Personality Numbers

Number 1

The fate of a number 1 is supposed to be that of an autocratic
leader or charismatic auteur who is able to develop a relationship
with many but is often destined to be unloved by a special someone.

The number 1 does not always have to fall into that delusion that
things have got to be "lonely at the top." If the 1 learns how to
be less self-centered and devote time to a family and spouse they
are less likely to live out their destiny as a successful loner.

Number 2

The fate of a number 2 is supposed to be a life of slavish devotion
to one person in a relationship that is so obsessive that they do
not have time for anything else in their life including a career.

The fact is that if a 2 knows that he or she is prone to
codependency there are things that he or she can do to combat that
including making a conscious effort to develop oneself. The 2 can
have his or her cake and eat it too despite what the number 2 fate
dictates!

Number 3

The number 3 fate is to forever be like a wandering minstrel who
spreads joy and charm wherever he or she goes but will never have
the inclination to settle down and build a home. The 3 also has a
reputation for being unfaithful and is also destined to be famous.

By exercising free will a 3 can actually stay out of the spotlight
as well as be faithful. It only takes a little determination and
focus. A 3 is usually quite wealthy as well so they do have the
capacity to build an empire if the desire is there.

Number 4

The number 4 fate is one fraught with challenges of all sorts. The
4 may be born poor or have health problems and the idea is that
they must transcend terrible odds in order to achieve great success.

It might very well be that the Number 4 does have all of these
challenges to take on but probably the worst thing that could
happen is that the 4 subscribes to the interpretation of the number
as being one that always has "bad luck." The danger here is that
it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. It is much better that the
Number 4 think positively instead.

Number 5

The number 5 fate is supposed to be one that is restless and
preoccupied with adventure. This number is supposed to never settle
down and develop roots and becomes anxious if saddled with one
person or situation for too long.

The truth is that the number 5 is capable of being quite rich
particularly if they focus on inner travels and being creative with
their lifestyles. Many of them also make great farmers.

Number 6

The number 6 fate is one that is destined to settle down, have lots
of children and also stay within the confines of the status quo or
moral majority. Many of them also end up supporting extended
families.

The truth is that much number 6's will passionately fight for a
cause and become warriors when it comes to defending the underdogs.
They are also brilliant when it comes to starting thriving family
businesses. They seem gentle but can be quite tough when it comes
to standing up for them and can also end up being quite rich.

Number 7

The number 7 fate number is one that describes a more homely
individual who will be living out his or her life as a lonely
eccentric genius. This individual is supposed to be easily
misunderstood and troubles relating to the opposite sex.

The truth is that there are a lot of people out there who
appreciate artistic talent or a genius and many 7s do end up in a
relationship with a person that acts almost like a caretaker. Many
7s are also very sexy simply because they have a quality of
character that is very attractive.

Number 8

The number 8 fate number is blessed because he or she is supposed
to be born rich, marry rich or quite simply just attract a lot of
money. However along with this good fortune the number 8 is also
supposed to attract a great deal of intrigue and misfortune in the
form of personal problems.

The truth is that not all them, though. Many of them marry for
love despite their love of money. The 8 can also reign in their
talent for creating drama and quite easily use their powers for
good instead of evil.

Number 9

The number 9 fate number is a "wounded healer" type number.
Destiny wise this type usually has a rough time with their health,
finances or romance and then experiences a spiritual breakthrough
that turns them into a helper of others.

The number 9 can easily take his or her destiny into their own
hands by vowing not to be a martyr in life. Focusing on their own
needs instead of always putting others first is one way they can
get ahead and take better care of their health, money and love
matters.

manipulative individual.

Karmic Number 3

Do the creative things you love just for the sheer joy of
doing them and the money will come. If you start feeling
that the world owes you a living, immediately go out and
practice an act of random kindness or charity to humble
yourself. Being smothered, bored or trapped are among your
biggest fears. You may appear threatening or meddlesome to
others at first impression.


Karmic Number 4

harmonious inside. As you are such a caretaker of others,

slide into disorder or chaos. You may appear to others as
fanatical or boring at first impression.

others may see you as a social climber or as taking others
for granted.

