However some seem to revel in it and take it seriously , happy to stay there . You are encouraged however to move on quickly to the next ceremony , part , 'pendant' to it . There , all of that is mocked, taken apart , disrupted , even one's 'identity ' . - all preparation for what is to come . ** Studying Okinawan MA for many years ... I mean studying, not just practicing , it includes understanding the mind set , culture and traditions ( this is specifically what ' Teacher ' hope his students would do .

This technique not only forcibly takes away your Yang qi but it will also take away your chance at producing future generations! Oh ... teacher challenges student then ? I am experienced at that . My karate' instructor ' ( who constantly mocked aikido for being ineffective ) surprise attacked me with my own training wooden machete 'to see if I was any good in a real situation ' . he ended up sitting on the ground , moaning , the machete several metres away , got a broken shoulder . Onlooking students assure him I really only evaded , didnt use force at all and it looked more like a dance movement . If he had 'gone with it ' he would have been ok , but since he refused to even look at any principles associated with aikido, he didnt know how to fall away or roll out of it , HE moved in a direction the shoulder does not go , and broke his own shoulder . Now, I suppose you are not as silly or untrained as that .... Master ? if so ... or of not ... let's get it on ! This is the special technique I developed to defeat you with ; I call it the 'evading , roll out , crane arms , reverse upward, sole of the shoe, ball slap ... from underneath ' . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Always wanting attention and help. nope, not my cuppa tea there are better ways to live the autumn of life The term "Master", in my opinion, can refer to a person who has mastery of something, who may or may not have students. Your sentiment is not uncommon. Many "masters" refuse to take in students, and they may instruct a "friend" on a temporary basis. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nungali Posted February 6 10 hours ago, blue eyed snake said: so it's about choosing your fishing grounds wisely I am not up to stingrays anymore so I go for the carps Indeed . a diversion ... Spoiler A story . 'Choose your fishing grounds wisely ' When I first moved to this area, I noticed a lack of Aboriginal people . I asked about that and got the usual answers, ignorance and cover up ( later I learned about the massacres ) but eventually I found the 'outskirts' to where the survivors had been driven to . I had heard one or two stories or occasionally spotted one . One day I am driving along a newly discovered toad ( for me ) , it goes along the land side of a waterway , this is where two rivers meet, before going into the ocean , making a huge mangrove / wetland area with lots of channels and an island in the middle . I saw some houses in amongst the 'swampy conditions ' and recognized them as probably housing some indigenous families ' Aha ! This where they are .' The I saw an old guy ahead of me walking down the road with fishing rod and basket ... ;there is one , I'll pick him up '. So I stopped and asked him if he wanted a ride and he got in . Great , finally got to meet one . Later I found it it was actually 'Uncle Tom ' the 'head man ' / most senior man and elder of these people . He was obviously going fishing, I was interested in his experience and know how . I offered to take him to his spot . No ... 'here will do ' . I insisted, I dont mind I will take you right there . He gave me a suspicious look, then a cheeky one ; " Nope, I know what you are up to, you want to know where my best fishing spot is . " years later, after Tom had passed on * I went looking for it . I think I found it, it must be it , along that part of the foreshore there is only really one place suitable or clear enough of mangroves and rocks and there , there is a very old ruins of some type of stone dock or jetty going out over the tidal mud flats and into deeper water . This must be it . But there are oyster racks just out there , just waiting to snag one's line . So I did the 'Aboriginal thing' ; sat quietly, waited (for a longer time than 'we' would usually wait ) watched , observed .... the tide turned and started to go out , the water was high and it started flowing between that dock and the oyster racks . I noticed some shadowy forms under those oyster racks so I got a bit of bait and dropped it in that part of the current , it went out alongside the edge of the rack and then BAM ! out came a bream, snapped it up and ducked back under the rack . So I then asked '' Uncle Tom, can I catch one of your fish please ? " I got a stick, broke it off and tied it to a bit of line so it floated a prawn at the right depth , put it in the right part of the current so it floated along the side of the rack ... BAM ! straight away , a bream . Then again, next throw in . Thats enough for dinner . So I left a little offering in the grass , said thank you and left . More recently I went there ; tide wrong, wind wrong , it just didnt look right ' a voice in my head ' ; if you want dinner , go over the other side , over there on the sand flats . Okay . I got two small ones that I threw back , and then thats when I caught the stingray . I am sure if an indigenous person, some time ago, had caught one they would eat it .. Well, I suppose I had better do that then , since I was lead to it . That involved all sorts of 'adventure ' . I have never done that before . I won' t describe it , you can see if you look up a youtube on how to prepare a live stingray for cooking .... ugh ! Anyway, suffice to say, if it happens again, I will release it . So yes , choose the place wisely ... but also the timing - best times are when the Sun and Moon are both on a quarter station , the best combo seems to be when Moon is at IC during sunset . * he was one of the great old guy indigenous from around here .... many of the old uncles where a 'different breed' , holding knowledge and understanding that the modern generation ...... (wince ) 'applies differently ' ... they all gone now - Also, so is the island - virtually . For a while the indigenous where forced to stay there , I have heard there is even an old unmarked cemetery there . It is 'crown land ' ( basically 'seized for the Queen ' ) that someone had a cattle lease on ! Its half mangrove wetlands ! totally unsuitable for that and very flood prone . It sold two years back to a private individual or enterprise , a huge price, the advert for the sale explained ' No access - there is a place suitable for a helipad ' . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never cut up one myself, always just bought from the fishmonger or supermarket. I haven’t had any in years though, will def have again when I back to visit Asia. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
