Martial arts in Africa? Yes, Africa, not Asia. It may seem
unbelievable to some, but did you know that many African martial arts
systems are actually over 50,000 years old? And today the
applications are just as used and respected on the continent as they
were when they first originated.
The Styles of African Martial Arts
There are four basic styles of martial arts that are practiced in
Africa. They are:
* Hapkido* Judo* Ju-Jitsu * Tai-Chi
Hapkido is a style of martial art that is characterized primarily by
kicking without retraction. Hapkido is composed of three primary
skills:
* Circular motion to countering and attacking* Nonresistance when
meeting force* The water principle.
Hapkido emphasizes body and mind coordination. The techniques used
here are applied by combining physics, geometry, psychology and
physiology. Kicks are most important to learn and are used as defense
against opposing kicks as hand techniques are used to defend opposing
hand strikes.

Originally martial arts were a system of combat training recorded in
murals and documents and studied over time. Nowadays you have people
using martial arts for various purposes including self-defense,
physical well-being and exercise. In terms of the different existing
martial arts, there is one that's differs from the rest in the way
that it is applied. This martial art emphasizes the use of a passive
approach in order to counter brute force. The essence of Aikido is to
cultivate a mien of relaxation and serenity in normal life. The
ability to use these techniques in combat is also part of the
training that Aikido offers its students. Aikido is quite modern
though and has its origins in Japan where it was founded sometime in
the second decade of the early 20th century. One thing to be
considered about this martial art is that the Aikido spirit is
engendered in students so these students benefit from a spiritual and
philosophical development all at the same time. All this becomes part
of the foundations of the combative art of Aikido. Currently people
who practice Aikido will tell you that the art affects every aspect
of their lives from seemingly unrelated activities such as gardening
to others like cooking. This forms a link between the way of life and
the combative training that takes place in the dojo....

More than 900 children between 1 and 14 die each year in drowning
accidents. In California, drowning is the number one cause of accidental
death for children 1-4 years of age.
But, do you really need these statistics to convince you to do
everything you can to prevent this from happening to your child or
grandchild?
The Pool Alarm is an electronic monitoring system that automatically
sounds an alarm when children or pets fall into your unsupervised pool.
It's portable, self-contained and light weight. The unit is simple to
operate. Entry into the pool will be detected by the Pool Alarm's
electronic sensor, triggering a loud pulsating alarm at the unit and
inside your house from the remote receiver.
The Pool Alarm installation is very easy. It sits on the pool deck as
shown in picture.
After you install the POOL ALARM, it can't be de-activated; it is always
in the alarm ready mode until you put it in Sleep Mode.
If someone who does not know how to put the POOL ALARM in sleep mode
attempts to remove the alarm, it will sound an alarm.
The Pool Alarm comes with a remote receiver which can be mounted in your
home up to 200 feet from the main unit. It comes with a 12 volt power
supply.
The Pool Alarm uses one a 9-volt battery (not included) which should
last approximately one year.
There is a audible low battery indicator which will sound at the
poolside alarm and the remote receiver.

How Do Stun Guns Work
A stun gun <http://www.securitysaint.com/> is an electrical
self-defense device that uses high voltage to stop an attacker. Touching
a person with the prongs on the gun quickly immobilizes the attacker.
However, because the amperage is very low, no serious or permanent
injury is inflicted.
The stun gun is designed to key into the nervous system. It dumps its
energy into the muscles at a high pulse frequency that makes the muscles
work very rapidly but not efficiently. This rapid work cycle depletes
the blood sugar by converting it into lactic acid in all just seconds.
The resulting energy loss makes it difficult to move and function. At
the same time, the tiny neurological impulses that travel throughout the
body to direct muscle movement are interrupted. This causes
disorientation and loss of balance and leaves the attacker in a passive
and confused condition for several minutes. Still, there is no
significant effect on the heart and other organs.
