US army prepares to confront domestic protests

If America thought aggressive action on the Occupy movement was severe, the US military thinks things could get much worse amid national economic malaise. And it's preparing in case protests this year get more severe. According to Government Security News, an online publication that reports on issues of US homeland security, the Department of Homeland Security is trying to secure extra riot gear for the US military. Some of the items include: 147 riot helmets, 147 sets of upper body and shoulder protection, 152 sets of thigh and groin protection, shin guards, forearm protectors and more. We've seen the force that police have used against mass crowds most recently in the Occupy movement. But experts say that a military intervention would be much more forceful and severe. Military training prepares soldiers for war and in a domestic riot, the American citizen becomes the combatant.

Gift wrap from guard to sweep and choke

Armdrag to establishing a gift wrap from the guard. This leads naturally to a pendulum sweep, then finishing with a cobra choke. Throughout the entire technique, you have to keep your elbow on the gift-wrap arm tight to his body, pulling it tighter and tighter. Notice that I use my hand like a knife-edge to slide into the choke. I didn't quite finish the sweep correctly: From mount, I should have pulled him to his side. Then I should have placed my knee in the center of his back, pivoted onto my feet with one behind his shoulders and the other by his hip on the other side. This gives me more control. Finally, I could have finished the choke by either clasping my forearm or using a fist, but he tapped before I got that far. At the end, make sure to straighten both of your arms (whether holding your forearm or pressing your fist into his carotid). Basically this move is nami juji jime using his own arm instead of his collar, which makes it useful for gi or no-gi. In gi, I still use it because it gives your more control over your opponent.

Shuttlecock Woes - A Layman's Guide to Common Badminton Injuries

A rather common opinion about badminton is that it is one of the safest games possible-a fun, family game innocent of malice and devoid of any real danger of injury. Such notions are highly probable, given the immense popularity of the game worldwide, as entertainment for children during playtime as well as a serious Olympic sport.

However, contrary to popular opinion, badminton players are also prone to injury-some so intense in nature that they may take months to heal completely. According to one study conducted by a Denmark-based group of doctors and published in 2006, badminton injuries occur at an average rate of 2.9/person every 1000 hours of play time. Despite being a non-contact sport, where there is no physical contact between the opposing players, badminton injuries happen frequently-mostly due to over use of certain parts of the body and sometimes because of accidents happening suddenly and painfully. Mostly they occur in players who wear the wrong shoes, do not warm-up, warm-up more than required, sport bad technique, are overweight or generally unfit. Injuries are witnessed in players who have not indulged in sport for a while as well as in seasoned players who have overused body parts such as wrists, ankles, knees and elbows to name a few.

Acute/Accidental injuries:

Ankle Sprains- Although still wanting in detailed statistical studies, some research papers have shown that on an average, ankle sprains constitute more than half of all reported badminton injuries. An ankles sprain can be described as the stretching and or tearing of ligaments and muscles in the ankle. In extreme cases, there may also be damage to tendons, bones and other joint tissues. The resulting bleeding within tissues can cause sudden edema and swelling of the ankle, which in third degree sprains, often takes more than 6 months to heal completely. Ankle sprains are accidental in 99% of the incidences and happen when the player lands on his partner's foot or on the floor with his own foot turned inwards, outwards or flexed. The extremely quick directional changes required during badminton, often cause the feet to roll over or twist, resulting in a sprained ankle. Fatigue, extra body weight and shoes with more than normal 'grip' are frequent contributors to such injuries.

Meniscus Tear- This also goes by the layman-friendly alias 'Torn Cartilage Knee Injury' and is as painful as a sprained ankle. During the intricate footwork required during a badminton game, the meniscus or cartilage, which provides a soft cushioning between the thigh and shin bones, sometimes ruptures, causing pain in the joint-line of the knee, swelling and inability to flex the leg completely. This may sometimes also be accompanied by an injured or totally ruptured ligament, which increases the pain factor and healing time. Normally, the swelling and pain settles down easily for most people. However for some sportspersons, the knee can become prone to knee locking or 'giving way', in which case, surgery is required.

