Keeping my Christmas Promise to Print This to Remember the Warriors of Freedom
Rick
From: Don
Something to think about! :-)
TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS,
HE LIVED ALL ALONE,
IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE MADE OF
PLASTER AND STONE.
I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY
WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE,
AND TO SEE JUST WHO
IN THIS HOME DID LIVE.
I LOOKED ALL ABOUT,
A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE,
NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS,
NOT EVEN A TREE.
NO STOCKING BY MANTLE,
JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND,
ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES
OF FAR DISTANT LANDS.
WITH MEDALS AND BADGES,
AWARDS OF ALL KINDS,
A SOBER THOUGHT
CAME THROUGH MY MIND.
FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT,
IT WAS DARK AND DREARY,
I FOUND THE HOME OF A SOLDIER,
ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY.
THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING,
SILENT, ALONE,
CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR
IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME.
THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE,
THE ROOM IN SUCH DISORDER,
NOT HOW I PICTURED
A UNITED STATES SOLDIER.
WAS THIS THE HERO
OF WHOM I'D JUST READ?
CURLED UP ON A PONCHO,
THE FLOOR FOR A BED?
I REALIZED THE FAMILIES
THAT I SAW THIS NIGHT,
OWED THEIR LIVES TO THESE SOLDIERS
WHO WERE WILLING TO FIGHT.
SOON ROUND THE WORLD,
THE CHILDREN WOULD PLAY,
AND GROWNUPS WOULD CELEBRATE
A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY.
THEY ALL ENJOYED FREEDOM
EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR,
BECAUSE OF THE SOLDIERS,
LIKE THE ONE LYING HERE.
I COULDN'T HELP WONDER
HOW MANY LAY ALONE,
ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE
IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME.
THE VERY THOUGHT
BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYE,
I DROPPED TO MY KNEES
AND STARTED TO CRY.
THE SOLDIER AWAKENED
AND I HEARD A ROUGH VOICE,
"SANTA DON'T CRY,
THIS LIFE IS MY CHOICE;
I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM,
I DON'T ASK FOR MORE,
MY LIFE IS MY GOD,
MY COUNTRY, MY CORPS."
THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER
AND DRIFTED TO SLEEP,
I COULDN'T CONTROL IT,
I CONTINUED TO WEEP.
I KEPT WATCH FOR HOURS,
SO SILENT AND STILL
AND WE BOTH SHIVERED
FROM THE COLD NIGHT'S CHILL.
I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE
ON THAT COLD, DARK, NIGHT,
THIS GUARDIAN OF HONOR
SO WILLING TO FIGHT.
THEN THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER,
WITH A VOICE SOFT AND PURE,
WHISPERED, "CARRY ON SANTA,
IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL IS SECURE."
ONE LOOK AT MY WATCH,
AND I KNEW HE WAS RIGHT.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND,
AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT."
This poem was written by a Marine stationed in Okinawa Japan. The
following is his request. I think it is reasonable.....
PLEASE. Would you do me the kind favor of sending this to as many
people as you can? Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is due =
to
our U.S. service men and women for our being able to celebrate these
festivities.
Let's try in this small way to pay a tiny bit of what we owe. Make
people stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who sacrificed
themselves for us. Please, do your small part to plant this small seed.
How about submitting your own quotes. Martialartists@hotmail.com

Does kata (forms) help you with self-defense? Your Answer
yes I believe they do -once you truly understand them-not just do them. they can often give you new insights on your art and can often lead to a sharper and clearer mind-making the warrior within that bit more tempered and refined, after all combat is fought on more than one plane.
kind regards,
Carl
****************************
Does Kata help with self defence... You KNOW that's gonna spark debate;
here's my part of the fuel for the fire Bottom line? Yes... sort of... Kata are a definite asset to training; they help with form and bring familiarity to the various techniques.
They also, unfortunately, breed habit with specific responses towards some actions. I believe that if a student is learning a Martial Art, Kata are a must (if included in the specific art).. If a student is strictly learning self defence, they should likely stay away from hard-set forms and concentrate more on confidence with a few select techniques. This is said with the premise that self defence is a specific end as opposed to a devotion to training.
Philippe
*******************
Kata adds to the art in the martial arts. It adds nothing to self-defense ability other than a broken jaw from chamber punching and not keeping your hands up.

