"  o Shaolin quan. In effetti il <!--more-->tempio Shaolin risale alla fine del secolo V, e il  termine Shaolin quan proviene da questo tempio. Nel corso della storia questo  tempio è stato distrutto, e parecchi templi con questo nome sono stati  costruiti, poi distrutti e ricostruiti in regioni diverse della Cina, includendo  ogni volta le particolarità delle arti di combattimento della zona. Lo Shaolin  quan si è diversificato a un punto tale che lo Shaolin quan del Nord e quello  del Sud sono completamente diversi. La denominazione Shaolin quan ricopre dunque  un numero molto grande di correnti dell'arte del combattimento. Per questo non  sarebbe sorprendente che due forme dell'arte del combattimento tanto diversi  come quelle descritte da G. Funakoshi siano state introdotte sotto uno stesso  nome, "Shaolin", e che gli Okinawesi abbiano captato foneticamente ora "Shorin"  ora "Shorei". In tal caso, è normale che non possiamo trovare i nomi delle  scuole Shorin e Shorei in Cina. Le radici della diversità delle scuole di karate  di Okinawa risalirebbero allora alla diversità delle correnti dello Shaolin quan  in Cina.</p>
<p><strong>Mano vuota</strong></p>
<p>Funakoshi scrive nel 1922 un libro intitolato Rykkyu kenpo karate (Il karate,  pugilato di Ryu-kyu), e nel 1924 un altro intitolato Rentan goshin karate jutsu  (Tecnica del karate - rafforzamento energetico e autodifesa). In queste due  opere egli scrive il termine karate con gli ideogrammi che significano «la mano  della Cina». E verso il 1930 che egli comincerà a trascrivere kara con  l'ideogramma che significa «vuoto». Con il montare del nazionalismo,  l'ideogramma «Cina» appare come un elemento di disturbo per l'integrazione del  karate nella tradizione del budo giapponese, e anche per la sua diffusione,  tanto più considerando che la tradizione del budo e molto vicina al militarismo  giapponese, in via di rafforzamento nel corso degli anni Trenta. E in questa  situazione sociale che G. Funakoshi sceglie, per scrivere il suono kara di  karate, di sostituire l'ideogramma che significa «Cina» con quello che ha il  senso di «vuoto». Egli spiega questa scelta attraverso queste due piccole frasi  dell'insegnamento buddista zen: Shiki soku ze ku Ku soku ze shiki che  significano: Tutti gli aspetti della realtà visibile equivalgono al vuoto  (nulla), Il vuoto (nulla) è l'origine di tutta la realtà. Ugualmente tutte le  discipline del budo giungono alla fine allo stato di un uomo a mani vuote, e lo  stato di un uomo a mani vuote è il principio di tutto il budo. E' così che si è  formato il termine «karate» ripreso oggi nelle lingue europee. La parola  «karate», quando la sentiamo, riflette questa profondità,? Quale significato  veicola in queste lingue? Dopo aver scelto gli ideogrammi, G. Funakoshi aggiunge  al termine karate il suffisso do (via) e 1'arte si chiamerà d'ora in avanti  karate-do. Questo termine viene dapprima adottato dal gruppo di karateka  dell'università Keio che incoraggiano G. Funakoshi a utilizzarlo pubblicamente.  Numerosi adepti anziani di Okinawa criticano allora severamente G. Funakoshi per  l'adozione di questo termine. Alcuni anni più tardi quasi tutti gli esperti  avranno adottato questa terminologia. Questi fatti testimoniano la differenza di  filiazione tra il karate di Okinawa e il budo giapponese, poiché la nozione di  do non era implicitamente presente nel karate di Okinawa come lo era nel budo.  Lo sforzo di adepti come G. Funakoshi ha teso a integrare la cultura del budo  per innalzare la qualità del karate. L'adozione del termine karate risale agli  anni Trenta. Questo cambiamento di nome è rivelatore di una fase importante  nella storia di questa disciplina. Corrisponde al passaggio da un'arte segreta,  il cui nome, variabile, importava poco, all'affermazione di un'arte  riconosciuta, il cui nome ne indica 1'orientamento. La parola karate significa:  «mano vuota»; essa ha in sé un'indicazione tecnica e un'idea filosofica, poiché  questo «vuoto» va inteso nell'accezione buddistica del termine. In giapponese  Karate si scrive con ideogrammi, e il legame tra il carattere scritto e il suono  non è così diretto come nelle scritture fonetiche. Spesso esistono diverse  pronunce per lo stesso ideogramma e lo stesso suono può corrispondere a più  ideogrammi. Il nome antico di karate era to de «la mano (de o te ) della Cina  (to )», o più semplicemente te o de. L'ideogramma to si pronuncia anche kara, e  all'inizio del ventesimo secolo ha cominciato a essere impiegata questa  pronuncia: kara-te «la mano (te) della Cina (kara)». Il termine te o de,  letteralmente «mano», ha anche il significato di «arte» o «tecnica». L'uso della  pronuncia kara permetteva di giocare su un doppio senso, poiché il suono kara in  giapponese significa anche «vuoto», ma viene scritto con un altro ideogramma .  Il cambiamento dell'ideogramma corrispondente al suono kara si spiega in due  modi complementari: da una parte il termine kara, che significa «vuoto»  nell'accezione del buddismo zen, ha in giapponese una profondita maggiore,  dall'altra il termine «mano cinese» non andava molto d'accordo col nazionalismo  giapponese di inizio secolo. Questa nuova forma, kara-te, «mano vuota», si è  diffusa nel corso degli anni Trenta, nel momento in cui i maestri di karate,  arrivati dalla piccola isola di Okinawa, cercarono di inserire la loro arte  nella più vasta tradizione del budo (insieme delle arti marziali dei guerrieri  giapponesi).</p>