Kungfu Stances

"Houquan" Monkey Kung Fu

A Chinese martial art where the movements imitate monkeys or apes in fighting.

This style includes many difficult acrobatic movements and techniques executed while tumbling along the ground or prone. Monkey has terrific defense, and is considered by many to have the best defense of any shaolin kung fu style.
The 'staff' features prominently in it's weapons training.

The method uses agile, jerky movements that are both confusing and fun to watch. A famous version of monkey style is the Drunken Monkey, it is exactly what it sounds like, the practitioner acts like an intoxicated monkey.

- Drunken Monkey Kung fu style uses a lot of throat, eye, and groin strikes as well as tumbling and falling techniques. It incorporates a lot of false steps to give the appearance it is defenseless and uses a lot of off balance strikes.

- Stone Monkey Kung Fu style is a 'physical style'. The user trains up his body to exchange blows with the opponent. Stone Monkey uses the monkey's iron body method. It will leave an area exposed on it's body for you to attack, so it can attack a more vital spot on your body.

- Lost Monkey Kung Fu style feigns a lot. He gives the appearance of being lost and confused to decieve the opponent into underestimating his abilities, and he retaliates when least expected. The hands and footwork change and flow from each other at will.

- Standing or Tall Monkey Kung Fu style is a relatively conventional monkey that likes to keep an upright position and avoid tumbling around. This style is more suited for tall people. Tall monkey likes to climb body limbes to make attacks at pressure points. It's a long range style.

- Crafty monkey is very deceptive, it uses different fake emotions to lure it's opponent into attacking. By pretending to be scared for example it lulls the opponent into a false sense of security and waits for the opponenets guard to be down, then suddenly attacks when not expected.

- Wooden Monkey Kung Fu style is a serious, angry monkey that attacks and defends with ferocity. The attitude of this monkey is more serious, and it's movements are noticably less light than other monkeys. Wood monkey likes to grapple and bring it's opponent to the ground.

"Gouquan" Dog Kung Fu

A martial arts style from China. A special form of Chinese boxing that specializes in takedowns and ground fighting.

Often favored by women, the fighter typically assumes a stance that recquires that both hands and feet be on the ground, resembling a dog. This form of martial arts also teaches Iron Shirt, and Iron Palm fighting methods, as well as specialized leaping techniques. The reason for the unusual all fours stance and it's traditionally being practiced by women is that it was originally developed by a buddhist nun who could not afford a retinue and had bound feet- so found any form of physical exertion on her feet difficult.

"Hu quan" Tiger Kung Fu

The names of techniques feature 'tiger' imagery.

The purpose of imitating the tiger is to develop the very Yang qualities of fearlessness and aggression when faced with an opponent. The tiger attacks in a straight line and rarely retreats, the tiger style relies on external 'jing' or mechanical and kinetic force generated through the shifting of weight and rotation of the waist rather than the internal qi form arts like tai chi and hsing i.

Most of it's strikes are clubbing and claw strikes. The focus of this style is in the hand posture, the tiger claw, in which the wrist is drawn back, the fingers spread as wide as possible and the fingertips held forward to deliver a blow while grasping and twisting. When delivered successfully, all five fingers should drive forcefully into the opponent with the strength of a tiger's claw. The tiger's ferocious overwhelming of the calculating, fast leopard with constant linear strikes.

"???" Leopard Kung Fu

The emphasis of leopard is speed and angular attack.

The leopard does not overwhelm or rely on strength, as does the tiger, but while it does have power it instead relies on speed and outsmarting it's opponent. It uses it's speed to deliver it's power. The leopard user will focus on elbows, knees, low kicks, and leopard punches, all at close range.

The goals of the leopard style are to:
Develop muscle speed for external strength, teach patience, and use the leopard punch for penetration and lower body springing power.

Blocking is wasted in leopard- the style can be summed up with "why block when you can hit?" It doesn't rely on rooted stances and would only assume a stance while in attack in order to launch at opponent. This hit and run technique of the leopard, something especially effective agianst larger opponents.

