Kendo vs Escrima
Yesterday I got directed toward some Kendo vs. Escrima videos:
They are very intersting to watch and among the comments there is one which I think in general should stand out to all "cross training":
As I mentioned in the discussion yesterday, both fighters tend to fight according to their tournament rule set, which naturally to the safety of the combatants, includes forbidden moves.
So the common "brute" argument is "with real weapons it would like ...". Well as nobody really wants to test that out with real swords there is still an other option to "see" if one combatant is superior to the other, which in the end still says nothing about the superiority of the different styles: paint and colored markers on white clothes/armor.
An example of how it this works, is using text markers/high lighters eg. in a knife defense/offense training. Each cut leaves a marking on your arms and cloths and you can very easily see that if you ever get into a fight and sobody draws a knife that it's much wiser to run rather than stay and fight. As one trainer during a knife defense workship once said, knife defense is not to learn not to get cut but to be able to decided where you get cut.
Looking further zukurus other videos are also very interesting:

zvyej: who won?
zukuru: on experience ? .. I think both - the purpose is less to win than test the skills against non expexted and non trained situations.

Meh ...
I did some testing with my graphic card, again, and I got it to work, again.
Not sure what caused the breakdown of it, but so far it is working, although I'm closely monitoring it. I also checked the warranty and it is 24months, so I have some time to check if it just was a hickup in the system, the card not fitting or if it is somehow broken.
Apart from that, my DSL WLAN Router is still off duty because, it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting randomly, what makes surfing the internet and especially gaming rather difficult.
I'm also thinking about stopping on my WoW adventure for a while, or at least change the subscription method from credit card to game time cards. Although it is really fun to play with my old SWG mates and hang around and game with them, it just doesn't appeal to me. Having that said, expect tante to comment here in 10 ... 9 ... 8 ...
So now for the good news:
I mentioned it to some already, Tako announced last week tuesday that some of the new people at Kendo, among them myself, would receive their armor this friday.
Well, she changed her mind, I got mine already yesterday :) wooooot!

Karate vs. Kendo and Judo
I was looking for something different but stumbled upon this:
It doesn't have to reflect the reality, it's just intersting to watch :)

So, it's official now - Nürnberg
I made my decision.
Applying and looking for a new job with the current situation here at BenQ mobile I had two very promising alternatives in addition to the one staying here and hopeing that the isolvency manager would "rightsize" the remainings of the company and at the same time finds investors who would be willing to take over the buisness.
For me, i's going to be Nürnberg.
There have been nice and shiny other options, some of them including moving pretty far out but I made myself a certain deadline till when I should have made a decision and I like to at least try to stick to it.
I didn't make this decision easy for me, because the people I'm working here with are realy great people on every base, profession and personal. They are all "do-ers", they know what to do, they do it, they got the knowledge and the experience and I have learned a lot of them and it is realy a shame how in the management one mistakes has been followed by another finally leading to the insolvency. And when I'm talking about "the management" it's not totally related to the people in charge but more or less to the whole management structure. BenQ Corp. didn't managed to slim the decision making management to the "right" size speeding up decisions. The way it has been set up the responsibility has been distributed to as many people as possible so nobody was in the end able to make a decision or that group of people who should make the decisions didn't had the knowledge or expertise to take that decision, which resulted in reports from those who did, going forth and back and endless meetings discussing things over and over again.
Examplary of the fall of BenQ mobile is on a poster on a wall here in my office:
"Each company is only as good as it's processes behind it."
I can't even start talking about how wrong this is in o so many ways. Even with my limited experiences of 9 months in the "free industry" rather than at the university even the simplest mind must recognize how wrong this is.
But this blog is about me, so ....
... I'll be moving to Nürnberg to an other company in the same buisness but on a different level. One step closer to the R&D and the baseband and one step away from the making the final phones to the pre development you might say.
The plan is first: the fun stuff, visiting my godchild in Berlin, visiting my brother in Hamburg and later christmas, meanwhile trying to find an appartment somehow from KLF overthere. My contract starts on 1.1.2007 but having talked to them I got the opportunity to start on 8.1.2007 and have the option to get a room over there while I'm searching in January - I still hope they pay for that, but these details have to be clarified in the near future. One step at a time. My appartment here has been cancled, I should start packing my stuff but again one step at a time, now it's time to plan my visit in Berlin and Hamburg.
Anyway, what ever comes, I'll keep blogging from time to time - for sure.
p.s.
I graduated from yellow to orange belt in Hu Chuan Pai Kung Fu - even with a cold, yay !

