HOW to PHYSICALLY PREPARE for TRICKING by Anthony Mychal Ten Years Ago, Only a Handful of People Tricked HOW TO PHYSICALLY PREPARE FOR TRICKING BY AnTHONY mychal Ten years ago, only a handful of people tricked. Since then, however, the sport has seen a rapid climb in popularity. There are thousands of people from hundreds of countries that are flipping, twisting, and kicking in their backyards aided by the massive amount of online content, support, and resources. Even though tricking depends largely on skill, better athletes are emerging and raising the level of difficulty and complexity of the tricks. The downside of this is that most new tricksters have no formal training. In its infancy, tricksters were martial artists that were already conditioned, which helped protect from injuries and jumpstart their careers. This lack of physical preparation can devastate an athlete. As tricking advances, just like any sport, getting bigger, faster, and stronger is advantageous to prevent injuries and push the boundaries of human capability. What makes training for tricking difficult, however, is that there aren’t rules or boundaries defining the sport. There are no intervals of work and rest. You trick when you’re ready to trick. This means following programs, techniques, and regimens from other sports is very misguided. A TRICKSTEr’S NEEDS Successful tricksters will have the power and explosiveness to execute high flying moves, while also having the strength and stiffness to handle the impact of sticking a landing. But tricking is unique from others sports in that grace and flexibility are needed to execute most moves. It’s not about brute strength, but having strength in extreme ranges of motion is important to protect from injury. The good news is that the very act of tricking provides a lot of these things. Traditional techniques to get explosive, like plyometrics, aren’t necessary because tricking is plyometric by nature. Adding more high intensity jumps and hops in addition to a full tricking load will overload the system and cause injury. Make no mistake, tricking makes you explosive. Since the sport isn’t bound by offseason periods, you’ll be becoming more explosive year round. What you need to focus on are the things that tricking won’t develop. ORDER OF TRAINING METHODS You have to follow a progression of training techniques to minimize risk of injury. The continuum looks like this: skill and technique before speed, speed before strength, strength before endurance, and endurance before static flexibility. Anthony Mychal – AnthonyMychal.com - 2011 Most workouts will follow this order: dynamic warm up, tricking, static cool down. If strength work is to be done on the same day, it should be done after tricking and before the cool down. EARLY STAGES Anyone can start tricking at any time in their lives. You don’t need a martial arts or gymnastics background; you just need the motivation to persist through tough times. While the safest way to start tricking is inside of a gymnastics gym (look around your area for these places and ask if they have something called “open gym” times, which are times that anyone is allowed to come and use the equipment for usually a rate of $5 per hour), you can start in the nearest grassy field—even your backyard. A camcorder or some type of video capturing device is recommended so you can see what you’re doing wrong and share it to others that will help. But it all comes down to reading and watching the tutorials at your disposal and going out there and executing. It won’t be pretty at first, but keep at it. Go at your own pace. Compare your tricks to others and see how your body mechanics differ. Tricking is physical, but it also requires a lot of film study and note taking. Expect to be sore. No sport is like tricking, and it stresses the muscles unlike any other activity. The stiffness and pain will go away after a few days, so be patient. This especially applies right after landing new moves, especially backflip variations. The focus for a beginning trickster should be on basic kicks, the most basic tricks, strength, and flexibility. Practicing basic kicks is a form of dynamic flexibility training, which gives you the range of motion you’ll need to complete tricks later on. They serve as a great warm up and should be done prior to any tricking session. Here’s a good warm up routine that you should get into the habit of doing: 1) Neck and shoulder rolls 2) Arm, elbow, wrist, hip, trunk, and ankle circles 3) Front, back, and side leg lifts 4) Roundhouse and hook kicks, OR inside and outside crescent kicks 5) Bunny hops, tuck jumps, and single leg bounds That will get your muscles ready for most tricks. After the warm up, drill and practice the most basic