In my native country, Cuba, boxing is one of the most popular sports on the island. When I was young I remember there was a rumor that filled the streets. There was speculation about a possible fight between Cuban amateur boxer and an American professional boxer. I refer to Teofilo Stevenson known Olympic champion and the great Muhammad Ali. If this fight ever happened in the times of the Cold War, the fight would have been far beyond the sport connotations. you imagine? surrounded by a large political advertising by both sides and where each fighter represents their political government. I do not know whether for good or bad, but the fight never happened. Any analysis of the result is not important now. The only truth is that both were great in the ring and defended their causes and beliefs no matter how much they sacrificed along the way. In this article I summarize phrases, anecdotes, important moments of both and my personal tribute to both of these great fighters, who from opposite ends, they agreed deeply to love what they did and today their legacy is an inspiration to many inside and outside the ring .

Could you tell us a little about yourself, your background? I'm graduated in Hong Kong Polytechnic University Graphic Design 1979. I was an advertising designer/creative director over 30 years, my clients included McDonalds, Coca-Cola... etc. international clients, now I'm retired. How did you get interested in illustration? I like drawing since I was teenage, that's why I also an active freelance illustrator in HK did lots of magazine covers. When did you realized that you wanted to be an illustrator and artist professionally? When I was around 15 in middle school, to be a designer or artist was my only goal. I went to different night art schools to prepare my portfolio for the university. What is your favorite aspect of illustration? Since my retirement, I've noticed I'm still creative & productive, so I went to Shanghai China to studied "Oil Portraiture" for 3 months. What is your creative process? I painted lots "World Famous People" when I returned to HK, included my childhood idol Bruce Lee (he was my only idol and I wanted to meet him face to face when I was young in HK). Due to my creative background, 26

My Dad knew Lee Hoi-chuen (Bruce What inspires you? Lee's Dad), in 60's he visited Mr. Lee in Kowloon often, but he When I was a kid, my Dad had never saw Bruce in person. pointed to our home B/W Televibackground, my artworks always want to tell some message, so every artworks either color exaggerated or added something to looks non-ordinary or "You never seen it before"!
What pieces from your portfolio of work are you most proud of and why? In 2013 ,I organized a group of artists show named "Glorious 40 Years ! The World's First Bruce Lee Art Show" in HK. Next year 2014, another group artists show "Glorious 41

I used to use oil paint for Bruce Lee arts, but it takes too long to finish, to full-filling my fast creations, recently I changed to use ball point pen, scan in to colored by Photoshop, this is easier way I can explores more ideas and post on the FaceBook faster.
: A. 1979 in my Hong Kong Polytechnic University graduation show, I displayed an A4 size Bruce Lee marker drawing in the exhibition hall, but it was stolen in the 1st day. B. In 1980, another large size Bruce Lee art lost in the public art show. After these lost, I didn't paint any Bruce until 2013.
GrandMaster Dr. Ibraham Ahmed
Grandmaster Dr. Ibraham Ahmed began training in the late 60s with his brother, Ali, who had come home from Vietnam and had taken Tang Soo Do lessons with R.O.K. Army instructors in Vietnam. He learned some basics from his brother, who advised him that if he should get to be stationed in Korea to seek out a good master and train very diligently. As luck would have it, he received orders to go to South Korea with the US Army 2nd Division, and also was fortunate to find himself assigned from infantry to military office on the Freedom Bridge checkpoint. He found a great master to begin training him—now Grandmaster Sang Sup Kil. They trained every day possible at the Compound Gym in the DMZ and in the gym of Kim Yong Soo in Paju, Korea. Grandmaster Ahmed earned his black belt in South Korea. He was awarded a regional award for excellent poomsae from Grandmaster Kim Yong Soo and excelled at his study of Tae Kwon Do with Grandmaster Sang Sup Kil 36
randmaster Ahmed invited Grandmaster Sang Sup Kil to the United States after discharge from the military. It was a long and tedious process, but emigration to the U.S. was granted in 1980. In between, Grandmaster Ahmed continued his study of Tae kwon Do and was in constant contact with Grandmaster Sang Sup Kil. He rose in rank over the years and opened a program at a nonprofit in Dearborn, Michigan, serving disadvantaged children and adults in 1970. His class rose to over 100 students in three months. It was time to open a dojang, so opening up in Detroit, where his skills were needed, was a sure thing for him. In less than one year, the school, a small store front, grew to 150 students. He opened up a second school in Riverview, Michigan, in 1980 when Grandmaster Kil arrived. Grandmaster Kil joined him, and they worked and lived together for one year. Grandmaster Sang Sup Kil went on to become President of the Michigan Taekwondo Association and US National Commissioner of Taekwondo USAT. He has coached a multitude of students to the coveted title of US National Champion. He is an international master instructor and referee as certified by the World Taekwondo Federation. Presently he serves on the advisory committee to the WTF. During this ten-year period from 1970 to 1980 Grandmaster Ahmed, after working as a police officer and then a correctional officer, switched to health care and took a job as director of hospital security. He still kept a full-time busy dojang open and even managed go to school full-time. Tae Kwon Do taught him the drive to succeed and the energy to do it. He continued through school, becoming a registered nurse (licensed in Michigan and Florida) and later a naturopath and acupuncturist. Grandmaster Kil, his brother Grandmaster Yong Sup Kil, and Grandmaster Ahmed continue their long-standing friendship/family relationship to the present day.

