Ice Punch Technique

Ice Punch TechniqueThere are two main areas of ice punch technique that you need to be familiar with if you are to master this martial art form. The first is the application of the shoulder blade and elbow in the wind down position. This is how the technique was originally developed by Bruce Lee and has been used by many fighters ever since.The second is the use of the side-stepping step on the off guard. In addition to this, it is also important that you learn the basic drilling for the follow up techniques such as the triangle, knee bar, berimbolo, and low punch. The follow up techniques are important in that they give you an opportunity to apply a range of pressure which will give you the ability to counter attack the person you are fighting. It also gives you the opportunity to apply pressure to your opponent's legs, which will help with your overall technique.In the case of the ice punch technique, the follow up techniques should be learned from a mentor of this particular form of martial arts or learn by reading from a guide. These manuals cover all aspects of the ice punch technique in great detail. A good ice punch move tutor should be able to guide you through the fundamentals of the ice punch technique and even use it on you to make sure that you understand what to do in certain situations.To start learning the ice punch technique, you must first understand how the shoulder blade and elbow work to form the triangle in the wind down position. The main reason for this is because the triangle is an important tool in the ice punch technique. From here, you can control the angle of your opponent by taking advantage of the angle of the triangle created by the shoulder blade and elbow.Remember that the elbow does not need to be extended as you get ready to strike, but it is important to have a firm grip on the arm so that you can balance yourself on top of your opponent. When the angle of the triangle becomes tight, the elbow is going to be close to the head . Now is the time to finish the triangle and apply pressure to the knee and hips.As for the follow up moves, you want to focus on using the triangle on your opponent while trying to land as hard as possible on the head. Once you have done this, you can start applying pressure to your opponent's legs. Remember to try to control their legs so that you are not able to roll out of the triangle.Once you have mastered these two main areas of the ice punch technique, it is easy to apply pressure to your opponent's leg by adding the power punch or follow up moves. The triangle is still a great way to control the angle and apply pressure to your opponent's body but it is best to continue to use the shoulder blade and elbow technique. If you get them in a corner, this is where you want to be.

