[Quote No.22726] Need Area: Body > General
"[Poem: about the mystery of dying and death]
'After Apple Picking'
My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree,
Toward heaven still.
And there's a barrel that I didn't fill,
Beside it, and there may be two or three'
Apples I didn't pick upon some bough.
But I am done with apple-picking now.
Essence of winter sleep is on the night,
The scent of apples; I am drowsing off.
I cannot shake the shimmer from my sight,
I got from looking through a pane of glass,
I skimmed this morning from the water-trough,
And held against the world of hoary grass.
It melted, and I let it fall and break.
But I was well,
Upon my way to sleep before it fell,
And I could tell,
What form my dreaming was about to take.
Magnified apples appear and reappear,
Stem end and blossom end,
And every fleck of russet showing clear.
My instep arch not only keeps the ache,
It keeps the pressure of a ladder-round.
And I keep hearing from the cellar-bin,
That rumbling sound,
Of load on load of apples coming in.
For I have had too much,
Of apple-picking; I am overtired,
Of the great harvest I myself desired.
There were ten thousand thousand fruit to touch,
Cherish in hand, lift down, and not let fall,
For all,
That struck the earth,
No matter if not bruised, or spiked with stubble,
Went surely to the cider-apple heap,
As of no worth.
One can see what will trouble,
This sleep of mine, whatever sleep it is.
Were he not gone,
The woodchuck could say whether it's like his,
Long sleep, as I describe its coming on,
Or just some human sleep.
" - Robert Frost
(1874 – 1963) famous American poet. ‘After Apple Picking’ poem – about passing away.

[Quote No.23278] Need Area: Body > General
"Imagi-Natives, in association with Fast Holdings, have developed 'Imagi-Natives’ Self-Defence’. [Please refer to link on www.imagi-natives.com website]
The martial art field is crowded with different styles, all with differing benefits, but most based on traditions and techniques developed for war, where serious injury or even death of the opposition is acceptable. These are not suited to the challenges of self-protection and the protection of private property in a civilised society run by the rule of law.
It is also important to note that justified civil litigation by individuals against security forces, their employers and individuals defending themselves, is becoming easier and more frequent, and the compensation larger. It is therefore important that the groups involved in this important work develop and maintain the highest standards of professionalism and use the very best practice available, to minimise the likelihood of legally unjustified injury and then successful civil or even criminal litigation.
Imagi-Natives, in association with Fast Holdings, have over the past decade researched and developed a unique, comprehensive, maximum safety - minimum force, non-percussive [no punches or kicks], empty-handed self-defense system for police, prison and security officers, as well as private individuals, focussed on restraint and arrest methods. These methods are based on Chinese Shaolin Chin-Na [‘Seize and Control’] methods and supplemented by Aikido, Jujitsu and Judo principles and techniques. They are less likely to cause legally unjustified injury because there is no first strike taught and the method’s minimum force responses to aggression are much less likely to cause lasting serious damage than any percussive martial art to the user or the aggressor. This would undoubtedly be taken into account should the incident go before the courts.
These comprehensive, weapon-less methods are based on simple arm-bar takedown techniques, which make them quick and safer to learn and practise, and extraordinarily simple, quick and effective in use in the ‘fog’ of a physical struggle.
We recommend that the methods are used alone but they can be used in conjunction with any other martial art, to bring the struggle to a conclusion." - Seymour@imagi-natives.com

[Quote No.30853] Need Area: Body > General
"[Self-Defence -Chin Na, Chin-Na, Qin Na - and Martial arts:] Martial Morality:- In martial arts, it is well known that a student's success is not determined by her external appearance, nor by how strong or weak she is, but rather by the student's way of thinking and her morality. Chinese martial artists have a saying:'A student will spend three years looking for a good teacher, and a teacher will test the student for three years.' Good martial arts teachers do not teach only martial techniques, they also teach a way of life. In Chinese, martial morality is called 'Wude'. Teachers have long considered 'Wude' to be the most important criterion for students, and have made it the most important part of traditional martial arts training. There are two aspects of 'Wude'; morality of deed, and morality of mind. Morality of deed includes Humility, Respect, Righteousness, Trust and Loyalty. Morality of mind includes Will, Endurance, Perseverance, Patience and Courage. Of the two, morality of deed is more important as it concerns interaction with other people. Morality of mind is for self-cultivation. It allows wisdom to regulate emotion. Developing morality of mind is the key to martial arts training and will allow a martial artist to achieve the highest levels.
" - Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming
Famous 20th Century Chin-Na Master [Please refer Imagi-Natives' Self-Defence Product on this web-site]

[Quote No.52468] Need Area: Body > General
"[Poem: about the mystery of death and remembering someone who has died.]
'Remember'
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