<p>As anyone who practiced traditional Chinese martial arts (wushu or kung-fu) knows, these fighting systems almost all derive their fundamental inspiration from animals and animal behavior. For instance, you have your Tiger style, Dragon style, Crab, Crane, Praying Mantis, Monkey, Bear, etc.... So basically here you have 'humans' impersonating animals. I wonder how this relates to the human ego, which is after all is the animal mind, and the desire of getting rid of it in order to attain true human nature. In other words, can traditional Chinese martial artists attain true humanness if they continue to show such a high affinity with the animal kingdom?</p>
<p>What about Shaolin? These monks seem to be as dedicated as they are spiritual. Can they reach true humanness, while they are simultaneously so profound in their emulation of the animal kingdom?<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>La maggior parte delle arti marziali cinesi affonda le sue origini nella notte dei tempi. E' ormai accettato all'unanimità che tutte le arti marziali moderne hanno comunque avuto origine da quelle praticate nel <a title="Taijispot link wikipedia It" href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaolinsi" target="_blank">tempio Shaolin</a>, da che <a title="Taijispot link wikipedia It" href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodhidharma" target="_blank">il monaco Buddista Da Mo (detto anche Bodhidharma)</a> arrivò dall'India nel 527 A.C. circa e, dopo nove anni di meditazione, trasmise ai monaci del tempio due trattati di Qi Gong: <a title="Taijispot link wikipedia It" href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yijinjing" target="_blank">l'Yi jin jing (Classico del cambiamento dei muscoli e dei tendini)</a> e lo Xi sui jing (Classico della purificazione del midollo osseo).</p>
<p>Da quel momento in poi l'energia interna (Nei Jin) venne presa in considerazione per l'allenamento nelle arti marziali, chiarendo il fatto che oltre alla forza muscolare (Li) era necessaria una grande forza interna (Qi) per rendere efficaci e "potenti" le proprie tecniche marziali (sia negli stili interni che in quelli esterni).</p>
<p>Prima di allora la storia delle arti marziali era già millenaria.Vari stili e scuole erano già stati creati e approfonditi e altri si erano già persi nel tempo o fusi e/o trasformati in altri.</p>
<p>Ci sono alcuni "stili" (se così possono essere chiamati) antichissimi di arti marziali cinesi che vengono praticati ancora oggi (anche se con alcune importanti modifiche) e che in Cina, come nel resto del mondo, hanno un ampio seguito sia di pubblico che di praticanti.</p>
<p>Queste antiche arti marziali sono il Sanda (anche detto San Shou) e lo Shuai Jiao (anche detto Lotta cinese). Molte delle tecniche relative alle arti marziali moderne sono state mutuate da queste ultime.</p>
<p><strong>Il Sanda</strong></p>
<p>Il Sanda è una antica arte marziale cinese altrimenti chiamata anche con il nome San Shou (pressapoco "mani alla rinfusa"), termine che viene generalmente associato al Sanda (appunto) o, più diffusamente, alle tecniche di lotta delle arti marziali in genere.</p>
<p>Molto simili sono il Kick Boxing occidentale e il Muay Thai (o boxe thailandese), arti marziali che sicuramente molto hanno appreso dalle tecniche e dalla tradizione del Sanda.</p>
<p>Altri nomi utilizzati per il Sanda sono: Xiangbo (lotta contro l'altro), Shou-Bo (lotta con le mani), Bian (impetuosità), Baida, Shou-zhan (battaglia con le mani).</p>
<p>Nella nostra epoca il Sanda è stato codificato a partire dagli anni '60 con nuove regole, per evitare danni fisici gravi ai combattenti impegnati negli incontri.</p>
<p>Arte marziale dinamica e, a volte, molto violenta, nel Sanda "moderno", a differenza del passato non sono ammessi colpi di ginocchio, di gomito o leve articolari. Il resto dei colpi possibili è, quindi, ammesso.</p>
<p>I contendenti, che gareggiano su di un ring chiamato "Leitai", indossano inoltre protezioni per le varie parti del corpo (testa, mani, torace,genitali e bocca). Fino a qualche anno fa venivano inclusi anche i paratibie (mentre gli incontri di Sanda italiani li prevedono ancora).</p>
