Louis followed Elon Musk and we’re all VERY GLAD that it was pretty much for sure just his way of confirming the Tesla theory (see yesterday) because UGGGGHHH HORRIBLE. Louis, NO! But there’s literally just no possible way it can just be fully disconnected from the Tesla theory talk so… yeah. Tesla theory #CONFIRMED, wow- it feels like a million years since we had anything concrete, so that feels pretty nice to be honest. I can’t believe Louis found a loophole where him following a vile creep is actually kind of cool, fucking typical- still, I do hope he unfollows at some point. I get why he did it, following Tesla (the brand) direct would be too on the nose, he never does take a step without that plausible deniability/ SBB-fuckery (except apparently for when he said he wanted a tattoo of the number 369, SIGH, but how could we have been expected to understand that with no context? It simply wasn’t realistic), but still ewww.

Anyway he was online lots yesterday and today (so again no way in hell he missed the Tesla theory and just happened to follow Musk); he also commented on a UA post where they drew attention to the merch company’s announcement that the 369 drop merch would only be available for one day. Not so said Louis, “must have been some wires crossed.” It is limited, but not that limited! 28 days? Through May 28? Who knows but it’s set to ship out May 28, because of course it is. He also liked a post about a new DMAs song and came online to ask how we’re doing. He recced some music-- first a band, Bilk, and he responded to a question asking for female artist recs to suggest singer songwriter Celeste (recently seen in the gucci beloved campaign). He sent love to India, said he was “really happy with the designs” of the new merch, and said that a good name for a puppy was John which absolutely is not true but this man named his dog after a felonious publicist as a weird flex so like why be surprised. If “John” has some kind of interesting secret meaning he’s going to have to give us a LITTLE more than that to go on though! Bilk were psyched by the attention once they figured out what was happening-- “wtf is going on hahaha” they tweeted first (and with good reason; their previous tweets have like 200 mentions, that one has 12k!) Louis liked their tweet saying thanks for the mention.

Gym and Coffee, also overwhelmed by but enjoying the flood of clicks that come with a 1D boost, answered questions with lots of cute pictures of model!Niall pretending to shop and posing with things. Most of the questions were boring but bravo to the person who sent in just the word phenomeNIALL and to whoever posted it, that’s the stuff. I choose to believe it was CEO NIALL HORGAN, who posted it because if you think I’m done talking about Niall’s porn actor alter ego that man, you are sadly mistaken! Just because Louis was distracting doesn’t mean I’m letting this die anytime soon, it is too ridiculous!

Harry is nominated for a Billboard Music Award- Top Radio Songs Artist- and Liam posted about UNICEF’s efforts to vaccinate- “it’s so important we have the opportunity to get vaccinated.” Meanwhile, the Twix twitter (the candy bar) said that Louis and Harry were “a duo as amazing as TWIX duh”, tweeted “larry is real” and defended it in mentions, and chatted with louies about streaming Walls and which merch to buy.

“...“Scythia” was a fluid term in antiquity. For the Greeks, “Scythia” stood for an extensive cultural zone of a great many loosely connected nomadic and seminomadic ethnic and language groups that ranged over the great swath of territory extending from Thrace (another fluid geographic term in antiquity), the Black Sea, and northern Anatolia across the Caucasus Mountains to the Caspian Sea and eastward to Central and Inner Asia (it is more than four thousand miles from Thrace to the Great Wall of China).

“The Greeks call them Scythians,” wrote Herodotus; the Persians called them Saka (Chinese names included Xiongnu, Yuezhi, Xianbei, and Sai). “Although each people has a separate name of its own,” remarked the geographer Strabo, the Scythians, Massagetae, Saka, and other nomadic tribes “are given the general name of Scythians.” Pliny named twenty of the “countless tribes of Scythia.” As Gocha Tsetskhladze, a historian of Scythia, points out, “We call them Scythians because the Greeks did.” There are more restrictive modern descriptions for “Scythians” based on ethnographic, geographic, and linguistic parameters, but the terms Scythia and Scythians, the names used by the ancient Greeks, are convenient catchall terms to refer to the diverse yet culturally similar nomadic and seminomadic groups of Eurasia to western China. 

Modern historians and archaeologists use “Scythian” to refer to the vast territory characterized in antiquity by the horse-centered nomad warrior lifestyle marked by similar warfare and weapons, artistic motifs, gender relations, burial practices, and other cultural features. Scythia’s forests, grassy steppes, desert oases, and mountains were home to a multitude of individual tribes with their own names, histories, customs, and dialects but sharing a migratory life centered on horses, archery, hunting, herding, trading, raiding, and guerrilla-style warfare. Endless journeys over waterless prairies, invasions, plunder, wars, alliances, agreements, quarrels, more wars: “such is the life of nomads,” commented Strabo.

Lucian of Samosata (Syria) concurred: “Scythians live in a state of perpetual warfare, now invading, now receding, now contending for pasturage or booty.” Going by myriad names, waxing and waning in population over the centuries, continually on the move, the Scythian nomads, as described in ancient texts, had a history “inseparable from that of the nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes of the Eurasian steppes.” Their common material culture, the “Scythian Triad” of distinctive weapons, horses, and artistic “animal-style” motifs, is evident in archaeological artifacts in burials from the Carpathian Mountains to northern China. Grave goods demonstrate far-reaching trade among these groups.