tricks. They may seem easy and lack the flare of more advanced tricks, but they are the foundation. Mastering them will make future tricking easier and build up the tissue integrity of the muscles in the leg and torso. The basics of basic tricks are: tornado kicks, 360 crescents, butterfly kicks, cartwheels, and backflips. Anthony Mychal – AnthonyMychal.com - 2011 After practicing them, muscle strengthening comes next. For a beginner, it can be as simple as running through a circuit of bodyweight squats, chin-ups, and pushups a few times. This is just a primer to prepare the body, so it doesn’t have to be intensive. After the strength work, focus on the static, slow flexibility work. Spend most of your time on the hamstrings, groin, and hip flexors. Don’t be satisfied with your flexibility until you can do the front and side splits. If you’re miles away from this goal, make static stretching a priority during your cool downs. Lastly, in the beginning stage, consider the shape you’re in. If you’re overly fat, you need to clean up your diet so you can trick more efficiently. Don’t add in extra exercise to shed the extra weight, do it by manipulating your food intake. Your body has enough adapting to do with tricking. The easiest way to do lose fat is to focus on eating copious amounts of protein and vegetables, with a spattering of grains, beans, and dairy. Stop eating cake. LATE EARLY STAGES After mastering the basic tricking maneuvers and beginning to condition your body, it’s time to move onto the next tier of development. The warm up throughout your tricking career should stay constant. The only addition is incorporating the basic maneuvers into your warm up by doing a few tornado kicks, 360 crescents, butterfly kicks, and backflips after the hops and bounds. This “completes” your warm up because it becomes very tricking specific at that point. Your new goal for this stage is to master the basic tricks: the 540, 540 crescent, double leg, butterfly twist, aerial, and backflip (if not already mastered from a fear standpoint). All things considered, these tricks are still “low intensity,” which means they can be practiced 3-5 times per week. Strength work can be taken to a higher level. Tricking requires leg and hip strength, so squats or deadlifts with a barbell can be introduced to aid power and explosiveness. Finish either of those off with an exercise that works the deep hip flexors, like a hanging leg raise. Upper body strength isn’t important, nor is extra upper body mass. Training it can be as simple as sticking to chin-ups, inverted rows, pushups, dips, and other bodyweight exercises. The initial flexibility work should have primed the body for more advanced stretching techniques. Remember, range of motion isn’t enough; you need to have strength in that range of motion. Alternate days of isometric stretches and super slow kicks during your cool down. ADVANCED STAGES Progressing through the basic stages of tricking and muscle strengthening won’t be overly complicating. It’s just a matter of going out there and giving quality effort every time you can. Anthony Mychal – AnthonyMychal.com - 2011 But after the introductory stages, both tricking and weight training become more intense. Tricking is no longer about learning relatively easy moves that can be frequently practiced. What used to be tornado kicks are now jackknives. Backflips are now gainers. Even new tricks like corkscrews are introduced. Not only does it become more physically demanding, but it also becomes more mentally demanding. Remembering the nuances of every move and mustering the motivation to try more dangerous tricks takes a toll on the body. Bodyweight squats are now weighted barbell squats with an excess of your bodyweight on the bar. This fatigues the legs and can interfere with tricking to the point of altering technique and causing a lot of problems that otherwise wouldn’t occur. Fatigue management becomes more important. Keep in mind, however, that tricking should always be your priority if you want to trick better. Never prioritize energy in the weight room. All allotted energy must be used for tricking. It’s a skill, and skills need focus. PROGRAMMING STRATEGIES FOR ADVANCED STAGES To manage recovery while becoming a physical beast, one of my favorite programming strategies is managing stressors on the central nervous system. Skill is the limiting factor of becoming a better trickster. Jumping higher and being agile have their advantages, but it comes down to how skilled you are. Becoming skilled is about managing stress and recovery. If you train when you’re tired, you’re going to hurt yourself because you’re working in a slowed state. Throwing sloppy tricks only makes you better at throwing sloppy tricks.

