Where can i find instructions for making a sword sheathe?
i have 3 wooden practice swords and i want a sheathe for them that i can make with stuff lying around the house. when i make side or back sheathes, they hold the sword in an akward position that the sword is NOT suposed to be in. please help me. i have a katana, a tai chi, and a longsword
Where can i find instructions for making a sword sheathe?
you should contact someone in the sca in your local area and join, you would love it and there are lots of people there who can help you, just put SCA into a web search and then look for your area of the country, canada and many other countries are included. enjoy.
Reply:What is the point of that? It is simply not appropriate (and highly disrespectful I might add) to practice the draw or the draw and cut with a wooden sword. Those swords are for live work with a human being (so you can practice without killing them). They can also be a weapon all their own but of a different character. But for Iaido, the art of carry, draw and cut, you use a real sword.
Those other swords are not real swords. You might disagree but if it ever came down to it you would simply be killed.

Which style of karate is best for me?
I'm looking to take up the martial arts, but I'm looking for a style that combines a good amount of meditation (Tai Chi style) and at the same time an excellent, full workout on muscular strength and flexibility.
Any suggestions?
Also, does anyone have a good place that matches this, in NYC?
Which style of karate is best for me?
Most Traditional Martial Arts will have a meditative or spiritual aspect to it; but what you focus on putting into it, you'll get it in return, and all martial arts will give you a ceratin degree of workout with your muscular system as well as a good source of cardio and endurance training.
the discipline doesn't matter, it's the frequency and quality of your training that will allow you to improve, and not the difference in disciplines.
as far as flexibility is concerned, you have to train at it to gain flexibility through stretching and continue to train to keep the flexibility as you will lose some flexibility over time but very little.
Reply:Tang Soo!
good to hear from fellow Moo Duk Kwan practitioners
Good luck in progressing your Martial Arts knowledge with whatever discipline you choose, I myself have taken up Hapkido to make myself a more well rounded Martial Artist Report It
Reply:I'm a black belt in Wado Kai and it is very good for both...make sure you have a reputable teacher.
Reply:Ninjitsu
Reply:I do have a good place in NYC that does match this as far as training goes, however any meditative art is not likely going to teach you to fight or fitness. I'll email you the information because He is in semi-retirement now and the only contact information I have is a phone number and address.
EDIT: To the poster below. Can you send me the info about the Tai Chi guy in the bronx? I'm not interested in becoming his student but It always interests me to see someone who can actually apply tai chi properly, I have only met one instructor to ever do so and am curious. It isn't Novell is it? I wasn't aware he taught tai chi if it is him.
Reply:Tai Chi doesn't have to be a meditative form of martial arts.
There used to be a gorgeous, peaceful guy named Jose Figueroa who taught Tai Chi course at Wave Hill in the Bronx on Saturdays. I asked him did he teach real martial arts rather than Tai Chi. He said Tai Chi is a real martial arts and showed the moves in fast motion, which blew my mind. I went on the website and another instructor teaches there now.
What about Capoeira? You need a lot of strength and agility for that form.
Reply:Please be aware that all karate's are martial arts but not all martial arts are karate.
I highly recommend that you seek a good place to train instead of a good style. Do not put too much emphasis on style.
Also if all you want is a meditation and a workout, most of your local gyms should be able to provide this. A martial art is not needed to achieve these ends.Taking a martial art offers one more detail that you are not mentioning, self-defense. If you really don't have interest in self-defense you may quickly grow weary of your training.
Reply:Any traditional style should meet your needs. It's not the style, it's the school %26amp; the instructor. Talk to the instructor before signing up. In our Tae Kwon Do organization, we have both meditation %26amp; physical workouts, but, unfortunately, we don't have any schools in the NYC area.
Good luck
Reply:As I've experienced thus far most karate styles lack a good amount of meditation. usually it will get you fit though. the Chinese internal martial arts like Tao Chi, Bagua and Xing Yi integrate martial, health and meditative aspects. They can be practiced into old age. Check out the 100 year old man performing a Bagua sword form on youtube! It's difficult to find good teachers though. Apart from their knowledge and their ability to transfer their knowledge to students there are a lot of people who start teaching after a 10 day course in Tai Chi for example. If you want to combine fitness, meditation and gain an ability to defend yourself Bagua could be your thing. I know of two teachers in NYC; a guy called the Black Taoist and Frank Allen. Don't know their credentials, but you can find them on the net.