Hau-Kuen aka Monkey Form
Hatte schon total verdrängt, das ich davon ja auch ein Video habe.
Ich steh zu hoch, mein Rücken ist krumm, ich patze einmal in der Mitte, bin etwas zu langsam und verhaue sie dann endgültig zum Schluss. Hier ist es:

Blech - update
Jo, gestern war ein Kickbox und Formen Turnier in Siegen und natürlich hab' ich die Gelegenheit genutzt nochmal was auf die Nase zu bekommen.
Es ging relativ früh los, nach knapp zwei Stunden durch absolutes Sauwetter. Der Beteiligung nach bei der Aufstellung hatte uns allen Hoffnung gemacht, das dieses recht kleine Tunier dafür auch recht zügig zu Ende sein würde, mäßig viele Kinder und nicht so viele verschiedene Vereine.
Falsch Gedacht.
Mit nur drei Kampfflächen zog sich das Ganze dann doch noch bis kurz nach 19:00 und dann wurde die Siegerehrung eher eine Fließbandabfertigung als eine "Ehrung".
Trotzdem von der Organisation her war das Turnier nicht so eine Katastrophe wie das in Stuttgart, meine Leistung dafür zum Teil aber umso mehr. Ich bin sowohl Formen als auch wieder Semikontakt gestart und in meiner Formenklasse als einziger gestartet. Anstatt nun eine zumindestens ordentlich Leistung hinzulegen, war ich zwar warm aber noch lange nicht "wach", sodass ich ausgerechnet in der vorletzten Technik patze - SEHR peinlich weil ausgerechnet mein eigener Sifu Jens Richter Hauptkampfrichter war.
Etwas besser dann dafür aber meine Vorstellung im Semikontakt. Drei Starter, inklusive meiner einer. Kurz gesagt, ersten Kampf gewonnen, zweiten verloren.
Ich hatte die Jungs schon in der Gruppe unter 17 gesehen und hatte schon so 'ne Ahnung das einige von denen doppelt starten würden. Dieses Mal kalt und wieder nicht ganz wach ( ich hab' glaube ich den grossteil des Tages geschlafen) , hab ich weniger auf die Punkte geachtet als mehr darauf mich an dieses Point Fighting System zu halten, was dann in einem "irgendwie zu irgendwie" zu erstaunlicherweise meinem Gunsten ausgegangen ist. Es gibt allerdings keine Aufnahme hiervon - schade. Sifu meinte noch schöne Aufhol jagt, was wohl hiess das ich zuerst in Rückstand war.
Zweiter Fight war dann auch gleich schon um den ersten Platz und ging somit 2x über 2min. Yvonne hat ein Teil der ersten 2min auf Band und die zweiten 2min ganz. Nach der ersten Hälfte stand ich 4 zu 8 zurück um dann in der zweiten Hälfte 7 zu 14 zu verlieren (oder irgendwas in diesen Dimensionen). Es war ein guter Kampf auch wenn mir gelegentlich noch offensichtliche Fehler passierten und dafür das ich mehr oder weniger aus der kalten Hose gestartet bin - Erschöpfung und Müdigkeit lassen grüssen. Insgesamt wie auch schon Stuttgart, das ganze "Punkte verteilen" ist aus meiner Shotokan Sicht zwar etwas obskur, aber es macht bock auf mehr.
Fazit:
Ein unverdienter "1st" Becher in einer Kategorie wo ich schwer gepatz habe aber alleine gestartet bin und ein ehrlich verdienter zweiter Platz Becher.
Videos folgen sobald ich sie selber habe.

