And when disaster or illness strikes, and we lose the fancy trappings that our society holds up as important, the things on that little girl's list are the ones we are most glad to be left with!

The Half Push Up
I also could not do even one proper push-up when I began training. I had taken many years of Yoga training in my youth though, and knew well the importance of proper alignment and position to avoid getting hurt and gain the benefit of the exercise. The sensei always just told me to do the best I cou...

Finger Nails Q & A
I have had plenty of experience with girls and women and their nails throughout my training and long career in the Music field. You want to play the violin? You must cut your nails, male or female, you just can't get anywhere on violin if you don't play in tune because you won't cut your nails. Same...

Don't Fight Back - Dispelling a Myth
In 1975 I was in my first year of University and just beginning to find out how hard I would have to work to overcome both the influences of my conditioning and the strictures and attitudes of our culture in order to make it in what was formerly considered to be a 'man's world.' It has already taken...

Cologne, perfume, deorderant, lotion, make-up.
Well I guess I must be an extreme case then, and sure, my life would totally be a nightmare if I allowed it to be one. I must live in complete isolation in order to survive, and lucky for me I live in an 'old-fashioned' wooden house on the pristine coast of British Columbia that has never been 'upgr...

Cologne, perfume, deorderant, lotion, make-up.
Few perfumes or fragranced products on the market these days are made of natural compounds. Our indoor air is made more and more toxic by consumers' growing use of the myriad of chemically based scented products lining the store shelves. Multinational Petrochemical Corporations only get richer if th...

Strange Letter!!
Well I think you guys are reading a tiny bit too much into this letter. After 20+ years as a High School teacher, this letter has all the signs of being produced by a fairly ordinary 13 to 15 year old who was frightened in some way by the individual mentioned. Kids who don't know who to turn to usua...

Ancient Women Warriors
Dana, Thank-you for posting those links. Some fascinating reading in there. I really enjoy this forum as a whole. It is one of the few places on the internet that actually has women posting on topics pertaining to female Martial Artists. Keep up the good work! Respectfully, _(_)_ Tunetigress

Women as Martial Arts Instructors
I would like to point out that not only female instructors, but also female practitioners in training, could have their efforts and accomplishments minimized simply because they are female. I have had extensive personal experience in this regard, and find myself frequently confronted by expressions ...

Women and men make different fists
2Green, thanks so much for your excellent posting of the detailed fist description! Jules (my trainer) and I have found this thread to be of profound benefit to us. We are really thinking now, not only about how we train ourselves, but also training our own daughters, and the other young girls we wo...

Gi Tops Off
Akil Todd, thanks for clarifying the gi top issue for me. I am a student of Kenpo Karate, and we do not have any Uechi-Ryu dojos anywhere around this neck of the woods, (west coast of Canada) and I am unfamiliar with the traditions of your style. I truly appreciate being able to be a part of this fo...

Shoulder impingement
I agree with Candan's advice to you Troll. I have been using an RMT for regular massage therapy for a long time now, and it really helps. You definitely should consider some ongoing professional treatment, and a Physiotherapist will have extensive experience in bursitis conditions. In the meantime, ...