Not all of these peoples wandered the ocean of grass under infinite skies, however. By the fifth century BC, seminomadic clans known as the “Royal Scythians” had come to reside in wagons or settlements clustered around the northeastern Black Sea–Don area, taking up agriculture and trade, facilitating exchange between Greece and points along the Silk Routes to Asia. It was mainly through the coastal trading colonies that the Greeks first came to hear of the many different tribes of greater Scythia. No aspect of Scythian culture unsettled the Greeks more than the status of women. Hellenes expected strict division of male and female roles. But among nomadic people, girls and boys wore the same practical clothing and learned to ride and shoot together. In small hunting and raiding groups where everyone was a stakeholder and each was expected to contribute to survival in an unforgiving environment, this way of life made good sense. 

It meant that a girl could challenge a boy in a race or archery contest, and a woman could ride her horse to hunt or care for herds alone, with other women, or with men. Women were as able as men to skirmish with enemies and defend their tribe from attackers. Self-sufficient women were valued and could achieve high status and renown. It is easy to see how these commonsense, routine features of nomad life could lead outsiders like the Greeks—who kept females dependent on males—to glamorize steppe women as mythic Amazons. The opportunity for an especially strong, ambitious woman to head women-only or mixed-sex raiding parties or even armies was exaggerated in Greek myths into a kind of war of the sexes, pitting powerful Amazon queens against great Greek heroes.

…Despite their rich culture (which flourished from the seventh century BC to about AD 500), the Saka-Scythians, Thracians, Sarmatians, and kindred groups left no written histories. What we know about them must be gleaned from other oral, written, or artistic materials, chiefly from Greece and Rome but also non-Greek sources from what is now Iran, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, India, China. The lifestyles of Eurasian nomads in later times can also contribute to our understanding of ancient life on the steppes. 

Excavations of grave mounds (kurgans) began in the 1870s, and every year since then numerous archaeological teams are uncovering more and more evidence, much of it confirming ancient Greek reports and also revealing that Scythian culture was more sophisticated and complex than previously realized. By the seventh century BC, powerful Scythian forces were attacking, plundering, and exacting tribute in Thrace, the Caucasus, and Anatolia, penetrating south as far as Syria and Media, even advancing toward Egypt and moving eastward toward China. 

The Scythians’ reach contracted again after defeats in the Near and Far East in the sixth century BC, but Scythians continued to dominate the Caucasus and Central Asian steppes. Scythians were horse people. They traveled extremely long distances by land, much of it harsh going. To reach Thrace or the mouth of the Danube or northern Greece, for example, they would follow a long southwestern arc down from the steppes. To reach Colchis, Armenia, Anatolia, and Persia from the north, they took one of two major migration routes used by nomads, traders, and invaders from time immemorial. These routes, first described by Herodotus, involved arduous journeys over or around the snow-clad Caucasus range. The Scythian Gates (or Keyhole) was a precipitous, winding mountain trail over the central Caucasus: the journey from the Sea of Azov to the Phasis River in Colchis took about thirty days. The ancient Persians called this narrow defile Dar-e Alan, “Gate of the Alans” (Daryal Pass), after one of the nomadic tribes of Scythia. 

The other difficult and longer passage, sometimes called the “Caspian Gates” or the Marpesian Rock, was between the steep eastern end of the mountains and the Caspian Sea (Persian, Darband, “Closed Gates,” modern Derbent, Dagestan). From Pontus (northeastern Turkey) Scythians could cross west into Europe (Thrace) in wintertime over the frozen Bosporus Strait between the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara. In about 1000–700 BC, Greeks began establishing colonies along the Aegean coast of Anatolia, where they became aware of local histories and legends about Amazons. Many towns in Anatolia claimed Amazons as their founders; grave mounds and other shrines were local landmarks linked with Amazons. By the eighth and seventh centuries BC, Greek adventurers began exploring the rim of the Black Sea, which they called the Euxine or simply Pontus (“the Sea”). At some later point “Pontus” came to specify the wedge of land between the Phasis River of Colchis and the Thermodon River of northeastern Anatolia. 

By the sixth century, Greek colonies were sprinkled around the Black Sea, and by 450 BC more than a dozen Greek colonies were established on the northern Black Sea, from Tyras on the Dniester River to Gorgippia (ancient Sinda), south of the Taman Peninsula, and Tanais, a Scythian trading post at the mouth of the Don River on the Sea of Azov. Descriptions of barbarian societies of the north and east, many distinguished by a degree of gender role blurring unknown in Hellenic society, began to filter back to Greece as a few traders and travelers journeyed beyond the colonies on the Black Sea, venturing deeper into the lands of nomadic groups, on the steppes, the Caucasus Mountains, around the Caspian Sea, and eastward along the trade routes to the distant Altai Mountains, India, and China. As travelers pushed farther, the stories got stranger, but meanwhile the Royal Scythians who had settled near the Black Sea colonies were becoming more familiar to the Greeks.

Literary and archaeological evidence points to an uneasy relationship between Greeks and Scythians in the Black Sea region in the sixth and fifth centuries BC, followed by a period of lively trade and mutual integration in the fourth century BC. Many slaves in Athens came from Thracian and Scythian tribes, purchased at Black Sea emporiums such as Tanais on the Don (see chapter 6 on Thrace-Scythia links). Meanwhile Greek merchants and travelers carried out commerce and made marriage alliances with Scythian clans. 

