THE BEST DUMPSTER RENTALS: PRICES AND HOW IT WORKS

Posted on May 19, 2022 by Jackson

Renting a dumpster is easier today than it’s ever been before. Today, you can
find dozens of leading rental dumpster companies serving large and small markets
around the world.

Whether you’re looking for a construction dumpster, a residential dumpster, a
commercial dumpster, or an industrial dumpster, you can get the right rental
dumpster at a discount price from a local provider near you.

Most rental dumpster companies make it easy to select an ideal rental dumpster:

 1. Shop around and compare prices online, then select the local rental dumpster
    company you like.
 2. Request an estimate and compare prices.
 3. Select the rental dumpster size you need.
 4. Schedule the rental dumpster drop-off and pick-up.
 5. Wait for the rental dumpster to arrive, fill it up with any unwanted junk,
    then wait for the rental dumpster company to pick up the bin.

Some rental dumpsters are designed for specific types of junk – like
construction and demolition materials. Others are designed for organic waste –
like plants, trees, fallen branches, and soil. Some companies ban certain items
from rental dumpsters – like appliances. Others allow you to fill your dumpster
with virtually anything.

Not sure which rental dumpster size you need? Most people are unsure. Unless
you’re an experienced project manager, it’s tough to estimate your approximate
rental dumpster size needs and tonnage. Fortunately, most rental dumpster
companies can answer questions for you. They have trained staff who can answer
questions, explain pricing, and give you all of the information you need to know
before you get a rental dumpster delivered to your location.


ESTIMATED RENTAL DUMPSTER PRICING: HOW MUCH DO ROLL-OFF BINS COST?

Roll-away construction dumpsters cost anywhere from $200 to $800, depending on
the size, length of the rental, local costs.

Renting a dumpster in a big city tends to be more expensive than renting a
dumpster in smaller cities because of higher costs of living. However, some
small towns have higher rental dumpster prices because they’re only served by
one or two providers.

Your rental dumpster company should disclose all tipping fees (i.e. disposal
charges) upfront. Some companies bundle these costs …


THE VALUE OF MARTIAL ART WORKSHOPS

Posted on April 8, 2021 by Jackson

Author: Michael Babin
IN THE LAST five years of teaching a Yang style of Tai Chi, I have come to
realise just how important it is to attend an occasional workshop given by
someone whose understanding of the art is more mature than my own.

Recently, after several years of corre­spondence, I and my students had the
op­portunity to train with Erie Montaigue when he agreed to add Ottawa, Canada,
to his Spring 199] tour of schools in Eng­land and the United States.

For those who have never trained with, heard of, read the articles or studied
the videos of this man, Erie has been practis­ing Tai Chi Chuan since 1968, and
trained with Master Wong Eog, Master Chu King Hung and Grandmaster Chang
Yiu-Chun. He was certified as a Master in ] 985, on the Chinese mainland; is the
Chairman of the World Taiji Boxing Association and publisher/editor of the
quarterly maga­zine, Tai Chi Combat & Healing.

No matter what their level of Tai Chi martial skill or experience, few are so
well-balanced in their development that they couldn’t benefit from the
opportu­nity to learn from and compare approaches with someone of his expertise
and experi­ence.

Beginners get the opportunity to “sample the wares” of a master practitio­ner,
so as to help them decide what direc­tions they want their training to take.
More advanced students get to experience approaches to the art that may be very
different from those to which they are accustomed. And advanced practitioners
have the opportunity to discuss and refine their theoretical and tactical
skills.

No matter what your style or level of accomplishment, a few hours/days apply­ing
yourself with more experienced in­structors can bring results that would take
months or years (or possibly never come) if you were working on your own, or
solely with the instructor of your own style.

Perhaps of greater importance, if you are instructing Tai Chi, you do your own
students a great disservice if you fail to get those workshop insights that
might help you to help them develop. In addition, your rigid example may make
them feel …


MARTIAL ARTS PARROT LEARNING

Posted on April 8, 2021 by Jackson

Author: Stephen Grayston
I refer to the methodology that if I teach you that two plus two equals four and
you can remember that when it comes to writing that answer on an exam paper –
then you achieve a pass mark. In brief, that is a summary of how our edu­cation
system works – and in past years as some may be aware – the marks required to
pass have low­ered and those claiming to be ‘edu­cated’ are simply those who
have the ability to remember and recall detailed information. Now, the problem
with this methodology is that as soon as we require the ‘indi­vidual’ to think
as an ‘individual’ the process breaks down as they have no pre-learned text for
‘free-thought’ to fall back on.