He was medical advisor for more than ten years to the USTU and USA Tae kwon Do Michigan, and Governors Cup Championships, as well as V. President of USTU and later USA Tae kwon Do Michigan and Olympic Eligibility Chairman of USTU and later USA Tae kwon Do Michigan.

ted the first tournament, called the "Battle of Detroit," in 1970 (later to be called "Stars for Charity") that grew into a major international expo with exhibit hall, tournament and workshops incorporating movie stars like Cynthia Rothrock, Don "the Dragon" Wilson, Michael Jai White and many others who attended to help raise money for health care and charity. This year funds were raised for The Wounded Warriors Project, an organization helping veterans who have been wounded in the wars. Great Grandmaster Kyo Yoon Lee made several visits to Michigan, and GM Ahmed was able to train with him. By 2002 GM Ahmed was promoted to 7th dan Kukkiwon and in 2010 he received the rank of 9th dan from Great Grandmaster Kyo Yoon Lee.
In mid 70s, to expand his reach, Grandmaster Dr. Ahmed created both the World Martial Arts College and the U.S. Tae Kwon Do Han Moo Kwan Association. The World Martial Arts College was dedicated to help all martial arts, regardless of system or style, and the U.S. Tae kwon Do Han Moo Kwan was founded to work with and help Tae kwon Do practitioners. He provides needed guidance, workshops, events, school business and marketing assistance and rank recognition through these organizations. They have grown quickly. GM Ahmed now has many affiliated schools and Instructors all over the world. Recently, he teamed up with the Martial Arts University and the Tai Chi Connection to expand the capabilities of bringing digital online instruction and face-to-face experience to affiliates.
In the 1990s Grandmaster Dr. Ahmed added Tai Chi Yang style to his martial arts study and resume, training with Grandmaster Yang Zhen Duo, 5th generation Yang family, and Han Zhen Duo, 6th generation Yang family. After working with seniors at three separate hospitals and teaching Tai Chi, he noticed that there is a difference between American-born seniors and Chinese-born seniors as stretching is very difficult for seniors and balance is weaker. So Grandmaster Dr. Ahmed created a modified form of Tai Chi for seniors. He continues to teach and also to provide Instructor courses in this modified version.
..."Children do not need to be forced to learn; they are motivated by their own desire to make sense of the world�... 40
The latest trend in martial arts has been the assimilation of enormous amounts of young children into schools. The latest estimates suggest that 80% of a martial arts school students are children. With films and other media focusing on this youngest audience, such as the Teenage Ninja Turtles, The Karate Kid, The Martial Arts Kid, etc., no school has a choice but to accept and learn new ways of working with classes that are predominately children. Grandmaster Dr. Ahmed incorporates the "home rules" as an integral part of any children's program. The home rules are simple and create a better human being: 1)
I will never talk back to my parents.
I will do my chores without being told.
I will do my homework without being told.
I will help with my sisters and brothers.
I will hug my parents at least once per day.
GM Ahmed believes that young children learn by doing. Knowledge is not something that is given to children as though they are empty vessels to be filled. Children acquire knowledge about the physical and social worlds in which they live through playful interaction with objects and people. Children do not need to be forced to learn; they are motivated by their own desire to make sense of the world.
GM Ahmed believes that separate classes just for children should be available at least a few times per week. In these classes games can be incorporated and the skills that are taught can be done at much slower rate. Another benefit of children-only classes is that sometimes younger children who are just starting feel less intimidated by the sight of other children their age than they would in a class dominated by adults. Children need a lot of repetition and find it comforting if there is a regular pattern to classes. A bit of flexibility is needed, however, so that the children do not get bored. For example, kicking can be done in line, on the bag, on kick targets, with partners, or relays. GM Ahmed cautions against either underestimating or overestimating children. Their rate of absorption is incredible at early ages. However, it takes time and lots of repetition to fine tune new skills. Instructors can use child development knowledge to identify the range of appropriate behaviors, activities, and materials for a specific age group. This knowledge is used in conjunction with understanding about individual children's growth patterns, strengths, interests, and experiences to design the most appropriate learning environment. An instructor must focus on all areas of development. All facets of the child's life are the child and must be addressed. If developmental areas are left
..."The best fight is to have never fought at all but have the preparedness to have met any situation"... out, it will be painfully obvious in their martial arts. A Tae kwon Do Instructor can help a child reach his/her full potential and grow as they learn one of the greatest of all martial arts. So a study into child development, even at a superficial level, is appropriate for all Tae kwon Do Instructors who are teaching children. GM Ahmed's creed for all students is 1) I will develop myself in a positive manner and avoid anything that could reduce my mental growth or physical health. 2) I will develop self-discipline in order to bring out the best in myself and others. 3) I will use what I learn in class constructively and defensively to help myself and others and never be abusive or offensive. 4) I will help the needy in any way I can. 5) I will strive to be my best. Grandmaster Dr. Ahmed's philosophy: There 42
is good in everyone if shown the way. He stresses the importance of the World Tae kwon Do Federation's notation on philosophy: "The philosophy of Taekwondo is very special, but what makes it so special? If we learn philosophy from books, we tend to forget it as soon as we leave them, because it is not related to our actual lives. But since Taekwondo is connected with our lives like every movement of ours is, we can never forget its philosophy." That is, the philosophy is one of actions that can be learned from other actions, and our everyday activities. Taekwondo philosophy represents the principles of the changes and movements in human beings. It also represents the principles of our lives, since life consists of our movements. Therefore, we can say Taekwondo is a philosophy in itself. Grandmaster Dr. Ahmed's simple philosophy is the importance of having a clean mind and a clean spirit; to train the body, mind, and spirit; and to live by this in daily life. The "best fight is to have never fought at all but have the prepa-
redness to have met any situation." Respect for fellow man, for community, and to always be in search of a way to lift someone up that is down. If this was everyone's philosophy and we all acted on it, the world would be a better place to live.

