LeDoux was positive about the possibility of learning to control 'the amygdala's hair-trigger role in emotional outbursts: "Once your emotional system learns something, it seems you never let it go. What therapy does is teach you how to control it - it teaches your neocortex how to inhibit your...

Agree with Vann, ... If someone tries to kick me I'm taking the legs out.. If someone is a good puncher, they won't be for long!! I want their best weapons, and I want them Yesterday!! Then I will play with them... :D :D :D But I do agree with Bill about the "operant Conditioning"... It's ...

I like this Gentleman's Sanseiryu... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugczXIR57ec

I'll comment.. Hope his sparring is better than Kata..LMAO!!!

K Glenn... I'll give this one a stab.. Todi is an Okinawan Hogan term.. The decintigration of Okinawan Hogan is more from Government Sponsorship than actual preference... I'll leave the rest of it to you to figure out..

STEVIE B FOR DICTATOR AND CHIEF!!!!!

FREE AWAMORI FOR ALL UECHIKA FOREVER!!!!!

Glenn.. That may be another story as well.. The guy I refer to has long hair worn in a ponytail and swings them on the end of a chain.. I admire him for his dedication (but I.Q. not so much...LOL) Keep resisting that urge!!! :lol: Take up the Bo.. Much more effective to help your Karate training and...

That's a smart way to look at knife training..Bill, please check out Van's post on Power Breathing.. I'm interested to hear your views on it.. Thanks Steve

Everyone I have known to work with these things have suffered bad injuries from them!! ( That includes the "Kama Master" in Okinawa who lopped off half of his ear swinging them around) :lol: :lol: :lol: .. I see no real use for them other than a Okinawan landscape artist to slowly trim hed...

On the #1 Uechi site in Amaerica? Are there any Veteran's that that been effed over by the ones we trusted completely? K.. I'll break the ice.. What's new??

Hahahaha!!! Me thinks you right Leo!! This is why I need to pull myself back to Florida so I can run without the confinment of which year round!!! ! LMAO!!

And again.. They are pretty good at what they are doing now,, Especially on the fluidity side.. I've met plenty of "Sempai" in the USA that don't understand even that level.. My point is that they ostly show very good technique (although very slow) . They could probably show the same techn...

Hey Bill... Yes, I understand what you are saying.. I'm just used to seeing it in real time motion.. :lol: I relate with Leo's Hitormi Zumo.. I sometimes ask myself what the point is.. But then I remember Toyama Sensei coming in at 81 years old to my San Dan test and he going out and doing a strong ...

Leo.. I meant nice tecnuique for what they are trying to do..(Honestly, I thought the thing was filmed in Slow Motion, but after a second look realized it wasn't) :lol: :lol: :lol: But at least they are moving pretty much at one consistant head level and with smoothness.. They need to walk before th...

Looking good Leo!!! Nice technique!!!
