How to Stay Safe When Snorkeling

- by John Katu

Snorkeling can be an amazing activity for you on your family vacation or even close to home. While it does not provide the freedom of scuba diving, it does still allow you to explore underwater worlds and ecosystems that you may never have had a chance to see. You will be able to view sea creatures in a way that normal swimming would not allow you to do. And, even though it doesn’t afford you the same freedom, it is a great deal safer than scuba diving. You do not need extensive training to snorkel and stay safe, you just need the right equipment.

Most people think that the only necessary equipment for a snorkeler is your mask and some fins. This is not necessarily true. While a vest is not mandatory, it should be considered very seriously when you head out into the water. If you are going to be in the water for an extended time, a vest will help you float in the water. Most vests come with a small tube attached to the side of the vest.

This allows the snorkeler to inflate the vest while they are in the water, offering them more buoyancy, or deflate the vest so they can get closer to an item. There are a lot of hazardous items below the surface (such as coral), having the ability to float away from them quickly will help keep you safe. Besides, if you are wearing something such as a best, covering some …

Guide to Tennis Rackets

- by John Katu

Tennis can be an exciting sport for people of every age group. There is little or no equipment necessary to play tennis, but what there is certainly, is extremely important. When you begin to try out or learn tennis, you need a place to learn and employ. Many schools have tennis courts that you just will be able to use when school isn’t in session. You can also find courts at local parks, private clubs, and sometimes community centers. Sometimes usage of these courts will be free, while maybe they will often charge a small fee. Once you have found a location to try out, you will want comfortable clothing and running sneakers (or sneakers), a tennis ball, and most importantly, a tennis racket.

Your tennis racket consists of two parts: the handle or grip along with the racket itself. When choosing a racket, the grip is the central thing to keep in mind. The wrong grip on your tennis racket can cause blistering and discomfort, it may also affect your game by requiring more energy inside your swing. To select the correct racket, you should first measure your grip. This is done by measuring through the middle of one’s palm, towards the tip of the ring finger. Typical sizes are four inches for the children, four-plus an eighth to four and three-eighths inches for females and four and a half to hour and 3 / 4 inches for males. This measurement will coincide with the measurement across the handle …

My Perspective on Being Overweight and Overage in Taekwondo Training

- by John Katu

I have recently trained in the Korean martial arts, and to be frank, it appears that my training appears to be completely fruitless – and it is not because I am unwilling to learn taekwondo, but rather It’s due to two important factors which have placed me on a handicap: being overage and being overweight. As much as I have untapped potential which can be used to serve a larger community, sadly these two factors are bringing me down like a prisoner carrying his heavy burden all day and night.

Being Overage

At the not-so-young age of 31 years old, paying attention to details is very different when I was just sitting in the classroom. It is a sign that I am getting older, and thus it is more difficult for me to learn the sport. Watching children learn the basics of taekwondo feels refreshing, but at the same time, it reminded me of my inferiority as I was then wearing eyeglasses. I started wearing them at around 6 or 7 years old, as I have inherited my nearsightedness from my parents. Being bespectacled for close to twenty years is a curse and a hindrance to my physical training and development, as I never had the chance to participate in sports. Most of the time, my classmates in elementary school would oftentimes exclude me from playing because of my handicap. I can understand their concern, but at the same time, it also amounts to contempt, because it only shows that …

The New Springboard – Africa

- by John Katu

For the past handful of decades it has been alleged that in case you put ten Africans within a race, the fastest American would take position eleven. And so it has been the case for the other sports arenas for instance boxing; tennis; golf – sorry, soccer. A single would also appropriately argue that the former boxing globe champions Mohamed Ali and Mike Tyson as American citizens but of African descend. The same brush may also be used to paint Serena Williams and Tiger Woods for the Tennis and Golf sports respectively. So what about Africa?

To the majority of the outside world, Africa is a poor continent with enough population that is either susceptible candidates or already graduates of the American Idea of Discouraging Sex – sorry – AIDS. By inches, with the like of Swaziland’s King Mswati’s 13th wife’s infidelity, yes, this is possible. Also remember that majority of riffraff’s overhear suffer life elimination via hunger, kwashiorkor, malaria, elephantiasis of the scrotum, and septic wounds – diseases that understand clearly that they belong to the “socially excluded” (the latest euphemism for the poor). But the rich exit in style, through posh-sounding diseases, the affluent diseases – always to do with heart and related to overconsumption of meat and alcohol and stress. Yes, Alcohol. Alcoholism is another African way of dissolving problems.

The continent also produces sensational soccer players such as Didier Drogba (Chelsea) and MacDonald Mariga (inter-Milan) who have made the European leagues the current cash cows of …