philosophies, as well as beliefs from Shintoism, Buddhism, etc... In their origins, martial arts seeks practical efficiency and resolution of conflicts as fastly and consistently as posible, as well as developing an ability that will no doubt take time to achieve, but will be reached with time and perseverance. That said, each person must use their own personal tools. Once we've achieved this. Is this all? Is our training finished? Nothing far from reality It has just begun.
he main purpose of martial arts is efficiency during combat.
Martial arts are much more than they appear, since they not only teach to win a combat, but also overcome our more difficult struggles in life.
In fact, this was the original reason for its creation. However, martial arts were influenced by those cultures where they originated and impregnated by their
A correct personal defense does not have to be just physical, but also psychological, even spiritual, in order to face life's obstacles to survive in this di-
fficult world we live in. Recently there have been developments in a series of modern systems applied to street or military combat. Those systems present simpler programs to achieve efficiency in less time, as well as to decrease the time a student needs to face a possible real aggression, since these programs are designed to teach security and military personel. Hakuda Jutsu also shares this vision that the student should learn the biggest number of skills in as little time as possible, since personal defense is our main goal and you never know when you might need them. However, we must not overlook the development of other atributes, such as ethical and philosophical ones, wich I personally consider as necessary as the other ones, since they represent the other half of the same
discipline. Both are needed to train real martial arts fighters and better persons, something we tend to forget in this day and age. A correct technique in order to achieve efficiency must rely especially on self-control and concentration all the time. Otherwise, you cannot be a martial artist. The path is infinite, neverending. It gets closer to an end when you think you're in possession of absolute truth or you've reached your final goal... That is the point of no return for many people. If there is something that is certain is that someone who prides themselves of being a master never stops learning. are students always , since knowledge is their true reward, as well as the chance to share them with other Efficiency and Ethics.

Teachings of the Budha Crossing the Wilderness Apannaka Jataka (Jataka No. 1) (From Jataka Tales of the Buddha, part I. Retold by Ken and Visakha Kawasaki. Copyright@1995.)
hile the Buddha was staying at Jetavana Monastery near Savatthi, the wealthy banker, Anathapindika, went one day to pay his respects. His servants carried masses of flowers, perfume, butter, oil, honey, molasses, cloths, and robes. Anathapindika paid obeisance to the Buddha, presented the offerings he had brought, and sat down respectfully. At that time, Anathapindika was accompanied by five hundred friends who were followers of heretical teachers. His friends also paid their respects to the Buddha and sat close to the banker. The Buddha's face appeared like a full moon, and his body was surrounded by a radiant aura. Seated on the red stone seat, he was like a young lion roaring with a clear, noble voice as he taught them a discourse full of sweetness and beautiful to the ear. After hearing the Buddha's teaching, the five hundred gave up their heretical practices and took refuge in the Triple Gem: the Buddha, the Dhamma, and the Sangha. After that, they went regularly with Anathapindika to offer flowers and incense and to hear the teaching. They gave liberally, kept the precepts, and faithfully observed the Uposatha Day. [1] Soon after the Buddha left Savatthi to return to Rajagaha, however, these men abandoned their new faith and reverted to their previous beliefs. Seven or eight months later, the Buddha returned to Jetavana. Again, Anathapindika brought these friends to visit the Buddha. They paid their respects,
but Anathapindika explained that they had forsaken their refuge and had resumed their original practices. The Buddha asked, "Is it true that you have abandoned refuge in the Triple Gem for refuge in other doctrines?" The Buddha's voice was incredibly clear because throughout myriad aeons He had always spoken truthfully. When these men heard it, they were unable to conceal the truth. "Yes, Blessed One," they confessed. "It is true." "Disciples," the Buddha said "nowhere between the lowest of hells below and the highest heaven above, nowhere in all the infinite worlds that stretch right and left, is there the equal, much less the superior, of a Buddha. Incalculable is the excellence which springs from obeying the Precepts and from other virtuous conduct." Then he declared the virtues of the Triple Gem. "By taking refuge in the Triple Gem," He told them, "one escapes from rebirth in states of suffering." He further explained that meditation on the Triple Gem leads through the four stages to Enlightenment. "In forsaking such a refuge as this," he admonished them, "you have certainly erred. In the past, too, men who foolishly mistook what was no refuge for a real refuge, met disaster. Actually, they fell prey to yakkhas -evil spirits -- in the wilderness
and were utterly destroyed. In contrast, men who clung to the truth not only survived, but actually prospered in that same wilderness." Anathapindika raised his clasped hands to his forehead, praised the Buddha, and asked him to tell that story of the past. "In order to dispel the world's ignorance and to conquer suffering," the Buddha proclaimed, "I practiced the Ten Perfections for countless aeons. Listen carefully, and I will speak." Having their full attention, the Buddha made clear, as though he were releasing the full moon from behind clouds, what rebirth had concealed from them. Long, long ago, when Brahmadatta was reigning in Baranasi, the Bodhisatta was born into a merchant's family and grew up to be a wise trader. At the same time, in the same city, there was another merchant, a very stupid fellow, with no common sense whatsoever. One day it so happened that the two merchants each loaded five hundred carts with costly wares of Baranasi and prepared to leave in the same direction at exactly the same time. The wise merchant thought, "If this silly young fool travels with me and if our thousand carts stay together, it will be too much for the road. Finding wood and water for the men 52
