The perfect meal does not exist. It could well be a slice of toasted bread and some melted cheese, or fondue, shared with a friend.
You cannot organize or anticipate good times or ideal meals. It’s a question of simplicity, spontaneity, good times with friends. Most often, it’s only later, long after you’ve experienced a great meal, that you realize, in retrospect, how wonderful and how perfect it really was.

We will add to our growing arsenal of striking combos some simple Ne waza techniques to prepare us better for the blitz. (click link for AKBAN BJJ portal)
Meeting today, at summer usual outside dojo, Gan Havradim at 18:00. We are devoting more time today for fast Sabaki punching combos.
Sunday, next week is the last Combo July session. We are starting the infamous AKBAN blitz at Wednesday 1/8/2012 .
July the 2nd, at China’s Guizhou Normal University was the scene of a brutal knife attack. A mentally disturbed student armed with a 50 cm, large machete like knife barged into the campus towards the cafeteria. As the security guards were trying to stop him, two were stabbed to death.
What we can see in the car’s side view mirror is a Kong Fu practitioner (probably Zhang Huaiqian) waiting patiently for the correct moment. The attacker that uses a long pole at the beginning draws the knife, turns around and stabs the security guard, when he turns away the Kong fu hero proceeds to knock him down with a high flying kick and then proceeds, with several bystanders, to strike the attacker into submission.
A truly brave display of courage and ability.
