this post has got my curiosity going - gonna go checkou my local mma clubs t learn some ground fighting - s I got the stand up er... down ;-)

Hey Al

Was it the the rear naked choke holds that got ur curiosity going?

the skimpy shorts, the close sweaty men. lol.

Hey guys!
Greetings fromt he gutter!

I thought I'd just update this thread.
I've been training for about the last three weeks in MMA -- it's taken me this long to find out local and decent clubs. There are so many clubs on the web that say they are still on and actually I'm not -- bloody annoying that is.

anyway I phoned one good club that, although I have to drive from about an hour to get there -- he's very much worthwhile, and we train. About 80% to 90% exclusively on the submission fighting -- which, as I've mentioned is the area that I wanted to learn.
I realised that in my monetise training. I reached a point where I was and am merely maintaining techniques and want a new challenge and to LEARN again.

Now, the trainees hard grazes. Love my face -- last night it was a nice technique where you this great your knee over your opponents face while it into the ground and then get them in and armbar until they tap out. SWEET! Also got he best pump in ages....

So the plan is to learn th ground stuff, and i corporate it into my new hybrid style.

So thanks a bunch to this post for causin a stimulation to grow in a new way.

My deliberate obsessive nature is already kicking in.. - the rs is saying "bloody hell if it's not NLP it's this!"

THen she realises it makes me happy and i beat her and the kids far less.

The dog however still and always will get the argos book hurled at her - as well as a kick in her ass too.

It's a kind of therapy.

Well now we;re done talking aot you can we get back to me?

Good.

Now go terrorize someone - as ecologically as you can.

Best

Alan

awesome Al...thanks for the update too

Team GB got zero medals in the 9th world wushu championships in Beijing , China. Wang Xiaolin head of the International Wushu Federation said Wushu needs to continue to be spread around the world to make people more healthy. Here's some nice pics:

How do I add pics?

Hi Pete

Go here Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket create a free account upload your pics here each pic will be given a url copy each pic url and come back here- look at the window where you type your messages- you will see
c"lick on this" and paste the url, press ok and your pic should come up and repeat as needed.

Hope that's clear.


Jay

Thanks Jay, you're a real STAR*

Here we go:

This is the Russian Champion she won gold, although in her category there were no Chinese athletes

No it didn't seem to work

It comes up as a box with a red x in it and then displays the url. So confusing I think I done everything correctly.

[/IMG][/IMG] I've tried the image code too and that's not working

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...ki/caojing.jpg

when the box comes up do you delete the http:// that is in the box- if NO- you need to or the url becomes http://http://i126.photobucket.com/a...ki/caojing.jpg and not

Wow I did delete the first one and then copied the url from the top (address) and from each of the other boxes,

This one is from the address at the top:

and nothing

But Cao Jing looks awesome doesn't she

I am too much of a brute savant to notice, lol.I'm obsessed with one thing - functionality.

"Function controls design" - Robert Heinlein - fom The Moon is a Harsh Mistress

Heinlein is a GOD... just reread Stranger in a Strange Land after 30 years... awesome

and some serious NLP content for a book that was written in '61!

Hi Adam,
Much agreement there.

Along a similar tack, Herbert's Dune, buttloads of proto-NLP in there. (and in a nod to the thread topic, the Weirding Way is effectively a fighting style using advanced NLP-style calibration as it's central pillar).

Also, Heinlein's own favourite writer, E.E. 'Doc' Smith, has an awful lot of fantastic (in many senses of the word) ideas for DHE practitioners in his Lensman series. It's high space opera and reads like it, but a lot of interesting concepts floating around in there, methinks!

Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman are two current writers that use a lot of ideas and language NLPers might find of interest.

Oh, and cool pics, Peter!

Be Well,

Michael Perez

Frank Herbert (author of Dune) was way ahead of his time in many respects.

He studied Korzybski's General Semantics and Science and Sanity which supposedly were a big influence on the early days of NLP.

Funny, was looking at systema - the russion integreted martial art - it has an 'NLPish' flavour. Alex knows some of it.

Today my face is grazed again from fighting, anmy body aches all over.
Bring on the Tamazapan (spelling).

Herbert is the man - i love reding stuff like that that makes my head hurt.

Now everybody get ready - point your (weirding) module and yell Chaaaaaarg-aaah!

"I can kill with a word" . . . great line.

Hi Cornelis,No supposedly about it, Korzybski 's General Semantics was (and continues to be) a powerful, seminal influence on NLP. Korzybski's 'The map is not the territory' is still one of the pivotal concepts that challenges one's ability to grok on an ongoing basis. And the more one groks how just little they have as yet groked, the closer one comes to fullness...

Herbert was also interested in Cybernetics, another precursor to NLP. The central themes of Dune evidence this in that the whole story is about the interactions of systems and ecology which reflects cybernetic thinking quite strongly.

Personally, I think the whole idea of the ecological damage that can be wrought by a Hero might just be the single most useful lesson an NLPer (or anyone who helps others) can take on board.

And, of course, Herbert was also taken by ideas which are not reflected in NLP. Jung was a big influence and Jungian archetypes are strongly evident throughout.

For those interested in Herbert re: his thinking and ideas in the context of Dune, I thought 'The Road to Dune' was (and is) an excellent overview of the subject.

So, the question remains, could Herbert take Korzybski in a no-holds-barred steel cage match?

Be Well,

Michael Perez