will be difficult, and there won't "Very well, my friend," he said, be enough grass for the oxen. "please go first." Either he or I must go first." "I will," said the foolish merchant, "Look," he said to the other and he yoked his carts and set merchant, "the two of us can't out. After a while he came to travel together. Would you the outskirts of a wilderness. He rather go first or follow after filled all of his huge water jars me?" with water before setting out to cross the sixty yojanas [2] of The foolish trader thought, desert which lay before him.

"I see that your men
are all wet and muddy and that you have lotuses and water lilies. Did it rain while you were on the road? Did you come across pools with lotuses and water lilies?" "What do you mean?" the yakkha exclaimed. "Over there is the dark-green streak of a jungle. Beyond that there is plenty of water. It is always raining there, and there are many lakes with lotuses and water lilies." Then, pretending to be interested in the merchant's business, he asked, "What do you have in these carts?" "Expensive merchandise," answered the merchant. "What is in this cart which seems so heavily laden?" the yakkha asked as the last cart rolled by.
without saving even a single cupful of water, and ordered the men to drive on quickly. Of course, they did not find any water, and they were soon exhausted from thirst. At sunset they drew their carts into a circle and tethered the oxen to the wheels, but there was no water for the weary animals. Without water, the men could not cook any rice either. They sank to the ground and fell asleep. As soon as night came, the yakkhas attacked, killing every single man and beast. The fiends devoured the flesh, leaving only the bones, and departed. Skeletons were strewn in every direction, but the five hundred carts stood with their loads untouched. Thus the heedless young merchant was the sole cause of the destruction of the entire caravan.
"That's full of water." Allowing six weeks to pass after the foolish trader had left, the Bodhisatta set out with his five hundred carts. When he reached the edge of the wilderness, he filled his water jars. Then he assembled his men and announced, "Let not so much as a handful of water be used without my permission. Furthermore, there are poisonous plants in this wilderness. Do not eat any leaf, flower, or fruit which you have never eaten before, without showing it to me first." Having thus carefully warned his men, he led the caravan into the The merchant was so foolish wilderness. that he followed the yakkha's advice. He broke all the jars, When they had reached the "You were wise to carry water with you this far, but there is no need for it now, since water is so abundant ahead. You could travel much faster and lighter without those heavy jars. You'd be better off breaking them and throwing the water away. Well, good day," he said suddenly, as he turned his carriage. "We must be on our way. We have stopped too long already." He rode away quickly with his men. As soon as they were out of sight, he turned and made his way back to his own city.
middle of the wilderness, the yakkha appeared on the path just as before. The merchant noticed his red eyes and fearless manner and suspected something strange. "I know there is no water in this desert," he said to himself. "Furthermore, this stranger casts no shadow. He must be a yakkha. He probably tricked the foolish merchant, but he doesn't realize how clever I am." "Get out of here!" he shouted at the yakkha. "We are men of business. We do not throw away our water before we see where more is to come from!" Without saying any more, the yakkha rode away. As soon as the yakkhas had left, the merchant's men approached their leader and said, "Sir, those men were wearing lotuses and water lilies on their heads. Their clothes and hair were wringing wet. They told us that up ahead there is a thick forest where it is always raining. Let us throw away our water so that we can proceed quicker with lightened carts." The merchant ordered a halt and summoned all his men. "Has any man among you ever heard before today," he asked, "that there was a lake or a pool in this wilderness?" "No, sir," they answered. "It's known as the 'Waterless Desert.' " AUGUST/2016
"We have just been told by some throwing away a drop of water!" strangers that it is raining in the forest just ahead. How far does Just as the merchant had a rain-wind carry?" predicted, his caravan soon came upon the five hundred "A yojana, sir." carts with the skeletons of men and oxen strewn in every "Has any man here seen the top direction. He ordered his men of even a single storm-cloud?" to arrange his carts in a fortified circle, to take care of the oxen, "No, sir." and to prepare an early supper for themselves. After the animals "How far off can you see a flash and men had all safely bedded of lightning?" down, the merchant and his foremen, swords in hand, stood "Four or five yojanas, sir." guard all through the night.
the Buddha had expounded the Four Truths, those five hundred disciples were established in the Fruit of the First Path. The Buddha concluded his lesson by identifying the Birth as follows: "The foolish young merchant was Devadatta, [4] and his men were Devadatta's followers. The wise merchant's men were the followers of the Buddha, and I myself was that wise merchant." ............................................................