<p>Storicamente il Sanda ha origine molti secoli fa, tanto che si pensa che le società primitive già praticassero questo tipo di combattimento. Le prime fonti documentate descrivono incontri di Sanda già nel <a title="Taijispot link Wikipedia It" href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodo_delle_primavere_e_degli_autunni" target="_blank">"periodo delle primavere e degli autunni"</a> e <a title="Taijispot Link wikipedia It" href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodo_dei_regni_combattenti" target="_blank">"degli stati combattenti" (720-221 A.C.).</a></p>
<p>In questo periodo l'arte marziale si identifica con il nome di "Leitai" che, come già detto indica la parola ring. Tali incontri avevano ben poco delle tecniche moderne e, a quanto pare, venivano ammesse anche armi. Molto spesso il combattimento si concludeva con la morte, il ferimento o la menomazione grave di uno dei due contendenti.</p>
<p>Durante la <a title="Taijispot link wikipedia It" href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinastia_Song" target="_blank">dinastia Song (960 D.C. - 1279 D.C.) </a>e fino alla <a title="Taijispot link Wikipedia It" href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinastia_Qing" target="_blank">dinastia Qing (1644 D.C. - 1911 D.C.)</a>, il Sanda veniva ampiamente praticato dalla popolazione, sopratutto in feste e sagre paesane dove venivano organizzati dei tornei liberi e dove, a quanto pare, molto forti e presenti erano anche le donne.</p>
<p>In tempi più moderni, i tornei di Sanda vennero giudicati troppo cruenti tant'è che, riunite le maggiori scuole, le regole dei combattimenti vennero modificate verso un criterio di sicurezza maggiore.</p>

<p> </p>
<p><strong>Lo Shuai Jiao</strong></p>
<p>L'origine della lotta libera cinese si perde nella notte dei tempi, ma è sicuramente nelle regioni del Nord che ha avuto il suo inizio. Per le sue specifiche caratteristiche lo Shuai Jiao viene inserito in un contesto diverso da tutte le altre arti marziali cinesi.</p>
<p>Tanti sono i nomi che sono state dati nel tempo allo Shuai Jiao. Si pensa infatti che in passato venisse chiamato Jiaoli ("fare ogni sforzo con le corna") oppure Jiaodi ("opporsi a qualcuno con le corna") oppure Xiangpu oppure Zhengjao ("competere e cadere").</p>
<p>Lo "Jiaodi" veniva indicato già nel 2687 A.C. per definire un tipo di lotta che veniva praticato con indosso dei copricapi sormontati da corna (da questo il significato della traduzione di cui sopra). L'imperatore giallo includeva la lotta libera nell'addestramento delle sue truppe, così come veniva fatto durante la dinastia Zhou, ma con il nome di "Jiaoli".</p>
<p>Lo "Jiaoli" comprendeva varie tecniche di combattimento tra le quali "colpire", "sottomettere" e "bloccare l'avversario". Per la sua antica tradizione e per la completezza delle sue tecniche è molto probabile che la lotta libera cinese (assieme al Sanda) sia alla base della stragrande maggioranza delle arti marziali cinesi più recenti.</p>
<p>Il termine moderno di "Shuai Jiao" fu scelto nel 1928 dall'accademia delle arti marziali di Nanchino (Zhong Yang Guo Shu Guan). Lo Shuai Jiao è oggi molto popolare tra le popolazioni di etnia mongola e fa parte dell'addestramento regolare di polizia e militari cinesi.</p>
<p>In passato le maggiori fucine di talenti nascevano in ambito imperiale e precisamente durante la dinastia Qing. Era infatti nella Shanpuying (la scuola di addestramento delle guardie imperiali) che i migliori atleti si formavano.</p>
<p>In realtà lo Shuai Jiao, così come è possibile vederlo oggi, è un misto di tecniche di lotta mongole e mancesi adattate al contesto culturale e sportivo cinese.<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>so last night at kung fu i had my first taste of being tossed around like a wet noodle.  although in my case, it was more like stale rigatoni.  gnocchi, maybe.  it was fun, i was always into tumbling ever since spending my adolesence on the gymnastics team and cartwheeling my way across my backyard.  Still... it has been a while, and gotDAMN my ass got huge since then.  it was like someone strapped a volley ball to my waist and when i tried to get up i just rolled backwards.  i was laughing at myself, at least.  and i think my partner rather enjoyed having a volley ball pressed up against his belly.  ahem.  ; )</p>
<p>i also bought a new pair of wushu training shoes, since the merrells i've had for a while have a zipper on top... which had been fine up until last night.  the top of my foot has a lump the size of a dunkin' donuts munchkin from the stupid zipper digging into me as i was getting my ass whooped all over the place.</p>
<p>i have a long way to go before i'll be considered proficient at shaolin kung fu (a blinding headache from all the falling kept me from finishing the last 15 minutes of class) but i still love it to pieces, injuries and all.</p>