Muscle Strain- Unexpected movements, such as a sudden overhead smash, may put muscles in various parts of the body under pressure, thereby causing a disruption of fibres in the affected muscle. This can result in pain, swelling, bruising and in extreme case, loss of function. Muscles commonly affected are the hamstring, knee, shoulder and calf, to name a few.

Ocular hurt- A Malaysian study reportedly called badminton the 'sport which presented the greatest ocular hazard in Malaysia'. Another Canadian study backed up these claims saying that 30-58% of all eye injuries in Canada caused by racquet sports were attributed to badminton. This may seem funny to a layman, since a shuttlecock looks anything but devious, with its lightweight feathery appearance, compared to the heavier balls used in tennis and squash. Although the frequency of eye injuries on an average is more in squash than in badminton, the latter does account for injuries which are greater in severity. This is partly because the bottom round of the shuttlecock fits into the eye orbit and also because of the extremely high speeds achieved during badminton. Badminton is widely considered to be the fastest racquet sport in the world and shuttlecocks have been known to reach speeds of more than 300 km/hour. On 25 September 2009, Malaysia's Tan Boon Heong set the international smash record of 421 km/hour in the men's double's category at the Japan Open 2009. This is 1/3rd the speed of sound at sea level, so one can imagine the effect of a shuttlecock travelling at that speed and hitting one's eye. It would be painful to say the least.

Fractures- Fractures are fairly rare in badminton, although some have been reported. They normally happen when another player's racquet hits a player's arm or leg or if the player himself falls down heavily or if another player missteps and falls/steps on him/her.

Chronic/overuse injuries:

Achilles Tendonitis- Loosely defined, Achilles Tendonitis or Achilles Tendonipathy is an inflammation of the heel cord of the foot. In reference to badminton, it can be described as a chronic degenerative change in the Achilles Tendon (a cord of inelastic tissue connecting bone and muscle running from heel to calf) occurring due to repetitive jumping and running, worsened by poor warm-up techniques. More common as one ages, it also tends to worsen with activity.

Tennis Elbow- Do not be mislead by the nomenclature of this particular injury. Tennis Elbow is often seen in sports other than tennis and very frequently among badminton players. The injury, known as Lateral Epicondylosis among the medical fraternity, is a chronic overuse injury which occurs due to the inflammation of the tendons of the forearm on the outer part of the elbow. Players who indulge in repetitive backhand strikes are often subject to Tennis Elbows. Change of grip size, lack of recovery and excess stretching tend to make them worse.

Golfer's Elbow- This particular injury is similar to Tennis Elbow in mostly all respects except for the location of the injury. While Tennis Elbow causes inflammation on the outer part of the elbow, Golfer's Elbow usually occurs on the inner side of the elbow with the pain sometimes radiating along the forearm. It is also a chronic degenerative problem, mainly caused by an overuse of the wrist.

Jumper's Knee- As the name suggests, this injury often comes on due to repeated jumping on hard surfaces. Known in medical terms as Patellar Tendonitis, the Patella Tendon located below the knee cap is affected over a long period of jumping and landing during badminton. Activity normally worsens the tendon damage and a rupture may sometimes follow with lack of rest

Rotator cuff injury- The most prominent shoulder injury to affect badminton players over time, typically a rotator cuff injury is brought on over time by repeated stress to the shoulder area while playing overhead shots in badminton. It usually begins as a lingering irritation in the shoulder known as an 'impingement syndrome', which if left uncared for, worsens to develop partial tears in the rotator cuff muscles. Further activity and stress can cause a complete tear in one or more muscles in the area.

Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction- The Sacroiliac Joint connects the sacrum at the base of the spine to the ilium of the pelvic region. Continuous badminton playing with low core stability causes an anatomic issue in this joint, which results in chronic lower back pain. The condition is known as Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction and affected players are advised to refer a physician for a complete evaluation of the condition.

Neck sprains- Focusing on the shuttlecock for long durations and turning one's neck accordingly in various directions, can cause the neck to be extended beyond the normal angles, especially while playing smashes and strikes around the head, thereby causing neck sprains.

Cramps- A cramp can be described in a badminton player as a sudden and intense pain caused mainly in the leg area due to major loss of fluid, overheating of the muscle and fatigue. Although the suddenness of a cramp could warrant it to be placed in the "acute injury" category, it is considered to be a chronic injury, since it happens after playing badminton for a long time.

