The Shed Song??? - are you writing one Jim? can you send me a demo?

Atavachron -

Kateda is a form of self-defence developed by Tibetan monks, there are 21 steps including kicks and punches, no katas, the training concentrates on "central power" defence, meaning the defence comes from within, at a high level of training one's body can absorb kicks and punches without injury, one test which was done by the masters was to be surrounded by up to 5 fellow students and they would drive punches into their body simultaneously with only central power for protection, and i don't remember anybody ever getting hurt, even the girls had this test, but not the following one - this test we had to learn was having half a brick (split along its length) whacked against your bare stomach to test your central power, making the brick break. I got to be quite good at this and "performed" at public demos around London. I don't know if or where Kateda is being practised today, as I was doing it in the 80's. I got to black belt but lacked the commitment to continue, it got very much more involved, starting classes etc.

My favourite martial art is Bacondo. It is performed with a large frying pan and some nice bread and ketchup. Not sure of the health benefits 'though.

When people get lost in thought it's often because it's unfamiliar territory.

I reckon between us we could come up with a concept album about sheds.
Tales From Topographic Sheds?
The Shed Lies Down On Broadway?

Atavachron -

That's fascinating, Fred, thank you...always looking to expand my knowledge. I love the focus you describe on 'central power' and absorbing punishment instead (in shed) of just learning fighting techniques.

Don't tell me you guys have never heard of the Grateful Shed...San Francisco's last hippie house. It's across the street from the Grateful Bed (a motel) and a pharmacy called the Grateful Med.

Not to forget the original shed song, by the Beatles - Shed!

"Shed!
I need my mower -
Shed!
Not just any strimmer -
Shed!
Oh Sh+t I lost the key -
Sheeeeed..."

They don't write songs like that any more (although Marillion tried, with "Three sheds down from the Candy")
