In the Karate Kid, the master has the student sand down his deck. The student wants to know what that has to do with Karate. The master will not tell him. It is a trust issue and a measure of the willingness to take instruction. Also a test of how determined the student is. If the student is not serious, he would walk away from a seemingly pointless task that was hard work for no obvious reward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">In this clip, Master Roshi tells the Goku and Crillen they are going out to train. He then takes them to the local milk dealer. Goku thinks they are going to drink milk, then train. Instead, Master Roshi tells the milk dealer that the boys will deliver the milk. On foot instead of with the milk dealers helicopter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The boys don\u2019t understand and Crillen complains being Crillen. In addition to delivering the milk, Master Roshi makes the training more challenging by having them skip part of the way, run thru trees part of the way, and climb mountains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Each one of those exercises can be copied by a person in real life. The person will become stronger with more stamina and a stronger ground. The cartoon Dragonball Z does contain ideas that can be used in real life kung fu.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><div style=\"width: 352px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-1418-1\" width=\"352\" height=\"272\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"http:\/\/www.happehtheory.com\/HappehKungFu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Dragonball_Episode_17-TrainingMP4.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.happehtheory.com\/HappehKungFu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Dragonball_Episode_17-TrainingMP4.mp4\">http:\/\/www.happehtheory.com\/HappehKungFu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Dragonball_Episode_17-TrainingMP4.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">When you watch the exercises, pay attention to the position of Master Roshi\u2019s hands. If you decide to copy the exercise in real life, put your hands in the same place Master Roshi\u2019s are. They are there for a reason. It is not an accident.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">You might also pay attention to how Crillen and Goku perform. Goku is the hero of the series while Crillen is a less strong secondary character. The creators of the series do not have this happen out of nothing. In these training sessions with Master Roshi, Goku is a model student. He does everything he is told, he smiles and laughs and is good natured and he does the exercises exactly like Master Roshi demonstrates. Crillen complains, tries to cheat on the exercises or executes the exercises poorly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">This video shows Master Roshi taking the boys over a narrow log, walking thru sand and wading thru water. Again, pay attention to the position of Master Roshi\u2019s arms if you copy these exercises in real life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><div style=\"width: 352px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-1418-2\" width=\"352\" height=\"272\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"http:\/\/www.happehtheory.com\/HappehKungFu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Dragonball_Episode_17-MoreTrainingMP4.mp4?_=2\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.happehtheory.com\/HappehKungFu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Dragonball_Episode_17-MoreTrainingMP4.mp4\">http:\/\/www.happehtheory.com\/HappehKungFu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Dragonball_Episode_17-MoreTrainingMP4.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">This video is a philosophical pep talk. Master Roshi tells them they enter a tournament not to win, but to improve their skills. It is to show humility but also to save feelings if a person does not win.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><div style=\"width: 352px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-1418-3\" width=\"352\" height=\"272\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"http:\/\/www.happehtheory.com\/HappehKungFu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Dragonball_Episode_17-ImproveSkillsMP4.mp4?_=3\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.happehtheory.com\/HappehKungFu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Dragonball_Episode_17-ImproveSkillsMP4.mp4\">http:\/\/www.happehtheory.com\/HappehKungFu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Dragonball_Episode_17-ImproveSkillsMP4.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This series of blog entries highlights various scenes in episodes of the Japanese Anime \u201cDragonball\u201d that are related to or teach something related to either Yin Yang Theory or real Kung Fu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1424,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1418","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dragonball-and-real-kung-fu"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.happehtheory.com\/HappehKungFu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1418","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.happehtheory.com\/HappehKungFu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.happehtheory.com\/HappehKungFu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.happehtheory.com\/HappehKungFu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.happehtheory.com\/HappehKungFu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1418"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/www.happehtheory.com\/HappehKungFu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1418\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1511,"href":"http:\/\/www.happehtheory.com\/HappehKungFu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1418\/revisions\/1511"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.happehtheory.com\/HappehKungFu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.happehtheory.com\/HappehKungFu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1418"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.happehtheory.com\/HappehKungFu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1418"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.happehtheory.com\/HappehKungFu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1418"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