In the fifth century BC, Scythian soldiers and policemen were employed in Athens, but numerous vase paintings and inscriptions about Scythians and Thracians attest to Greek familiarity with their clothing, tattoos, and weapons by the midsixth century BC. Male archers and Amazons wearing Scythian-style costumes became favorite subjects on Athenian vases by 575 BC. Some archaic black-figure paintings (575–550 BC) show men fighting on the Amazons’ side against Greeks; scholars suggest that these could be either Scythians or Trojans. 

Around 490 BC, the time of the Persian Wars, the popularity of male Scythian archers in art faded, perhaps because of their association with Persians (although Scythians were also enemies of the Persians). But female Scythian archers—“Amazons”—never lost their popular appeal in Greek vase paintings and other art forms. Archaeologists now know that “legends about Amazons are reflected in the grave goods of excavated Scythian tombs.” The accumulating evidence of female warriors buried with their weapons is leading classical scholars to acknowledge that some Greek beliefs about Amazons were influenced by women who shared the same activities as men in the nomadic cultures of Eurasia. But this “novel” insight from modern archaeology—that Amazons were Scythian women—was already obvious to the Greeks in classical times. Whatever psychological meanings the Amazon myths may have held in antiquity, a wealth of little studied literary evidence shows that Greco-Roman authors clearly associated the Amazons with historical, nomadic Scythians at an early date.

Greek writings about Amazons indicated several different Amazon “habitats” and zones of activity in Scythia. Some sources located Amazons in Thrace and western Anatolia; some placed them in Pontus on the southern shore of the Black Sea; still others put them in the northern Black Sea–Sea of Azov–Caucasus regions; and many writers mentioned more than one locale. Modern scholars have taken this apparent inconsistency as proof that the Greeks were simply making up ecological niches for imaginary beings. 

In fact, however, this mobile “sphere of influence” for Amazons makes sense. Whether or not the ancient mythographers and historians realized it, the depiction of shifting environments around the Black Sea for the Amazons’ home bases, strongholds, migrations, and battle campaigns accurately captured the realities of nomadic life. There is no doubt that at various times in historical antiquity groups of Scythians were present in the various regions designated in classical texts as occupied by Amazons .

In Homer’s Iliad, for example, King Priam of Troy recalls seeing Amazons in northern Anatolia as a youth. At the beginning of the war with the Greeks, Priam musters his army at a man-made mound near Troy said to be the grave of the Amazon queen Myrina. Mound tumuli are scattered across Phrygia, Mysia, and Thrace, and Scythian tomb mounds (kurgans) of the seventh–sixth centuries BC exist near Sinope, Pontus. Priam’s ally Queen Penthesilea was a Thracian, but she led a band of Amazons from Pontus. The mythic quest of Jason and Argonauts for the Golden Fleece is at least as ancient in its origins as the Trojan War cycle. According to the Argonautica (the version of the myth composed by Apollonius of Rhodes, ca. 280 BC), Pontus and Colchis were occupied by three different tribes famed for women warriors (chapter 10).

In the mid-seventh century BC, the adventurer Aristeas (from an island in the Sea of Marmara) wrote about his journey east across Scythia to Issedonia and the Altai Mountains. His epic, Arimaspea (a Scythian word meaning something like “people rich in horses”), preserved only in fragments, was very influential in forming the early Greek picture of Scythia and Amazons. Aristeas said that Amazons wandered the ironrich territory around the Maeotis (Sea of Azov) and the River Tanais (Don). 

Another lost work, by Skylax of Caryanda (sixth century BC), described the Maeotians, the Sinti (Sinds), and the Sarmatians as “people ruled by women.” Several authors referred to Amazons as Maeotides, “people of the Maeotis.” (Scythian tribes around the Sea of Azov included the Sinds, Dandarii, Doschi, Ixomatae, and many others.) Other ancient historians placed Amazons and their allied forces among the nomads beyond the Borysthenes (Dnieper) River on the steppes north of the Black Sea.

Pontus was the Amazon headquarters in another lost epic, the Theseis, about the Athenian hero Theseus, probably composed in the sixth century BC. In the fifth century BC the playwright Euripides located the Amazons in Pontus; so did the poet Pindar, who described Amazons “armed with spears with broad iron points.” The play Prometheus Bound (Aeschylus, ca. 480 BC) speaks of the “fearless maidens” of Colchis and the Caucasus and the “Scythian multitudes” to the north; it foretells that this Amazon host will “one day settle at Themiscyra by the Thermodon” in Pontus. 

The fourth-century BC Greek historian Ephorus (from Cyme, named for an Amazon) reported that a faction of Scythians had once left the northern Black Sea and settled in Pontus, becoming the Amazons. The geographer Strabo (first century BC) located various Amazon tribes in the valleys and mountains of Pontus, Colchis, the Don region, and the Caucasus. Instead of evidence for Greek confusion about where to locate imaginary Amazons, these examples represented Amazons as people who roved around the Black Sea. Scythian culture was consistently recognized as the wellspring of the women warriors known as Amazons.”

