“The techniques should not be practised simply so they can be performed in the kata. Since karate is a fighting art each technique and movement has its own meaning. The karateka must consider their meaning, how and why they are effective, and practise accordingly” ShouldArtFightingPracticeMovementExerciseTechniquePerformingConsiderationMartial ArtsEffectivenessKaratePractiseHidden Meaning Author:Shigeru Egami
“It takes great technique, tremendous discipline and energy and practice, and damn few are capable. Art is confidence.

“Partial repetitions is another technique that I used -- sparingly. I was always a fan of doing full repetitions on every set. However, at the very end of a set where you cannot do any more, and especially if you don't have a training partner, the partial repetitions are good for eking out a little bit more out of the exercise.” IfsLittlesEndsUsedBitsFansExerciseLittle BitTrainingTechniquePartnersRepetitionTraining Partners Author:Lee Labrada

“My father was a very good amateur pianist, and he had a collection of books on technique. One of the things he had was a small volume of exercises by Rudolf Ganz, in which Ganz mentions the pedagogical work of the Swiss composer, Émile-Robert Blanchet, who wrote a ton of polyphonic exercises for one-hand. These exercises were a great help for finger independence, which I acquired early on. This might have given me somewhat of an edge, a facility to be able to knock any obstacle that was in my way.” WayBookHelpingHandsMightAbleFatherGivenExerciseIndependenceFingersVery GoodEdgesObstaclesTechniqueMilesMy WayCollectionsComposerVolumeFacilityPianistSwiss Author:Marc-Andre Hamelin

“I don't believe that it's inconsistent to be suspicious of people and also be totally comfortable with deploying the technology, because you know its fractal potential. It's a vote for politics. It's a vote for the will to politics. There will be people, a one percent of people, that can use this stuff effectively, develop it, implement it. That's why it's necessary. That's why civilization exists, so those few people can exercise incredible techniques.” PeopleKnowsBelieveUseStuffTechnologyExerciseCivilizationComfortablePercentVoteDon't BelieveIncrediblesTechniqueSuspiciousInconsistentFractalsDeploying Author:Cody Wilson