"Has any man here seen a flash At daybreak the merchant of lightning?" replaced his own weak carts for stronger ones and exchanged "No, sir." his own common goods for the most costly of the abandoned "How far off can a man hear a merchandise. When he arrived peal of thunder?" at his destination, he was able to barter his stock of wares at "Two or three yojanas, sir." two or three times their value. He returned to his own city "Has any man here heard a peal without losing a single man out of thunder?" of all his company. "No, sir." "Those were not men, but yakkhas," the wise merchant told his men. "They are hoping that we will throw away our water. Then, when we are weak and faint, they will return to devour us. Since the young merchant who went before us was not a man of good sense, most likely he was fooled by them. We may expect to find his carts standing just as they were first loaded. We will probably see them today. Press on with all possible speed, without 54
This story ended, the Buddha said, "Thus it was, laymen, that in times past, the foolish came to utter destruction, while those who clung to the truth escaped from the yakkhas' hands, reached their goal in safety, and returned to their homes again. "This clinging to the truth not only endows happiness even up to rebirth in the Realm of Brahma, [3] but also leads ultimately to Arahatship. Following untruth entails rebirth either in the four states of punishment or in the lowest conditions of mankind." After
Notes: 1. The Uposatha is the full, new, and half-moon days, when many Buddhists observe the Eight Precepts. 2. Yojana: a unit of distance, about seven miles. 3. The Realm of Brahma refers to the highest heavens, where beings enjoy radiant bliss. 4. Devadatta was a cousin of the Buddha. He tried to kill the Master several times, but always failed.

JOXE VICENTE EGUZKIZA Photos By: Abraham Domínguez Ocon
RUNNING IS ONE OF THE BASIC EXERCISES FOR ANY SPORTSMAN. HOW MUCH EGUZKIZA RAN, NUMBER OF KILOMETERS, TIMES A WEEK AND THEIR FAVORITE TIMES? Running, very important for any fighter; for me, it was what made me suffer most; I never liked, but I knew I needed and worked much, much more... My biggest effect was the resistance and that is why I worked to death, perhaps too much, was my obsession! I always think that if I had, for example , 20% more resistance, I would have knocked out 100% of my opponents, I was sure! I ran 4 to 5 times per week; 40-45 minutes 2-3 days between thresholds, aerobic and anaerobic with heart rate monitor and twice for six of 1000 minutes, one day, and another 400 minutes ; a nightmare!
JUMPING ROPE HAD PRIORITY IN YOUR TRAINING? On the rope jumping, I have to say that when I started fighting in Savate, I fell my kneecaps very overwork, and doing this exercise at the beginning of the workouts for 20 minutes.... The problem disappeared.
HOW MANY TIMES YOU WERE DOWN BY THE PUNCH OF YOUR OPPONENTS? YOU DID SOME EXERCISE FOR YOUR JAW OR YOUR JAW IT'S NATURALLY'RE STRONG? I only get down once by a huge high kick due to my own fault but I could get up and win that fight, even I knock down my adversary in the next assault! I've always had good timing, without that, there is nothing, but received little in the fighting and that's the key to success.
HOW IMPORTANT IS THE FINGER BANDAGE FOR A FIGHTER, AND HOW YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR HANDS? My hands were one of my main problems, through ignorance, precisely for the lack of a good bandage. Now, that would not happen to me, because the time and necessity I became an expert in protect my hands (I suffered a lot of the metacarpals, but never of the wrists or the knuckles) IT WAS EASY TO GAIN WEIGHT BEFORE COMPETITIONS? OR YOU KEPT THE SAME WEIGHT ALL THE TIME? The weight was never a problem for me, fighting in my own weight and I did not have to squeeze a lot, and I felt good and strong. When I did in 66,8 kgs I make some diet and no trouble, when i did at 70 kgs ... looking like a was 71-72 kgs. YOU TAKE CARE OF YOU SELF AS A FIGHTER AND ONLY FOR IT, OR YOU WERE DOING OTHER TYPES OF SPORTS WHERE YOU COULD INJURE YOURSELF OR ANY RISKY ACTIVITIES? I always did every sport that I wanted but trying not risk my career and I have two examples: run-
ning of the bulls of San Fermin, but I abandon that at age of 25, when he saw a high risk of hurting me or getting hurt, it also happened to me with climbing which I find exciting, but more of the same: is the price to pay to compete in the elite; on the other hand, in summer, some running training I substituted them for swimming practice. WHAT WAS THE BIGGEST OFFENSE RECEIVED FROM SOMEONE FROM THE PUBLIC AND WHICH OF ANY OPPONENT THAT YOU REMEMBER? There was more than one, but since you're Cuban, I remember in a boxing match in San Miguel del Padron, in which a spectator shouted: "Punch that white son of a b ..." and the rest of second to the third round I started to curse him , and them Santin, the coach Paco Paco, told me: "Joxe, concentrate on the fight," and when I finished, I started looking for him and people said, "he's gone" ... another time was in a fight in Spain against an African called Eduars, that did not stop insulting in the press conference and I just told him: "Keep your energy and your big mouth for the day of the fight, you'll lose" and that was what happen ; a short time later he call me home and apologized, which I thanked him without rancor. WHAT DID YOU DO TO RELAX YOURSELF IN YOUR TIME OFF? I was always tired and sleepy, so I liked and I like, Eat well, rest and enjoy conversations with good friends. WHICH OF YOUR OPPONENTS IN THE RING BECAME A FRIEND AND WHO REMAINED BEING A RIVAL? I never liked to make friends with my opponents before any fights and that is the truth, to many of them never saw them again, most of them were foreigners, others however I have seen them and the relations are good. Others do not like to meet with me. 62
HOW DO YOU REACHED RETIREMENT? It came as everything in life in the perfect moment, at 37 years old, many battles fights, laziness for the training began, as a professional I retired and never came back, I do not like those fighters who return again and again and moves on the ring , tarnishing their brilliant careers.

