Kempo Karate

Kempo Karate, which is also known as Kenpo, is among the most popular forms of karate, developed in the West. The word means kempo law of the fist, as well as this form of martial art has long been regarded as a combination art for the fact that it involves the use of hard fist (karate-do), soft fist (Ju Jitsu) and weapons ( Kobudo). At the most basic, teaches Kempo Karate sparring and sparring drills for a specific purpose to help students learn and understand the basic movements and the application of the kicking and punching combinations. This is actually where the Kempo Karate sparring techniques come in. Well, the sparring techniques are classified according to the intent of the program. As Ive mentioned before, is a combination art. It is often used primarily for self defense, self-control and protection against weapons. However, unlike other forms of martial arts, Kempo Karate style differs from the traditional Karate in several important respects. With this fact, the students who want to learn sparring techniques strongly encouraged to change and the ancient and modern techniques to adapt sparring. There are two major techniques involved in Kempo Karate sparring for self defense. The first is called Tuite or take the hand techniques, and the other is it essential? Le point attacks or Kyusho.

Both sparring techniques are highly regarded as they help students develop their skills by letting them practice using a variety of threatening situations. The basic self-defense techniques involve defenses against grabs, pushes, punches, holds, kicks, and weapon defenses. The vital points Kempo Karate sparring techniques as basically regarded as the most striking and sophisticated techniques in the martial arts. They well be used against selected anatomical points of the nervous system and circulatory system. Note that these vital points techniques that temporarily shut down an opponent than his ability to retaliate. As what most experts say this kind of self-defense technique, the key is precision, not strength. As the students progress in learning the techniques of self defense Kempo Karate sparring, they will be taught with the forms and katas, or the higher level of Kempo Karate sparring techniques. These techniques are considered to help students develop a sense of self-awareness and self-expression. As such, the movements involved in this level students to develop their reflexes and timing in a controlled environment, while exercising a sporting activity. This is actually where the advanced techniques and combinations, such as the front thrust kick, spinning heel kick, shoulder, throw off balance, roundhouse kick, Crescent kick triple jump, etc. Finally, Kempo Karate sparring teaches students how to use weapons. To my knowledge, this is strongly considered in any Kempo training to students to increase understanding of self-defense. So it is common for the defense techniques against knives and clubs are taught from the yellow band. The so-called empty hand sparring techniques such as Bassai, Tomari seisan, sai, kama, nunchaku, and others are herein? Introduced. Note that both the defense and the use of weapons techniques of Kempo round of training students in the first degree black belt, known as shodan.

Diesel Vehicles


Both diesel cars and light trucks are receiving a
lot of attention in the United States as a near
term strategy to achieve fuel economy and climate
change goals.
The renewed interest in diesel as of late stems
from its potential to improve passenger vehicle
fuel economy.  The best diesel passenger vehicles
of today are more efficient on fuel than their
gas counterparts, helping to reduce carbon
emissions by 30 percent or more.
There are some auto makers that are talking about
re-introducing diesel into light duty markets as
a solution for reducing global warming pollution
from both cars and trucks.  Another important
reason is that the higher efficiency of diesels
will provide a quick fix for manufacturers who
are struggling to meet federal fuel economy
standards for light trucks.
Even if the efficiency benefits of diesel do
yield real world improvements on the economy, the
potential climate change benefits are modest.
Even though diesel achieves more miles per gallon
than gasoline, many are concerned about the
impact that diesel passenger vehicles have on
the economy.  From time to time, the combustion
in the engine can cause black emissions to spit
from the exhaust, which is actually very bad
for the economy.
While gas is actually the worst, diesel is taking
strides to improve engines and the impact on
the economy.  Diesel is getting more and more
popular these days, as gas prices continue to
rise and rise.
Although diesel engines can have an impact on
the economy, they are the way to go for those
looking to conserve mileage.  Diesel vehicles
cost more than gas vehicles, although they will
offer you more than you can expect.  If you are
looking for a quality ride, diesel is the way
to go.

Diesel Engines Neglected Treasures


There are very few engine configurations that promise increased fuel economy and power.  There are few engines that offer this in addition to reliability. Today, those across the ocean are enjoying the
fruits of diesel technology revolution. Diesels have experienced a great history here in the United States.  I 1980, General Motors modified their 350ci gas V8 to run on diesel fuel.  The result however, wasn’t that god.  These engines offered better fuel economy but little else.  They werr very slow, and not very reliable.
Mercedes Benz on the other hand, had better luck in the 1980s with an array of vehicles available
with diesel engines.  These great vehicles offered
amazing durability although they were rough, noisy,
and smoked quite a bit.  Volkswagon offered diesel
as well, although they had a habit for spewing
blue smoke from the tail pipe.
Throughout the 90s, Benz and Volkwagon offered
diesel vehicles in the United States, with each
generation becoming cleaner, smoother, and more
powerful than the last.  Overall, they were a
tough sell as they still lacked the horsepower
that many were seeking.
Today, Mercedes, BMW, Jaguar, Volkswagon, Ford,
and many other manufacturers are offering diesels
to many markets throughout the world.  To put it
simple, forget everything you know or think you
know about diesel engines in the United States.
These newer engines benefit from hundreds of
technical innovations.  There are several diesels
in Europe that offer better acceleration than
their gasoline counter parts.  BMW’s 120d has
163bhp, goes 0 – 60 in under 8 seconds, and
achieves 49.6 miles per gallon.
Benz offers the C320 CDI SE that has 224bhp, and
over 360 lb foot of torque.  This car gets just
under 48 mpg on the highway, with an acceleration
of 0 – 60 in under 7 seconds.  Throughout North
America, you won’t find a gasoline engine that
offers this unique blend of fuel economy and
excellent performance.
The reason why diesels haven’t caught on in
North America comes down to one word – sulfur.  We
have too much sulfur in the diesel here in the
United States.  This cheap grade of diesel fuel
will run havoc on the more sophisticated diesels
offered overseas and cause an increase in
emissions.
There is hope however, as refiners will soon be
producing what is known as ultra low sulfur
diesel fuel.  This will help to reduce the sulfur
content from 500ppm to 15ppm.

Entering the world of automation


The purpose of this blog is to share my experience in the vast world of industrial automation. In particular we discuss issues related to the products of the German firm Siemens , a world leader in this area of technology.

It is always good to know how were the origins and evolution of the technique before going into the details of programming and systems design. This allows a better understanding of why the existence of graphical programming languages such as Ladder (Logic contacts) or typical questions such as who started as: Would not it be easier and cheaper to build a dedicated circuit to solve this application? Here I leave some useful links.