I stand in shame ...
Here my two lost fights in Stuttgart at the european open championship of the international sport kickboxing association (ISKA), see also Keine blauen Flecken, aber auch keinen Plazierung.
I'm loosing so fast it's a shame to see (me right hand side in black pants and white T shirt).
Yepp, I don't have any clue what I'm doing there.
The punches are without force just aiming at speed and hitting first.
Blocks hardly count and it seems like it doens't matter how "loose" you stand, just be the first to hit "something", while I'm moving sluggish like punching bag.
We'll see how it goes, anyway it was a lot of fun, but I realized you can't get rid of 16 years Karate and 3 years Ju Jutsu in 6 months ;).

Keine blauen Flecken, aber auch keinen Plazierung
Da war ich also nun, auf der Open EM in Stuttgart der ISKA (International Sport Kickboxing Association).
Sehr cooles Wochenende auch wenn von Seiten des Veranstalters nicht alles 100% gelaufen ist. Sprich ich sollte am Samstag in der Gruppe traditionalle Süd Hand Formen starten, aber in dem Chaos ist meine Startkarte verloren gegangen.
Schade.
Ich hatte bis zum Turnier eigentlich ein recht gutes Gefühl, wurde allerdings etwas unsicher als ich bemerkte welchen Rang Sifu Jens Richter in Mitten dieser verschiedenen Schulen und Stilen einnahm. Im Gegensatz zum Karate ist hier die Meister bzw. Personenbindung doch viel stärker.
Im Karate fragt man Dich: Welchen Stil machst du, im Kungfu fragt man: Wer ist Dein Meister und ich wollte weder Sihing noch Sifu Verlegenheit bringen, indem einer Ihrer Schüler eine Kung Fu Form einfach im Karate Style läuft.
Trotzdem nervösität gehört dazu und es wär echt super interessant gewesen, weil jemand aus einem anderem Stil ebenfall die selbe Form, allerdings in seinem Stil gelaufen ist - und er wurde damit 2ter.
Sonntag: Kämpfen
-60kg +18Jahre und so wie die Jungs aussahen sind die alle sowohl bei den -18 Jahren als auch bei den +18 Jahren angemeldet worden. Sihing, war zufrieden, wobei ich mir auf dem Video (kommt noch) ansehen konnte, das man 16Jahre Karate nicht einfach in 6 Monaten Kickboxen wegkriegt.
Was ich immer noch nicht wirklich verinnerlicht habe, ist das Semi Kontakt Kickboxen mehr "Ticker" Spielen ist als Kämpfen. 1st point counts, egal wie "schlecht oder recht" er getroffen hat. Und sogar ein Block bedeutet meistens nicht das der andere nicht den Punkt bekommt.
Wie gesagt, das ganze hat dann zwar nur noch wenig mit "richtigem" Kämpfen zu tun, dafür ist's auch bei weiten weniger Unfallgefährlich als Karate oder Ju Jutsu. Trotzdem hat's sau mässig viel Spass gemacht.
Ach ja, in beiden Kämpfen bin ich nach 0 - 5 wegen technischer Unterlegenheit rausgeflogen und somit 4ter von vieren geworden. Nicht gerade eine Meisterleistung aber ich war ja auch mehr zum gucken da.
Videos und Fotos folgen.

Ja, ich schlage Frauen (updated)
sogar mit einem Stock.
Vorallem, wann hat man schon die Gelegenheit unter Aufsicht einer Frau eine andere Frau zu verhauen.
Dieses WE war nen Arnis Seminar in Oberhausen und ich hab mich das erstmal in "den Ring" getraut um dann in "Vollrüstung" ein wenig zu Kämpfen.
Sieht schlimmer aus als es ist, die Rüstung hält ne Menge auf und macht ziemlich viel Spass. Das Punktesystem hab ich zwar noch nicht ganz verstanden aber nur so zum probieren schockts schon mal.
Hab nen nettes Video von meinem Fight, ist leider ziemlich gross aber glaubt mir, ich schlag mich bestens!
Update:
Bild ist nicht das beste, aber es gibt was zu sehen.

