There are various services that we offer in order to meet a clients needs, often incorporating the use of custom metal.

Starting off with metal fabrication, it is important to recognize that unlike the beginning of the metal age; today metal work has gained popularity and is getting advanced by the day. One of the core activities at the metal shop in the company is the combination of two or more metals which undergo metal fabrication and whose use can be found in just about any industry. Generally speaking, metal fabrication makes a reference to the process through which machines are made from their raw materials. Closely linked to metal fabricating are procedures that involve welding, metal working as well as assembly.

Some of the work that we do at the companys facilities includes the construction of various metals, structural frames in addition to pieces intended for aesthetic value. Such activities will involve the use of structural steel, galvanized steel as well as different forms of sheet metal. This is on a small scale of metal working. When we embark on using custom metal for larger projects, we go through a bidding process, just like anyone else, and when we get the contract then work can commence. For such a large project, there are six essential steps that must be observed.

The six steps of metal fabrication include: engineering, cutting of the metal, burning (sometimes referred to as the molten stage), forming, machining (ideally an automated procedure, but which calls for undivided attention by the engineers), welding and finally, assembly. Of special mention is aluminum welding, a common procedure especially because aluminum is commonly used in projects of this nature. Galvanized steel and structural steel may also be used, but this is dependent on the clients specifications. As part of the team, we have engineers who will handle the different equipment required for the successful completion of the job.

Also on board are highly skilled individuals who handle the welding process. This is a fundamental procedure, especially when one is working with sensitive metals. Once this is complete, assembly is finalized and usually involves inspection to see to it that the quality of work is unrivalled. This is what you are in for once we get to work on your projects. We have the capacity to fabricate custom metal to just about any needs a client may have.

Only Real Martial Arts Stop Rapists

One of my favorite stories to tell is about the time my brother-in-law’s girlfriend got her black belt in karate…

She had her big flashy test…kicked the bag…sparred other girls (and a couple of guys that looked like girls!) with the foam booties and gloves on…did her kata with the appropriate “snap” in her movements…very nice.

Now, I’m not a complete jerk, so I let her have her moment. Congratulated her, hobnobbed with the karate “master”, and ate a piece of the sheet cake with little icing karate dudes on it….

That was until a couple of months later at a family graduation party when she began to tell all the girls how the type of “karate” she studies is great for fitness (ok), fun (ok), and self defense (BZZZZZ!).

I had stood what I could, but I couldn’t stands it no more…

I walked right up into the middle of the gaggling girls, singled her out and flat out asked her, “Tell me the truth…If a 225 pound man attacked and tried to rape and kill you, can you 100%, honestly say that you would know what to do? Could you save your own life?”

There was a deathly quiet pause as every single girl in the room visualized that horrible situation in their own minds. Then came the same answer I’ve heard from every single women martial artist I’ve ever met in my life who doesn’t train with us…

“Ummm…I guess not.”

Here in the United States there seems to be a government agency looking into just about every consumer industry in an effort to protect people from scammers, hucksters, and other assorted con men or corporate swindle.

Unfortunately, for women who are looking for a martial arts style that will provide them with a way to defend themselves, there is no government agency licensing or even looking into instructors or the proven effectiveness of the claims.

Therefore there is an over abundance of inexperienced, untrained, liars who claim they are teaching self-defense. These frauds will often teach a style that sounds and perhaps even looks good on the mat, but lacks any value in real combat.

Moreover, dealing with criminal rapist scum is no time for a woman to find out that her “training” was really just cardio kickboxing in disguise… So share the following information with a woman you care for.
Examining the profiles of rapists gives incite into a dangerous enemy.

The Power-assertive rapist considers himself manly and is the one most likely to commit date rapes. This type makes up 44% of rapists and will try to con a victim and gain her trust, but will have no problem using whatever level of physical force he needs to take control.

The Anger-retaliatory rapist hates women and will look to brutalize and punish them. He looks for targets of opportunity and will most likely beat you unconscious then commit rape. This animal makes up 33% of rapists and is easily enraged.