The Root Of All Evil: Civic Genealogy From Brunetto To Dante Abstract ABSTRACT THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL: CIVIC GENEALOGY FROM BRUNETTO TO DANTE Chelsea A. Pomponio Kevin Brownlee From the thirteenth century well into the Renaissance, the legend of Florence’s origins, which cast Fiesole as the antithesis of Florentine values, was continuously rewritten to reflect the changing nature of Tuscan society. Modern criticism has tended to dismiss the legend of Florence as a purely literary conceit that bore little relation to contemporary issues. Tracing the origins of the legend in the chronicles of the Duecento to its variants in the works of Brunetto Latini and Dante Alighieri, I contend that the legend was instead a highly adaptive mode of legitimation that proved crucial in the negotiation of medieval Florentine identity. My research reveals that the legend could be continually rewritten to serve the interests of collective and individual authorities. Versions of the legend were crafted to support both republican Guelfs and imperial Ghibellines; to curry favor with the Angevin rulers of Florence and to advance an ethnocentric policy against immigrants; to support the feudal system of privilege and to condemn elite misrule; to denounce the mercantile value of profit and ot praise economic freedom.

I apologize for the lateness of this LoRR. Submissions just kept tricking in and I wanted to get as many of them through for this LoRR. Eventually I had to stop, so there will be more for next month. I must say that it has been a long time since I have seen such a diverse and creative group of submissions in one month. Not one violation of marshaling, the bordure wasn’t used on the majority of submission (a trend that has shown a lack of creativity). In this LoRR it seems the 50/50 tincture rule is being tested a lot. Out of 26 submissions, we have only two returns. A final note to our heralds out there, mostly the new ones yet some of the older too. The LoRR is an official document. Not only does it record registered arms. It records rulings, research, and notification of events. The LoRR “is” the official means of communication. Not the Yahoo groups or websites. So whether you have submission or not, I suggest you read them all. They are not only informative, at times educational, they are necessary to be the best herald you can be.

  • Is Tricking a Robot Hacking?
    Is Tricking A Robot Hacking? Ryan Calo, Ivan Evtimov, Earlence Fernandes, Tadayoshi Kohno, David O’Hair Tech Policy Lab University of Washington The term “hacking” has come to signify breaking into a computer system.1 Lawmakers crafted penalties for hacking as early as 1986 in supposed response to the movie War Games three ​ ​ years earlier in which a teenage hacker gained access to a military computer and nearly precipitated a nuclear war. Today a number of local, national, and international laws seek to hold hackers accountable for breaking into computer systems to steal information or disrupt their operation; other laws and standards incentivize private firms to use best practices in securing computers against attack. The landscape has shifted considerably from the 1980s and the days of dial-ups and mainframes. Today most people carry around the kind of computing power available to the United States military at the time of War Games in their pockets. People, institutions, and even ​ everyday objects are connected via the Internet. Driverless cars roam highways and city streets. Yet in an age of smartphones and robots, the classic paradigm of hacking, in the sense of unauthorized access to a protected system, has sufficed and persisted. All of this may be changing. A new set of techniques, aimed not at breaking into computers but at manipulating the increasingly intelligent machine learning models that control them, may force law and legal institutions to reevaluate the very nature of hacking. Three of the authors have shown, for example, that it is possible to use one’s knowledge of a system to fool a machine learning classifier (such as the classifiers one might find in a driverless car) into perceiving a stop sign as a speed limit.

The author was an officer of the College of Arms: William Crowne, Rouge Dragon, and the period of production lies between the years 1 602 and 1616.

ISSN: 1099-2170 tripwirejournal.com Oakland : 2020 FOREWORD ANTIGRAVITY began publishing Irene Silt’s “The Tricking Hour” (under the penname Saint Agatha) in the summer of 2018. At the time, New Orleans city officials were doubling down on an ongoing sterilization of the French Quarter. In the backdrop, Airbnb rentals continued devastating poor residents while service workers were taunted on a sanitized “family-friendly” Bourbon Street. It was a multi-agency, anti-vice project targeting unregulated or “seedy” economies, with an emphasis on strip clubs. Police raided multiple clubs and subjected dancers to violent and humiliating searches. They were told this was done to save them from the threat of human trafficking, but there was never a single case of human traf- ficking discovered. As the cops continued their brutal crackdown, it was not sur- prising that their motives were extremely racialized, as most clubs with a majority of black dancers were permanently closed.
