The incidents leading up to the death are very much unclear, but all fingers seem to point towards Gu Kailai, recently dubbed as the Chinese Jackie Kennedy, the mother of one of Heywood’s associates, with a fi nancial motive being the probable cause. Heywood is thought to have helped the family with processing legal fees in the U.K. and a dispute between the two parties was supposed to have escalated in days before the event. Police assure that justice will be served, no matter who the culprit turns out to be. This all comes as the investigation into Bo Xilai heightens. The former head of the Chongqing faction of the Communist Party has been accused of serious disciplinary violations and could pay the ultimate price for his sins. They do say blood is thicker than water… BMW = Beijing Motor Works? China has just helped German car manufacturing giant BMW reach record sales fi gures, as it still seems the insatiable thirst for purchasing can’t be satisfi ed on the Mainland. For the fi rst time, BMW have sold more motors in China than the U.S., with a total of over 80,000, around 20% of its total worldwide sales. The brand has cleaned up right across the board, with its Rolls Royce and Mini divisions also announcing record profi ts. This also comes at the same time as Volkswagen’s reports of similar fi nancial fortunes, with a 10% increase in annual sales for 2011. It just goes to show that effi ciency really is the key… ON THE BUSES The Chinese authorities have made emergency legislation to improve the service and safety record of school buses, in the aftermath of some horrific tragedies in recent months. The series of fatal accidents has resulted in public fury, one of the worst being last month’s collision in southern Guangdong between an overloaded bus and an oncoming truck, leaving three pupils dead. The vehicle was licensed to carry a maximum of 11 people, yet in reality was crammed with almost 20. Manufacturing guidelines will be monitored and offending motorists should expect the toughest penalties for transporting illegal numbers of passengers. The worst case by far was the crash in Gansu province in November last year, which resulted in 20 deaths, as a bus, which only had nine seats, but was holding a hardly believable 64 people onboard, also met its fate with a juggernaut. Better to take your kids to school yourself… THREE HAIL MARYS We've seen a lot of rain in recent weeks, haven't we? It looks like the Sun is just teasing us. Some have suffered a lot more than a wet bonce as hail storms hit eastern Jiangxi, killing three and leaving dozens injured, and over 900 homes damaged in their Culture Vulture wake. Also badly affected were Two-Handed Exchange In China, as well as in Vietnam and Japan, it is important to give and receive items with two hands. It is not enough to do so with just the right or left – it must be both hands parts of Guizhou province, where there were stories together. Using both hands at the same time suggests that you are giving full dedication of hailstones up to 2 inches in diameter and weighing to the item or transaction at (and in!) hand. Foreigners would be forgiven for not almost 20 grams, damaging property and causing partaking in this tradition through ignorance, but locals would be seriously judged for untold destruction.

  • Kickboxing Official Grading Syllabus Traditional Japanese, Chinese
    Kickboxing Official grading syllabus Traditional Japanese, Chinese & Okinawan Martial arts Price £2.50 Kickboxing – A Brief history Tatsuo Yamada, who established "Nihon Kempo Karate-do", was interested in Muay Thai because he wanted to perform Karate matches with full-contact rules since practitioners are not allowed to hit each other directly in karate matches. Yamada had already announced his plan which was named "The draft principles of project of establishment of a new sport and its industrialization" in November 1959 and he proposed the tentative name of "Karate-boxing" for this new sport. Yamada started studying with a Muay Thai champion, formerly his son Kan Yamada's sparring partner. Osamu Noguchi who was a promoter of boxing and was also interested in Muay Thai took the Thai fighter and developed a combined martial art of karate and Thai boxing and creating the term kickboxing in the 1950s. In 1963 three karate fighters from Oyama dojo (Kyokushinkai Karate) went to the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Thailand, and fought against 3 Muay Thai fighters winning two of the three bouts. The three fighters' names were Tadashi Nakamura, Kenji Kurosaki and Akio Fujihira (also known as Noboru Osawa). The original kickboxing allowed throwing and butting in the beginning to distinguish it from the Muay Thai style, although this was later dropped. The Kickboxing Association, the first kickboxing sanctioning body, was founded by Osamu Noguchi in 1966 soon after that. Then the first kickboxing event was held in Osaka on the 11th April 1966. Tatsu Yamada died in 1967; his dojo changed its name to Suginami Gym, and kept sending fighters off to support kickboxing.

