Many teams and players participate in the game of paintball. This game is played inside or outside with 2 to 500 people per play. Usually, designated fields are used in paintball. A paintball game can last anywhere from 5 minutes to many hours. The strategy of each game depends upon the location of the game, the setting, or the last person who isn’t marked or marked. This sport is very competitive and the object is to win. The game consists of capture the flag, hide and go seek or the tag games. You are supposed to shoot other players, as they are supposed to shoot you as well. Safety equipment must be worn at all times. Safety equipment consists of special clothing, goggles and facemasks.

The paintball in itself is essential for the game. The paint ball is the main element of the game. The only difference in paintball is that there is more than one ball that is being used in the game. These balls are tiny balls filled with paint as the name suggests.

The paintball itself is simply made. It has the consistency of a bath bead. The colored liquid fills each one inside a gelatin type shell and are available in many colors. These paintballs are biodegradable and non-toxic.

Think of the paintball as a tiny water balloon which weighs next to nothing. The shell holds up at short distances. When the paintball is shot from a gun, it will bust on any impact and the result is splattered paint.

The paintball gun or marker is used to shoot paintballs at very fast speeds. In standard guns, there is a propulsion system built which is also attached to a hopper (which is where the paintballs are stored). This hopper is heavy in weight to carry during play.

Safety is of utmost importance in the game of paintball. The power that the paintball gun can exude is maintained at safety standards. The maximum speed of guns are at 300 feet per second to prevent injuries. At this rate of speed, injury is not likely if the paintball hits you at this speed. However it is likely that being hit by a paintball will sting and could leave a bruise. As soon as a paintball leaves the gun, the resistance of the wind does slow it down some. The impact is thus reduced when fired from a greater length of distance. Very fast paintballs can cause very serious injuries, especially to the eyes. Eye protection is very beneficial.

Paintball is used in police and military training. This sport is not only for recreational purposes. The paintball gun is not like a regular firearm as to how it feels when handling. The paintball gun does allow military to experience how it would feel to actually be shot.

There are many paintball leagues available to join depending on where you live. Different paintball leagues have different standards of playing in the field. Joining a league has many benefits. It’s a good standard to play this sport with people who are conscious of safety standards and the rules of play.

Rugby is a very fast, hard impact sport that sees its fair share of injuries. This is hardly surprising as most players are well built, tall strong men that spend a lot of the game ramming into one other. Some of the most common rugby injuries sustained tend to include concussion, collar bone fractures, sprains on the joint where the collar bone joins the shoulder, contusions on the thigh, and tears of knee ligaments.

Many professional and semi professional rugby players know all to well how it feels to be out of action, or even worse having to give their career up, due to injuries sustained from playing rugby. One such player is Steve Thompson who sustained many bangs to the head then came one bang to many.

After an unsuccessful bid for entry into the 2012 games, Rugby is at the forefront of applicants for entry into the 2016 games. For the International Rugby Board the application process is nearly over, they have presented their case and decision now firmly rests in the hands of the IOC and its members.

This will allow the loose trio a chance to get front foot ball and Pierre Spies and Juan Smith need to get over the advantage line to get the backs going. Against the British and Irish Lions, this didn’t happen and the Springboks couldn’t gain any real momentum.

After completing the proposal and presentation to the IOC, Mr Bernard Lapasset who has led the bid on behalf of the IOC as Chairman said “Rugby World Cup Sevens in Dubai showed that the so-called smaller sporting nations can compete with the biggest in the world. Countries like Kenya, Zimbabwe, Samoa, Tonga, and Uruguay proved they are capable of beating the best. Playing at an Olympic Games would offer these countries a real chance of medals and a further opportunity to be part of the global sporting family.”

Mr Lapasset hits on a very strong point, none of the above sides have a realistic chance of medalling if the 15s game was the chosen sport and in many cases other team sports but Rugby Sevens. With only 14 minutes, 7 men and whole lot of running, passing, hitting and did I mention running, all of these nations have a chance of taking home a medal for their country

In your search for cheap scuba diving equipment, if you have landed at the end of the road with no more options but to pay the full price, then you must re-think. A great way to save your hard earned dollars is to buy used scuba diving equipment. Sounds like a neat idea, right? It does. However, you must be prudent while buying used equipment. If you adhere to some basic instructions while shopping, then it is entirely possible that you can get a decent gear and save some good amount of money as well.