The primary weapon is the leopard's claw, which can be likened to a half opened fist. The primary striking surface is the ridge formed by folding the fingers at the first phalangal joint. The secondary striking surface is the palm. The leopard claw can also be modified for grabbing and tearing.

Leopard is especially useful at night, when the blinding hand and foot movements are invisible. Movement is accomplished far faster than the eye can compensate for in reduced light. Leopard is also useful on wet ground. An interesting technique of the leopard is the ability to simultaneously block and strike the opponent. This is not commonly used in harder martial arts like other shaolin styles for example. The sheer speed of the leopard is a defining characteristic of the style, however as with all martial arts of this style, the user's ability to provide the necessary speed diminishes as he ages, reducing his efficiency in combat. The leopard is the "ghost" of the 5 animals because it is hard to see because it is so fast, quiet, patient and waiting to strike at the right moment. The style has many stealth techniques that are useful in moving around undetectable at night where one uses the eyes, speed, stealth and cunning in supposed imitation of the leopard. The darkness is considered a useful asset in the leopard style, it was often used by assassins as well as warriors.

The other four animals being: Crane (Bai He), Tiger (Fu), Snake (She), and Dragon (Lung).

These five animals originally represented the five classical chinese elements before developing into their own styles.

Snake is water, Tiger is fire, Crane is wood, Dragon is earth, Leopard is metal. Since they were derived from the five elements, they are kept in this patter.
At this point many styles delve into more advanced animal training or actual element training.
The proof behind this element/animal system is the contention that one animal "beats" another, and their appropriate corresponding elements also "overpower" one another.

For instance: Snake/Water beats Tiger/Fire.
Tiger/Fire beats Leopard/Metal.

"Shequan" Snake kung fu

Snake's waterlike movement, kungfu masters tell their students to imagine a river during movement.

It is a 'soft' martial art with fluid motions to entwine with their opponent's defense and strike from angles they wouldn't expect in offense. Snake generally aims at weak points of the human body, such as eyes, groin, and joints. Snake users must always avoid conflict, as taking in part of any physical combat, it will cause great damage to an opponent making anyone who is skilled in this style very dangerous.

Praying Mantis Kung Fu

Involves whip-like/circular motions to deflect direct attacks, and follows up with precise attacks to the opponent's vital spots. Block to create a gap, and use rapid attack. It can also use the force it was attacked by, if it blocks the attack, and use that force to power their own attack. Famous for speed, continuous attacks, and complex footwork.

Praying Mantis Hook - A hook made of three fingers directing force in a whip-like manner. It may be used to divert force (block) or attack critical spots (eyes, face, accupuncture points).

Divert Force - Blocks any blow from the enemy. If the user is attacked physically while blocking, they use the same amount of force that attacked them and use it back on the enemy.

Seven Stars - Hardest of the Mantis styles. Hard hitting and subtle. Many blows fired in quick succession around the opponent's head, chest and shoulders.

Sixth Harmony - Softest or most internal of the Mantis styles. Creates sythe-like energy by swiping arms up and down in a close-range attack. Various soft-swiping blows to the face and stomach of the enemy.

Mantis Long Fist - Stretches arm and swipes with the left fist, directed at the right side of the opponent's head.

Mantis Throwing Hand - Pulls back arm and swipes forward with the right fist, throwing a sythe-like energy mass at the opponent from long-range.

Secret Gate of Praying Mantis - Holds hands in a form as if praying, but with tightened palms. Runs forward and ducks swifty just as they reach the area of the opponent. Then finally strikes the enemy, comming up from below.

Mantis's Seeking Leg - ???

Fujian White Crane

Sleeping crane fist - Accupuncture technique where the crane's beak pecks at a point on the opponent which knocks them unconcious.

Jumping crane - Leaps into the air and uses kicks directed at the opponent's lower body to keep aerial, as both cranes beaks' peck rapidly at the opponent's upper body until the user lands on the ground.

Crying crane fist - Runs at top speed with cranes beaks held in position to attack, and strikes the opponent as they run past in a faint but stunning attack.