Fifteen Breathtaking Facts About Filipino MMA

If you wish to find out to utilize and defend against weapons, it's tough to beat the Filipino martial arts (frequently referred to as kali and eskrima). Unlike many styles, nearly all Filipino arts put weapon training first. While different FMAs concentrate on various weapons, many of them include training with blunt and sharp weapons of different lengths, from palm sticks and knives to sticks and swords. In addition to these modern weapons being readily available today, ability in using them also transfers extremely well to daily objects, and the empty hand applications can be extremely reliable. Special, Practical Abilities Combating with and against weapons is significantly various from unarmed combating. A person can block a punch or a kick using their arm as a guard or cover. The same can not be securely done versus a machete or knife attack and would likewise be unwise even against a stick. Therefore getting out of the way utilizing footwork is of main importance. Since the Filipino martial arts concentrate on armed fighting, the footwork in many Filipino kali escrima is distinct, dynamic, and extremely efficient. Defense produce the chance for angles and approaches of attack that are uncommon in unarmed combating. However unusual does not equal inadequate. The unarmed techniques in lots of FMAs come directly from armed techniques, resulting in unexpected and functional applications. Training the special footwork and weapon strategies of the FMAs will add another measurement to your abilities. See my stick and sword page for video examples of stick and sword methods combined with FMA footwork. FMA Training Like all functional martial arts training, FMA training must consist of practice against completely withstanding, uncooperative opponents that are resisting. Unfortunately, this is lacking in a fantastic lots of FMA schools. Because real stick and sword fighting is uncommon today, a lot of specialists do not need their techniques to work. As a result of this missing out on need combined with cooperative training, numerous ineffective strategies and drills are common in kali and eskrima. Additionally, cult like followings and superstitions have established in a number of FMAs (see here and here). See my self-defense training page to discover what needs to be included to keep your training practical. The fact that lots of FMAs today are non-functional shouldn't however remove from the outstanding footwork, methods, and weapon training among them. On the pages listed below, you'll find functional weapon strategies and training approaches that will seriously increase your ability in self-defense. 1. Sticks are an extension of the hands; without the hands, there can be no sticks. This is worth knowing because people still like to ask, often sarcastically, "Why do you practice stick battling-- it's not like you bring sticks all over you go?" It's good to be able to address them, and it's excellent to be able to advise yourself when you require to. Although specialists of numerous designs do lip service to this declaration, just professionals of the Filipino martial arts back it up by doing the same exact strategies with and without weapons. 2. The Filipino martial arts (kali, escrima, arnis) teach weapons initially, after which come the empty-hand techniques. Although it may appear backwards to some martial artists, most, if not all, FMA hand-to-hand combat methods stem from the concepts that underlie the historical stick and sword motions.

3. The Filipino martial arts represent the most well-rounded and practical fighting techniques in the world. How so? They're well-rounded in that they cover all distances in which combat occurs: long range (kicking), middle variety (boxing, elbowing, kneeing) and short variety (grabbing, poking, biting, grappling). They're practical because they don't focus on elegant or complicated moves that are likely to fail under duress. Even the kinds (anyo) utilized by some Filipino systems are made up of actual fighting moves. Historically, those elements were concealed in a dance (sayaw) for a variety of reasons.

What is the difference in between Arnis, Kali and Eskrima?

The Filipino Martial Arts (FMA), like other Martial Arts, is a tree with many branches. ... Escrima/ Eskrima, is from a Spanish term which means 'fencing'. Its impact was more from the main part of the Philippines. The practicality of the Filipino arts is improved by the versatility of the weapons. At long range, you can utilize the tip of the stick or sword; at middle variety, you can utilize the body of the stick or the blade of the sword; and at brief range, you can utilize the bottom part of the stick (punyo) or handle of the sword. 4. The Filipino martial arts are the only ones that can complement any other battling design. They do not conflict with other designs; they really strengthen them. That consists of kicking arts, hand-based arts, pure self-defense arts, and grappling and tossing arts. 5. Stick combating is suitable-- and beneficial-- for everybody. For children, sinawali is appropriate. This form of double-stick battling enhances the limbs and develops hand-eye coordination along with any sport. Kids likewise benefit from the character training that happens when they find out how to safely handle weapons that are potentially dangerous. For lots of, this setting is preferable to the old method-- which is how I found out. When I was young, my grandfather taught me to handle a live blade while learning how to use it for survival and self-defense. (My first lesson: how to hand a knife to another individual.). For women, the Filipino arts are best because even the tiniest hands can hold a knife and wield it in deadly style. With minimal training, a female will have the ability to keep practically any sane assailant at bay. For the ridiculous ones who approach anyway, they risk getting cut or killed. Do not think it? Attempt this experiment: Provide a woman you know a marker, then effort to get near her without getting tattooed. It's not easy to do. As soon as she's taught how to discreetly carry and draw the weapon, your job will be exponentially tougher. Suitably equipped, she'll be able to really secure herself, even versus multiple enemies. For policemans and members of the military, the Filipino arts provide a vital set of skills-- namely, those that include the tactical knife. Our combating men and women require real blade skills, both offensive and defensive, and the Filipino arts are among the few on earth that have been evaluated in battle.

6. The Filipino martial arts assist you link the dots in your self-defense training by concentrating on versatile principles rather than a various method for each situation. FMA trainers talk about angles of attack instead of specific attacks. Once you have the ability to recognize whether an attack is originating from the within or the outside and whether it's from the left or the right, you have the base you need to deal with it. After that, your training will be about progressions and mixes including those basics. If your trainer is excellent, you won't ever find yourself splitting hairs over whether you need to resist a punch, a grab or a push delivered from the front because in FMA, they're treated the very same-- as a direct straight attack. 7. Stick combating is not just about using your weapon. It's likewise about utilizing our opponent's weapon against him. That expression is frequently invoked however hardly ever does it manifest in practice. 8. Filipino weapons training incorporates much more than just standard sticks and knives. The approaches you discover in FMA deal with sticks and knives, but in some locales, individuals aren't enabled to carry such protective implements. Luckily, you can use the skills to basically anything-- a walking cane, a mobile phone, a credit card, a toothpick, an umbrella and even a bottle of water. 9. Taking up the Filipino martial arts can renew your training, whether you're a beginner or a master. It's the reason they're so enticing to specialists of other arts. When you have a solid structure, you can find out much of the moves utilizing books and DVDs. But do not give up master-to-student interaction entirely. The meaning, principles, significance and history behind the techniques and drills are, for the most part, concealed. You'll require a legitimate master to help you analyze them. Throughout Philippines history, the martial arts design Filipino Martial arts helped Filipinos protect themselves against invaders. It has likewise proven reliable in knife and machete battles. The art has even been practiced by a range of special forces systems worldwide.

