TEN METHODS OF THE HEAVENLY DRAGON I recently came across this book by Robert Scheaffer in Amazon, or rather the book came to me. I had actually passed on the book several times previous, because the cover seemed to be rather bland, and I imagined the contents to be a semi-fictionalized account of the author's time in Taiwan with some orientalist tropes thrown in forgood measure.
But there was something that finally drew me to click and buy the book, perhaps hoping that it would be along the lines of Matthew Polly's "American Shaolin" or Lindsey Wei's "The Valley Spirit". This genre of literature has always been a fun leisure read for me ever since I read "Angry White Pajamas" by Robert Twigger who spent a year studying Yoshinkan Aikido in Tokyo. 1Feb

MOROI 脆い - AN EXPLORATION OF HUMAN FRAGILITY Last week a young artist by the name of Mizuki Nishiyama reached out to me as an avid reader of my blog. She had a background that seems almost tailor made for this blog as a Japanese that grew up in Hong Kong and is now based in New York. As part of our correspondence she sent me some samples of her work which I have share here with myreaders.

I find them disturbing and visceral, hitting you like a punch in thegut.

INTERSTITIUM
For those martial artists who have been following the fascia and internal power discussion through the years, there was a nice piece in the various international media about the discovery of a new "organ" last Tuesday - the interstitium. The new organ is a thin layer of dense connective tissue throughout the body, sandwiched just under our skin and within the middle layer of every visceral organ.Apr

UKIYO E HEROES
This is one of the sites that I wanted to share with my readers, during my absence. One of my many hobbies is collecting Japanese woodblock prints, which I have done on and off over the years, started during my time in Philadelphia in 1999. So it came my attention earlier in the year that an artist Jed Henry was making woodblock prints in the traditional Japanese style but incorporating modern characters from video games and science fiction. The stuff blew mymind.

RETURN TO POSTING
To all my readers, I have recently returned to posting on my blog after about a long hiatus. I think the discipline will be good for me as I begin to think about various developments that have happened in the intervening years. As a catch up here are some of the things I have been working on since the time I last posted on my blog. For the martial arts enthusiasts I have continued to practice my various styles - Baguazhang, Yiquan and Tai Chi. 5Oct

TAICHI: THE STORY OF A CHINESE MASTER I had the good fortune to be contacted by Marc Meyer, a musician and author regarding his new novel entitled Taichi: The Story of a Chinese Master in America. Although a little hesitant in agreeing to his request for a book review, I am glad I did. 2Jul

TANAKA MIN - 田中泯 I came across Tanaka Min when I recently watched the Ruroni Kenshin るろうに剣心 movie trilogy on DVD. The sword choreography was absolutely amazing and should be watched for that alone. Otherwise I am not a big fan of the franchise for I find Kenshin a little too effete and the main female character unconvincing as a practitionerof budo. 2

DC SUPERHEROES REIMAGINED IN FEUDAL JAPAN On a lighter note, in an attempt to post more often I came across the artist Britney Williams, a self described freelance comics artist, skateboarder and character designer. She has reimagined the DC Superheroes such as Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman in a Japanese feudal setting and it is pretty awesome. Not much commentary from me,just enjoy.

NEW TWIN SWORDS FORGED BY LONGSHIP ARMOURY LLC 日月雙劍 These are a pair of Chinese swords I custom ordered from Longship Armoury LLC based in the United States which was established in 2011 as a successor to Odin Blades. The blades are hand forged by master weapon smith John Lundemo and unlike many other smithies like the ones in Longquan, they work hard to ensure that the blades are actually accurate and combat ready and are not purely decorative pieces. In addition the prices are much more reasonable. 11Translate
