Water Safety Listen Pools, lakes, ponds, and beaches mean summer fun and cool relief from hot weather. But water also can be dangerous for kids if you don't take the proper precautions. Nearly 1,000 kids die each year by drowning. The good news is there are many ways to keep your kids safe in the water and make sure that they take the right precautions when they're on their own. Keeping Kids Safe Kids need constant supervision around water — whether the water is in a bathtub, a wading pool, an ornamental fish pond, a swimming pool, a spa, the beach, or a lake. Young children are especially vulnerable — they can drown in less than 2 inches (6 centimeters) of water. If you don't already, it's a good idea to learn how to swim, and kids older than 4 years should learn, too (check the local recreation center for classes taught by qualified instructors). Don't assume that a child who knows how to swim isn't at risk for drowning. Kids should drink plenty of fluids, particularly water, to prevent dehydration.

Fight Smart Fight Smart! Ancient Chinese Strategies Can Bring Victory In The Sparring Ring. By Stefan Verstappen Originally published in Black Belt Magazine Jan 2000 When martial artists train in sparring the emphasis is usually on how to become stronger and faster than your opponent but there are two drawbacks to relying on this type of training. To improve one's chances of success in any form of combat one would need some advantage other than force alone. The following three strategies come from The Thirty-Six Strategies. Create Something From Nothing Use the same feint twice. This is one of the first strategies fighters learn as they gain experience since it is easy to execute and often quite effective. The typical combo is front snap kick aimed mid-level, followed by a jab and reverse punch. Even if the opponent is able step out of range of the high attack he will almost always raise his hands in reaction to the initial attack leaving his midsection undefended against the follow-up leg attack.