While Westerners refer to the Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) designs of stick and sword combating as Kali, Filipinos refer to it as Eskrima (or Escrima). But something is particular: if you want to know how to use weapons to secure yourself and devastate an opponent, Kali is a very efficient way to go. The History of Kali The history of nearly any martial arts style is hard to select since composed records generally stop working to accompany their beginnings. Kali's history is no different. Nevertheless, it is normally believed that the native Filipino designs associated with it were begun by various people to safeguard themselves. It is also rather possible that these styles initially originated from or were strongly affected by martial arts from other areas, such as India.

Regardless, the paperwork indicates that Filipino Martial Arts styles were utilized when the Spanish Conquistadores arrived in the 1500s and usually varied based upon the tribe or area of origin. As held true with numerous martial arts styles, the native practice of arnis martial arts was later hidden from the inhabiting Spaniards by disguising the practice in dances.

Is Kali helpful for self defense?

Kali provides a good foundation of that awareness. So, yes, in that sense, Kali is good for self defense, if for nothing else, for making one mindful that knives, sticks, and swords move really quickly, and because of that, 99.9% of empty hand deactivating methods are likely inadequate. The presence of dispute in the Philippines has no doubt assisted specialists of Kali to discover what genuinely operated in their art and discard much of what did not. In the last few years, the practice has ended up being more systemized, making it easier to learn. During World War II, a number of American special operations groups stationed in the Philippines were presented to the Filipino Martial Arts, causing this design reaching America despite the fact that locals were reluctant to permit outsiders in on their combating secrets. Most just recently, Kali practitioners in the Philippines have ended up being rather concentrated on combating without protection. Numerous died in the early phases of this motion, however more recently practitioners have started to use hardwood sticks instead of knives to reduce fatalities. Further, the practice is now unlawful in Filipino society, even if it is not uncommon to find matches in parks and rural areas. Qualities of Kali Kali concentrates on the capability to transition from combating with weapons to empty hands fluidly, as there is always the possibility of losing or being without a weapon. Though there are numerous systems of Eskrima/Kali in use today, most teach components of weapons combating, striking, grappling and throwing/ takedowns. More aggressive maneuvers like biting are also taught. Kali practitioners believe that hand-to-hand battle relocations resemble those with weapons; hence, these abilities are developed simultaneously. Some of the popular combinations of weapons used are the single stick (solo baston), double stick (double baston), and sword/stick and dagger (espada). Along with this, the most frequently utilized training weapon is the rattan, a stick about the length of its wielder's arm.

In the end, Kali professionals are understood for their lightning-fast motions and effective footwork in wielding weapons. Fundamental Objectives of Kali Martial Arts

Kali is mainly a weapons-based design of combating. Therefore, it involves causing bad, frequently deadly damage to challengers with the use of weapons and empty hand methods as quickly as possible.

Modern Arnis. Pekiti Tirsia. Fast arnis. Sayoc Kali. San Miguel Eskrima. 3 Famous Kali Practitioners. Angel Cabales: Cabales is extensively thought about the Daddy of Eskrima in the United States. Together with this, he was the first to open a school in Stockton, Calif., that taught the art to both Filipinos and non-Filipinos. Leo T. Gaje: Gaje is today keeper of the Pekiti-Tirsia Kali System. He is likewise an awardee of the Karate Hall of Popularity (the only non-Karate Awardee) and Martial Arts Hall of Popularity. Dan Inosanto: Inosanto is maybe best known for discovering Jeet Kune Do under Bruce Lee and for being the only individual approved Instructorship under him. Nevertheless, he's also very accomplished in the Filipino Martial Arts, as well as a plethora of others. In fact, he has actually assisted to save a few of the Filipino designs from extinction. Inosanto currently teaches at the Inosanto Academy of Martial Arts in Marina del Ray, Calif . Kali is an ancient term utilized to represent the martial arts in the region of the Philippines. In the Southern Philippines, it is called Kali-Silat. Silat describes the movements of the lower body. Filipino stick combating was entrenched in the island's culture long prior to the Spanish gotten here in 1521. When the Spanish shown up, they saw a wavy-edged sword about 30 inches long made from wood called a "kalis." Throughout Spanish occupation, they forbade the practice of Kali. The Spaniards called the art Eskrima or Arnis. That is why all 3 words are utilized to explain this art.

What is stick combating called?

Stick fighting is a kind of battle where specialists utilize hand held wooden sticks (typically called kali or escrima sticks) to combat each other. Stick fighting is really a nonspecific term describing the numerous weapon based martial arts designs that use stick fight in their systems. Kali is also used in India where Kali is the name of an Indian God. It is also found in Indonesia where they fight more with Silat low body language than with Kali. In Pentjak, Silat consists of a research study of the body's center of mass and how to constantly topple it. In the Southern Philippines, Silat is utilized in dance, as martial arts, and in video games. Kali stick battling established over lots of centuries and evolved to counter the fighting designs of numerous assailants. Martial arts are taught and practiced by both men and women in the Philippines. Combat was used amongst neighboring tribes and warlords. The Filipinos have a long history of women combating in fight, wars, and fight. The Filipinos pride themselves in thinking that the martial arts of their nation were a self-originated art, not borrowed from the Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, or Spanish.