Abrasions and blisters- Common yet less malignant as compared to the rest of the above-mentioned conditions, abrasions occur mostly on the hands and knees due to direct contact with hard surfaces when the player falls or scratches himself. Blisters occur due to pus or fluid formation under the skin caused by extended periods of gripping a racquet, an abrasion not being cleaned or healed properly and heels or toes being continually encased in shoes or being in direct contact with a hard surface for long periods.

Prevention and cure:

It would be wise to adhere to the oft heard rule in the exercise arena "You don't get fit to play a sport, you play a sport to get fit!" Therefore it is advisable for badminton players of all ages and levels to take a few important pre-game precautionary measures, which include but are not limited to increasing fitness levels, better nutrition, decreasing weight, getting the proper shoes, grips and other attire, warming-up before playing and improving playing technique.

One cannot stress enough the importance of a good warm-up session before and cool-down session after a heavy game of badminton. A typical warm-up should include about 5-10 minutes of gentle jogging , spot walking or skipping, followed by short stretches of 30 seconds each, slightly longer stretches on the tighter muscles ending with stretches for certain individual muscle groups like shoulder, hamstring etc. If the player wishes, he/she may also follow this with certain specific exercise drills such as push-ups, sit-ups and the like. Stretching releases tension within muscles, allows freer movement and circulation and not only prepares the body for heavy-duty badminton, but also the mind. Begin the game with around 5-20 minutes of gentle shots with your partner and then gradually increase the pace and tempo of your game. Ideally one must end a game with cool down exercises and stretches too.

Shoes and grips especially are of utmost importance in preventing ankle and elbow injuries respectively. Gripping a racquet too hard or long can bring on a Tennis Elbow, while wearing heavy grip non-supportive shoes cause ankle sprains and Achilles Tendonitis.

To prevent elbow issues, take extra care to buy a good quality racquet which fits precisely into the palm of your hand. Turn your racquet into a powerful, injury-preventing instrument by adding more grip to the handle, taking care not to add too much to disrupt the racquet balance. For those of you, who already have suffered from Tennis Elbows before, it would make sense to wear a Tennis Elbow Compression Strap, which works by reducing tension on the elbow tendons.

Badminton requires the player to slide across the court and hence it would be a good idea to get shoes which have a good arch support, shock absorbers to prevent injury to the ankle, heel cups to keep the heel protected and special soles which do not provide much room for friction with the ground below. Take care to buy a shoe which has a combination of these qualities in order to be assured of all rounded protection. Never wear jogging or basketball shoes for your badminton game and make sure you keep a pair of good badminton shoes aside meant solely for badminton.

A few other recommended products for badminton injuries include orthotics and insoles, knee and Achilles straps, ankle braces, shoulder supports and blister socks.

To prevent eye injuries, many research scientists recommend that certified plastic polycarbonate glasses be worn by beginners and experienced badminton players alike.

Lastly, as a generic rule, make sure you are always well stocked up on water or isotonic sports drinks, especially while playing badminton in hot weather, since like all other sports, badminton too tends to sap the fluids and cause dehydration.

When a badminton injury has already happened, quick and correct procedures are essential for a speedy cure. In case of acute injuries like sudden sprains, strains and tears, the first step towards healing is correct diagnosis. This must be followed by the rest, ice, compression and elevation protocol which is absolutely necessary for recovery. Special care must be taken to keep weight off the injured area and lengthy periods of rehabilitation are a must. In case of a sprained ankle a removable plastic cast walker may be necessary to provide the required support. Tennis Elbows can usually be alleviated by rest and ice therapy, but in the more severe cases, pain relief and anti inflammatory medication and sometimes corticosteroid injections are required. Golfer's Elbow on the other hand is usually treated with tape, elbow guards, manual therapy and stretching. When Achilles Tendonitis occurs, ice packs are normally helpful, but a minimum rest period of three months is required for the body to produce the collagen tissue in order to repair the injured tendon.

Sounds scary? It doesn't have to be! Badminton can continue to be a fun sport for all those who have even a smidgen of interest in it. The fear of injury need not come into the picture at all, if the necessary precautions are taken and if players choose to keep themselves intelligently informed about the protocols to be followed- in case of injury.

