Sempai Raluca Jianu, black belt in Kyokushinkay, had another participation at a word championship on April of this year.Unfortunately for her she lost balance when executing her form "Ghekusai Sho"and did not match her last performance when she won the world tournament.
She confessed it was one of the most victorious days of her life. She learm how to lose and we all know it is harder then wining.
To all practitioners i recommend competitions because vining or not we still learn valuable lessons.

The power of "NOW"

Many times in life we hear about how important is to live in the present moment.
All masters and enlightened talk about in. How many times do you find yourself lost in the past or angry because of it, daydreaming or inentionatly trying to kill your own time. But this are moment that will never come back to you , they are lost, without you knowing that they evan existed.
You can change that, you can live every moment truly and intensely with the power of now, Be in the present , be aware of yourself and your life will change. How? you will see, Try it. Just for a moment live , be there, smell, feel, bee aware.
Learn from the past, create a great future , but the moment you live in is the only thing you got. Make it best , because each "now" you live will fill your life in an amazing way.
If it would be to freeze a moment for eternity, would it be "now"?

In primary freedom, one utilizes all ways,and is bound by none...

This is the philosophy of Guru Dan Inosanto lider of the Inosanto Martial Arts Academy(Philiphino based Martial Art). He is a student of Bruce Lee and well known in the Hollywood world.
His students call him a Guru witch means the one who teaches others and he truly lives up to the name.

On Jan 12-Th I participated to one of his 6 hours long seminar hosted in Denver. We started the worm up with a 6 move combination. At age 71 he is a living legend. His precision in moves and technique , balance and speed , number of combinations(we did about 100 in 6 hours)is impressive.It was an mentally challenging six hours starting with punching and kicking, take down, ground defense, escrima sticks, knifes etc. He gives out 8 combinations at a time and luckily if we remember one.And that's what he wanted, us to be able to filter what is best for our body. It is truly hard to describe the entuziasm and the mental challenge but i am so happy i had the chanse to experience it.
Between his advises i can number some: be open minded about martial arts, each stile have something to offer, learn from everyone(teacher ,students, friends ,parents),
be adaptable in life,do mistakes but not the same many times,use the technique that is best for you, be disciplined and obedient.
If anybody have a chance to come across his seminars or teachings I highly recommend it.