The Philippines' vibrant history records the migration of numerous cultures to the islands, all of which affected the Filipino Martial Arts. Kali, Eskrima or Arnis de Mano stick combating was developed over a duration of many centuries in the Philippines as her people fought for their independence from foreign invaders. Each skirmish with a brand-new culture contributed to the kali eskrima as Kali warriors established techniques to combat foreign styles. Consequently, more than 100 various Filipino Martial Arts styles developed, which can be grouped into 3 total self-defense systems that use sticks, swords, empty hands and other weapons. The systems are called Northern, Southern, and Central. "Kali," the mother of Eskrima and Arnis de Mano, is the preferred referral by its specialists. Constantly assuming making use of the blade, whether it is the sword or knife, Kali employs lots of methods, including strikes, stances and weapon handling. It draws on influences from China, Arab missionaries, Indonesia and Spain due to migration, intrusion and profession. The highly advanced and thorough martial art from the Philippines is weapon based, however ultimately an empty hand system. The Filipino Martial Arts at the Francis Fong Academy are drawn from 26 primary sources, the instructors who Magulang Na Guro Dan Inosanto has spent his life training under. With impacts such as the late Grandmaster John La Coste, Magulang Na Guro Dan Inosanto established a program that introduces students to 12 main locations, consisting of, but not restricted to single stick, double stick, stick & dagger, double dagger, Panatukan (Filipino boxing), Sikiran (Filipino kicking methods), Kuntao & Silat. The Filipino Martial Arts have actually existed in the United States given that the 1500's, and offer something to benefit everybody. Developed for "mass attack" as well as single challenger fights, the training increases trainee's awareness of their environments and teaches them to use their environment as tools of battle. Everyday objects, such as umbrellas, books, bandannas, etc. become efficient methods of self-defense in the hands of appropriately trained individuals. Use of left and right hand strategies develop coordination. Drills and strategies taught in a fluid, non-restrictive manner enable students to boost their natural qualities and improve their sense of timing, speed, awareness, balance, dexterity and confidence. Drills from the arts of Kali, Eskrima and Arnis develop qualities in the trainee such as speed, agility, footwork, timing, body mechanics, distance, range awareness and coordination on both the left and best sides of the body. The general martial arts neighborhood utilizes the names kali eskrima to refer to the exact same art. Originally, the distinction in the name either implied the area from which the art originated or the time duration when the art was established. These three names, in addition to many others, refer to Filipino Martial Arts where skills in both empty hand and weapons are developed utilizing comparable training techniques. Professionals of these arts are noted for their ability to eliminate with weapons or empty hands interchangeably.

MEET…

Ezra Harlow

Age: 31

Birthday: July 23rd, 1990

Gender/Pronouns: Cis Female, She/Her

Hometown: Salem, MA

Length of time in Salem: Returned 2 months ago

Occupation: Singer/Songwriter & Ceramicist

Faceclaim: Riley Keough

HER STORY

tw: car accident, death, alzheimer's disease

Ezra’s story began unlike many others. When Shelly Harlow and Dominic Stanley, two best friends, drunkenly spent the night together, they never expected to become parents just nine short months later. The two have known each other since they were in middle school, saw each other go through numerous relationships, went to India the year they both turned twenty-one and while they obviously loved each other, they were not in love. But that wouldn’t stop them from being amazing parents to their kids. Instead of being raised by a couple, Ezra and her twin brother Benson were raised by two huge personalities and free-spirits, ready to make every single day unique for the little ones.

Dominic, who was a tattoo artist and mechanic, had always been the life of the party. Shelly, on the other hand, was the tiny woman by his side who refused to mow her lawn so she could watch the wildflowers grow, annoying all of her neighbors in the process. Together they raised one Ezra Harlow, a firecracker since age three. Growing up, Ezra wasn’t a shy kid, she asked many questions and was curious about all the little things which eventually turned into an appreciation of life itself when she got older.

By the time she was twelve, she had met her stepmother. Shelly met Sandra during a parent-teacher conference after Sandra Holmes discovered Ezra’s musical talent. The rest was history. The two women fell in love and soon she didn’t have just two parents, but she had three. And not only that, Ezra had someone who recognized genuine talent in her little lungs. Music had always been a part of life that seemed to hit her differently. Her collection of CDs was huge and when she picked up the guitar for the first time, it almost came naturally to learn all the cords. Then came the piano. And finally, she picked up the pen. She finished her first song when she was sixteen and hasn’t stopped writing since.

And while her strange little family was a big support system, Benson was her biggest fan. They always rolled their eyes when someone mentioned the twin connection, writing it down as a stupid hoax. But they both knew they had it. You’d rarely see one without the other, so different and yet so alike. It almost felt like they were two halves of one whole. Where Ezra was artistic, Benson was tactical. Their fights were ruthless but their bond was unbreakable - until it was cut by cruel fate. It was pouring that night, a storm just rolling in. The semi-driver claimed he hadn’t seen his car when he swerved into the other lane. They found Benson’s car in a ditch, looking more like a pile of trash than an actual car. Just short of seventeen, they buried him in his hometown. And Ezra lost half her heart.