Keep the shuttlecock flying fearlessly and treat yourself to a great injury-free badminton blast!

How to Defend Against a Bigger Opponent With Angled Punches

For many martial artists, the accepted way to defend against a bigger opponent is with their feet. They stop any approach that comes within range with a kick of their own. Still, it is possible to defend against larger opponents with punches -- specifically, angled punches.

The Bigger Opponent Has a Longer Reach

Trying to defend against a long-armed opponent poses a specific problem; his reach is greater than yours.

If you try to reach him with a punch while he's trying to reach you with a punch, then he wins.

Note: We aren't comparing and contrasting styles, angle of the punch, and so on. This is just a basic comparison of reach.

If you block his initial punch, as you reach in for your counter punch, you could still encounter the long reach. Your opponent does have another hand, after all.

Even if you are a Jeet Kune Do practitioner (Bruce Lee's style), you could still encounter problems with your hit-before-check philosophy. The timing will change; you could find yourself too far away to land your punch. Remember those long arms.

Larger Opponent -- If You Can't Reach Him, Then Don't

You could fill an entire book, at least, with advice on distance, angles, and timing for getting past the guard of someone with long arms. We don't have that kind of space in a short article.

Instead, let me offer this advice: If you can't reach your opponent's body, then don't try. This is only logical.

Instead, go for your opponent's limbs, specifically, his weapons. If he tries to kick you, hit his foot ... or ankle. If your enemy tries to punch you, then punch his arm. To paraphrase the Filipino fighters, "Destroy the weapon -- defang the snake!"

Defend Against The Bigger Opponent with Angled Punches

An error that I see in several styles is in teaching their students to punch across the front of their bodies, to try to hit the punch coming in. Their right hands punch across to the left, and the left fists across to the right.

If you want more success at defending the punches of your larger opponents, then try to angle your punches more toward your opponent's torso. You still want to hit the hand, fist, wrist, or forearm; just punch more forward than across.

The forward punch helps protect you from feints and fakes. It's also a better angle for making contact.

Finally, it puts you in a much better follow-up position.

What You Should Know About Volleyball Safety To Make The Most of Your Play Time

The fun and excitement of volleyball lures many children and adults into playing the sport. However, in order to have as much fun as possible, volleyball safety is something that you must always keep in mind. There is no fun in a sport if you are injured and cannot play due to something as simple as knowing when or when not to bend your wrist. Your first consideration when preparing to play volleyball, or any sport for that matter, is to make certain you have all of the equipment you need to play safely. Depending on where you are playing volleyball, there are several types of equipment you can purchase that can help prevent injuries. The basic equipment falls under several categories:

• Protective Gear



• Shoes



• Clothing



• Miscellaneous Accessories

Protective Gear

The most common type of equipment is the basic protective gear. Pads and palm protectors fall into this category. Pads, such as elbow pads and knee pads are generally used in hard floor based volleyball, such as indoor courts located in schools world wide. All three are also highly suggested in sand based courts, and are considered a vital part of volleyball safety, as they protect the most vulnerable parts of your body. Volleyball pads are used to prevent injury due to impact with the ground from purposeful dives and accidental falls. Palm guards are used to protect your hands and wrist from impact of the volleyball, as well as from falls.

Shoes

The second category of equipment that is vital for volleyball safety is the style and type of shoes worn during game play. Specially designed men and women's volleyball shoes allow for better grip on the court, which prevents sprained ankles and dangerous falls. Without the proper shoes, you put yourself at risk. Nike and Reebok are two companies which specialize in sports shoes.

Clothing

During a volleyball game, wearing the proper style of clothing is the only way you can ensure accidents are prevented. Some styles of clothing, such as high riding shorts, can cause discomfort to the player, which can lead to a lack of concentration and injury. By wearing proper sports jerseys and comfortable low rise shorts, you can enjoy a comfortable game without additional risk of injury.