Morning crane - A crushing attack in which the user gouges the opponent's chest, heart, shoulder and neck quickly switching off between both hands. This technique is said to shock the opponent's system, making them jump for a moment.

Flying crane fist - Both cranes beaks are held to the right side of the body as the user runs towards the enemy with the left side forward. As they come by, they swoop below the opponent's upperbody as to evade any countering, and strike the opponent's legs. Then come up quickly and turn as they get farther away.

Karate Origin

Karate originated in China, then came to Japan.

Karate means "Empty Hand" and comes from the words Kara "empty", and te "hand".
Today it is known primarily as a 'hard style' striking art, featuring linear punches, blocks, kicks, knee/elbow strikes and open handed techniques.
However, 'soft style' punches and blocks, grappling, joint manipulations, locks, restraints, throws, and vital point striking are often a part of many karate styles.

Kihon means "basics or fundamentals of karate", kata is "forms of karate" and kumite is "sparring karate". There are also different ways of using karate; as an art, as a sport, and as self defense training.

Weapons are another important area of training, as well as psychological elements combined into a proper kokoro, meaning "attitude".
Psychological elements of kokoro include: perserverance, fearlessness, virtue and leadership skills. Often the execution of a technique known as "karateka", are encouraged to issue a kiai or "spirit shout".

Kata "Forms:
If kihon "basics" were the heart and brain of karate, then kata "forms" would be the spine. Kata can also mean "form" or "pattern", they are patterns of movements and techniques that demonstrate physical combat principles. Kata may be thought of as fixed sequences of movements that address various types of attack and defense under ideal circumstances.

Kumite "Sparring":
Kumite is literally "meeting of hands" and has many ways to interpret the word. Sparring may be constrained by many rules or it may be free sparring. Today it is practiced both as sport and for self-defense training. Sport sparring tends to be one hit "tag" type contact for points. Depending on style or teacher, practical aikido and judo-type takedowns and grappling may be involved alongside punching and kicking.

Kokoro "Attitude":
Kokoro is a concept that crosses through many types of martial arts. It has no single meaning though, it can mean something like "heart", "character" or "attitude". Character is a central concept in karate, and in keeping with the dō nature of modern karate, there is great emphasis on improving oneself.

Some popular quotes about the concept of kokoro are:
"The ultimate aim of karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the character of it's participants." - Gichin Funakoshi

"The Way is not meant as a way of fighting. It is a path on which you travel to find your own inner peace and harmony. It is yours to seek and find." - Hironori Ohtsuka

Respect is another important part of karate. It is about cleansing oneself and strengthening character. The spirit of osu is to push oneself to the limit of one's ability, to persevere under pressure, to endure. This is why it is said that "Karate always begins and ends with rei."

Kobudō "Weapons training":
Although technically meaning "old martial way", kubudo refers specifically to the old martial way of Okinawa, and even more specifically, to the traditional weapons of Okinawa. These mostly include kama "sickle", tonfa "stick with handle", sai "fork" and bo "staff", although there are several others as well.

Conditioning
Many styles of karate also include specialized conditioning equipment, known in Japanese collectively as hojo undo. Some of the common devices are the makiwara, the chi-ishi (a kind of off center free weight) and 'nigiri game' (large jars used for grip strength).

Rank
Oirignally karate training didn't use a ranking system. After introduction to Japan, some adopted only three obi (belt) colors: white, brown, and black. With seven levels of each.

Here is the original belt system:
Ungraded - white
8th-4th kyu - white
3rd-1st kyu - brown
1st dan and above - black

As karate became more widespread, some added more colors and ranks to the system. Many schools have systems that look roughly like the following, with variations.

10th kyu - white
9th kyu - yellow
8th kyu - orange
7th kyu - orange
6th kyu - green
5th kyu - blue
4th kyu - purple
3rd kyu - brown
2nd kyu - brown
1st kyu - brown
1st-5th (or all levels of black) dan - black
6th-8th dan - black, or red with white stripes
9th-10th dan - black or red.