    ZÁVĚREČNÁ ABSOLVENTSKÁ PRÁCE IX. ročník Kickbox, Vojtěch Kopeček Kickboxing (Kickbox) je bojový sport , ve kterém se využívají k porážce soupeře kopy z tradičních bojových umění (např. karate ) a boxerské údery. Kickbox je sport , ve kterém bojovníci stojí, a proto zde není povoleno pokračovat v boji, když se jeden z bojovníků ocitne na zemi. - 1 - ZÁVĚREČNÁ ABSOLVENTSKÁ PRÁCE IX. ročník Kickbox, Vojtěch Kopeček Existují tři hlavní obranné postoje (guardy nebo styly). Guard se mění styl od stylu, od zápasníka k zápasníkovi – někteří bojovníci mají svůj guard posazený výše pro lepší obranu hlavy, někteří naopak níže, aby lépe odráželi údery na tělo. Mnoho bojovníku mění svůj postoj i několikrát během zápasu v závislosti na momentální situaci tak, aby se co nejlépe a nejefektivněji ochránili. - 2 - ZÁVĚREČNÁ ABSOLVENTSKÁ PRÁCE IX. ročník Kickbox, Vojtěch Kopeček Tatsu Yamada zemřel v roce 1967 , ale jeho dojo nezaniklo, pouze změnilo název na Suginami Gym a začalo vychovávat první kickboxery, které později vysílalo na podporu a propagaci tohoto sportu. Kickbox zaznamenal v Japonsku explozi a vzestup popularity v momentě, kdy začal být vysílán v televizi. Mezi první mediálně oblíbené kickboxery patřil Tadashi Sawamura. Stejně jak rychle tento rozmach začal, tak také skončil. Kickbox se stal nepopulárním poté, co Sawamura ukončil kariéru. Kickbox se v televizi neobjevil, až do roku 1993, kdy vznikly zápasy K-1 . V roce 1993, kdy Kazuyoshi Ishii (zakladatel Seidokan karate) rozjel zápasy K-1 se speciálními kickboxovými pravidly (žádné lokty a klinče), se stal kickbox opět velmi populární. Tento sport se tak rozšířil i po Evropě , do Ameriky , Austrálie a na Nový Zéland . - 3 - ZÁVĚREČNÁ ABSOLVENTSKÁ PRÁCE IX.

El kick boxing tiene sus orígenes en boxeo occidental, el karate japonés, y en el muay thai de Tailandia, también llamado "thai boxing". Osamu Noguchi era hijo de un campeón de los pesos pesados en Boxeo. Desde niño había practicado dicho deporte hasta que sufrió una lesión en la espalda y tuvo que abandonarlo. Se convirtió en promotor y organizador de peleas de boxeo en Japón y realizó varios viajes a Tailandia donde conoció a Naront Siri, maestro de Muay Thai. Al tener también buenas relaciones con Masutatsu Ōyama, fundador del Karate estilo Kyokushinkai, decide organizar en los años 70 una serie de combates entre los thai-boxers y los karatekas de Oyama, entre los que se encontraba Kenji Kurosaki, mano derecha del propio Oyama. Una vez en Tailandia, se suceden tres combates; dos de los cuales los ganan los japoneses y el propio Kurosaki pierde contra el rival tailandés por un golpe de codo descendente. En ese momento, Noguchi comienza a planear la adaptación del Muay Thai en Japón, por lo que a principios de los años 60, Kurosaki, Siri y Noguchi llaman al nuevo deporte "Karate Boxing", sin mucho éxito en Japón. No es hasta 1968 cuando al nuevo deporte se le llama Kick Boxing y se funda la primera federación en el mundo, en Japón.

After an intensive year of learning about cities, places, people and human activities, it was time to write my thesis. Luckily, I had the opportunity to let many of my interests come together in this thesis: new urban cities, time use, international orientation and my curiosity to understand different cultural views. The topic about urban Chinese middle class families has kept me interested until the end. I could not have written this thesis without the help of others. First, I would like to thank my supervisor professor Arnold Reijndorp and his co-tutor MSc. Ching Wen Yang, who provided me valuable input to get back on track when I felt lost in the topic. Furthermore, I would like to thank INTI for providing us the opportunity and financial support to do research in Shenzhen. Furthermore, I am grateful to all the anonymous Chinese respondents for their cooperation. The many inspiring interviews gave me insight in the lives of these middle class families in Shenzhen.

  • Muay Thai Word of Thanks
    Muay Thai Word of thanks Writing a book is something you are never able to do alone. For the publication of this book, I would like to specially thank Miss Jaguar To from Force One Hong Kong who made this book possible. She was my student and the first woman who had the courage to open a gym not operated by a man. I admire her for all the work she has done and still is doing for Muay Thai as she has suffered enormous personal losses and harm yet still has a good mood and a great mind. In addition, you can find her in the gym every day. I also would like to thank Zheng Wang, my Chinese translator, who always steers my work and helps me to perfect it. I would also like to thank my children Arayana, Anoma and Erawan van der Veere.