Five Powerful, Free Resources for Improving Performance in School

Five Powerful, Free Resources for Improving Performance in School Improving Academic Performance In the past few years, I’ve read a lot of articles and visited many web-sites to learn more about what drives academic performance and to identify mutually beneficial partnerships. I have chosen one web-site, one “app,” one blog, one online course, and one podcast. I believe any given student should at least be familiar with many of the ideas covered by each of these resources. As such, parents, high school, college, and graduate students, as professionals of any age, could benefit from spending time exploring each resource below. #1. Web-site: www.mindsetworks.com â€" a web-site about a powerful but simple idea; your intelligence is like a muscle that grows with use. It’s not a fixed trait that you inherit. I list this resource first because if your goal is to improve performance at school or on standardized tests, becoming familiar with the “growth vs. fixed” mindset concept is critical. Many people assume that IQ = Intelligence and that you are given a certain amount of each when you are born. By working hard, you can reach your “potential,” but can’t go any farther than that. The implication of this line of thinking is that, if you are finding a class extremely difficult, it may just be that you “aren’t wired” to be able to excel in that particular subject area. For example, you just “aren’t a math person.” However, there is another mindset called “growth.” In this mindset, you naturally assume, or train yourself to believe, that intelligence is something you build, not a trait you inherit. When you challenge yourself and struggle to understand something new, you’ll slowly become smarter or more intelligent over time as you build new connections in your brain. Now, the extent to which measured IQ can change significantly over time is debatable. But, a Stanford Psychologist named Carl Dweck developed, tested, and has designed practical applications around the insight that people who believe in the growth mindset are, basically, correct, and those with the “fixed” mindset are wrong. So much of what we accomplish in school, at work, in athletics, and in life is based on skills that we build with practice, and a growth mindset encourages us to keep trying, practicing, and building these skills. Dweck also wrote a book called Mindset: The New Psychology of Success By visiting www.mindsetworks.com you’ll be able to explore the fixed vs. growth mindset science and read case studies that show students who simply adopt the growth mindset perform far better in school without additional training or instruction, and much more. #2. Blog: http://danielcoyle.com â€" a blog built around the idea that deliberate practice is the key to getting really, really good at anything If you adopt a growth mindset, you believe that you can build your intelligence and your skills over time. By simply making it more likely that you’ll work hard and try to improve, you are far more likely to improve and perform better. But, Daniel Coyle’s blog and his book, the Talent Code, reveal the science behind specific strategies for practicing and studying more effectively that lead to more rapid improvement. It reveals how to build skills. The book and his blog cover many different topics and domains, but academics is certainly one of them. #3. Online course - Learning How to Learn: Powerful Mental Tools to Help You Master Tough Subjects â€" an online course that teaches you how to become a more effective learner through a mixture of neuroscience, psychology, and education theory, as well as practical advice about how to apply the theory. If you are already in high school or college and taking a full course load, it might seem crazy for me to suggest that you take an additional course in your spare time. However, having taken the course myself, I can tell you that if you did invest the time in the course, you’d likely pick up a few study techniques that will improve your ability to master tough material so much that ultimately, the time you’d save in the rest of your education would far outweigh the time you spend taking the course now. What types of things are covered in the course? Here are some examples: the two fundamental “modes” of learning your brain uses, how to “chunk” information to better understand it, creating frequent “mini tests” to improve your ability to learn new material, how to deal with procrastination, memorization tips, counterintuitive test taking strategies, and more. The author of the course, Dr. Barbara Oakley, also wrote a book about learning strategies if you prefer that to taking the course. #4. Podcast: http://thepsychologypodcast.com â€" a podcast by Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman where he will “give you insights into the mind, brain, behavior and creativity.” I think it’s rare to find a podcast that finds a way to cover highly academic and intellectual material in accessible, entertaining way. As the description suggests, Dr. Kaufman covers a variety of topics that are relevant to learning how to enjoy your academic life and perform better in school. #5. Smarphone app: https://evernote.com/ - a note-taking app that lets you “capture, nurture, and share your ideas across any device.” One of the keys to a successful academic and professional life is organization and prioritization. For example, in my view, the key to being a successful entrepreneur is learning how to manage your time and effectively prioritize across competing obligations and activities. Effectively capturing your thoughts and designing a system of notes on key projects and key “to-dos” is critical for me, and indeed for any student as well. Having my information and ideas captured and organized electronically is made possible through the system I have designed in Evernote. I can create notes, put them in folders, and organize by topic according to due dates and importance. Designing your own organization system for getting things done is very important. I designed my system after reading Getting Things Done by David Allen. Interestingly, science suggests that when it comes to taking notes on academic material, you’ll typically retain more by using pen and paper. Evernote allows you to type notes directly via computer or smartphone application, but also to upload images or videos and categories them as notes. These uploaded files can be tagged and are often searchable. So, sometimes I’ll take handwritten notes, snap a picture, and upload to Evernote to incorporate into my overall system. I hope you find some time to explore these resources. You won’t be disappointed.