The silence which followed was brutal. Dominic eventually left town, overtaken by grief while the three women held onto each other, trying to survive the unimaginable. Graduation rolled around and although she had planned to stay in Massachusetts, her hometown began to feel cursed. So Ezra packed her bags and moved to Oregon to attend University. However, after just one semester, she dropped out. With inner workings which were mad and sad and confused, she threw herself into writing music once again and this time it was raw and uncensored, laced with grief and the loss she had experienced. Booking gigs at bars, she was eventually discovered by a small local record label.

Turning the worst thing that had happened to her into her source of income became like therapy. Forming a small following, Ezra became famous under the name “Harlow”. Her debut album was a hit that found national recognition. Her sound was different, inventive, and honest. Moving to Los Angeles, she was taken in by bigger management and released her second album which claimed charts globally. Going on tour, she was an uncut gem in a scene thoroughly polished, attracting a large audience which allowed her even more creative freedom with a lot more support of her craft.

However, during the height of the promotional tour of her third studio album, a simple phone call shook the foundation she stood on. Sandra was diagnosed with fast progressing Alzheimers.  Unable to process the information, the last four shows were canceled and she quickly returned to Salem to be with her family.

Moving back home meant a pause in her music career but Ezra refused to let another family member slip through her fingers. Supporting both women during these hard times, she purchased the building which once housed her father’s tattoo parlor, turning it into a ceramics shop called “Still Life”.

She had time to settle back down in Salem and if someone would ask her if she was okay with all of it, she’d say yes. She’s comfortable, surrounded by people who love her and her old friends in a town still so familiar. It even inspired her to write new music, making her carry her little precious notebook everywhere. But nothing can smooth over the cracks or soften her rough edges. Though she’s become increasingly better at keeping up a smile, Benson’s ghost seems to be more alive than ever.

+  creative, empathetic, quick-witted

-  restless, impulsive, daring

· What is the first story you remember being told?

“A need to tell and hear stories is essential to the species Homo-sapiens – second in necessity apparently after nourishment and before love and shelter. Millions survive without love or home almost none in silence; the opposite of silence leads quickly to narrative, and the sound of story is the dominant sound of our lives, from the small accounts of our day’s events to the vast incommunicable construct of psychopaths’ – Edward Reynolds Price – when nothing material remains we still have cultural stories and identities built by these stories.

· There’s a large pool of stories we like to retell such as Romeo and Juliet – this links that no idea is original – universal metaphors – passing messages down through the metaphors – themes such as love, hate and conflict

· Each version applies to the new generation of the time – not just about culture

· Narrative is a document of it times

·Retold is different ways reach’s different audiences – becomes relevant to the year, the generation and what’s happening around us in the world

· Same old story – The taming of the Shrew vs 10 things I hate about you – same stereotypes apply in both stories  

·Disney Princess reflective of the times – change in female character in current years – reflects cultural narratives

 Cultural stories – help a community structure and assign meaning to history and their existences – include creation stories – community origins and fables which help teach moral values and ethical behaviour. Can help a community reinforce social norms and strengthen identity.

· ‘End of the World’ – types of stories we engage in – disaster films – global north – good vs bad – plays on climate change and the fear the goes along with – biblical repetition

   Cultural stories – old folk tale – Juha and his donkey appear in many forms – adapted from an older oral tradition – inspired other stories – central to Arabic story telling culture – gulf region – donkeys still in pop culture

What’s the difference between ‘story’ and ‘narrative’ = story is a sequence of events (plot) – Narrative is the way those events are put together to be presented to an audience. – politics and moral value

· Royal Family – all the same story – narrative different in different sources such as newspapers – depends on the newspaper’s values

‘Narrative Theory starts from the assumption that narrative is a basic human strategy for coming to terms with fundamental element’s of our experience’ – how ‘narrative is different from other types of discourse’- ‘how stories help people make sense of the world, whilst also studying how people make sense of stories’

 Matt Madden, 99 ways to tell a story – narrative changes in each comic – told in several images’ vs told in a one frame – same events, same story but a new narrative due to the construction of the story e.g. the way the story was put together not just the story itself.

 Meaning in the colour – different representation

 Narrative hard to pin down within work – so bland and boring – directly relatable – mundane experiences – plays with language within narrative making it obscure  

· Narrative of the image Dorothea Lange – ‘The Migrant Mother’ – elements missed within the frame such as the women having more children, she has also been posed – the narrative was created by Lange but it is not really telling the truth of this woman – created as an image for the great depression

   The picture of revellers in Manchester – viral sensation due to it resembling a painting

· The Fibonacci sequence – Renaissance artists would use the ratio with the visual ad of the Fibonacci spiral which is created by drawing circular arcs connecting the opposite corners of squares in the golden rectangle.

·  Narrative in digital age – due to screens narrative cannot be read like looking at a person and hearing their voice – how is a tone created in social media – can be done visually but also done with text and emojis

·  Accidental storytelling – the tone of a narrative can be lost – digital debate is often tone deaf

·  Narrating debate – done by ‘upper class gentleman’ – juxtapositions

·  Narratives in different forms – in our society there our multiple belief patterns and different types of narratives which are for the majority suppressed. The dominant classes have created the norm, a standard that is passed off as natural. This standard is reinforced by institutions such as schools and the church. Subjugated narratives have been continually produced as a response to dominant ideology. – form of protest

· Outsider art - something that’s not conventional

·  Art Therapy  is a form of outsider art – didn’t attend art uni – is it really outside art?