Power-reassurance rapists account for 21% of rapes and often spies on or stalks his victims since he lacks the confidence to have a normal relationship with women. In his twisted fantasy, he sees himself and the victim as lovers, and will force her to wear lingerie and kiss her while seeing the attack as lovemaking. However, using violence is not out of the question if it comes down to making a woman give in to his demands.

The Anger-excitation is the worst of the lot. A sexual sadist, this sick bastard only makes up 5% of all rapists. He has his attacks preplanned and victims can be women he knows or just spots haphazardly on the street. He derives sexual pleasure from inflicting pain and will tie up, gag and torture women for days on end. So vile is this creature that he will even film or photograph his victims so he can relive the attacks. He is the hardest to catch of the group because he usually kills his victims when he’s through.

During an attack your mind will be racing and you won’t be thinking clearing about what kind of rapist you are dealing with and what approach to take, but what all experts agree on is that a “properly trained” woman who fights back early DOUBLES their chance of escape…AGAINST ANY SIZE OR STRENGTH ATTACKER.

The Department of Justice reported that 93,934 women were forcibly raped in 2005 (They’re still calculating ’06)…These numbers are completely unacceptable as women can and should know how to defend themselves.

In Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, safety is listed right after breathing and eating. Personal protection is too important to be left to the police alone, or to depend on others for help.

Teaching and learning a martial art is ok as it has plenty of redeeming physical, cultural, social, & mental benefits. However, what people (especially women) need to understand, is that 99% of martial arts are NOT legitimate methods of self-defense.

Enlightenment, Zen, And The Martial Arts!

The martial arts have long been held up as a vehicle for enlightenment. Indeed, this is the goal at the end of the path of The True Art. This article is about why this is so, and to enable the reader to reach the end of that path all the sooner.

Enlightenment is when light shines forth from the individual. With that light the enlightened being views the world differently. His perceptions are heightened, and he has a superior viewpoint.

If enlightenment happened because of the fact of motion, then movement would result in enlightenment. Hockey, ballet, football, all would result in an enlightened individual, but they don’t, so one must ask oneself, what is it about the Martial Arts that they result in enlightenment of the human being?

What is different is that there is combat, and when one understands the essence of combat, one becomes enlightened. What is the essence of combat? One could sum up the subject by saying that when one finally understands he is opposing himself, he becomes enlightened, and a study of the martial arts does eventually result in this.

The universe, you see, is a playing field rich with moving objects. Every object in the universe has a direction to its mass. It is only in the martial arts that one actually engages in the study of the trajectory of flying objects as the one who creates the direction of those flying objects.

A fist flies through space at you, and you go through a range of emotions. Eventually, you give up emotions so that you can better analyze the flight of the fist. Thus, you rise above base reaction and become cause over the motion of the universe.

A person threatens you, he holds a weapon and stalks you, and you must divine the direction before it manifests. You must look at the world as it is, and not through some fantasy, and thus you look at the world you created. Thus, you rise above being the flotsam and jetsam of a universe awash with random motion, and thus you take the reins of your own destiny.

There is no motion in this universe, you see, that you have not created. That star shines for you, because of you, if it wasn’t for you, there would be no purpose for that star to shine. And through the tempering of form, the steeling of will, the martial artist engages in combat, to give up combat and become what he truly is, an enlightened being free to enjoy the universe.

Arts And Crafts India- With Bunches Of Benefits Of All Kind

In todays world fashion are just taking U turn, Fashion of yesterday are just getting repeated in todays time and same is the case with arts products. From ancient time products of arts and carts were very famous but just at time when people reached in technology era they replaced their love towards such arts products with other things but now again they start inclining towards such arts products and so the market as response to such demand is flooded with such items.

Market well understands the fact that arts item are loved by all without any bar of economic situation, without any bar of age group and without any bar of place and so everywhere whether offline or online you can see arts and crafts India products available in all price range and in all size but in all such products you will find one few things common that is beauty, elegance and a sign of royal taste.