I do not teach ‘groups’ but indi­viduals as ‘individuals’, for if you are
attacked in the street it is with your own skill and ability that you would
stand the chance of survival. Not by the recall of what was learned on lesson
five, week seven, in the year blah, blah, etc. Obviously, we need to have
experi­enced lesson five, etc., but a good teacher should help the student to
‘interpret’ the meaning and varied usage of the knowledge imparted. Our problem
occurs when the class teacher, who’s only experience of educating is from when
they were in the schooling system – decides that ‘Parrot Learning’ will be how
they teach their class. This can be seen at various Kyu/Dan Grading

Examinations across the country where students simply emulate what the teacher
has shown, and in some cases becomes a clone of the teacher. Fine for the
preservation of an art – but in order to give the stu­dent ‘street sense’ and
the ability to become tomorrow’s master – they must develop their own skill and
manner of usage.

I find that sadly ‘Parrot Learning’ occurs in many other things as well –
Nihongo (Japanese Language) as an example. I’ve had numerous Nihongo teachers
over the years and nearly all have employed the ‘Parrot Learning’ method. Which
is fine if one intends to …


KENKOKAN KARATEDO

Posted on April 8, 2021 by Jackson

Author: Sensei Scott Brown
VIRTUALLY EVERY Martial Artist who has ever achieved any notable degree of
success and seniority in the martial path of their choice has had to overcome
vari­ous hardships and obstacles along the way. But Sensei Scott Brown,
successful International Koshiki Contact toumament fighter and 4th Dan Chief
Instructor of Shorinjiryu Kenkokan Karatedo in NSW, has had to fight back from
devastating leg and foot injuries which would have stopped many lesser men in
their tracks.

The injuries which laid Scott low but failed to dampen his indomitable Martial
Arts spirit- include thigh muscles “shredded to jelly” by the high-explosive
impact of a bullet from a .357 Magnum, the weapon described in Clint Eastwood’s
widely-quoted ‘Dirty Harry’ line as “the most powerful handgun in the world”.
The former exclusive private school and agricultural student and world
travell­er, now fulltime, professional Karate Instructor, describes the
circumstances leading to the potentially lethal injuries as ‘a simple accident’;
“I tripped on a step, the firearm discharged, and the bullet ended up in my left
leg. It’s still there, in fact. Ever seen a kangaroo that’s been shot with a
Magnum? That part of my leg, the upper thigh, was just like that… jelly!

“So that certainly slowed me up for a while. Although that was in May, 1982”,
Scott recalls, “and in November that year we went to Japan and fought there. So,
from almost losing my leg – the bullet just missed the femoral artery – and
thinking I would never walk again in May, I was back in Japan, fighting in an
inter­national tournament, six months later!”

Scott credits the dedicated assistance of two Karate training partners and good
mates, Graham Bowden and Gordon Kliese, for much of the impetus in keeping him
going through those painful months of rehabilitation. “Graham and Gordon got me
up every morning and we trained. We prepared for that tournament – a World
Championship event in Japan ­and we won. The Australian Shorinjiryu Kenkokan
team won that event”. More on th.tt.later. But first, the other crippling
accitIent…

“I’m reasonably accident-prone, I guess”, …


KARTA FORMS

Posted on April 8, 2021 by Jackson

Author: Situ David Crook
MARTIAL ARTISTS reading this article can probably be divided into two broad
categories – those who believe in the value of fist sets (or kata, hyung etc)
and those who don’t. Some people think that sets are an integral part of their
Mar­tial Art and others think that they are totally unnecessary.

Those of you who’ve read my previous articles will have formed the impression
that I am in favour of a combat-effective style of training and am a bit
non-tradi­tional in nature. That may be so – but I still like to do sets! I also
like to do bag work, weaponry, grappling, groundfight­ing, Chi Kung exercises
and many other aspects of Kung-Fu. I believe that sets are a valuable training
aid – one that can improve balance, flow, rhythm and co­ordination. However,
those skills can also be attained by doing shadow-boxing, combinations training,
etc, and some people may feel that those alternatives suit them better.

One of the problems with sets training is that some instructors over-emphasise
its value to the detriment of other aspects of their training. It should be
viewed as PART of our total training – not the totality.
To my mind, learning a Martial Art is similar to learning a language. First, you
learn basic sounds – which equate to individual basic techniques. Then, you
learn to link those sounds into words ­which equate to simple combinations.
Those words can then be put together to form sentences – which conform to a
grammatical structure in order for people to be able to understand you: “Me to
the shops must go, milk to buy” would be regarded as being a somewhat unusual
sentence structure (except to Erie Moon­Ta-Gu, who has been heard to utter
phrases such as “Me Go Now” on occa­sion). This last progression equates to sets
training – sets impose a structure on your basics, which enables you to express
yourself fluidly within the concepts of your style or art, and enables you to
prac­tise those concepts without having an instructor leaning over your shoulder
constantly.