Miscellaneous Accessories

When selecting your other accessories, you need to always keep your safety in mind. While ear rings and other piercings may be aesthetically pleasing, they do not belong on a volleyball court. Choosing what to wear besides the standard volleyball safety gear is very important. A volleyball to the stomach could cause a great deal of pain and danger should you have a naval piercing, for example. Earrings being ripped from earlobes is another common volleyball injury which is easily prevented. Play it safe. If you do not need the accessory, take it off for the duration of the game. If you play volleyball a great deal, arrange for any piercings to be done and finished healing before or after the season. If you must have volleyball accessories, some good wholesale accessories for volleyball include hair scrunchies, temporary tattoos, and arm bands. Another thing to consider is most, if not all volleyball leagues do not allow temporary tattoos to be worn during matches. Much like glitter, they could be considered a distraction to the competition at hand.

After you have been fully equipped for playing volleyball, there are other things that you need to keep in mind. These are the basic safety rules of volleyball, and should be adhered to at all times.

• Body Positions - Setting, Serving, Spiking and Passing



• Physical Contact

Body Positions

In volleyball, an important aspect of the sport is the position your body is in, whether you are setting the ball, serving, or spiking. Improper body positions can cause injury to yourself, or potentially others, so you should take great care in assuring that you assume the proper positions.

Setting

When setting the ball, you should always be careful to watch the ball, and be in position several ball lengths before arrival. Facing the target rather than the origin can prevent being hit in the face with the ball. Losing focus on the ball can also result in being unbalanced due to reacting to the ball being where you do not expect it. This can result in injury, as sprained wrists and ankles are a likelihood.

Serving

When performing the serve, you want to make certain your lead foot is opposite from your hitting arm. If your lead and hitting arm are both on the same side, you will be unbalanced, which can result in a wide serve and injury. You must also make certain to hold a firm wrist position when completing the serve.

Spiking

This can be one of the more dangerous aspects of volleyball. When spiking the ball, you will be in motion, and using a heavy, hard action on the wrist and your body. As you are jumping in this move, you run risk of sprained ankles and other foot related injuries. Injuries resulting from falls are also extremely potential in this move. When performing your spike, there are several things you need to remember. First, you should be jumping with both feet. A one foot jump can lead to injury. Also, you should not perform a "tennis" swing. This is where you side-sweep with one arm, while your other arm swings backwards. This is a risk to yourself and your teammates, and should be avoided. Your wrist should also be held back in this position, and snapped forward on the spike. A dead-on hit can jam or sprain your wrist. By keeping these small tips in mind, you should be able to prevent injuries.

Passing

This is the one of the most common moves in volleyball. The pass, or the forearm bump, is performed by holding your hands together and hitting the ball with your forearms. A good pass involves your hands being held together, while your elbows are held straight, and your wrists remain firmly in position. Your body should be positioned towards your target when the pass is completed. If any of these things are not done during the pass, you run a risk of injury to yourself and others. This is where a great deal of wrist injuries occur, as hitting the ball with your hands instead of your forearms can cause sprains or breaks in your wrists.

Physical Contact

In Volleyball, physical contact should be avoided at all times. As this is a no-contact sport, collisions usually result in injuries that prevent you or your teammates from participating in future games. While many sprains only take a week or two to heal, broken ankles and wrists from collisions take far longer and can ruin your season. Always keep in mind where your teammates and opponents are. By doing this, you can save yourself and your comrades a lot of pain and trouble.

At first, all of these volleyball safety tips may be overwhelming. However, without them, you will find yourself out of play due to a painful injury. Persistence in following the basic rules of safety can prevent this and enable you to enjoy the game to its fullest extent.

Angel Tattoos Ideas and Meanings

Angel tattoo designs, in most cases, have very special, deep personal meanings to the people who wear them. They can have purely spiritual and religious meaning to people or have many other meanings when combined with other designs, names and symbols.

Origins and meanings

The word Angel has a Latin origin, meaning messenger of God. There are three Choirs, or Spheres, each of a different rank and each Choir has three types of angels, each with a different duty. Their main role is to be messengers of God and to watch over us. Other roles involve being guards over the realm between heaven and earth, providing wisdom and good fortune and most notably, protection. They have universal appeal as they are depicted in the Christian, Islamic and Jewish religions, cutting across religious borders. The main types used for tattoos include guardian angels and fallen angels. I will look at the meaning of each.

