What the f**k. How dumb can he be a lot of fights end by way of knockout due to an elbow. That's my favorite way to finish. I think what he should have said was that those guys don't have the ability to finish with the elbow.

=========

Is it?


Example: In the Bujinkan we actually do not have any strict rules regarding what to wear in a Dojo. You can appear at the Hombu or at any of the Shihan´s Dojo without the Uwagi and no one is gonna say nothing to you. So, you can assume that there isn´t any strict rule regarding this subject.

Now my question: Is it ok for a Shidoshi to do things in a different way and actually force the students to wear the uwagi? Is it ok to a Shidoshi, representing the Bujinkan, to create rules that the Bujinkan itself hasn´t create until now?

Are some people just born with cartilage that will degrade over time?
Is it not a matter of genetics but more a factor of poor training practice?
Is it only really a result of traumatic injury?
Is there any medical procedure to repair this damage once it has been done?
If not, are cortizone injections the only way to temporarily deaden the pain to function for strenuous activity?

With the economy in a rut and Holidays just around the corner, you may wonder when is the right time to open a school.

In actuality it is the best time.

Why?

1. Economy in a down turn can equal better lease/buy options for possible locations. We may move our school to a different location simply because we can get a better rate. That cost savings equals better cash flow for existing schools. For new businesses, this means that you are going to get better pricing and negotiating on locations simply because there is less demand right now to start a business.

2. Holidays usually mean people are out shopping. If your school is in a location next to other retail stores, there is a good opportunity that walk by traffic will generate new leads and buzz about your school. Added traffic will turn into new business later.

3. It is an excellent opportunity to lock in new students for the first of the year. You can sell gift certificates, trial memberships or beginners classes up front. This provides you with up front capital to continue to market your school and a chance to meet people who will talk about your school to others.

4. Starting a school now allows you to get public attention. Opening a school is a newsworthy event. Follow this up with community outreach, food drives, self defense demonstrations, talks with civic organizations will help you drum up new business.

5. Opportunity for Holiday related promotions. You can give away Turkeys or cool Christmas gifts as a draw for students to a trial membership.

6. Internal marketing to new and existing students. This is an excellent opportunity to buy an XBOX or Wii and set it up as a give away. Students (kids and the young at heart) will want these items. Set up a drawing to win the console if they bring in a friend to try a class. For every friend they bring in to try a class, they get an entry to win the console. The more friends they bring in, the more of an opportunity they have to win. This is a very cheap form of advertising that creates a tremendous amount of buzz for your school.

7. This time of year, people expect free give-aways. Put up some lead boxes around your town and check them once a week. If you are starting a school, this is an excellent source of contacts that will help you get on your feet.

This is just some of the ideas that could get you off and running your new school today.

To all your success!

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - The UFC 59 fight poster read "Reality Check", and for five minutes, it certainly was for Forrest Griffin, who was battered for much of the opening stanza of his 2006 bout on the card by a man who had reigned over the light heavyweight division longer than anyone else in UFC history, Tito Ortiz. -

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - "Where's Forrest?"Missing in action for a few days last month, Forrest Griffin was suddenly a wanted man when Mark Coleman got injured and was forced to withdraw from his UFC 106 bout with Tito Ortiz. But the former UFC light heavyweight champion was nowhere to be found. -

In one of his books Lee says something about how strengthening the muscles of the neck makes a fighter more resistant to being knocked out?

If this is true I'm very interested in the scientific explanation.

Is unconsciousness simply caused by a sudden violent motion of the head?

And if not...why would a stronger neck make a difference? ]]> Jeet Kune Do Discussion Forum Telfer http://www.defend.net/deluxeforums/jeet-kune-do-discussion-forum/35139-strength-neck.html http://www.defend.net/deluxeforums/ufc-news/35138-parisyan-out-ufc-106-bout-hazelett-off.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:00:23 GMT Parisyan is out of UFC 106; Bout with Hazelett Off