Where Not To Buy

You know what you want to buy. However, the next big step is to find where to buy. This is the most essential step. You might ask, “what’s the big deal about where I buy”? Give it a thought, think twice and then you will get an answer to your own question. Scuba diving is a popular sport, and with enthusiasts on the rise by the day, fraudsters are also on the rise. So more than answering the question “where to buy”, you must be aware of places from where “not” to buy.

With time and experience you are sure to develop a sixth sense about anything and everything to do with scuba diving. You will be better equipped to recognize a genuine scuba diving equipment vendor from a fraud vendor.

There is a big difference between saving money and saving your life. Considering that the waters you will traverse in would be chilly and frosty, it is even more essential to take every step in ensuring your underwater adventures will be pleasant and out of harm’s way.

Ask your local dive shop if they have a club and run dive trips, if they don’t ask them if they can recommend one. Dive centres are the best way to get started diving in the UK. They have instructor on hand to supervise your first dives and provide additional training to improve your diving skills. They have equipment for hire, including Dry Suits, so you don’t have to buy everything at one. They usually insist on you buying your own wetsuit boots for hygiene reasons. You can find a great list of clubs and shops in DIVER magazine.

This online store offers the A to Z of diving gear including bodysuits, boots, masks, Nitrox, gauges, regulators, the works. And there are special packages available if you are looking to save some more money. Another great feature of this store is that they have a whole array of information on the different components in a set of equipment, and the reason why you must make each a part of your gear plus more.

The Dive Sports Company is another option you have for buying affordable yet high quality scuba diving gear. They want you to feel secure as well as look fabulous when on your underwater adventures, and all this for fantastic prices. Visit this store if you want to not just save money but also want some one who you can trust for the product quality

Have you seen the strongman competition? Won by Žydrūnas Savickas in 2009, it is held annually and often involves giant men such as Bill Kazmaier, Mariusz Pudzianowski and Magnus Ver Magnusson performing feats of strength that are unimaginable and awe inspiring. Performing stunts like lifting atlas balls, the ‘Hercules hold’, keg toss, flipping over giant tyres, ‘duck walk’ and car carry, against both the clock and competitors; the strong man competition is the ultimate strength event in the world. The strength and conditioning of these athletes is phenomenal. There strength conditioning not only involves the ability to lift massive weights but to carry them over distances which takes into consideration the cardio vascular aspect of their training. When you see the strongman events you cannot help but notice that some of these athletes push themselves to the point of bleeding through their noses. The effort and dedication put into the event is out of sacrificial love to be the best no matter the cost. I would not want to tread lightly into the gym workout or training program of any of these Incredible Hulks let alone compete in Strongman.

One of the strongman events is the pulling of a truck or airplane with a rope. Vehicles such as transport trucks, trams, buses or airplanes are pulled across a 30 metre course by hand as fast as possible. In 2007 a fire engine truck was pulled and in 2008 a coal truck. The truck itself sometimes weighs over 12 tonnes. How is a human being able to pull a truck that heavy? What kind of weight training, strength training exercise, strength conditioning or gym workout would one follow to attain such monster proportions of strength? Some of these athletes are able to pull the truck past 30 metres in approximately 30-40 seconds. This demonstrates raw strength together with endurance and speed. How is a human being able to perform such a feat? Does science hold an answer to this? Is this all geometry and physics? Or is this something to do with the strength training anatomy of the individual concerned i.e. is he a superman?

Yes it takes phenomenal strength to do this. But is there more to it? Examining the truck or airplane pull in detail – when you look at the stance of the athlete in the event, you notice his stance is somewhat similar to a 100m sprinter in the blocks. Have a close look at Dwain Chambers, Usain Bolt or Assafa Powel in their blocks before their sprint off in the 100m. The strongman stance is similar. They all tend to lean forward at a 45 degree angle.

A ball thrown into the air at a 45 degree angle travels the furthest. A cricket batsman like Vivian Richards from the West Indies or Aravinda De Silva from Sri Lanka are able to hit the leather cricket ball out of the cricket ground, past the spectators, over the sea gulls and into the nearby housing complexes by targeting their hits at a 45 degree angle. This is pure physics. A projectile fired at 45 degrees travels the furthest as at this angle most distance is covered at maximum force. This theory is implemented in firing missiles and rockets. Therefore by maintaining a 45 degree angle to the ground, the strength training anatomy of a strongman is able to drive the most force against the truck / plane he is pulling. A higher angle exerts less force and possibly causes difficulties in balancing as his centre of mass / gravity is thrown off course. A lower angle reduces the frictional pull the strongman has on the ground. The strength exertion at a 45 degree angle is the greatest.