Once you have …


KARATE TOURNAMENTS

Posted on April 8, 2021 by Jackson

Author: Vince Cullan
Over the last few months I have been discussing Karate tournaments and the
attitudes of the competitors who enter them. Having the correct attitude and the
respect for your fel­low competitor is so important when competing. An example
of this would be not sitting with your fel­low competitors whilst the category
is underway, this shows a big lack of respect for them in my book and I am glad
I have only seen this a few times, I would however prefer never to see it,
particularly if the areas are all roped off and you disappear to sit with your
family until you are called for the next round.
I am not going to list more exam­ples of bad etiquette in this months article,
instead I have decided to write a bit for the organisers of Karate.

Competitions, specifically how they set out their category lists for Kata. I am
going to be very gal­lant and speak for the younger com­petitors who have no
voice or at least not one most want to listen to (and that was a small joke for
those who didn’t realise).

On average an 8th Kyu will have less than 8 months experience in Karate and more
often than not it will only be 6 months worth, this will be
at one lesson per week with some attending two lessons. On average a 3rd kyu
brown belt will have (and this is based on gradings every 3 months) about 2
years worth of expe­rience in Karate, and when you get up to 1st Kyu you will
have anywhere from 3 – 4 years worth of training at 2 or 3 lessons per week if
you are an average brown belt, some may be going to 4 or 5 lessons a week.

When I attend tournaments it always seems strange to me that competition
organisers never seem to separate the grades in the Peewee categories in Kata
tournaments. Under 10 years of age is a very big age range and a student could
have up to 5 years worth of training behind them …


KARATE FINDS ITS FEET

Posted on April 8, 2021 by Jackson

Author: Sensei
According to Tony Pillage -the owner and founder of “The Way of Spiritual
Warrior” series of dojos – the two most neglec­ted areas of Karate are its
pragmatic and spiritual application.

This is not such a surprising statement when one considers that these key
subjects lie in probably one of the least popular areas of martial arts practice
in today’s soci­ety: pre-arranged forms or kata. Kata is an area often relegated
to nothing more than a ritual, where everyone tries hard to look serious and
punctuate move­ments with loud shouts. It is a section of the syllabus, where a
student’s sin­gle intention is to impress the teacher, grading examiner or
competition judge. The lack of genuine combative depth behind the general
practice of these movements is exemplified by the rise of musical and creative
forms and modern competitive Wu Shu.

Applications are practised in some traditional schools, but it is normally done
in a half-hearted fashion, with­out any genuine belief that the tech­niques are
going to do anything other than look good in the dojo. They are more than often
done in a compliant ritualistic manner and demonstrated against text-book
movements from the style. Yet it would appear that the tide is turning and new
luminaries in tradi­tional Karate are stepping to the fore­front of the martial
arts world, reclaiming the rich depth of the origi­nal katas and making them
exciting and accessible. Not just to Karateka, but to the open-minded martial
cross-trainer as well and, I hasten to add,
this approach is not simply another case of modernising a style, but rather
going back to the art’s roots (which really isn’t that very long ago) and
applying some common sense.

This was the mission behind the series of “Yin and Yang of Karate” seminars that
began on 29th January on a rather cold morning at the Sports Connection Leisure
Centre in Coventry. Over eighty barefoot stu­dents made their way into the hall
determined to get their circulation going before they even thought about Karate.
We didn’t have to take long and there were more than enough pieces …


KARATE’S MOST ADVANCED TECHNIQUE

Posted on April 8, 2021 by Jackson

Author: Don Lucas
Possibly nowhere else in the world are there so many seventh-, eighth-, ninth-
and lOth-degree black belts in karate—all of them authentic—as in the Ryukyu
Island chain that sweeps southeastward from Japan to China.
Here, in this long necklace of islands, of which Okinawa is the principal jewel,
modem karate was bom and refined from a Chinese foot-fighting system first
introduced 400 years ago. And a fertile seedbed for karate the islands proved to
be, with shorin-ryu, goju-ryu, uechi-ryu, Okinawa-te, Okinawan kenpo and other
systems sprouting and thriving. But even with all those arts and experts, little
is known elsewhere of Okinawan karate, which formed the basis for all modem
Japanese and Korean karate styles, as well. Even in Japan, virtually everyone
who learns the art today is training not under Oki-nawans, but under other
Japanese. And Koreans learned their karate not from Okinawans, but from Japanese
sensei.