Can a good street fighter beat a black belt? Your Answer
Anytime, any day.
Bill
********************
It depends on whether the stress on the style is tournaments or combat.
John
************************
It totally depends on the type of black belt the person is. If they were trained in the traditional, full contact old styles of the arts, then probably not. It also depends on whether the street fighter is trained, or if they attack the bb from behind. I have witnessed many a black belt loose a street fight because of these factors: 1. They are a point fighter. 2. They trained at one of those "Anyone can be a black belt schools." 3. They were jumped from behind and hit with a club or pipe. 4. The street fighter was a well trained Martial Artist or boxer. 5. The black belt just plain sucked. 6. The black belt was from a Tae Kwon Do "Super Mall" school (one that teaches for money). 7. And lastly, the black belt didn't have chance because he was drunk or stupid. After working security for many years in bars, I have one thing to add to this question...could a street fighter beat a qualified, well trained black belt in an actual front to front face? The answer would probably be no, but remember that no matter how tough you are, there is always someone tougher. Sincerely: Shihan S Franz, 6th Dan Black Belt Aiki-Te Ryu Karate Do*****************
Yes, having a black belt means a lot, but I have read and heard of schools that give a black belt too soon in a students martial arts career. Having a black belt doesn't neccesarily mean you are invincible, but if you have had the right training and have practiced it would definatley improve your odds.

Can a good street fighter beat a black belt ???
My answer is, that's a great possibility.
Black belt don't guarantee a man to be able to beat up street fighter. It depends heavily on our continuous training, reflexes, and senses. I don't know about the condition in America, but here in Indonesia, we can't underestimated street fighters. Here, many black belt people being beat up by street fighters.
I've seen some persons who takes Kempo classes ( three black belt persons ) being beat up by a single lonely street fighter, and then those Kempo black belts went down unsconcious with only a fast single slap to their face
********************
Black Belt-ers, If you think that you can beat up street fighters, then try Indonesia's street fighters. You have to think more than twice to face them !!!!! Even if you had a gun ....!!!!!!!!

A subscriber has written in and was wondering what martial arts exercises he can do to help lose weight? Your Response
There is a fun little exercise that really gets the blood going.. it's called a prostration.. You stand straight, hands above your head... then you lie down on your stomach, hands extended in front of you.. then you stand up straight, hands above your head.. that's one. do as many as you like/can.. usually, if you hurry, the average guy will get winded after 10 to 15.. standard Martial Artist, about double.. try doing 50 a day, whatever the pace.. you will loose weight guaranteed..