Ready to Start Reading 3 Tips for Choosing Easy Target-language Books

Ready to Start Reading 3 Tips for Choosing Easy Target-language Books Ready to Start Reading? 3 Tips for Choosing Easy Target-language Books Reading in your target language is one of the most fulfilling things about learning it.There’s nothing in this world like reading a page of your target language and understanding it.Not to mention the benefits of carrying around a foreign language book  and impressing your friends!But getting started with native materials can seem like a Herculean task at first. What if you don’t know all the words yet? What if you cant understand what the writing is trying to convey?Then theres the question of what you should read.  Novels are so long, and the classics seem way out of reach. Even picture books can be tougher than they seem at first glance.Don’t let any of this stop you! If youre a fast-progressing beginner, an average intermediate learner or an advanced learner whos ready for a reading review, I’m here to help you ease your way into reading native-level material. Tear yourself away from the safe mooring of learners’ materials and textbooks, because we’re about to dive in to the deep end of native-level material.Well, maybe we’ll keep a floating device around. Ready to Start Reading? 3 Tips for Choosing Easy Target-language Books1. Take Advantage of Readers with Simultaneous TranslationsWhy Use Readers?Readers occupy the area between beginner-level textbooks and true native materials.This one’s for the folks out there who havent yet laid eyes upon a native-level text. (That said, some readers use non-native learners’ textsâ€"make sure you pick one up that has native material!)They provide the structure you crave, along with glossaries, vocabulary sections and sometimes even grammar notes. And some readers are graded so that you can really pinpoint where you want to go. Sure, the texts are mostly classics, but all of that support makes them totally accessible.Simultaneous translationsâ€"where one page is in your target language and the opposite page is written in your native languageâ€"though, really seal the deal. Simultaneous translations ar e the literary equivalent of having a friend guide you along. They allow the easiest transition into reading native material. Even the rawest of beginners can match up a sentence from one side of a page to a sentence on the other!Where to Find Readers?Never fearâ€"readers for major languages are easily found on the websites of  most major booksellers and on Amazon. They’re common learning tools, and you’ll likely be able to choose from many.Penguin has awesome parallel text readers in French, Spanish, German, Chinese  and Japanese.Also for Japanese, I’ve personally used Breaking into Japanese Literature,  which is of excellent quality, and the online store White Rabbit Japan has lots of options for graded readers, bilingual texts and level-specific reading material in general.There are several e-readers by Routledge and others available on VitalSource for rental (at a cheaper price than what it would normally cost to buy the book), so this is a great option if youre already us ing VitalSource for other language learning e-books or if the idea of learning primarily with digital texts sounds appealing. They have readers (and other books) for Greek, Chinese, Hindi, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, German, French, Japanese, Russian and more.The publisher Dover also has a variety of readers for these languages, so get hunting!How to Make the Most of ReadersTry to Crack the CodeTake advantage of those simultaneous translations! As stated above, they’re awesome for piecing together a half-learned language. Find a word or phrase that you know and match it up to the translation. Start with short sentences and move on from there. Try to match up the other words with their translations as well as you can, and double-check with the book’s glossary or your dictionary. Think of it like cracking a code!Add the Language to SRS FlashcardsAt the same time, keep in mind that the simultaneous translations are indeed translations, which  means that they arent perfect glossaries o r word-for-word literal translations. So, they’re not the best things to include in your SRS flashcards. Rather, use any vocabulary lists or glossaries included in the reader to SRS all the new words you’re using.In addition to using readers, you can also take advantage of the selected reading material, SRS and flashcards on the web version of MosaLingua, which is available for Spanish, French, Italian, German and Portuguese. You can read e-books in the MosaLingua library, for example, easily look up words and phrases you dont understand and then make them into flashcards to review later.Set a Specific Time to Read Each DayWhen youre first starting to wade into the world of native-level text, exposure is absolutely key. Sure, that block of text is scary at first. That’s absolutely why you need to commit to some reading time in every study sessionsâ€"five to ten minutes of looking at native text. Emphasis is on the word looking. You don’t have to understand, you don’t have to look anything up, but make sure youre taking in some of those words. Make sure you’re getting used to reading in your target language!Break  the RulesAnd finally, books don’t have to be read in the order in which theyre printed, especially if youre using them as learning tools. Khatzumoto from All Japanese All The Time spells this out brilliantly in this series of postsâ€"we don’t have to read in order because books serve us, not the other way around.Skip around!Flip the page!Skim through the whole tome until you find a sentence you understand!It’s totally fine, and much better for your studies than you getting bored and frustrated by sticking to a passage thats too difficult.2. Read Stuff You Already KnowWhy Read Stuff You’ve Already Read?If you’re an English speaker (which I’m guessing you are), then congratulations, English books are the most frequently translated in the world. That means, if you have a