  1. Try attending to Taekwondo and Muay Thai lessons. Both of the Lessons combined together gives you the perfect advantage when your being attacked. Taekwondo teaches you how to defend and reverse the hit the attacker threw at you. Muay Thai is simply Just Attack, attending to Muay thai lessons is a good way of training both your arms, legs and mind. Google it for more info and you can see videos of Muay Thai put to defence, its really cool.


  2. I just joined this forum to reply to this.

    Firstly, the optometry industry does not support Bate's method because they can't really make money

    from it.

     

    Imagine this: myopic (near-sighted) guys walks in an optometrist shop, optometrist tells him:

     

    "You can pay me a few hundred dollars for glasses which 90% of the time cements your blur (makes it

    permanent). And once that happens, it's highly likely that your prescription gets worse over time as

    a result of wearing glasses permanently, and you will keep having to come back to pay more money for

    higher lenses."

     

    Then the optometrist adds:

     

    "You can also go and try the bates method. The bates method costs nothing. Except it requires some

    effort and understanding on your part. Its got to do with reducing strain and retraining natural

    eyesight habits that can often be lost in this modern world which evolved much faster than our eyes

    could. Anyhow, there are thousands of people who have done this. Your choice..."

     

    Of course the (sane) patients will go for the bate's method. Its the natural way anyway:

     

    Glasses: Big, heavy, ugly, cause face strain

    Fog up

    Light reflections

    Dust, Dirt, cleaning

    Flatten image (looks smaller for myopes)

    Dulls colour (all glass does this)

    Need Maintenance

     

    Contacts: Oxygen.

    Infections (can lead to serious problems)

    Protien buildup

    Preakage

    Eye damage

    Need Maintenance

     

    LASIK: Possible serious implications (eg blindness)

    Some very common implications (halos, starbursts etc)

    Irreversible.

    New tech, unproven long term results.

     

    Plus the bates method can get them back good, natural eyesight along with reduced face, head & neck

    strain, which affects a lot of body strain.

     

    Now how the f*** is the optometrist supposed to make money? How the hell is he supposed to keep an income? Has his whole time in optometry been a fraud? And has everything he learnt in his degree to everything he has practised in his 'profession' been a lie? ( Ans: It cant be! :( )

     

    This fear is huge (imagine yourself in this position :) ), and that is why many optometrists simply deny any knowledge of it, or dismiss it as false, or in some cases, laugh at it.

     

    Now, first go check out some pics of the eye's anatomy:

    eye: http://www.lionsclubs.org/EN/404.php

    eye muscles: http://www.perret-optic.ch/

     

    Conventional accommodation theory (founded by Hermann Helmholtz) says accommodation (focussing the eye for close distance viewing) is due to the lens of the eye flexing. This is the theory followed by the Optometry industry. Bates found that people that had their lens removed from their eyes could

    still accommodate. Accordng to Helmholtz laws, this isnt possible. Secondly he discovered that the

    part of the eye that did accomodation was actually a pair of exterior muscles called the obliques.

    And that when they flexed, they changed the shape of the eye (made it longer by 'squashing' the eye)

    which was best for close vision.

     

    Short-sighted people's external obliques are in a state of chronic strain. ie they are always

    flexing, so the eyeball is squashed and kept longer the WHOLE time, not just when needed for close

    vision. The person doesnt notice (it's a subconscious process anyway), and the visual system has

    forgotten how to relax for distant vision where it doesn't need to accommodate.

     

    The genius of the bates method is in using methods for relaxing this strain and relearning good

    vision habits. These methods aren't 'exercises', they are vision habits which must initially be

    enforced/remembered consciously until they eventually sink into the subconscious visual system and

    restore natural vision.

     

    Again, it is not just a set of exercises, and this is where many people go wrong. Think of those programs that teach you to touch type with those typing exercises that slowly progress. Instead of focusing on just the scope of the exercise ("type: asd fse asfe sasasa def sae sde"), which is meaningless, you should actually be focussing on what techniques and habits the exercise is trying to teach and remembering and internalising the typing habits until it becomes natural and you dont even have to think about it. Once you finally learn touchtyping, every time you type from then on in normal situations, you are practising, but you dont think of it as an 'exercise' because you dont need to. The same applies with vision improvement with the bates method.

     

    Think of this as restoring the original firmware (subconscious instructions) to your visual circuitry

    (your visual system) after it has been flashed with buggy firmware at a time when the computer (you) was

    unstable.

     

     

    Bates method consists of a few main concepts:

     

    Movement: natural movement in the eyes AND the body.

    Centralisation: focussing on one small central area rather than diffusing on a large area

    Relaxation: seeing in the relased state

     

    Each consists of a few habits:

     

    Removing glasses / contact lenses

     

    Movement: shifting

    swaying

    swinging

    oppositional movement

    blinking

    body posture

     

    Centralisation: non-Staring

    mental focus/active intent

    non-diffusing

     

    Relaxation: sunning

    palming

    breathing

     

    This is only a brief overview, and doesnt cover everything.

     

    These things are not obvious at first, why should they be? since they are meant to be subconscious!

    Once you learn them, practise a bit, and form good habits, it will start internalising. In fact, if

    you practise these concepts for the first time, you will start to notice a difference straight away.

     

    Some people try this and it doesnt work for them, that is because they are doing it wrong because

    they dont really understand what is going on. And that they are TRYING. trying hard creates more

    strain. You kind of have to just allow yourself to see differently. TRYING REALLY HARD will just

    create STRAIN, which is the opposite of what you want.