Note from Sensei Kirkham - This is one of the most intelligent men I've met in reference to his marketing skills and his realistic martial arts training. You would do well to read this article and visit his site SPONSORSHIP, HOW CAN I GET SOME? We've all seen the words, at the end of a sport or on a banner somewhere, "This event sponsored by Company XYZ!" I'm sure everyone has wondered how they can get sponsorship for their team or event. Well, I'm going to share with you a few things I have done to get a few sponsors. My name is Bill MacCumbee, and I am the head instructor of World Jiu-Jitsu Academy in South Carolina. I've been training in the martial arts for 16 years now, and have been in marketing and sales for awhile also. Thanks to my training in sales, I've been able to turn a small one-room recreation center class into 8 schools in the lower southeast. Thanks to my approach, I was able to secure sponsors so my fighting team has been able to travel all over the world. I'm going to share with you a few things that you probably already know, hopefully a few that you don't, and a lot of fluff in between.
Getting sponsors is really no harder than getting students if you break it down into the easiest form of understanding. All you are doing is sharing your love of the arts and your devotion for your team with someone else, (hopefully a company that is willing to give you money for your passion.)
Sponsors, just like any other consumer listen to a radio station called WCYD-FM. I'm sure you've heard of it, matter of fact you probably listen to it too. The letters break down like this. WCYD-FM is actually, What Can You Do For Me. that's what sponsors want to know. If they give you money, what are they going to get out of the deal. They've got money to spend, (lots of it, in some cases) and they want to know why they need to spend money with you..
This is the way I have done it for my teams. This may not be the best way, but it seems to have worked for me.
My first step to getting sponsors was to go to my students. I approached a few of my kids' parents and flat out asked them if they were interested in sponsoring the team. Many said no, but all had advice on how I could get others to help. Seeing this as an opportunity, I took some of their advice. I first went to the recreation center and the YMCA and got a copy of their sponsors' list. It was easy to get. All I did was ask for it. The YMCA was a little less forthcoming with the list, until I told them that that was why the sponsors donate, so their name is out there and customers start calling. Next I started to collect business cards of all the places I could. Every restaurant I ate at, and every store I shopped. I collected cards and owner's names. After I collected names I started to create my packet and my sales pitch. To create my packet, I went online and found a few racing teams. You know, the "A" track car racers that want to be NASCAR. I chose them because racing is a sport that NEEDS sponsors. You can't just put together a car and go to the local track and make it big. If you are going to make it, you need sponsors in that sport. I emailed them and told them that either I, or one of my employees saw them racing and I wanted to get their sponsorship packets. I then took their packets, compared them and created one for myself. After I had my packet, then I started to sell myself. My packet is real simple. I'm sure that it's not the most traditional, but it works. What I did is, I went to my tournament and demo tapes, (everyone tapes ALL of their demos and tournaments, don't they?) I created what I called a "Hot button tape" What that is all of the best stuff I have, set to music showing my team in action. Now, here is the mistake people make. If you are going to create a tape like this, don't just tape what you think looks good. The sponsors don't really care that you are on tape splitting 6 cinder blocks with your head with only two people watching. What they are looking for is the number of people in the venues that you're at. Take your tapes and condense them down showing some nice stuff that your team is doing, but make sure you show the sponsors the background. They want to see the number of potential customers, not how many boards you broke on a demo. Take your tape and make it so that it is fast paced, exciting, but also that it sells the fact that you are in the public eye A LOT. That's what they want. They want to put their name beside yours only if you prove to them that a lot of people see you. I then created a sponsorship scale, just like PBS does for their money drives. If a sponsor donated X amount of money, they would get this .. If a sponsor donated more, they would get more .. if a sponsor donated even more, they would get even more. I created three levels of sponsorship. Bronze, silver, and gold. I had plaques made to correspond to the medals. Whenever a sponsor donates, I go to their office, with a camera and a few members of my team, and I present the plaque to them. This does a lot of different things. This thanks them first, which is most important. Then it makes one more opportunity to be in the paper for both of us, then later on, it creates something that one of their customers might see and it draws them to us, just like we're doing for them. My benefits that each sponsor gets varies, but the most important thing is that I promise to put my sponsors names out so people can see them. You can do whatever you want, but make sure you have a few options for your sponsors to do. Don't just say, "look, if you give me $200.00, I'll put your name in the paper." This doesn't work. Make sure you make their money go far, but don't make it so easy that every one of your sponsors get the same thing. After I got my tape, my pay scale, and my packet together, I was ready to gather sponsors. The first people I hit were my parents. My students' parents are always the first I go to for anything. I went to all of the parents that owned businesses and asked them, Here's how you ask for that: "Mr. Jones, You know that Johnny (His son) is on our competition team and he's had a lot of different tournaments that he's went to in the last couple of months. Right? I'm sure you've also noticed the expense involved? We'll this is what I've been thinking about, and I need your advise. I am trying to gather sponsors so that parents like you won't have to put so much money into your children's pastime. I need you to tell me, since you own your own business, how someone like me would get a business to sponsor a team?" The great thing about this, is that Mr. Jones will now tell you exactly what he would do if he were going to sponsor you. He will tell you about his perceived value in your program. He is giving you the key to sell him on the idea of sponsoring his son. He is giving you the hot buttons to push to sell him and more like him. Listen intently to what he says, make the things he says a reality, then show him your tape, and ask his advice. Pitch your packet, and your pay scale, if you did a good enough presentation, he'll volunteer to help out. If he doesn't volunteer, ask him if he knows anyone that would help out. He might help you, or he might get some of his friends to help. Your parents are just itching to help you out, utilize them. They will be your biggest supporters.
Now we go to big businesses. If you want to get a big business to help, call them up and talk to the person in charge of donations and sponsorships. Do the same thing that you did for your parents, ask them to tell you what you would have to do to get a sponsor. They will tell you. If all you get is, "submit your packet and we'll look at it. If we can help you, we will." Ask for more. Ask for what they look for in the packet, ask them how many small teams they sponsor right now, and ask them what your chances are to get them to sponsor you. You'll be surprised what someone will tell you if you ask for it. After you talk to them, make your packet for them. Send your tape and then call back. Make sure you stay in contact with the person you talked to on the phone. Make sure that whoever you talk to, you try to create some form of relationship with. You don't have to take them to dinner and a movie, but the friendlier you are with this person, the better. If they are the decision-maker, then you creating a bond will get them to help you better, and if they are not the decision-maker, they may pull some strings to help you out. Make yourself unforgettable to them and not just another hungry bird looking for a hand out, and you might just get something. I'll now share something with you that should help you more than any of the proceeding words. If you don't ask, you won't get.