favorite book in English, chances are you can find it in the language of your choice. These are great for intermediate and upper-intermediate learners, but beginners can totally take a stab at reading them, too!Reading books you already know well gives you that valuable context.Context allows you to decode a new language without you having to look up every word in a dictionaryâ€"which isn’t all that much fun for anyone. Personally, I love using Harry Potter and Roald Dahl’s children’s books for this. All of these I’ve read about a million times in total, so I know what’s going to happen very intimately. It’s like a simultaneous translationâ€"but in your head!This allows me to pick up a translated Harry Potter book and dive right into the first chapterâ€"I already know what it’s going to say. I find words I know in the language and I guess at the meaning of the surrounding words.Guessing? Don’t be so alarmed. It’s not so bad to guessâ€"if you’re wrong, your studies and exposure to native media will correct it. And it keeps you actively reading!Where to Find Translated Books?Native-level books can be harder to track down if you don’t live in a  country where the target language is spoken, but there’s still hope!Amazon third-party sellers are greatâ€"just search the translated title of the book youre looking for. Keep an eye out when you’re in used bookstoresâ€"I’ve found Japanese and German Harry Potter books in Pittsburgh, Hebrew and Hungarian books in Boston and Korean books in rural Pennsylvania.You can purchase Kindle/e-book translations on Amazon in languages like Spanish, French  and German.Finally, for languages that have a presence in your country, you might have luck finding books in online stores that sell within your country, like YesAsia for Japanese and Chinese.How to Make the Most of Translations!First off, I would recommend using  children’s or young adult literature you know wellâ€"these work best for beginner and intermediate learners just starting to read native material. T hese books have easier language and easier content, and that allows you to focus on learning and practicing the language. That being said, always go for what you like. Mainstream fiction novels are often pretty close in reading level to young adult books. And if classics are what you love, go for it!When you have your book, dive in and start reading. Like with readers, feel free to skip around, skip hard paragraphs, go straight for the dialogue. Find what you recognize and read from there. You could even start with chapter titles or the table of contents! Description tends to have harder vocab, and dialogue tends to have simpler, more colloquial languageâ€"keep that in mind while you’re skipping around.Next up, don’t always use a dictionary. Refrain from trying to look everything up! Relaxâ€"you’ll definitely pick things up from context. Kató Lomb, the famous Hungarian polyglot, learned her languages primarily through novels, and she advocated for using dictionaries only spar ingly, when absolutely necessary. If you can guess, then guess!To remember all of this new information, SRS choice sentences when you have time. Don’t make SRS the sole goal of readingâ€"skimming and looking up words should be a separate activity in and of itself. SRS is an active mode of learning that you can fit in when you’re sitting down to study. When you do start with SRS, simply choose sentences where there are one or two words you don’t know. Plug in the L2 sentence on the front of the card, and the definitions of the vocab on the back. And there you go! Easy!3. Devour Comics and Picture BooksWhy Read Comics and Picture Books?Like with reading translations, the visuals here provide you with context, and that context speeds up learning! If you can’t get a translation of a book you know and love, getting your context through visuals is the next best thing, even if youre working with  a new book that you know nothing about.It’s best to find either comics or picture bo oks aimed at young readers. Comics will probably be easier to understand, since they’re aimed at younger readers. Picture books can actually be harder. Why? Because they’re often written for parents to read to their kids!Where to Find Comics and Picture Books?This will pretty much be the same as for translations. While Amazon is pretty good for Spanish if youre buying from the US, your best bet is to hunt them down through online stores that sell L2 books in the language you want; here are some examples for French, Spanish, German, Japanese  and Chinese.If youre just starting out in your target language and feel that you could use more support, Language Lizard, a site that specializes in bilingual childrens products,  offers bilingual picture books in over 40 languages. They have all of your major world languages like French, Spanish, Chinese, etc., as well as others you might not expect, like Haitian-Creole and Scottish Gaelic.How to Make the Most of Comics and Picture Books!Th ese are especially great for browsing. Embrace your inner child and look at the pictures. Pick out words you know like with anything else you read, and guess at the meaningsâ€"but this time, do so by using the pictures. Try to notice repeating words and see if you can associate them with the illustrations. Make it a game and have fun with it!Again, don’t be glued to your dictionaryâ€"especially with comics, the pictures tell half the story. Words you figure out on your own with context will stick with you longer, and that only means more proficiency for you in the long run. Be honestâ€"how often do you remember the scores of words you mechanically look up in dictionaries? Make it memorable by puzzling it out, just like a kid does when theyre learning their first language.So, youre all set to develop your own personal, target-language library.Get out there and hunt down some reading material for your shelves!Even with native-level materials, there are always ways to ease yourself i nto reading works by native speakers and for native speakers. This way, you’ll be able to read anything in no time at all!

