Isato Kubo stands out in the martial arts, for his expertise in disciplines like Taikiken and Iken. Isato Kubo stands out in the martial arts world as a formidable fighter, embodying both technical expertise and the indomitable spirit central to disciplines such as Taikiken and Iken. Trained under the lineage that traces back to the roots of Yiquan, Isato Kubo merges the traditional ethos with a modern understanding of combat efficiency. This approach results in a style that is simultaneously fluid, powerful, and steeped in centuries of refined wisdom. At the heart of Isato Kubo’s practice lies Taikiken. Developed by Kenichi Sawai, Taikiken emphasizes natural movement, internal power (often referred to as “Yi” or intent), and a spontaneous response to changing circumstances. The practice demands intense focus, internal awareness, and the cultivation of explosive strength hidden beneath relaxed postures. Isato Kubo’s mastery of Taikiken speaks to his unwavering dedication to both its physical techniques and the philosophical underpinnings of calm adaptability. Additionally, his immersion in the practice of Iken – a derivative of Yiquan that focuses on simplicity, directness, and continuous evolution – has refined Isato Kubo’s strategic approach. The hallmark of Iken is the cultivation of internal force through standing meditation and subtle body alignment, which fosters unparalleled speed and resilience. Isato Kubo’s ability to merge these principles, translating them seamlessly into practical combat scenarios, marks him as an exceptional representative of Iken’s potential. Beyond technique, Isato Kubo’s training ethic and fighting mindset are testaments to the profound transformation that dedicated martial practice can induce. His journey resonates with martial artists worldwide, showcasing that, with the proper balance of discipline, patience, and an unyielding pursuit of progress, even the most complex internal arts can become formidable tools for personal and combative mastery. Isato Kubo’s story underscores the living tradition of Taikiken and Iken, highlighting how these arts serve as both physical disciplines and life philosophies, encouraging continuous self-refinement and profound self-discovery.

Crazy Ideas…9?

We've all heard stories about Danny Phantom, where he ends up guarding Dani's, Dan's, or the clones' cores inside his body… We've also heard stories where Danny ends up kidnapped and so injured that he has to hide inside his core and ends up being cared for by someone who doesn't know exactly what's going on…

But what if, for example, instead of being cared for like a gem, Danny's core ends up implanted in Jason?…

I mean, imagine one night on patrol, Red Hood is touring his territory when, out of nowhere, a purple shadow with red eyes attacks them. It passes so quickly through him that he only thinks he's hallucinating because of the x number of days he's gone without sleep because of the last case.

So he grabs his things and goes home, unaware that they've already implanted a core inside him…

Figured since Tiktok is going down in America I'd move this video over here.

If you're still taking requests, how about Agent Phoenix getting stuck due to a door that just won't open? (It's not locked, just... stuck. XD) /nf

bold of you to assume that A. they can be contained and B. that they wouldn’t be willing to instantly resort to the most destructive solution available

I'm watching s1 again (because I can) and I don't think we speak enough about what a prodigy Jinx is.

She has been making these explosives since she was, what, nine years old? She made a whole Hextech device from scratch without formal training? At the age of 16-17? Can we speak about how smart she is?

She's been making weapons since she was a child. And she's only getting good at it.

Just like a Hextech Ruin.

hey! i totally get that it's generally just a response to Big Giant Metal Piece on Staff, but id prefer if folks could refrain from making too many jokes about Josephine beating people up in the future.

while, yes, she is very much a character who gets involved with Blood and Confrontations and the like, direct violence is not her foray, and I'm a little off put by the assumption that it is 😅

The staff is a Magic Conduit and also a physical support for leaning on [and as such is a mobility aid in part], not something used for attacks outside of correspodance and discordance moves🫡

Wokecula vs Chudula, and by that I mean how do you still think Remmick and Dracula would interact.

I hope they kill each other <3

was kinda thinking about this when I saw Renee Rapp live recently-- I didn't know her visual vibe, I'd heard a few songs here and there but I hadn't really *seen* her, and her attire at Osheaga was really casual, a jersey (baseball/basketball?) and slacks. And that was so amazing! I couldn't help thinking, the work Billie Eilish has done for how women in pop music are allowed to dress is incredible. Seeing her up there all comfortable you just know that Billie walked in her oversized tops so that Renee in her slacks could run; Billie walked through all the critcisms about how she dressed slobbily and having to assert that she didn't owe anyone a display of skin, so that Renee could be comfortable and unquestioned running up and down the catwalk in front of 10,000 people. How iconic.

And I don't think we even realised at the time how much something as simple as letting Billie dress the way she as a (then-) 17-year-old teenager dressed, could end up meaning for a future generation of women in music.

Obviously there is still way to go, there were weirdos complaining about how 'plain' Dua Lipa's Glastonbury outfit was this year (in 2024!!), l have to ask, are you at Paris Fashion Week?? She is the musical HEADLINER of an entire day of music at one of the biggest music festivals in the world, and you can't grant her the space to exist as an artist, you have to moan about her dress not being excitingly revealing enough. There's work to do, it's still dismal out there. But the space Billie Eilish has created for a most ordinarily-dressed woman popstar is still heartening.

Is there like, a website or something where I can ask medical professionals how a characters injuries would act/kill them so I can write them accurately?

There is something healing for Hyra to simply... abandon her job in Daggerford post game. She has dedicated so much time to a place where she was forced to be an outsider and choosing instead to simply not return is very hard.

She loves the city, but not because it is home (she has only simply had a place to live), but because she dedicates herself so fully to people, places, and causes.

An incredibly big heart chained her to her duty.

She is okay if she's assumed dead by Lady Daggerford, and replaced. She wants something quieter for herself and to build a place that she can hopefully call home. It's part of the reason she joins Halsin post-game, she genuinely believes in building a life.
