>Rope dart ? A soft weapon for self-defense Posted by johnssmith00 on February 14th Cheap Doug McDermott Jersey , 2014
There was a time in China when soft weapons were very popular among martial arts practitioners. Today, weapons like the meteor hammer and rope dart are not that common as before, but they are still used in some training regimens of traditional martial arts, and they can still prove their effectiveness in self-defense.
In fact, this is the entire purpose of a martial art: to help people protect themselves better. Martial arts appeared when people needed a higher level of protection against any threat of harm. They were not created to promote murders or other forms of crime, because this is not part of the martial arts philosophy.
A rope dart is basically a sash made of silk and features two small pockets at each end, where the practitioner can place anything from sand bags to steel balls. For training Cheap Raymond Felton Jersey , specialists recommend sashes that have gummy bears at their ends, since stronger items could seriously injure or even kill those who learn the art of the sash.
In the past, rope darts were made from hard materials, that is why it was very difficult to master them. It is still complicated to control a weapon like this, but it has become easier than before, because nowadays rope darts feature softer materials. To learn about such weapon, those interested should contact a personal trainer Shanghai.

In some ways this article is a continuation of Managaging Your Team (Part 4) in that 'influencers from a position of authority or expertise may be guilty (consciously or unconsciously) of ignoring inputs from team members or, just as damaging, putting down under-valuing the contribution made and the contributor who made it.
Unfortunately Cheap Ray Allen Jersey , all of us may be guilty of this behaviour from time to time and often this attitude and behaviour will be accompanied with...
"C'mon, I was only joking! Don't be so sensitive"
One of the main root causes of this behaviour, as I have touched on previously is based on our value system.
We live, breath, and act our own values - they are who we are and, therefore, are extremely important to each of us whether we are fully aware of them or not.
Never being late for meetings or appointments. Always prepared to listen and not talk over others. If a commitment is made, it is kept. Mobile 'phones remain switched off in team meetings. Treat others as you would wish them to treat you.
You've guessed it, not surprisingly, these are values that are very important to me in both my personal and business lives. Yours may be the same or totally different. To illustrate the point...
Punctuality is extremely important to you, it is one of your primary values. So, how do you feel when team members regularly turn up late to your meetings? How do those who turn up on time feel when you wait until everyone has arrived before you start the meeting? What message are you sending out?
NOW, let's say you have just given your views Cheap Enes Kanter Jersey , made a suggestion to the group and it is completely ignored. How do you feel?
Who's guilty of plopping - you are - you've just plopped! Everyone else continues with the group discussion which bears no relevance to the inputs you've made.
You're left sitting there (or worse standing there) wondering what the heck has just happened.
O.K. in the overall scheme of things it will happen to all of us at some time and by understanding that fact, we won't get things out of perspective or over-react.
However, we do need to focus on the challenge or issue when a team member is ignored or under-valued repeatedly by the rest of the team or one individual frequently under-values other team members
You could argue that the title of this article should be...
Who's Guilty of Making Me Plop?"
Just maybe...
I did not make my inputs clear enough Actually, what I said was somewhat irrelevant to the main point Other team members misunderstood what I meant I was guilty of interrupting someone else and breaking their flow My action caused someone else to 'plop' or feel discounted