Easy languish Journey
So I survived the Arnis Summercamp in Mühlheim, as you already might have noticed and now summervacation for Nord Rhein Westfalen finished so school starts again and with that regular training in my martial arts school.
When I though I just got used to the training the main instructor is doing the training again leaving me with a lot of ache and hurt in all my limbs. Doh do they hurt. Besides that I have today and tomorrow off to do some "office" runs getting a new passport as well getting the licence plate for my motorcycle which is running again.
I'll have to go to the netherland consulate tomorrow but after that I'll be heading back to good old OL or more to my parents to pick up the motorcycle. Wish me some good weather driving it back down here on sunday.
Oh to the guys of REB, yes I know, I know, I'll grab me a WoW trial as soon as I can to join you.

Where have I been?
First, I had my first visitors at my now not so new home. Jan and Jürgen, commenly know as, "Der Chemiker" and "Tante" have been here with a mission. To get drunk and rock out what is possible out of little KLF.
Yeah, there's not realy much to "rock out of KLF", what those two realized pretty fast.
But let's get things in order.
Friday last week the two of them arrived at my place just when I wanted to call to know how much time they would need to lit up the fire of the barbeque. Throwin' a look out of the window I see the two busy already drinking their first beer.
Nice and warm after a three hours trip, while I already had prep'ed some nice and cool ones in the fridge - laserbrains! We finished 19 beers and a bottle of Kalua and Wodke together with some milk (spell: white russian) so apart from rampaging through KLF not that much happened.
Saturday I had to take the opportunity to get to IKEA to buy some stuff, which turned out to just one "stuff", but the two of them warned me, that they we're aming to get thrown out of IKEA so I had to hurry to do my shopping before security would kick our asses. Anyway tante was still dealing with last nights alcohol and when we moved to a section Jan said, "Doah, the smell of all this paint is sure making you throw up" and tante the "man of action" he is, did just right that ROFL. Right there, right in the middle of IKEA.
Yepp the rest is up to him to tell.
Saturday night is going out time and again having the warning ringing in my mind that the two fo them are here to misbehave, I had to go to a place where I only need to go once, so I picked the Delta Park in Duisburg. Weird big disco, even with a beach party.
Let's just skip it, but somehow "beach party" was more a "bad hair day". Never seen so many bad hair styles at one place. Even Satan would go there anymore.
That was my weekend.
Apart from the "forth and back to good OL" to grab dads car and the paper work for my motorcycle my vacation started on tuesday.
5 days Arnis + Camping, two training sessions per day and depending on you skill graduations.
Now that all is hard to put into a few sentence but just let me say, even with a lot of rain, we had a whole lot of fun. Let me just toss in some random phrases that marked the weekend:
"Immer bis zum Anschlag." - "Kampf sport is wie Liebe machen." - "Mein Trainer ! Mein Schüler! HU HA !" - "Lass uns im Wasser trainieren!"
You just have to see it. I'll try to grab that short mobile video Guro made and drop it here and you might get it.
So my appartment is a mess, my arms are aching, that was a very good spent week.

Pirates and Bam Lee
That's me and since Bam Lee seems to get passed to me over and over again you get it here as well:
My pirate name is:
Iron Harry Bonney
A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you a tough person. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!

Hu Chuan Pai Kung Fu
I just graduated to the yellow belt in Hu Chuan Pai Kung Fu.
It was okay, I could have been better, wasn't that good prepared, at least in my opinion.
Kicks okay, blocks and punches okay as well. Stances mediocre, to quote yesterdays movie (Lethal Weapon) "I'm to old for this job." Arm locks, okay as well but my self defense was ... well pretty messy. The attack was a pretty simple straight punch and I had the freedom to choice "what ever I wanted" for my defense - and that was kinda the problem. "What ever I wanted" is pretty much, looking at my martial arts history, but on the other hand the time I've been practicing martial arts started to slowly sink in some favourits, which are a mixture of what I've learned so far.
And that mixture is not applicable. At least I tended to hesitate to applicate it toward my training partners. Sure I could force them but that surely hurt. I mean realy hurt. And that was not the point and it was just a yellow belt anyway.
So, happy me ! Yay! Wish I could cheer, I'm so dead exhausted I can hardly type.... Can anybody cary me to bed?
It was okay, I could have been better, wasn't that good prepared, at least in my opinion.
Kicks okay, blocks and punches okay as well. Stances mediocre, to quote yesterdays movie (Lethal Weapon) "I'm to old for this job."