· ‘The Palestinian Trail of Fish: Artist’s Graffiti dives into heart of refugee struggle’ – response to the bad that is happening around the artists – controversial to make – not following the norm that has been created – comment of immigrants being fish out of water

· “My tattoos, or, rather, my single narrative tattoo, essentially charts the Eastward migration of Buddhism from its Hindu sources in India through its multiple manifestations / incarnations / influences in Tibet, Myanmar, Thailand, Indochina, China, and, finally Japan. Not unlike Shakespeare’s Parolles, from the ironically (at least from Parolles’ point of view) titled All’s Well that Ends Well, before I put my once-discrete tattoos into dialogue, into the development of classical narrative arcing, I was a “man of shreds and patches.” A tattoo here, a tattoo there. I found my nine scattered tattoos aesthetically unsightly. So over an 18-year period I worked (with the help of tattooists from Canada, Thailand, Colombia, India, Israel, Vietnam, and Hong Kong) on establishing an interconnected narrative. A story. But a postmodern story: one that includes, among other things, fragmentation, flashback, back story, interruption, and openendedness. There’s no single reading of my story of Buddhist passage.” – Jason S Polley

 Prison tattoos – narrative of their life’s being told – symbols – more semiotics than narrative? – all tattoos follow a narrative – all part of what has made you up – your life narratives – an example of subjugated narratives

·  Everything read as a text – shapes career and outlook

·  Graffiti a example of a subjugated narrative – narratives found on built environment - subversive power

· The storyteller Walter Benjamin –

·  The nesting place of the storyteller, Walter Benjamin pointed out, are in the loom shed and at the spinning wheel, in the fulling barn and the kitchen when doing tedious tasks - shelling peas in readiness for storing, sorting pulses for bagging, bottling and preserving. Stories were told to alleviate harsh labour and endless drudgery - and they were passed between generations - by the voice of experience, filled with the laughter of defiance, and the hope of just deserts.

·      Creating narrative: exploring how makers and designers are using objects and making to tell stories – never used for food and drink but used for narrative

·      Narrative fashion – everyone tells stories – fashion designers and brands use narratives to become a storyteller ‘ the expert of storytelling and apparel comes alive’ – the blouse has been passed down from generation to generation – narrative presents itself in clothing

·      Creating narrative: exploring how makers and designers are using objects and making to tell stories – never used for food and drink but used for narrative

·      Capturing a type of narrative through the aesthetic of craft by semiotics – narratives implied by signs

Set Task:

For this set task I choose to look at staged narrative. This idea came from everyones opinion of the migrant mother photography in the lecture. When asked what they thought they saw her as the mother of America, hard working, etc but no one even the lecturer mentioned that to achieve this photograph many were taken and the end product was staged by the photographer. Alongside the migrant mother I chose to look at the boy with grenade too which follows the same concept.

Dorothea Lange - Migrant Mother

The women is just a subject, ‘an appropriate symbol’ created by Lange

The symbol of the mother is created by the lack of the father figure, two small children holding onto her, the mothers gazing off past the camera - conjures emotions such as empathy but also admiring the mother at the time would of been a symbol of hope

Photograph taken for the FSA a government run project

One of the most reproduced images in history

Lange took a number of photographs of the mother and her family

There's a missing thumb - Lange had a retoucher remove the womens thumb 

Constructed narrative - how authentic is the story/narrative in the image

Raises the question what stories are true and what are not?

Child with Toy Hand Grenade in Central Park - Diane Arbus

Seminar:

Part one

The colour of pomegranates - is a less literal sense - reveals poets life visually and poetically - little dialogue 

Art that tells a story, art that is inspired by a story, art that is composed by existing stories, art that invents a whole new story opposed to a narrative 

Artists who explore stories

Susan Hiller, Monument - 41 photographs of memorial plaques, reenactment of how the work is seen - headphones on bench, voice plays through them

Mark Dion, Tate Thames Dig, 1999 - combined banks of the thames - collected hundreds of fragments of history and tokens of life - objects create inner monologue - explores time 

Doris Salcedo - Unland -The orphans tunic 1997 - address seems of loss and bereavement - period of three years spoke to children who had witnessed the murder of their parents, how individuals experiences can be conveyed by others - physical distortion that happens within work - distortion of life that happens when you lose someone

Part two - Anti-Narrative 

Desperate need to make stories to make meaning from life - what do we do with anti narrative - when every-things been flipped on its head

Paul Auster - a novel without a lot of detail where the man is - what questions begin to formulate from it? Leaves room for interpretation 

Exercise in frustration - full of paradox due to its ambiguity 

Without truth are we lost?

Definition - AntiNarrative - methods that challenge the traditional concepts of storytelling - breaks conventions and creates more question than it provides answers

Storytelling and order - need narrative structure for world to make sense

Postmodernism tolerant of ambiguity, style free work, playful work without doubt, allowed to ask a question without knowing the answers  - Lyotard, The Postmodern Condition 

Contemporary methods of experimentation - blending of boundaries, practitioners rather question that get a clear cut answer

A conversation with the viewer 

Subverting todorov - subverting the straight forward narrative structure of equilibrium, disruption and disequilibrium , an attempt to fix it, the new equilibrium

Part Three

Harvard Referencing and Paperpile

Google scholar

Little green arrow on P means it can reference

Have to format from blue hyperlinks 

 Create reference list from paperpile

Add books onto digital system

Part Four
