Focusing on Self-Defense This Year

One of the things that I want to focus on this 2021 is learning how to better defend myself. Because of civil unrest and people's desperation, folks may turn against one another. It's completely natural, though, as often folks prioritize their survival over others.

You don't know what's going to happen so it would be best to be careful. In the news, there are riots going on. So, with that in mind, it's better to be prepared for anything at all. This means that it's important to be ready if ever someone takes advantage of you. Since you don't know who's got the will to do bad deeds, it pays to be a bit suspicious of everyone somehow. This doesn't mean that you must have a serious paranoia. Rather, it would be ideal to be cautious as a person.

As part of my preparation, I plan on studying punching and kicking in general. I plan on exploring the different kinds and pick the best ones to use. This also implies that I don't intend to be tied down to a single martial arts discipline. I want to do some research and practice so that I would discover what kinds of punches and kicks would sit my preferences, instincts, and willpower.

Never Underestimate Your Opponent

Keep it real. In every fight, whether it's in an official tournament or the streets, you should never underestimate your opponent. At all times, keep your eyes on the person. Be watchful and pay attention to his or her movements. It's only when you time your attacks and defenses wherein you could end up being triumphant. Yet remember that there's the element of luck that plays an integral role too. Since anything could happen, you simply have to be ready to respond favorably. Rise when you fall and dominate when you're winning. Never underestimate your enemy. Set Your Goals Your objective in all combats is to win. It should be that. But, aside from gaining the upper hand, you must also consider incapacitating your opponent. After all, a person may retaliate after being defeated. Still, you need to consider how you're going to prevent your adversary from ever attacking you. It isn't that simple when you're fighting against another human being because humans a

Eating Healthy is In, Fad Diets are Out

When the holidays end, people will start looking for the easiest, fastest, and cheapest diet available. No fat, no rice, gluten-free, sugar-free, and whatever it is Hollywood celebrities endorse. What we fail to realize is that eating healthy is far healthier. The food that we eat acts as fuel for our daily activities. It ensures homeostasis within our bodies, protecting us from sickness and injury. Eliminating carbohydrates causes ketosis, while the lack of protein in your diet causes kwashiokor. Thus, everything should be in moderation, with nothing too much and too little.  A balanced meal is composed of 50% vegetables, 25% protein, and 25% grains. Opt for canola oil, olive oil, and peanuts for your moderate fat needs. Top that with an active lifestyle of at least 30 minutes per day of exercise.  How you eat is also important. Slow down and chew your food well, enjoy every bit of flavor exploding in your mouth. Satisfaction through quality rather than quantity. Food is both a necess

What It's Like on the Outside

               Let me describe to you what I saw when I went out to visit the grocery nearby. The experience was so surreal that I still can't believe the pandemic happened.                Anyway, when I got out of the house to leave the confines of the community, all was well. It's the same old thing: typical houses, nosy neighbors, barking dogs, and stray cats everywhere. Also, unlike before, there are only a few trikes picking up passengers within the village subdivision. (You can't even request for a driver to drop by your place or fetch you somewhere anymore. That's because of the high demand for them.) But it's how it was after passing the boom barrier that bothered me.                In the outdoors, there aren't a lot of people around. Those who are there have face shields and face masks on. Some carry their belongings on their side while others put on knapsacks. When you pass by strangers, they don't even bother to look at you in the eye or have a g
