9 man Kumite during Jukaado Camp May 2011

The students really did fight well during the 9 man kumite specially when we have to consider the fact that they had a tiring midnight session which got over at 3am and they started the kumite session in the morning at 6:30 am with barely enough sleep or time for the body to recoup.

The above video has Shiv fighting well specially since most of his opponents are not only many years older than him but some even double his height. Keep it up.

In the above video we have Hussain who also fought well. It is always nice to see all of them giving their best even though they had all injured their elbows with lots of crawling the previous day and only few hours sleep between the last midnight session.

The above video has Sravan. Unfortunately our battery was running low and we could not shoot the full 9 man kumite by him. One thing am sure all who attended camp will agree is that Sravan has a very strong will power and never gave up through all the 8 days at camp even though he has not been training regularly for quite some time now. Infact he kept pushing others also to train harder and not give up.

Importance of Self defense training for all.

Self defense training is a life skill that is very important for all to learn irrespective of age, gender or fitness levels. It is the training to be ready and prevent being a victim of a violent assault or crime. Self defense is about how we respond in the first 10 to 15 seconds after being physically attacked and also about the few minutes prior to that. Very often the attitude of most people is - Why do I need to learn all this, we have the law to protect us and it won't happen to me. Yes we do have a wonderful law enforcement departments like the police and the judiciary to protect us and give justice etc. But we are our own first responders. There is no police patrol vehicle following each of us to protect us as soon as something happens. Self defense training is exactly for this time zone between being attacked and the police coming to the scene to protect you. We need to train for this exact moment on how to respond when attacked violently and prevent ourselves ...

The weight loss lies and scam.

There are so many theories and beliefs surrounding weight loss programs and health. But a generic approach can never work for all. It may show some results but to get to the optimum of health and fitness that can be achieved, a personalized program or methodology needs to be designed. The height to weight chart is also very generic. There are many factors that go into deciding a person's ideal weight beyond just their height. Things like activity level, type of bones, genetic ancestry, lifestyle, kind of work, and lots more. To fit all into the same box is like trying to fit an elephant in a matchbox. Weight should always be approached holistically. What is the use of losing lots of weight but being physically weak or tired all the time. One needs to be healthy, active and fit, this is what should always supercede weight. Our obsession with weight makes us do so many stupid things thinking it will get results. To fuel this stupidity we also have all the non...

Motivation is a scam that is making us weak.

There are some words that are created or given a different meaning to an already existing word. Some of these words are scams on the entire human race, making us weak, soft and escapist. Motivation is one such word. It is one word that has made so many of us blame our escapist behaviours on something else rather than stand up to bring the change within. Just by saying - I don't have the motivation - we are trying to shift the blame onto something else besides our laziness or escapist behaviour. Trigger is another word with a new meaning. A few decades back trigger was just something on a gun. Today everything triggers everyone, making us softer than soft toys, crying or getting anxiety over anything anyone says. Coming back to motivation. The self help books hoax is another stupidity trying to mint money off gullible people. How is it a self help book, if you need to read what someone else writes to introspect or bring change in your own life. Self help com...