All such are facts related to the taste and demand of people for crafts products. And now lets talk about the benefits of such likeness on common people. Such likeness and high demand of arts and crafts India has given a good livelihood source to common people seeking income on basis of their talent and creativeness in this field.

Especially people living in villages do not use to be highly educated but they use to have extra ordinary talent and creativeness in making handmade arts and crafts statues etc. In lack of higher educational degrees they usually d not get high paid jobs and so in that way they live a life where they have to sacrifice their basic needs too but because of demand of arts items in todays market they can earn god sum of money too. Without any kind of educational degrees on basis of their ultimate creative skill and talent they can now earn good and can live a normal life.

Few people are from always from generation to generation engaged in such handmade craft products but they were not getting good value in return of selling their hard labor made arts items. For them too such increasing demand of arts product has come up with ultimate benefits in sense that now they are getting good sum of money in lieu of selling such. So they are now also getting what they really deserve.

In my eyes all love for such products has given various ultimate livelihood source and benefits to all section of people all over the world. Now in market too such demand has given great chance to marketers to earn money by selling such products worldwide. And normal people are getting benefits of beatification in their surroundings by placing such arts and craft items.

Ancient Martial Arts in Modern Day Society

White Tiger Kung Fu, also named Bak Fu Pai, is a Southern Shaolin variety of Kung Fu first manifested in 1644. Although this self defense sort is very ancient, it is still intact to this day with the customs and techniques prospering here in 2011, while still blossoming and exploding with life (for the general self defense class they were playing rock music on the boombox, which is in all likelihood a new transformation since 1644.) Somehow it works, and its just subtle and not at all nettlesome. My concentration was unquestionably on the teacher, not the audio, but it lends a fun spirit to the lessons and it’s just enjoyable to do things to music sometimes.

Despite the fact that this shaolin style dates back officially to 1644 and the 1st in the Doo Wai lineage, you must also consider that in 1644 some of these disciplines were already 1000’s of years old. Many of the sparring and sanative techniques that were incorporated in 1644 were probably created far earlier in Chinese boxing and healing arts. I think its hard to say how old many of the methods may be, or how old many of the herbal concentrates are as well.

When people think of Kung Fu, they are generally thinking of Northern Shaolin style, with its long flowing graceful kicks, but Southern Shaolin Kung Fu looks more like boxing or Karate and isn’t at all like what you see in the tv shows typically. White Tiger style is a no nonsense kung fu developed in the Southern Shaolin tradition.

The land being hard In the colder northern regions of China, it provided a more stable footing when kicking and stepping, therefor, northern Shaolin styles developed more kicking, acrobatic strategies, while in the warmer southern climate of China, the dirt was not as hard which made kicking and stepping more arduous. As a result, the Southern shaolin style is more focused on higher stances with hand methods. More like boxing or Karate than what most people think of as “kung fu”.

Of course, the subject being Shaolin Kung Fu, its not so simple to depict in short little pieces on the web, its a real world training to experience for yourself first hand. I always find language hopelessly limited to accurately portray things with such importance as Shaolin Kung FuShaolin Kung Fu .

I don’t think its really meant to be thoroughly described in an article on the web. Its an ancient partly oral tradition, partly an active fitness regimen that includes interesting ancient Chinese herbs. You must train on your own as well, to master anything in life, it takes dedication and it takes time. In this case, reading or writing short articles on the topic is never going to even begin to thoroughly describe a venture into the depths of Shaolin Kung Fu the way real first hand experience can.

The traditional stories, the ancient wisdom, the accumulation of discoveries from thousands of years really is a very amazing and storied history, but the active fitness lifestyle that comes with Kung Fu training is a huge extra reward. Many people don’t have time for fitness , but for those who do, martial arts training can be a very rewarding journey with many reinforcements besides just physical conditioning.