Can anyone give any first hand knowledge of the benefits of FENG SHUI...???
i received a mailing from a woman who is touted as being a great great feng shui-er; there were many comments from satisfied customers giving glorified comments regarding received benefits... promised better health, better relationship, better life in general... im a ny'er so im cynical, but i like to believe that there is something to these ancient eastern arts like YOGA, FENG SHUI, QI GONG, TAI CHI...etc...
also if anyone has any favorite books on the subect that'd be way cool... happy holidays all
Can anyone give any first hand knowledge of the benefits of FENG SHUI...???
there is no book or website that tell all about what fengshui is about. most info that is out there is about clack hat fengshui or clearing clutter fengshui, which is not what most chinese fengshui masters use.
i learned fengshui from a couple of chinese masters. and fengshui is really about the fengshui concepts and techniques. it starts as chi having qualities of yin and yang, then from there, the different concepts are derived, from where the techniques are taken.
remember that fengshui is not a belief, not a religion, not a philosophy. and you don't need to be psychic to learn fengshui. you just need a luo pan or a common compass. though a luo pan is more than a compass, because each ring on the compass represents a technique. so when you understand and know how to use th luo pan, you basically know fengshui.
there is a book that teaches flying stars called A Master Course in Feng-shui by Eva Wong (ISBN: 1-57062-584-0): this book just teaches 1 technique; get the second edition as it has more exercises at the back of the book.
you need to understand that different masters have different takes on the same concept. and msot authors do not write about the real purpose or secret use of a concept/ technique.
ms. lillian too is a good writer, but she is no fengshui master. she learned fengshui from yap cheng hai. but both are offering fengshui courses around the world. why learn from an amateur, when you can learn from the master?
if you are interested in attending fegnshui seminars, do research on the person teaching fengshui, regarding his/ her experiences in fengshui. the more they are exposed in the fengshui consulting business, the better. and not all fengshui seminars are expensive. try www.fengshuisos.com
Reply:well...I personally believe practices like Feng Shui are best when you study them %26amp; jump in %26amp; do it yourself...maybe have a skilled practicioner guide you a wee bit. But, I think the most benifit comes from learning %26amp; experinceing the effects for yourself...I organize my room according to the princples of Feng Shei %26amp; it gives me a sense of organazation... knowing where everything is...%26amp; freedom to move things around %26amp; see the diffrernce in how the space feels... it just generally makes me more aware %26amp; presenet to my daily life.

Is there an arts/music scene in Kuwait?
I've been reading about Kuwait, and all accounts depict it as a modern country with lots of shopping, cinemas, etc. I'm aware that alcohol is illegal -- that doesn't bother me. Do the coffee shops ever have live music? Is there any culture besides going to the movies? Live theater? Dance? Art exhibits? If I take my guitar, will I have the opportunity to connect with other musicians to play music? I looked at the websites for Kuwait Univ. and American Univ. in Kuwait -- no programs in fine arts or music! What about yoga or tai chi classes -- anything like that? I'm interested in these kinds of activities because I am an artsy-alternative-minded person soon moving to Kuwait for the next few years. How would I best connect with like-minded people?