More beautiful for having been broken
Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold.
The Japanese have created a word that describes both art and a philosophy for life. Kintsugi is the art of taking a broken piece of pottery and repairing it through the use of gold glue. The finished product is a once broken piece resurrected and made more beautiful through repair. Kintsugi reminds us that breakage and repair is a valuable part of our histories and is not something to be ashamed of, to forget or to hide.
'Artists experiment with the ancient technique of Kintsugi as a means of analyzing the idea of loss, synthesis, and improvement through destruction and repair or rebirth.' Wikipedia.
I recall times in which I have felt broken, completely devastated with a deeply felt sense that I would be unable to recover the person I once was.
In these moments I was right, I would never ever be the same again. The experiences that led me to feel broken changed me. In the moments I felt most broken, my heart heavy with pain, I was confused and unsure of how repair could ever be possible. In these difficult moments and the days and months that followed, I quite reasonably doubted that I would ever mend.
I feared that I had lost myself for good, well at least the version of me I had known up until that time. Upon reflection I can see that despite feeling broken, I didn't lose any part of my true self. What was lost in those difficult times was the ability to connect with a solid sense of myself; tough times had fractured how I perceived life....and myself.
Such is the power of crisis that it can turn your world upside down; the inner and outer aspects of our lives can become confused. Just like I have seen many others do, I internalised some of the chaos that was occurring in my outer world. This only served to enhance the murkiness and confusion inside my mind. My perception became discoloured through the filter of mistruths- some I had long believed of myself and some I allowed in from the outer.
The pain of believing those lies continued to make repair impossible; the pain drove me to find another way, something closer to the truth.
In order to repair my broken sense of self, I had to discover new beliefs & ditch the crappy ones. I became much more selective about how I chose my personal 'truths', I was clear that I wanted them to be life enhancing (rather than soul destroying). These 'truths' became my golden glue, filling the gaps to make me whole and strong again.
I have mended, but I will never be the same person I was before my experiences of 'broken'. This is a blessing, because who I am, is exactly who I need to be now.
With the gold for glue I feel stronger than ever, I also know that if I ever feel broken or cracked again, I have Kintsugi. Kintsugi provides us hope and an opportunity to discover a new version of wholeness which honours our complex real-life human histories.
I know now, I am more beautiful for having been broken.
I would love to hear your thoughts & experiences with brokenness & wholeness and the journey in between, please share your thoughts in the comments section!

Welcome to our kitchen! The kitchen is an important place in our home. Now, I know some people don't like to share recipes. I am certainly not one of them :) I am a firm believer in sharing a good thing. I quote my husband's Aunt Joan, who said:
"Sure, I'll give out my recipes, why not?
They still have to pull it off!"
My thoughts EXACTLY! Passing on a good thing is even more important when dealing with the challenges of food sensitivities, severe allergies, or other digestive problems. Life is tough enough without guarding the all good things we've found like precious jewels! If there IS an actual "jewel" to be had - let it be improved health and menu planning, that can be easy and enjoyable again! We're all in this together!
"Do not neglect to do good and share what you have,
for such sacrifices are pleasing to God."
~Hebrews 13:16
Incase you might be wondering what drove us to such "wild dietary extremes?" It's a bit of a loaded question, but I can condense it for you!

GARDEZ, Afghanistan – The American commander of Operation Anaconda said hundreds of Taliban and Al Qaeda fighters were killed in fierce fighting that carried into Wednesday as U.S.-led coalition forces pressed their offensive in the rugged mountains of eastern Afghanistan — entering at least one cave complex.
"We caught several hundred of them with RPGs [rocket-propelled grenades] and mortars heading toward the fight. We body slammed them today and killed hundreds of those guys," said Maj. Gen. Frank L. Hagenbeck, the commander of the operation near Gardez, 75 miles south of Kabul, the capital.