     

    Notice how I didnt actually tell you what each of the methods are and how to do them? Its because

    these concepts and methods seem very very simple and basic if given a brief description of what to

    do. Im not saying they are hard, but they can be often misenterpreted.

     

    What you really want, and what I really want for you, is to really understand what is going on,

    and all the subtleties of each concept that nature already designed for our vision. If you want to do this right and do it well, instead of reading up on the net about it, and going to various websites with brief descriptions and try to learn it all in one day, is to go and buy yourself a book or two about the subject.

     

    I personally recommend These two books:

     

    Better Eyesight Without Glasses by William Bates (you can find free legal ebook versions on the net,

    This one is a bit old and full of recounts and old theory instead of techniques, but at least you get to see where it all started)

     

    Relearning to See by Thomas Quackenbush (you MUST get this. based on bates method, and is VERY usefull and successfull. The quality, ease, and depth of this book is outstanding).

     

    Good luck, and spread the knowledge after you have realised this works. - HyperWireD


    I think the best way to exercise your eye which is for free to is to Massage your cheeks, because it basically sooth the nerves around your eye, other way is to use both of your knuckle and gently rub the both sides of your temple. Always remember to keep your eyes close if you are exercsing your eyes, or i would make you dizzy.


  3. Thats garbage. You can jog during weight training. Jogging is a life long and very healthy sport that I would recommend doing. Its good for your heart and lungs and no matter what people tell you it is good for your knees and joints as well. If you need help getting started on a program I would be happy to help.


    I totally agree with ^. Who says your not allowed to jog during weight training. In fact jogging is one of the best ways to lose weight. I did that and i lose a few Kilograms (: you should try it too.

  4. I'm not sure if this is what your finding but the defination of Conflict is:

     

    an open clash between two opposing groups (or individuals); "the harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph"--Thomas Paine; "police tried ...

    opposition between two simultaneous but incompatible feelings; "he was immobilized by conflict and indecision"

    battle: a hostile meeting of opposing military forces in the course of a war; "Grant won a decisive victory in the battle of Chickamauga"; "he lost his romantic ideas about war when he got into a real engagement"

    a state of opposition between persons or ideas or interests; "his conflict of interest made him ineligible for the post"; "a conflict of loyalties"

    an incompatibility of dates or events; "he noticed a conflict in the dates of the two meetings"

    be in conflict; "The two proposals conflict!"

    opposition in a work of drama or fiction between characters or forces (especially an opposition that motivates the development of the plot); "this form of conflict is essential to Mann's writing"

    go against, as of rules and laws; "He ran afoul of the law"; "This behavior conflicts with our rules"

    dispute: a disagreement or argument about something important; "he had a dispute with his wife"; "there were irreconcilable differences"; "the familiar conflict between Republicans and Democrats"


  5. Elderly people jogged when they think they can do it. It does some form of exercise for them which keeps them healthy, They also think in a way that if they can exercise, they are not useless. A way to exercise just right is the hit the gym. Go on a threadmill, set the amount of calories you would want to burn, and they would estimate the number of KiloMetres you need to run. In that way, you could get your ideal results and not over-doing it. I hit the gym 3 days a week which is making me quite fit. Do some sit-ups to build up your stomach muscles so you wouldn't get stomach cramps easily. My Father once told me that even if someone can do Push-Ups, some of them can't do Chin-Ups and Vice Versa. So you might want to Google or Follow what i said above. IT might prove to be quite helpful though :P


  6. Smokes are suckers who got no life. In my countries every street is filled with Smokers. I feel like giving all of them a Taste of My Knuckles but i can't or my Knuckle would be broken. Xpecially Second-Hand Smoke, Research shown that Non-Smokers who accidentally breathe in the harmful gas of the smoke actually have a greater risk of getting the diseases then the Smokers themselves which is not fair.


  7. First of all, Autism is not retardation
    Second if you want to work with autistic children, read this Quote, I found it on Google and it proved to be quite interesting.
    Most of the kids I worked with were autistic. If you've ever noticed an autistic child in public or have seen them depicted in movies, you may not realize all you can do with them. But be assured with patience and repetition, as well as a firm, loving hand, coupled with structure, you can
    see results. But you have to be patient.

    First, be aware there is a wide range of mental functioning in autism. A number of students I worked with had exceptionally high IQs, especially in subjects such as math and science. In fact, one 11-year-old boy I monitored, probably had the highest IQ in his fifth grade math class. His struggles were in social skills and in controlling his emotions. And then, there's my own 14-year-old grandson, Andrew. He's labeled autistic, but highly functional. Just tell him the year of your birth, and he can quickly tell you the day of the week you were born. Andrew is also on top of the weather in every state, staying glued to the Weather Channel. He's fascinated with any map you put in front of him, studying it as closely as other teens study the latest trends.

    Then there are kids who fall within the low range of intelligence, some of which, aren't even able to use their words. But, again, with patience and persistence they, too, can learn. Here are a few games and mental exercises that work.

  8. You actually can. But you have to start taking care of your eyes at young. My Lil bro used to wear glasses everyday. But after looking at lots of green stuff, we lived near the forest :P ,Not over-playing the computer, Massaging your cheeks actually helps you calm your eyes down. He did that for about 2 years and LOOK! he's not wearing glasses anymore! You can try this. Its totally free, but its a long term effect so you might not notice it.