Why do most Catholics?
Say they are Christian, but then accept like Yoga and Tai Chi and other practices that the Bible clearly forbids.
This one Catholic lady was telling me all about alternative medicine and Chinese medicine. I was like "let me out of here!"....
I mean, why not just start practicing vodoo too?
Why do most Catholics?
The caths are into purgatory and Mary's perpetual virginity. Neither are Biblical.
Reply:I feel so very sorry for you....
First, show me where in the bible it says "Thou shall not do Chinese medicine."
Second, do you seriously not know the difference between yoga and voodoo?
You will be in my prayers.
Reply:We do NOT accept Yoga and Tai Chi.
That lady was a whackjob.
And how can you talk to one deluded lady and translate that into "Most Catholics"?
Reply:WTF? The bible does not condem yoga, come on! running out of anti-catholic stuff already?
I have no clue what tai chi is though.
Reply:the bible doesnt ban those things.
correct me if im wrong.
Reply:Because most religious people are the same.... they pick and choose what they want to do.... even if it means practicing the new "trendy" thing from another religion/culture against the "rules" of the religion/culture they are involved with.
Reply:catholicism+ voodoo= Santeria right?
Reply:Ummm, correct me if I'm wrong but Yoga and Tai Chi were never mentioned in the Bible. How can it "clearly forbid" something that it doesn't mention?
And, seriously, if you think that learning self-defense (Tai Chi) or learning effective methods for relaxation (Yoga) are one step away from "voodoo" you must be one stressed out person.
Reply:You are using the word most again you really need to control your love of this abused word, most Catholics do not accept yoga or Tai Chi and other practices that the Bible forbids, having said that you people love to ask us to show you were a certain word is mentioned in the bible i.e Pope or Immaculate conception etc, so can you tell me were the word Rapture is printed in the bible,or the so called phrase` Once saved always saved`?
I wont even mention tai chi or yoga;
Reply:Yoga and Tai Chi, practiced solely as exercise is not forbidden. The only problem is when yoga and tai chi are ususally taught along with eastern religion.
Alternative and Chinese medicines are also forbidden? Does this mean that all persons who were treated with nonpharmaceutical medicines prior to the 20th century are damned?
Reply:Not a Catholic here, but where in the Bible does it say that? Also, why would anyone follow a book of myths that is so flawed, and you still want to live your life by that? The Bible can not even get the story of Jesus to be the same or even close.
Reply:Because they have health benefits. My gosh, things have progressed since the biblical times. Coincidentally, I wouldn't drink any form of tea or eat any type of herb or seasoning. You might be accused of the doing the very same stuff.
Reply:The Catholic dogma and ordinances in general are against the original laws of Moses. I don't see anywhere in the New Testament where ideas of other cultures is forbidden. Egyptian medicine was used by the Jews and Gentiles of the time.
To narrow your mind to be completely prejudiced against other societies and cultures would be AGAINST the New Testament. Paul was specifically sent out to teach and to learn.
Those Nuns must have slapped your hands too hard with a ruler.
Reply:I've read the Bible and I don't recall it forbidding alternative medicine or Chinese medicine.
It also doesn't mention Yoga or Tai Chi.
I'm guessing you know very little about Yoga, Tai Chi or alternative medicine.
also, the Bible says parents should kill their daughters if they fornicate, that people shouldn't eat shellfish, that women shouldn't adorn themselves with jewelry or speak in church, and all manner of other things that even Christians today have the common sense to ignore.
Each Christian has their own "comfort zone" regarding what sorts of practices they can engage in with a clear conscience. This issue is addressed in the New Testament when Paul talks about some eating meat and others not. And he characterizes it as a "weakness in faith" on the part of those who believe certain things are not allowable and asks the others to bear with those weaker ones and not make them stumble.
So, you should probably direct your spiritual energies toward your own relationship with God and focus on your own boundaries, rather than trying to dictate the terms by which other Christians should live.
Reply:You are obviously one of those people that believes everything that your spiritual leader tells you and have not checked things out yourself. This is the definition of a sheep.
When you pray, it is a form of meditation that I have heard people say is of the devil. Knowlege is a great thing, lack of it is scary. I would be very interested to see what your concepts are about Yoga, Tai Chi and Voodoun. True knowledge is the key that unlocks the door to enlightenment.
Reply:Tai chi and yoga are just physical exercises and they have nothing to do with faith as far as Catholics are concerned. You won't hear them chanting in Sanskrit. Our church also hosts the WIC program, a government program for mothers with small children, but they are merely providing the facilities.
Some Catholics have a life beyond religion. There's nothing sacred about Western pharmacology. If Chinese medicine works for some people, why not let them use it? It doesn't make them Buddhists.
Some Evangelical Christians tend to confuse appearances with reality. The parish is not endorsing the non-religious activities, only providing facilities for people who need them. It's a form of loving one's neighbor. It would not provide them for a group that was truly antithetical to Christianity.
Reply:exactly where does the bible forbid yoga, tai chi or alternative medicine.
this attitude is the reason european culture was held back by a dogmatic, distorted view of christianity for millenia
Reply:It is a fact that some Protestants do the same things........and this is an abomination in God's eyes. Christians who delve into this stuff are badly deceived, may God have mercy on them.