U.S. forces in the region said as many as 800 opposition fighters had been seen moving toward the battle since the American-led operation was launched on Saturday.
U.S.-led forces continued inching up the snow-covered mountains, meanwhile, trying to reach hideouts still believed to contain hundreds more Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters. Some forces entered at least one cave complex, uncovering weapons caches.
Allied jets flew high over Paktia province, dropping bombs as well as decoy flares to ward off heat-seeking missiles — defensive measures after two U.S. helicopters were hit Monday in incidents that left seven U.S. soldiers dead.
Front-line commander Abdul Matin Hasankhiel said hundreds of Afghan and coalition forces have ringed the mountain range and trapped the Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters higher up.
"They can't escape. They're surrounded. Slowly, slowly we are pushing in," he said.
Hundreds of Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters are believed to be holed up in the area, Brig. Gen. John Rosa told reporters at the Pentagon. Bombers and tactical aircraft have dropped more than 450 bombs on the area since the assault began Friday night, he said.
"We've been able to get into at least one of the cave complexes thus far and we've discovered mortars, rocket-propelled grenade rounds, small arms. And in a different location we found more weapons and ammunition, as well as foreign driver's licenses and foreign passports," he said. He did not say whether there was resistance entering the cave complex.
One fighter, Nawab, who returned from a front-line position Tuesday, said about 50 U.S. special forces were fighting alongside Afghan soldiers at his position about 2 miles from Shah-e-Kot, the village that is the focus of the largest U.S.-led coalition air and ground operation in Afghanistan to date.
Mine sweepers were leading the way, clearing the paths along the snowy mountains. Attack jets circled overhead and pounded Al Qaeda positions while Chinook helicopters ferried in supplies. A powerful fleet of aircraft — including A-10s, F-15s, B-1s, B-52s, AC-130 gunships, and French Mirage 2000 and Super-Etendard aircraft — was participating in the assault.
The blitz was concentrating on a 60-square-mile area south of the provincial capital, Gardez.
Nawab said fighting was less intense than in previous days. The militants were equipped with heavy artillery, anti-aircraft weapons, mortars, cannons and machine guns.
"Inshallah [God willing] in three or four days they will be finished," he said.
U.S. officials said Tuesday the United States had observed Al Qaeda forces reoccupying several former training camps in the region that were bombed earlier in the war.
"We don't know how long it's going to take, but we'll be there until the Al Qaeda and Taliban forces are totally uprooted," said Gunnery Sgt. Charles Portman, a spokesman at the U.S. Central Command in Tampa, Fla.
The eight American servicemen killed in Afghanistan were honored in Germany before their flag-draped caskets were flown back to the United States. A C-17 transport jet brought the men's remains to Ramstein Air Base and was met on the tarmac by a U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force honor guard for the somber ceremony under cloudy skies in the wooded hills of western Germany.
"We should make sure these very brave people who lost their lives did not do so in vain," British Prime Minister Tony Blair said Tuesday, calling for the world to redouble its efforts to stamp out terrorism.
Neither the former Taliban supreme leader Mullah Mohammed Omar nor Al Qaeda chief Usama bin Laden was believed to be in the Shah-e-Kot area, but Afghans say hundreds of their supporters and their families are there.
U.S. officials said Tuesday the enemy troops included foreigners who fought with the Taliban, Al Qaeda members, and members of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan.
As of Monday, about 100 or 200 enemy fighters had been killed and a small number detained, said Gen. Tommy Franks, commander of the war in Afghanistan.
Afghan and American defense officials said the Taliban and Al Qaeda fighters were likely armed with shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles such as Russian SA-7s and possibly American Stingers — as well as mortars, grenades and cannons.
On Tuesday, about 60 Afghan fighters outfitted in U.S.-issued parkas, their heads wrapped in turbans, headed to the front lines from Jaji, northeast of Gardez. Bright orange strips were affixed to the top of the transport trucks to identify them to the allied bombers and helicopters roaring overhead.
The American deaths Monday occurred during two operations involving MH-47 Chinook helicopters, Rosa said. In the first, a helicopter inserting special forces was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade, forcing it down. As it tried to lift off, one American fell out, Rosa said. Another helicopter retrieved the rest of the crew.
Three hours later, a Chinook was trying to land forces in the same area when it was hit by machine-gun fire and a rocket-propelled grenade, Rosa said. The helicopter was forced down, and a gunbattle took place in which six U.S. soldiers were killed. When members of that helicopter were evacuated, the body of the soldier who fell from the first was found, Rosa said.
Sgt. Rodrick White, 23, an infantryman from Enterprise, Ala., who is stationed along with the 101st Airborne at the U.S. air base in Kandahar, said he was saddened by news of the American casualties, but said he and his men were ready if called upon to take part in the fighting in eastern Afghanistan.
"The guys that got hurt before me are in my heart and in my mind, but I know that I have five other guys that are right beside me and it's my responsibility to make sure that they get home," he said.

A/N:A few weeks ago I was remembering the John Denver commercials from the 90s and I got the hankering for some John Denver. So I got a bunch of songs including Rocky Mountain High. While listening to it the idea that developed into this product was so genius I had to write it. Some of it may not seem to fit but if timed right it will.
