SUGGESTIONS
FOR MEDITATION PREPARATION:-Set aside
about 1/2 hour for your exercise.-Wear loose
clothing.-Sit comfortably, supporting your
back with pillows, so that you may sit upright
without strain or effort.-To make yourself
aware of tension in your body, you can start
by tightening and holding muscles tight, moving
from your toes upward. Then releasing the
tension.-Drinking a glass of water before
starting helps you feel cleansed.-Take 12
deep breaths holding them in a few seconds
and releasing them. Inhale as deeply as possible
and exhale fully, while focusing on the countdown.-If
thoughts come into your mind, don't get frustrated,
just imagine them leaving out the top of your
head.- Pick a quiet room or area for these
exercises. Incense is also extremely helpful
in creating an all enveloping atmosphere.
Low lighting or candle light is also helpful
in easing your ability to focus. Now simply
enjoy!

What is Karate-do?
It is not a martial art whose ultimate
goal is victory or defeat, rather, it
is where one overcomes visible and invisible
trials in the attempt to round out one's
character in the midst of the toil of
training. It
is an art of self-defense, where one systematically
trains one's hands and legs bare-handed,
and as if displaying a weapon-like force,
one forestalls unexpected opponents with
each thrust and kick. It
is a form of physical exercise where one
moves one's limbs and entire body forward
and back, left and right and up and down
uniformly, and furthermore where one masters
all types of actions including bending
and stretching, leaping and balance. It
is a hand-to-hand skill, where through
will-power, one uses well-controlled skills,
and accurately grasping the target, one
proves the superiority of one's skill
by instantaneously releasing the maximum
impact force. (The target is assumed to
be just before the vital organs of the
human body)

7th dan, Master Bob Liedke began his martial
arts career in 1960 with the study of Japanese
judo. Spanning a period of more than 40 years,
Master Liedke has studied several styles of
karate, jujitsu, aiki-jitsu, and for the last
32 years, aikido. Over the ensuing years,
he has modified the basic techniques of aikido
to form a devastating self-defense system
that could be safely and enjoyably practiced
for self-defense, as well as health and fitness.
In 1980, he founded the American Institute
of Martial Arts, located in New Haven, CT.,
and is the second oldest continuously operating
school in Connecticut. Source:

| It
was January 1972 that Thom Harinck founded
the world's most famous Muay Thai and Kickboxing
Gym Chakuriki. Chakuriki is a Japanese word
which means as much as "the power derived
from". Originally Harinck, who trained
Mas Oyama's Kyokushinkai karate for a short
while, meant the Chakuriki-style to be a mixture
of traditional karate, boxing, wrestling,
judo and jiu jitsu, coupled with rigid meditation
sessions. Another part of the style was handling
the traditional kobudo weapons such as bo,
manriki gusari, nunchaku and the sai. The
emblem of Chakuriki shows a Thaiboxer and
a Bullterrier with a twig between its fangs
as a sign of peace. The Bullterrier was chosen
to resemble because of its courage, intelligence,
power, agility and speed. All of these are
characteristic for a Chakuriki fighter. Source:
