The Unbelievable and Not To Be Denied Golden Sphere

By Al Case

Every once in a while somebody in the martial arts will touch upon The Golden Sphere. Aikido is big on this theory, as is Pa Kua Chang, and Tai Chi Chuan done resolutely will, eventually, create The Golden Sphere. And even the basest and coarsest of arts, such as Tae Kwon Do and Karate, will, done long enough and with enough attention to detail, and with sufficient eye to the virtues of humanity, result in The Golden Sphere.

Most people, unfortunately, dont know of The Golden Sphere, have not heard of it, and are not blessed with even the rudimentary knowledge of how to attain it. Yet the Golden Sphere is nothing but an casement of energy, a glow manufactured and sustained, and the rules for that attaining are simplicity in itself. Indeed, with a bare outlining of the basics necessary, any one of any art could attain it, though, to be honest, it is easier if one has acquired all the knowledge, and studied all the arts.

First and foremost is the grounding of your body, which is a machine. You must undertake a severe and deliberate study of stances, through all potential ranges of motion. You must course the energy down and up the legs, learning when to brace against the ground, and when to push against it.

Second and equally important is the glow of the energy center. This energy center is called the tan tien, or the One Point. This energy center is actually an energy generator, and you must breath as if to it, center your awareness on it, cause it to glow from the excitation of energy running up and down the legs, make it work.

Third, most important of all, one must learn how to relax while doing the martial arts. If one is not relaxed, then energy is not concentrated in the tan tien, but rather dissipated throughout the body to points that are not relaxed. In other words, energy is locked up by points of the body that are not relaxed.

Now, you are breathing, grounding, focusing, and creating truckloads of energy inside the center of the body. This will cause you to glow, regardless of any wish or desire to the contrary--and, to be honest, only a fool would not want to glow. So liberate this energy, course it through the arms by doing forms, and like sparklers on a dark night, encapsualte your body with imaginations of geometric configurations, and let that energy surround you, protect you, and yet not bar you from the world, but rather open you to a different world, a world beyond senses, a world of ethereal perfection.

Eventually, as you practice endlessly and without thought of time or other such mundane limitations, you become art. You become the unique and special individual you are. One thing that will help unlimit you, and increase your progress in this quest a hundred fold, is to study what virtue is, and how to manifest it in your life.

It is easy to do if you do your forms with attention to the details I have outlined here, if you just get out of your way and do it. It is easy if you put aside the temporary problems of the world, deal them efficiently and quickly, and concentrate your life on this planet to what really matters, the creation and evolution of art. I advise you then, do what I have laid out for you here, and...and to do it through the accumulation and practice of as many arts as you can, for to seek The Golden Sphere through but one art is slow, to seek it through understanding all is The True Way.

Gay Tours to France

By Howie Holben

Whether as a stop on a tour through Europe, or a standalone vacation destination, France offers travelers world-renowned beaches, snow-covered alps, bucolic countryside dotted with castles and remnants of Frances long history, some of the most amazing art collections in the world, the fabulous French Riviera and, of course, the truly exceptional, unique city of Paris.

While visitors on planning gay travel tend to stay around Paris to enjoy the accepting atmosphere that Paris is known for, while experiencing the heart of Frances LGBT culture and visiting the citys famous cultural and historical landmarks, travelers will find that Paris accepting atmosphere extends across the country and there are plenty of LGBT establishments and things to see and do no matter where you travel in France. For over 200 years, Frances community has enjoyed life without anti-sodomy laws, and civil unions have been commonplace for the last decade. With both the law and the laissez-faire attitude common among the French on their side, LGBT travelers will find France an enjoyable gay travel destination.

Visitors will find a number of community festivals and events taking place throughout the year in different parts of the country, including pride celebrations in many cities, a gay and lesbian film festival in Paris and Paris world-famous pride festival and parade. A gay vacation in Paris should also include a stop at the Legay Choc bakery in the Marais district, as well as the collection of male images at ArtMenParis and the female impersonation cabaret shows at LArtishow, Madame Arthur and Chez Michou. Paris nightlife often starts early with bars opening in the afternoon, followed by clubs opening around midnight and thumping the night away, often until noon.

For men in search of the bawdier side of gay vacations in Paris, sex clubs, bars with backrooms and popular cruising spots are readily available. There are also plenty of saunas (bathhouses) to choose from; however, French saunas operate differently than what some travelers might be accustomed to in Canada or America. In France, saunas have relaxation cubicles rather than private rooms for rent and visiting saunas is largely an afternoon activity, with Sunday afternoons being the most popular time.