Lonely Mountain High
Words by Jennifer Failing; Music by John Denver and Mike Taylor
He went off on a journey ere his fifty-first year
Going off to a place he'd never been before
He left Hobbiton behind him, and his pocket handkerchief
So Thorin could use a key on hidden door.
When he came to the Misty Mountains his life was far away
In the pass they ran into a storm
And the goblins they did find them and bound them without care.
He riddled with gollum and escaped to fight the wyrm.
In Eriador's Misty Mountains high
Saw eagles fighting goblins from the sky
Bilbo feels like bacon that's been put back on the shelf
Misty Mountains high.
(there and back again)
He stayed with a bear man, he saw bees big as your thumb
He saw animals put out the silverware
And the dwarves they borrowed some ponies to reach the edge of Mirkwood.
Where Gandalf left them to go fight Sauron
Now he walks in a great solitude the forest of the elves
Seeking dwarves in every step he takes
Using barrels to free them from the Elven-king's halls
To freedom in a town on a lake.
And Rhovanion's Lonely Mountain high
They saw Smaug rainin' fire in the sky
Bard talked to a thrush and then he let his arrow fly
Lonely Mountain high.
(There and back again)
Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
Why they try to fight for dragon's gold: a battle of five armies
There's bodies scattered upon the land.
And Rhovanion's Lonely Mountain high
Eagles were fighting wargs from the sky
I know he'd be a poorer hobbit if he never went with the dwarves
Lonely Mountain high
(There and back again)
It's Rhovanion's Lonely Mountain high
Found his neighbors auctioning off his spoons
His sword hangs on the mantelpiece and he dusts it with pride.
Lonely Mountain high.
(There and back again)

Pam Geller: Her blog includes a eulogy for Eugene Terre'Blance
Throughout the long drama of the Cold War, advocates of liberty were left in a dilemma by the failure to define the struggle as anything other than communism versus anti-communism. The latter's unwillingness to define itself as anything positive, as pro-Capitalism, left it willing to side with the unacceptable and defending the indefensible, whether it was the Taliban in Afghanistan, or the Apartheid regime in South Africa.
This left the conscientious defender of liberty in a dilemma. If one considers the American civil rights movement, its proponents could ask how the land of the free could deny liberty to millions of its citizens and use them as canon-fodder solely on the basis of pigmentation? However, its opponents could ask how a movement could advocate justice for the descendants of slavery while defending a system that had just enslaved a third of mankind? Only a vanishing minority were able to oppose both.
I mention this history because a horrible repetition seems to be underway in the counter-Jihad movement. A loose and sloppy definition of what it is for, rather than against is empowering fantastically illiberal movements. I am thinking of two leading lights of the movement, Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller.
To even begin to make this case, I must make several concessions. It is certainly true that the decision to prevent their entry into the UK is a disgrace. It is also true that one must tackle the ball and not the man; the menace of the Islamic far-Right is not diminished no matter who points it out. Finally, going too far is infinitely preferable to a mainstream that goes nowhere at all. (The most tiresome experience in the recent row over Richard Dawkins's tweets were the number of people who said that, yes, of course they believed it right and proper to criticise Islam, as long as it was under the right circumstances and in the right time, and really, tweeting was just going much too far.)
None of this can make the issues of racism and fascism non-existent or irrelevant.
Once again, I must stress that I do not believe that either Spencer or Geller are racists or fascists or have any sympathy whatsoever for either of those views, and acknowledge that these terms have been abused almost to the point of meaninglessness. However, just take Ms Geller for starters. In her blog, Atlas Shrugs 2000, alongside her anti-Islamic material one finds a rather impassioned piece on the murder of Eugene Terreblanche, the former leader of the South African AWB. Now, what exactly is blog supposedly dedicated to opposing Islam's Jihad doing writing a eulogy for a racist thug, and former leader of a white supremacist terrorist gang? Why, to ask the larger question, are the internal affairs of the new South Africa of any interest whatsoever to Geller and her readers?
There's an obvious answer and it is wrong. Genuine racists do not go out of their way to, for example, form close friendships with escaped Sudanese slaves.. Geller certainly does not want for courage — the defence of slave's rights and the prevention of at least one honour killing is a better days work than I have ever done. However, she suffers from a fantastic lack of discrimination in the stuff she publishes and advances, and this sometimes leads her to recirculate, the work of a truly rancid fringe of the American right — a fringe for whom the present day sufferings of white Afrikaners is a cause celebre and a fringe that had exactly nothing to say about the Apartheid system. That she seems to be completely clueless about the nature of what she is defending, is not a defence that is particularly reassuring.
To further the point about a lack of discrimination, I invite the reader to consider the following. It is true that the world will stop using fossil fuels before the American political process stops using hysterical paranoia, but even by those standards, an article, promoted on Miss Geller's blog, that argues President Obama is the lovechild of Malcolm X is excessive. Her defence is worth nothing — that she didn't believe that President Obama was the lovechild of Malcolm X, merely that the article in question made some other valid points. Well, the prosecution rests.
