Warning: the following Blog contains extensive amounts of  Jujitsu and Martial Arts terminology. If this offends or confuses you, then why are you reading this post? *looks around, and sees the reader still wanting to read* You're still here? Excellent, Hadijimemashou!


Danzan Ryu Jujitsu, one of my passions that life has a habit of getting in the way of sometimes. lol,
but seriously it's fun. Tonight Sensei Delina had one of her friends Sensei Murph teach both the 4:30 & 5:45 classes. Wednesdays are the days when I usually would attend 1 class but since my mom has a colonoscopy tomorrow  she couldn't take me, instead my younger "sisters" took me up to Chico & I could attend both classes. Normally I take one Jujitsu class on Wednesdays & mom goes to church. 


Boy am I glad that I went. 1: I worked out with some of my brothers on the mat. Those brothers like me hadn't been on the mat in a while.  and 2: Sensei Murph helped us work on different kata & variations.


The first class one could say was dominated by Blue Saiyans. :D Most of the students, including yours truly, wear bluebelts without a stripe. Blue Belt w/o stripe = Gokyu. 


Sensei Delina herself was promoted to Godan  at the AJJF National Convention in 2010. I was so proud of her!! 


Because none of the students were whitebelters, Sensei Murph had us work on Okuri Harai. She brought up a really good point. She took a hanbo from the weapons rack and asked would it be easier to sweep the stick if it was in the air (she held it about ankle high) or touching the mat. The answer is obvious. in the air. 


At the very last 20 minutes of class we worked on pins. In the pins Uki's head is pinned under Tori's center. 
Those kinds of grappling kata would do damage on glasses, so I had to remove my glasses and set them aside.


The 2nd class was almost identical to the first!

KIFF:I'm Queen of the... wait, What?... & how does W101 inform the public and gain new wizards? 6/12

Just a note before we begin, the planet Antario was created by my Venture (writing class for dyslexic students) teacher & me way back in 1995. I'm using this as an example of a fictional nation. Also this blog will attempt to stay bias free.  Outside the Spiral More than likely you're fed up with the way things are run in RL (gamerspeak for real life) and think you can do better if you're handed the reins. Or maybe you just want to escape reality and create your own city/world/planet/universe where you are the ruler/deity/sovereign. There are games for that. On Facebook for example, the Zynga games of Pioneer Trail, Castleville, Cityville and any other *.Ville that the red dog logo'd company can come up with, allow the player to create their own virtual "Homestead" (Pioneer Trail), "Kingdom" (Castleville), "City" (Cityville) where with the help of free gifts from neighbors and the friendly NPCs giving you quests to advance the st...

KIFF: gamers can be game-changers, and safety first young wizard 5/12

Just a side note before we begin, any entries that have KIFF: as the first word are part of Keeping it Family Friendly.  This week we'll be in and out of the Spiral. Outside the Spiral Gamers are able to help scientists come up with cures for cancer... there is a game called Foldit  where gamers can use their visual spatial skills, honed by many hours of gaming, to fold proteins. Since diseases and a slew of other organic stuff is made up of protiens, one tiny change in the structure of the protien could alter the molecule and change a disease into a cure. you have to download the client to start playing though. (for more detail please click on the word Foldit, it will take you to the website)   Last year, the horrible earthquake and tsunami attacked Japan. The Zynga game Farmville let you plant Daikon radishes on your farms. Each daikon planted raised money to help the Nihon-jin (Japanese people) it was part of the Japan Earthquake relief event  (n...

KIFF: everything Young Wizard, comes with a cost. Social Media & Buisness 7/12

Before we begin, you might notice that my blogs are divided into two sections, Inside & Outside the Spiral. Inside the Spiral directly relates the topic of the week to Wizard101 & Kingsisle. Outside the Spiral relates to online gaming as a whole. If the weekly topic doesn't really match Wizard101 more information will be Outside the Spiral. Remember that the in-game universe of Wizard101 is called the Spiral.  Inside the Spiral Nothing, not even family friendly online games, is free. Wizard101 is no exception. Wizard101 does start out as a free-to-play game. New wizards are given access to the Commons, Unicorn Way, Old Town & Triton Avenue for absolutely free. However after a wizard reaches level 10, they most likely will have finished those areas and will need to access other streets. Unfortunantly those streets, and the rest of the worlds are premium content. keep in mind both of my accounts have access to approximately 90% of the Spiral. As was said earlier...