Thus, the outside world has gained knowledge of Okinawan karate mainly through
teachers from Korea and Japan, two countries that have been aggres­sive in
exporting their styles around the world. Okinawa, on the other hand, has sent
very few of its masters abroad. (Notable exceptions include Gichin Fu-nakoshi,
who introduced karate to Japan in 1917 and thus opened the eyes of the world to
this great fighting art.)

Interestingly enough, Americans form the only non-Okinawan group today to be
studying the original karate arts of the islands directly under Okinawans on any
kind of scale. That’s because of the number of big American military bases set
up here. Ever since the end of World War II, thousands of young American
servicemen have studied Okinawan karate while stationed here, and some of the
top U.S. karate men, like Mike Stone and Joe Lewis, have been followers of the
Okinawan style.

One Okinawan who has had a lot to do with the karate training of Americans is a
still-spry 78-year-old master named Hohan Soken. The almond-eyed Soken, who
still retains a good thatch of silver-white hair, lives not far from Kadena Air
Base. Airmen studying the art here during the past …


ITF CHAMPIONSHIP

Posted on April 8, 2021 by Jackson

Author: sensei
International Taekwondo Federation of Australia was represented by six of its
members at the Eighth World Championship in Pyongyang, the capital of the
Democratic People’s Republic of Korea last month.

The World Championship held from September 10th-15th at the International
Taekwondo Palace, brought together about 700 competitors and 200 officials from
65 countries. It was the second time Australia had competed in a World
Championship as a group, the first time being at Montreal, Canada, in 1990.

Members of the 1992 Australian team included: Donna Smith, Louise Robinson,
Christine Henderson, Dennis Benedet, Nelisoni Taione and Steve EI-Sheikh.
Assistant coach was Tom Irelandes.

Official coach of the Australian team, Michael Daher, said it was an honour to
represent Australia as a nation at the Eighth World Championship in Pyongyang.
He said “it was a great pleasure to be coach of such a disciplined team,” which
proved themselves to be great ambassadors of their country.

The Australian team was up against a lot of pressure – they were representing
their country, individual expectations were high and they lacked competition
experience at an international level. But according to Michael Daher, despite
these pressures the Australian team performed exceptionally well. “Being members
of an Australian team puts you under huge pressure to do really well for your
country, for yourself and for those people left behind – if you put all that
together, each member of the team really did perform well,” he said. “It was
their dream to see the Australian flag being raised,” he added.

The Australian team did in fact see the flag being raised after Steve EI-Sheikh
received a bronze medal in the men’s middle-weight free sparring. Steve said he
felt proud to represent Australia, especially when watching the Australian flag
go up during the presentation of the medals. He said Australia’s technique in
comparison to the rest of the world was up there with the best and with that in
mind he is hoping to get gold at the 1994 World Championship in Malaysia.
Dennis Benedet also did well for Australia, receiving fifth placing in the
heavy-weight …


IN PURSUIT OF PERFECTION

Posted on April 8, 2021 by Jackson

Author: Ian Kempe
The do-jang into which I have been led is enormous. It has the air of peace and
sanctuary one feels upon entering one of those ancient stone cath~drals that can
be found in most major cities in Europe. That, however, is where the European
influ­ence ends. The style, open, uncluttered space, polished timber floors, the
unobtrusive decor, are unmistakably Oriental.

I am now standing in the centre of what is possibly the largest sin­gle martial
arts complex in Australia if not in the southern hemi­sphere!

The man I’m here to see is Grandmaster Young Ku Yun. He is of average height for
an Oriental gentleman, very quietly spoken and immaculately dressed. There is
about him, however, a respect­inspiring presence. Here stands a true
Grandmaster.

Grandmaster Yun is by no means unknown in the martial arts world, having been
involved in the arts since 1953. In 1966 he became an International Tae Kwon Do
Federation (LT.F.) instruc­tor, soon after the formation of LT.F., and travelled
to many coun­tries as an ambassador of the Federation to promote tae kwon do.

Having travelled through Hong Kong, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia
carrying his art with him, Grandmaster Yun finally introduced tae kwon do to
Australia, his new homeland, in 1971. Over the next 15 years he established
organisations in New Zealand, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Western Samoa, the Solomon
Islands and the Cook Islands.

Befire resigning from LT.F. in 1987, Grandmaster Yun had been Chairman of the
Techniques Committee (which was responsible for standardising the techniques and
teaching methods throughout the world), Chairman of the Expansion Committee, and
the Executive Director of the LT.F. Having shown me around the com­plex, the
Grandmaster explained that he had built his world headquarters in Brisbane
because, having travelled throughout the world, he had come to the conclusion
that Australia was the best country in the world, and since his family had grown
roots in Brisbane, it seemed the logical place to base his art. Also, he
explained, Brisbane was the geographical centre of his present organisation.
“Even when my organi­sation expands worldwide, I …
