Blog Extension

In the interest of expressing different sides of myself, more often, and in a different way, I have joined Tumblr.
The reason I chose it was because of the flexibility. I hope to continue posting here, maybe with some extra inspiration from Tumblr, but this will continue to be a higher grade blog. The Tumblr will be for much more general content, such as things I like or little quotes that are meaningful. I'll probably copy my quotes here.

Having said that, I am at http://hannahkchristian.tumblr.com

Positive Links #1

The last two posts I've made about www.judoinfo.com haven't been the most positive ones. In the last one, I mentioned that I do in fact like the site and that I am simply making corrections as I see them. Now to balance the critique, here are a few aspects that I do quite like about the site. Keep in mind that since this website has been running 1995 so they have many, many resources and I am gradually discovering what they have.

http://judoinfo.com/katamenu.htm

After having my interested piqued by Feldenkrais from reading his "Judo: The Art of Defense and Attack" in which he finishes with briefly covering the most common forms of kata, I realised that I have never followed up on the others forms. I've only ever watch the Nage-No-Kata, which is the set of pre-arranged throws, used particularly for blue, brown and black belt gradings.
Found at the above hyperlink is, and appropriately names, a menu of katas.

I will also be starting a new page for judo and martial arts-related content so most (if not all) relative posts will be included on that page too.

Rescue Remedy

It has been a while since I've had the chance to post anything so I'm trying to get back into the swing of it.
To start, I wish to recommend Bach's Rescue Remedy. I don't use it often but there was a period of my life where I was tense and using this natural remedy helped to calm me. This one is a spray that is applied to the tongue. I quite like the taste and I dare say others do too. It's certainly worth keeping a small bottle just in case of stressful times, especially when your tummy feels fragile. It is a little expensive, but it will last for quite some time.