Lesbian travelers often find that gay travel destinations are filled with bars, clubs and saunas for the men, with barely a hint of lesbian presence to be found; however, this is definitely not the case in Paris, where women will find a delightful blend of groups and venues dedicated to lesbians. From walking groups to sex shops that cater solely to women, Paris has much to offer to the womens community. Paris is home to several clubs and bars located in varied neighborhoods, including the Palais Royal, Saint Germain des Pres, Grands Boulevards and Halles-Beaubourg districts, as well as many options in the Marais neighborhood, known as the center of LGBT life in Paris. One of Paris first lesbian bars can be found in the Palais Royal district and the Bastille-Republique neighborhood is home to a community bookshop.

Although Paris might be the most visited gay tours destination in France, many other options are available throughout the country, including Avignon in Provence, Montpellier and Nice on the Mediterranian coast, Annecy in the Alps, Nantes in Brittany and the nude community beaches of Camargue. For those who hope to rub elbows with the rich and famous, Saint Tropez on the French Riviera should not be missed, while those looking for a romantic retreat might opt for an LGBT-owned B & B outside of Bourdeaux. With so many gay travel options to choose from, France is truly an ideal setting for a gay holidays package.

Taido - a Dynamic Martial Art

By Bill Williams

Karate master, Seiken Shukumine created Taido as a modern martial art.

Taido has its roots in classical Okinawan Budo. Sensing that the martial arts, particularly karate, were failing to meet the needs of the post-War era, Shukumine founded a school of Karate called Genseiryu in 1953.

After ten years of teaching Genseiryu, Shukumine saw karate as uninspired and dead. He determined that the limitations of karate lay in its linearity. In 1965, he expanded his theories of motion beyond the confines of what could be considered karate and founded Taido.

Shukumine meditated on how to make defense movements more adaptable and applicable. Taido's movements offered many innovations: the inclusion of spinning and twisting movements, acrobatic maneuvers, fast and effective footwork, and a changing body angle. The word Taido translates as "art of the body."

So what makes Taido different from karate? Taido techniques employ changes of the body's bearing in order to facilitate simultaneous defense and kicking techniques. Taido also emphasizes the use of footwork to take advantageous angles and distance to the opponent. This footwork is functionally connected to the body mechanics that launch each kick, punch, or other technique. Taido uses exciting body movement to create powerful strikes and determine the spatial relationship with the opponent.

Taido's thought process is based on appropriate responses to changing situations rather than preset algorithms of offensive maneuvers and defense. Taido's movements are also designed for promoting health and longevity.

Taido's original ideal was, and continues to be, the application of scientific thought and traditional values to the improvement of the martial arts. According to its founder, Taido's ultimate goal is to enable its practitioners to function at a high level in society.

There are five main rules in Taido. Keep your thoughts as clear and calm as the reflective surface of a mirror. This allows you to understand the reality of your environment. Having the correct state of mind will help you make the best decisions. Be composed. Body and spirit must be united. Hold yourself with dignity and you need never feel inferior. fill your spirit from the source of energy deep in your abdomen. With the right frame of mind you will never be threatened. In every action, follow the principles you have practiced. By doing so, you react quickly. Be adaptable in your thought and keep freedom of physical movement. The right methods will prevent you from being defeated.

Taido makes use of five classes of body movements: vertical spinning movement, rising and falling wave-like movement, lever-like movement achieved by tilting the body's axis, horizontal spinning movement, and acrobatic movements.

These movements are connected with strikes, kicks, and other techniques. The last category, called "tentai," includes gymnastic movements, for instance somersaults, which makes Taido spectacular to watch. Taido has a unique kind of footwork, which is called unsoku, and acrobatic locomotion, termed unshin.

Tournaments in Taido include Jissen, forms, and Tenkai, which is a pre-arranged combat between one "hero" and five opponents. In Tenkai the judges give scores to the players in a similar manner as is done in many Olympic sports.

Even after this explanation, unless you've actually experienced Taido, you probably still won't have any solid idea of what Taido is about. Also, just seeing the techniques doesn't tell you what Taido is intended for. To truly grok any martial art, you have to get an idea of why the techniques are performed as they are.

Of course, Taido is changing martial art, so no definition can really encapsulate everything that Taido is. Each student eventually develops their own ways to apply Taido to what they do and how they move. Taido itself emphasizes creativity and the development of new techniques. It is not a martial art that will remain the same for long.

Taido is currently practiced in Japan, Sweden, Finland, Portugal, Denmark, France, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Australia, and the USA.

Prior to the acquisition by Gibson, Epiphone left and right guitars were a rival to Gibson. The sound quality was magnificent, the materials were the same and the electronics were just as superior. If Epiphone had not been absorbed by Gibson, I am sure the company would have either rivaled or bypassed Gibson eventually.

The controls and knobs to be oriented is the same for a right hand guitar which is important. Epiphone left hand instruments provide this detail perfectly.

The most famous Epiphone left hand guitars is the left handed Casino hollow body, it is a beauty, looks like a Gretsch and was responsible for the Beatles famous sound in the 1960's.