Alternative medicines are no problem, either...it's when you start messing in New Age practices like "stones" haveing healing powers- THEN you are getting out of line with Catholic teachings.

Stress, how to physically relax?
I have a stressful daycare job, it's both physical and mental stress. Physically I'm picking up heavy children while they are kicking and screaming. Mentally I'm dealing with children screaming, unhappy parents, co-workers, and boss. I have no time to exercise, although I have tried tai chi.
Stress, how to physically relax?
There are some techniques you should definitely try for stress relief:
%26gt; Practice deep breathing- a search on the net should show you the technique for this. It is proven to relax, physically.
%26gt; When you have a moment, imagine relaxing scenarios, like a beach or a forest- anything that gives you a good feeling.
%26gt; Call a friend or family member, even just to listen to their answering machines- by hearing their voice studies have shown that you will automatically start to physically relax.
Hopefully some of those tips help you. Good luck!
Reply:A relaxing bath, some soothing music, meditation, prayer, deep breathing exercises, a 20 min walk. These are some of the things i do to relax and also important to make time for yourself just doing nothing. Good luck and God bless
Reply:There are a lot of really good articles on these subjects at ( http://www.reducingstress.net ) They have whole sections on how stress relates to work and kids.

Honey please talk to your mom or an adult that you trust or even me (I can help) about what's going on. Please realize that even though things seem really bad right now there is always a light at the end of the tunnel and believe me there are millions of people who have it way worse than you. Taking your own life is quitting just giving up and life is too short to do this. You have to learn to bob and weave when life throws blows. Be strong and take care. Please let me know if you would like to talk I personally have been through more things than you could ever imagine and instead of letting these things bring me to my knees I have allowed them to make me a better and stronger woman. Please let me know so I can give you my email address.... Stay strong and focused and please try to eat something it will make you feel alot better.
Reply:Get a grip of yourself. There is a way out of everything
Reply:There's ALWAYS a way out of everything! Just listen to some music, and think of positive things. Go for a walk and clear your mind. If you need any other help, just talk to me =)
Reply:I'm sorry for the situation you're going through; but yeah, you should go see a counsellor or a doctor. Good luck!
Reply:i think maybe you should call a rap line in your area and talk to them about how you feel. you should also consider seeing a counselor or a Doctor. there are lots of medications to help depression. as for the eating, try to at least get something in your stomach. without food, you have no energy.
Reply:wo wo wo what the hell
1.stop with the cutting obviously you dont want to die because you wouldnt be askin for help.
2.try and eat force it down
3.go and see your doctor tell him/her what your feeling and your situation and will give you some good advice
please stay away from sharp stuff
Reply:DO NOT KILL YOURSELF!!! This too shall pass.
Reply:Like you, I had many negative remarks from my parents when I was young, it could have ruined my life, but I didn't seek death, as often as I sought happiness.
I was shy as a direct result of my father being unable to praise me for anything I did as a child, any school work I took home was a waste of time, and when I started beating him at games of draughts (checkers in USA) he simply stopped playing with me.
My father told me other people were only after my money, but my desire for happiness had me pay out £17.50p for a course which taught me how to value myself, how to be what I wanted to be, how to be self confident, and how to be happy, I have never looked back since.
Seek happiness rather than an escape, and no one, not even your mother will be able to hurt you, when you find it.
Reply:hey sweetie, if things get bad with your mam just remember shes only trying her best, youll understand one day! just take yourself off for a walk or something or what i do is write it down even if you just rip it up and throw it away. sounds odd but it does work.
you do need to stop cutting yourself, its not a road you want to go down.if you feel angry go to your gym and kick the hell out of a punch bag!!
make your self eat! maybe a little toast, or some soup. even just a banana or something start little and try something bigger.
sounds like you need a few friends if your "friends" are fobbing you off and trying to pinch your boyfriend. talk to him about your friend, see what he says. shes maybe just being over friendly, but then maybe not!!
you can go to the doctors your self with out your mam, she doesnt need to know. the doctor is not allowed to tell your mam anything. too many parents dont tell their children that. if you feel like you need help, go dont be affraid.
if you need someone to talk to im here if you ever need to hun.
take care of yourself xx