Having a look at the truck / plane pull reveals that a strongman does not perform one single pull (or thrust forward), but instead exerts a sustained set of continuous repetitive pulls. His strength conditioning involves momentum. He does not explode with one pull alone but uses the speed from each pull to drive the next pull. Bodybuilders often avoid this sort of training as momentum uses physics rather than muscle fibre to make the weights move in their training motion. Each pull from the strongman slackens the rope before being pulled again. Friction causes the truck to slow down after each pull. This strongman event is likened to a strength training exercise of performing a 220 Kg squat for more than 40 repetitions in less than 30-40 seconds.  Does that sound doable to you?

What does all this have to do with Rugby? The World Cup is not too far away and a lot needs to be done in preparation. Strength training and more so – functional strength training, is likely to be the decisive factor in the Rugby World Cup 2011. The Tri Nations 2009 revealed that strength, force and endurance crowned South Africa the victors. There is just about time for teams across the world to tap into functional strength training and drink the spoils of warrior grade training. Who better does one learn from than the kings of strength and endurance? The strongman.     

Rugby League or Rugby Union; it really does not matter which version of the game you play. Driving forward with consistent force, sustained waves of attack with the hope of penetrating the opposition defences and forming thundering walls of defence are part and parcel of the game. The strongman truck pull immediately reminds me of the Rugby Union scrum. The body positioning, the stances and the goals i.e. moving forward against a force, (the force of the opposition scrum and the frictional force on the truck are in the same directions!) are strikingly similar. Following the strongman example, if a rugby player positions himself at a 45 degree angle when driving forward, he is likely to exert the most force and power. Thereby he is able to achieve the most from his strength training through the leverage of his angle of attack. When the whole scrum comes together in this formation they are a force to be reckoned with. Some scrum teams weigh over a tonne and I wonder how many 747 s they would be able to pull. The scrum also needs to move forward in repetitive bursts of thrusting forward. They all need to be synchronized to exert the most force. I immediately begin to envision the movie 300 where the Spartan Warriors came together to form a defensive shielded group that thrust forward in synchronized harmony. The maximum force is exerted in this manner.
 
We have seen over the last super league season that the rest of the league is starting to catch up with Leeds and Saints, with only really Salford and Celtic Crusaders not really coming up to Super League standard. However the fact that they have another season before their franchises are reviewed gives them time to do some remedial work and the fact that the Crusaders are recruiting Brian Noble as the new coach is a positive step forward. The fact that Warrington and Huddersfield managed to both make it to the Challenge Cup Final boads well for the future of the game.

Much of the current discussion about such rules and regulations, or laws as they are formally termed by the IRB (in honor of the original draft submitted in 1871 by three ex-Rugby mates who were lawyers), centers around a new set of 10 ELVs (Experimental Law Variations) approved for adoption that are scheduled to be officially recognized beginning in August of this year.

The halfback positions seem to always be the area where we appear to be a couple of gears behind our australian counterparts whenever we play them both in terms of knowhow and speed. Only by blooding in younger players early in their careers will we reap the benefits in the years ahead. We may not see the fulfilment of that promise in this tournament, but I bet we do very soon. Good luck to the lads in the weeks ahead

A lot of people  I meet interested in wing chun training or any  martial arts or even on taking a class.  However the number one thing that holds them back is that they think its too late, they say to themselves “I’m too old, I don’t want to make a fool of myself etc….

This is quite common and one of the reasons that hold people back from learning or expanding into the martial arts.When i started i thought i was too old at 22, my instructor was 31 when he started and he was amazing.  It was only until later that I found out that after spending many years of doing various martial arts it was only when he was in his early thirties that he started wing chun and devoted all his training around the art.

Soon he was training full time and dedicated his life to becoming an instructor and delve even deeper to become a very knowledgeable practitioner of Chinese medicine. All beginning with the basics of wing chun training

Looking back and I remember the classes had a wide range of ages. From guys in their late teems/early 20’s to guys in their 30’s 40’s even 50’s just starting out, trying to figure out the wing chun dummy.(frustrating everyone of all ages).

I suppose the beauty of wing chun is that it does not require any special skill prowess.  You don’t need to be able to do the splits and flying through the air landing an axe kick You are very much grounded-literally.The techniqies are easy to learn and low impact.  If anything wing Chun training will help your flexibility, helps with weight loss and improve confidence.This is a reason why alot of people start wing chun to be fit. They see it as a way to get healthy as well as making if fun…and it is.
