My Sanshou Training

Here's a sneak peak of my sanshou training last week.
Focusing on stamina and throwing techniques.
A typical round would last 2 minutes,constantly throwing your opponent for 3 cycles.End of each cycle would make you totally exhausted.

Beijing 2008 Olypmpics

The Beijing 2008 Olympics has come and go and the road to 2012 London Olympics started.Last night closing ceremony marked the end of this year's main event,with stars like Leona Lewis performing and England's own soccer icon David Beckham.

Now let's take look at familiar names that made an impact in this year's Olympics.

Swimming superstar Michael Phelps from the USA won a record breaking 8 gold medals in a single Olympics.He took part in both single events and team events,which also shows that he got both skills and teamwork.''I'm sleeping in.I'm putting on weight.And I'm not going to care'' says Phelps.Just what's next for him?

Now to Jamacan sprinter Usain Bolt who broke the Olympic record at 100 metres event at 9.69 seconds.People say his speed is as fast as a bolt of lightning !Usain Bolt also clinched the gold medal at the 4x100 relay.

Next to the flops,team USA didn't do well this time round in track and field while Cuba's boxing's standard seem to have drop.

On the other hand,Brazil men's football clinch its gold medal even with star player like Ronaldinho.Was the hot favourites under too much pressure?
China's hurdles king,Liu Xiang was eliminated during the heats as it shocked the whole world !Chinese fans were all in tears.
Also scandals like boxing bitting on the shoulder and taekwondo kick to the referee who received three stitches on the lower lip was absolutely hilarious.Bitting your opponent's shoulder?Are you Mike Tyson's disciple?HAHA That kick from a spilt second could eventually cost his whole taekwondo career.
Another frequent question was Chinese gymnast He Kexin underaged?14 or 16?Let's wait and see then.No matter what,all athletes should be rightfully awarded as they tried their best.
Let's head to home news as Singapore finally won a silver Olympic medal after 48 years.The table tennis team,leaded by captain Li Jiawei and members Wang Yuegu and Feng Tianwei did team Singapore proud.
However before they can either celebrate,a controversial decision was raised by Singapore Table Tennis Association(STTA) president,Lee Bee Wah who allegedly said she would be sacking manager,Antony Lee and coach,Liu Guodong for neglecting table tennis player Gao Ning.Just what exactly have they done wrong?Don't you think that this is injustice?Overwhelming response were made by furious Singaporeans as their mood were dampen even before celebration.
Now Ms Lee denied saying what's mentioned above,this is ridiculous !
Also,people seem to have forgotten about the English Premier League that started a week ago HAHA !

Singapore Flyer

Really enjoyed myself at the Singapore Flyer with my classmates yesterday,14/08/08.Singapore Flyer is the world's largest observation wheel. Standing at a stunning 165m from the ground, the Flyer offers you breathtaking, panoramic views of the Marina Bay, our island city and beyond. There's also a wide range of shops, restaurants, activities and facilities.Took a number of amazing photographs with both my friends and scenery.
GREAT AND MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE !

Restrain part two

Since we are on the topic of restrain,let's go through the aspect of the defensive moves.

Restrain part one

In today's post,we will be looking into the aspect of restrain.Restrain consist of locks and chokes for both offense and defense.
As for now,we will concentrate on the offensive ones.
It is used in situation which you wouldn't want to hurt the assailant seriously by striking,we could opt for alternate methods like a hold or choke to restrain him while waiting for the proper authority to take over.
Alternatively if one faces a life threatening situation with an attacker, a dislocation on the joint is often quite enough to traumatise the assailant. You should capitalise on it and quickly escape.
This techniques uses minimum strength and you can usually bring down bigger opponent with the right LEVERAGE.
Attached are videos of restrain with narratives.