Reply:Drop what ever you are doing and FIND a number that can give you anon help if you can not see someone.
Then, you need to find a way to see someone. You're mother will not kill you. She will be upset or feel that is her fault in some way, but she will not kill you. And in the end this isn't about HER, it's about YOU. YOU need some help, not HER. Its a big step to take, but worth taking.
Trust me sweet pea, I spent 4 days in a psych ward over it. It's not worth it. Stand up for yourself and get what you deserve.
Reply:for a start You Are NOT stupid, go for a walk and count chimneys, your not alone I've got scars and fag burns on me form when i felt suicidal go to your doctor or hospital and ask to speak to someone if no one will listen, their are also community mental health teams. you might be looking to much into your best friends intentions, and your mother might not realise how you feel. befor going to bed each night make a list of what your go ing to do the next day and do it.

Non judgmental and independent of the authority. Self referral to them is the normal way.
Good Luck things will sort themselves out I am sure. Take care you are better than this you can beat it.
Reply:okay this is bad, but you don't need me telling you that.
you shouldn't be cutting yourself but you are. if you really feel the need to do it again, at least prepare some essentials to treat the cut first. taking the time to layout a clean knife, a cloth to stop the bleeding, antiseptic and a bandage will often bring the reality of what you are planning to do into a very clear light. if this still doesn't stop you at least you are prepared for the worst.
you need to eat something, so try hot soup or cup-a-soup, weetabix with warm milk or just some bread and butter. they're not that hard to face and stay down real easy.
ask your friend to back off a little bit, say that you're feeling very vunerable right now and that you feel she's encrouching on the relationship with your boyfriend. you're going to need her support and if she doesn't understand this maybe you shouldn't associate yourself with her.
as for this relationship with your mother, she needs to step off and realise that you have a problem. she's your mother for god's sake! she should be the one person who wants more than anything to make sure you get better. talk to her about all of this because she will find out one way or the other. she has to notice that somethings up, especially when cuts start regularly appearing.
lastly go to your doctor and ask about your options. there's no obligation to do what they suggest but at least you are more informed.
if the talk with your mum doesn't go well then get yourself to your nearest hospital. tell them you're suicidal and they'll put you in one of the wards. they'll also be able to make arrangements for you to stay in a shelter if life at home is too much. distance yourself from her for a while and let her think about how her actions have affected your relationship. if she doesn't come to you and apologise for making you feel bad then you don't need her in your life right now.
get yourself better and then start to repair things with her.
i had a similar experience where my mum told me depression was just my excuse for being lazy. i haven't spoken to her since the beginning of the year and although this makes me sad sometimes, i know it's for the best. she was constantly a cause of stress and now i don't have to deal with it. i plan to patch things up with her eventually but not until she understands what i'm going through and i'm in a condition to explain it to her.
oh quick question, how does your dad feel about all this if he's around?
