Jedi Site chat... See old faces, meet new ones

feeds@yuku.com (astasophi) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 07:48:13 GMT

The happening place of late (and the first for months!) is www.templeofthejediforce.org and it's chat of an evening.

Frankly - I'd like to see more discussion and less fooling-around - but I've been amazed at the many Jedi faces from across the Jedi Community I've seen step in and say hello.

Just thought I'd share...

Martial Arts and Jedi Realists

feeds@yuku.com (Setanaoko) — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 02:49:47 GMT

As per a debate which recently arised on another forum I am a member to, I wanted to pose a question to the group:

Do you believe Martial Arts is one of the bases of being a Jedi(as in, should it be a primary focus)? Why or why not?

May the Force be with you,

I have been working on a diet that is high in fiber and low in fat and calories in order to loose weight. At the beginning of this diet, I weighed 220#. I have been keeping a record on a personal journal but posting it here may keep me on the diet a bit better. I am down to 210# after two weeks on the diet. Here is the last couple days of my diet:

Martial Arts

feeds@yuku.com (AshtonChaplin) — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 11:30:18 GMT

Hi! I have been studying the Jedi ways for a couple of years now. I am now looking into starting alot of physical training. I go to the gym alot. But specificly I would like to engage in some sort of martial arts. I there somewhere that I could go to recieve instruction? I have to admit that I am short on cash, so a local dojo would be out of the question.

Is there anyone here who might be able to help me out?

Thanks and may the Force be with you all!

Lecture: Martial Arts and Healing

feeds@yuku.com (Inari76) — Sun, 03 Dec 2006 01:58:36 GMT

This article has been sourced from the 'Massage and Bodywork' magazine, April/May 2003 edition. Story by Gary Lescak, Kathy Lescak and Jeff Todd.

In a village in feudal Japan, a man falls from a rooftop, and the force of the landing causes him to stop breathing. A crowd gathers; they know the man is in trouble, but they are unsure what to do. Suddenly, a little...

Now that I'm not as sick, I guess I can keep track of my aikido and such here. Though, I still have some healing to do in my lungs, based on last night, so I'm not doing any extra workouts yet.

General Pattern

I have aikido from 7-8 on tuesday and thursday. I could go to the earlier class if I didn't teach before class, but right now that's the only class I can make. After aikido I try to get on the recumbant bike...

Its limb flappingly good fun!

Ok, so tonight i went to see the end of my sons Karate class. He took his time getting ready tonight, so i got to see some of the adult class. Omigod.

Now, as some of you know, i have nearly five years of experience in Wado Ryu Karate, before i had to stop training due to a change in circumstances, so i know what im talking about.

Jesus H Jehosephat Christ. I would even go as far to say 'JIMMENY CHRISTMAS!' in this case. The class started off with no warm up per se, (A good warm...

Big Dream

feeds@yuku.com (SASmith) — Tue, 21 Nov 2006 16:56:22 GMT

Ok, so feathers were ruffled. Egos were bruised and I think there was some over-reaction. So lets all put on our big girl panties for a moment.
If you could do anything with this site. If you were the one in charge. If there were no administration other than yourself. How would you run it? What types of forums/posts/classes/activities would it contain? How would you set it up? Who would run it?

Jasta's Journal

Well, I have not really been reading everybody else's journal here, but I know a lot of people here are either incredibly fit after years of training, or are in the military/ have been in the military... Basically, please do not read this journal if you think for one second I am in the same league as these people!

So, me: I am 20 years old - a student, a girl, holding down a job and school, and Jedi training - and while I do have a background in such pursuits as gymnastics, martial...

Agility exercises

feeds@yuku.com (SASmith) — Sun, 12 Nov 2006 20:09:11 GMT

Just a few drills to develop co-ordination. I hope this helps.
1. Step Drill
About you need is well.....a step.
You start with your feet together, step up with your left, then up with your right. Step down with your left, then down with your right. Stay on the balls of your feet, and all you really want to do is touch. You don't want to bounce or bring your kness up high. Very light on the feet and always moving.
Go as fast as you can for 20 seconds, rest for 30 seconds.

In here, I am outlining both the physical training that I do, as well as the additional training for my offline healing course and whatever else I am doing at the time.

I'll be keeping this brief because a) I'd rather be training than writing here and I am also putting this in rather greater detail over in my training journal at the...

Ba Duan Jin Qigong??

feeds@yuku.com (Mindas Arran) — Fri, 10 Nov 2006 06:00:04 GMT

Would anyone be interested in an 8 week course/discussion on Ba Duan Jin? Its a fairly simple Qigong set and I thought it might be a neat idea to have something like that rolling here in the Activity Forum.

Thoughts?

Magdelene Nahira's Training Journal

Not even going to attempt to be as detailed as everybody else gets as I will flat out admit I'm lucky when I can motivate myself to exercise at all. Especially of late, as I have had a lot of reason to just give up on the whole world lately. Yet I will not. So will at least give an attempt at journalling my training in hope it will motivate me. So . . .

Holiday Calorie Control

feeds@yuku.com (Volund Starfire) — Sat, 04 Nov 2006 11:12:01 GMT

If you are conscientious about staying in shape and maintaining your weight, the period between Thanksgiving and New Year's is a time of challenge. The average American gains one pound during the holiday season and never loses it. So the typical American, over 20 years of holiday eating, can put on 20 pounds of fat.

During the rest of the year, we concentrate on getting into the best shape possible. However, our objective during the holiday season is simply to maintain. This period is...

Learning to Breathe

feeds@yuku.com (Mindas Arran) — Fri, 27 Oct 2006 05:43:30 GMT

This article came from Holistic-online.com I havent had a chance to really look over the site, but so far it looks neat! ^_^

Learning to Breathe Correctly

We do deep breathing while asleep. Hence a simple way to learn how to breath properly is to simulate sleep. Lie down, close your eyes, relax the whole body, drop the chin and imagine that you are asleep, thus letting your...

Percieved Exertion Scale

feeds@yuku.com (Mindas Arran) — Thu, 26 Oct 2006 05:53:02 GMT

This is a neat little system to guage how hard you are exercising/training.

* Level 1: I'm watching TV and eating bon bons
* Level 2: I'm comfortable and could maintain this pace all day long
* Level 3: I'm still comfortable, but am breathing a bit harder
* Level 4: I'm sweating a little, but feel good and can carry on a conversation effortlessly
* Level 5: I'm just above comfortable, am sweating more and can still talk easily
* Level 6: I...