Class sizes on the rise in most secondary schools - Tutor Hunt Blog

Class sizes on the rise in most secondary schools Class sizes on the rise in most secondary schools Class sizes on the rise in most secondary schoolsSecondary SchoolsWhen I was a pupil secondary school, way back in the 1980`s, I believe there were at least 30 of us in every class. My surname meant that I was usually assigned to sit at the back of the room, and I can still remember the swathes of pupils stretched out in from of me, all of them paying attention to the teacher, whom I could often barely hear. I seem to remember one of my classes had as many 35 pupils in attendance. By today`s standards this would probably be seen as untenably large, and there would be complaints that a single teacher couldn`t possibly hope to keep order, while also at-tending to the needs of all the pupils. The Department for Education has recently issued figures, which reveal that the average secondary school class size in 2017 was 20.8. I have to admit this figure astonished me - I had no idea that classrooms had recently become so `sparsely populated.` Of course it can only be a good thing - when I was a pupil we found it fairy easy to get up to all kinds of mischief during lessons, confident that we would evade teacher`s surveillance, there being so many of us. It seems however that classroom sizes may be on the rise - education unions have conducted a re-port suggesting that two thirds of secondary schools in England have significantly increased their class sizes in the last two years. Their findings show that, while many areas have remained un-changed, places such as York have seen classrooms grow by an average of three pupils. The Department For Education has contradicted these findings, claiming the figures are flawed, and that average class sizes haven`t changed since 2010. The response of the education unions has been that certain areas are being subjected to unacceptable increases in classroom size, citing Barnsley, Rutland, Newham, Thurrock, and Leicester as those most affected. The reason for these increases seems to be, as one would expect, lack of funding. The current re-cruitment problem in teaching, combined with 44% of new teachers leaving the profession within five years, and a failure to build enough new schools, means it`s inevitable class sizes will grow. Larger classes are not only more difficult for teachers to control, but there`s also more paperwork - more marking and more student repots, onerous tasks that every teacher has to contend with. The general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders Geoff Barton, has warned that, due to funding constraints, schools will have no choice but to increase their class sizes. `It is the last thing they want to do but they have no other choice because they have to reduce staff-ing numbers and that inevitably affects the teacher-to-pupil ratio. Larger classes mean less individu-al support for students, and put more pressure on teachers at a time when we desperately need to reduce workload.` In December Labour made a pledge to keep class sizes capped at 30 pupils, promising to recruit more than 20,000 teachers. Given the current recruitment crisis, it is by no means clear how they would achieve this. Of course the problem with some schools could be that they are simply too small, with not enough classrooms to facilitate simultaneous lessons with numerous smaller clas-ses. I have always been of the opinion that class sizes are of less importance than the quality of the les-son being presented. As long as the teacher can captivate his `audience` and hold the attention of the classroom, then it is of minor importance how many pupils are actually in the class. A bad teacher will not even be able to engage the attention and interest of a single pupil, while a good teacher should be able to present a captivating lesson to more than 30 pupils. It is of course not un-usual for lecturers at university to have a hundred or more students in their classes. Being (one cer-tainly hopes) more mature and attentive to their studies, there will admittedly be less demands upon the lecturer to ensure the students are behaving - but they will still have to deliver an engaging les-son to a larger number of pupils than would be assembled in any secondary school. 49 days ago0Add a Comment

Donald Trump Americas President That Desperately Needs to Be Impeached

Donald Trump America's President That Desperately Needs to Be Impeached Image via IndiaToday.com When is Donald Trump going to get impeached? That is a question that millions of Americans have asked on numerous occasions since Trump has been in office. His campaign slogan was “Make America Great Again” but in my opinion, he has done the complete opposite. Trump has shown on a plethora of occasions that he is 100 percent against people who don’t look, act, nor think as he does. How many more times is Trump going to be allowed to spew hatred and division of Americans in his speeches before Congress decides it’s time to vote him out? Since being in office, he has created more problems than he has solved any. His primary focuses have all been geared towards abolishing every legislation former President Barack Obama put in place. Trump has unequivocally proven he should not be the leader of the free world. He tremendously lacks the necessary intelligence to run our great nation. We could literally be on the brink of war at any given moment because of his idiocrasy towards North Korea. He uses his Twitter daily to slander people and to talk about how “unfairly” he’s been treated by the media which also shows he has a great deal of “free time” on his hands than any prior president of the United States has ever had. It’s completely mind-blowing when you think of all things that Trump has done to regress America instead of progress America. From his failed Muslim travel ban, his failed forced attempt to end Obamacare that would have left over 20 million people without health insurance (Congress is still trying to “revise” Obamacare for the “better”), his defending of the white supremacist march that took place in Charlottesville, VA, and just recently, his calling NFL players that take the knee during the National Anthem “sons of bitches.” Anyone who tries to justify the antics and the actions of Donald Trump is indeed part of the problem, not part of the solution. Supporters of him are basically saying that it is okay to openly be a racist, it is okay to publicly degrade and berate other ethnicities outside of your own, it is okay to want division amongst others who you deem “less” than yourself, and it is okay to act and speak like a fool because the saying knowledge is power is just a cliche. Donald Trump must be impeached if America does indeed want to be great. He is not for all people; he is against all people that aren’t white and that he feels doesn’t “deserve” to even be in America. He is a constant threat to everything America is and everything that makes America beautiful. If you ask me, he is America’s biggest clown and he must go!   Image via Pixabay.com