Guardian Angels

It is said that your Guardian Angel is with you when you enter into this world, with you when you leave, and guides you through life in between. They are believed to be sent by God to protect mortal individuals during their time on this earth. They are in the form of humans with large wings, depicted as loving and protecting figures. Quite often they are shown in glowing or shining form, floating, looking down, as if watching over someone or something, in a protective manner. Some people wear this body art design to signify the connection with their Guardian angel, or a connection with a higher being.

Fallen Angels

Another take on this design is the fallen angel tattoo. The fallen angel has been thrown out of heaven as punishment. It is said that a group of rebellious angels came to earth to mix with mortals. As punishment, they were banished from heaven and roam the earth until judgment day. They are usually depicted as looking upwards with their face covered, sometimes with a broken wing. Some people have a fallen angel tattoo to depict their bad streak, or show off their rebellious side.

Combined Meanings

Taking the angel design and combining it with other designs is a great way to personalize your body art. For example using wings alone as your design represents freedom and rising above problems, feeling elevated and alive. The designs are also popular as a memorial. Combining the angel design with a name, or having the face of the person as the angel's face allows people to make a permanent tribute to someone close. You can't get anymore personal than that.

Designs

Angel tattoos are so popular because they can have such a personal meaning to the wearer and they look so appealing. Combine that with beautiful wings and striking colors and you have a tat to be proud of. The design can take many forms and it is common to combine hearts, flowers, crosses and many other symbols. The style can also cut across tattoo genres, such as a tribal angel tattoo, giving a unique appearance and meaning.

I hope this information on angel tattoo designs and meanings has given you some ideas for your dream angel tattoo.

How to Survive a Knife Attack

Being attacked by someone with a knife is always going to be a dangerous thing, and even a trained martial artist should always make looking for an opportunity to escape and run away the number one priority. But sometimes getting away from your attacker isn't possible, and so you have to stand and fight to defend yourself. If you find yourself in this awful situation there are a few simple things you can do to make sure that you get out of it without serious injury.

The first thing you must do is to reduce the surface area of your body that your attacker has to aim at. You do this by turning side-on to your attacker, rather than facing them directly. This makes dodging an attack easier as well as reducing the area which you need to defend.

At the same time as turning side-on you should also bring your arms up to defend your head and neck. Stab wounds to these areas are the most likely to be fatal, and so they are obviously the most important areas to defend. Your forearms should be crossed in the center and held in front of your face with the back of your hand and forearm facing outwards, as cuts to this side of the arm are less likely to bleed heavily.

By adopting this position you are not only protecting vital areas of the body, but also limiting and controlling the options of your attacker. Holding your arms in a high guard position whilst standing side-on exposes a large target along the side of the abdomen whilst covering and protecting the rest of the body. In 90% of cases your assailant will attack the unprotected area. This gives you the advantage of effectively knowing what your attacker is going to do even before they do. Controlling options like this means that you only need to know one highly effective martial arts technique to defend yourself, rather than having to learn a different technique for every possible attack.

I will describe this technique shortly, but first you must also be aware that a crazed attacker may still try to get through you guard to attack the head and neck. If this happens you have to be willing to sacrifice. Many martial arts teach complex techniques to defend against all kinds of knife attack. But the problem is that if a technique goes wrong in this situation you could well end up dead, and that is an unacceptable risk. The simple fact that you must remember is that you can't get stabbed in the hand and the neck at the same time with the same knife. You need to be brave and actively push the back of your hand or arm onto the knife (parrying it to the side if possible), whilst using the other hand to strike as quickly and as hard as you can to your attackers face; you can then use the moment in which they are stunned by the strike to get away.

If your assailant tries to stab the open target on your side here is what you should do:

Bend over double, pulling your abdomen back away from the blade. At the same time bring both of your forearms downwards forcefully, keeping them crossed over. You should hit your attackers arm with your arms at the point where they cross over; keep pushing down so that your hands are pointing down and your attackers arm is trapped in the space between them. Now you can grab your attacker's wrist or hand. If they have attacked with the right hand you should take hold with your right hand (which will be on your left hand side) and twist clockwise so the elbow is facing upwards. As they will have put their strength into the strike and will not be expecting this there should be little resistance. Keeping hold with your right hand you can now strike down onto the elbow joint with your left hand, breaking the arm and forcing them to drop the knife.
