VANCOUVER Cheap Radim Vrbata Shirt , Mar. 25 (Xinhua) -- For nearly 30 years, Shou-Yu Liang has stood watching over his students at his martial arts school in the east side of Vancouver, which is not far from the well-known Chinatown.?


The school has become a hub in the community, standing guard over the gritty streets. Inside, Liang -- a native of Sichuan province in southwest China -- uses his 60 years of martial arts training experience to teach his students the keys to their own defense -- fitness, determination and discipline.


He's not the kind of man who likes to discuss his own achievements, but his daughter Helen Liang, who has succeeded her retired father as the president of Shou-Yu Liang Wushu Taiji Qigong Institute, knows well his effect on the community.


In a recent interview with Xinhua in the school Cheap James Reimer Shirt , Helen recalled her father's teaching life here in Vancouver and said proudly that her father's story was almost like a legend.


""You know, his stories, his background and how he established the school here and how he taught Wushu his whole life have won him a good reputation. And the students here can see how even now, in his mid-seventies, he's still doing it everyday. So it's a great role model for all of us.""


Master Liang's martial arts ancestry goes back five generations in Sichuan. He started learning Wushu at the age of five and has competed, won, coached, and judged for the rest of his life. In 1987, he opened this school in Vancouver Cheap Nick Bjugstad Shirt , where his students study and train in several Wushu disciplines, led by instructors are unpaid volunteers.


Helen said her father's whole world is this school, but his reach has extended much further. Since 1985, he has trained most of the top-ranked North American Wushu competitors, and many of his students have become instructors themselves.


""My father always says that he doesn't know anything besides martial arts, or Chinese Kong Fu. So that's his focus. And since the very beginning to now, he's never lost that passion to learn and teach.""


Over the years, Master Liang has won countless awards. He's produced videos and written 13 books about martial arts, some of these books have been translated into 13 languages. But his number one job remains his students.


Svetta Chen Cheap Connor Brickley Shirt , who has been here since she was six years old, said Wushu has taught her discipline, confidence, determination, etc. ""So really, anything I need to get done I always think off a Wushu model, and everything has been shaped by what I do here.""


Another middle-aged student Anna Tikina told Xinhua that Mr. Liang and the school has been a real inspiration for all the students.


""I have been here for about 10 years, and I brought my daughter who has been here for about two years, and my son is too young to join Cheap Jonathan Huberdeau Shirt , but we hope he'll be here soon enough.""


When Liang, now 73 with grey hare, is asked to share his greatest pride from his decades spent in this gym and countless others, he said it was his determination and persistence that came to his mind.


""I still keep. I never change my career. In China, I taught Wushu for 17 years. And here in Canada, even though I've come across many difficulties, I never give up. I know I can only succeed if I keep going and keep going,""Liang said, with a gentle smile in his face.

Your knife is the most essential item when camping. It is one of man’s oldest Cheap Aaron Ekblad Shirt , most important tools. Originally made of flint, shaped into an edge, the knife has evolved from copper, bronze, into today’s iron or steel blades. And in the fine-grained sediment of a dry riverbed, in the Afar Region of Ethiopia, left long ago by an ancient people, lay the oldest relic of a knife ever discovered – dated to be 2.6 million years old. Fashioned from volcanic rock, knives have now evolved into the device that is today. Knives were used for hunting Cheap Keith Yandle Shirt , building shelters, providing and preparing food, and in general, survival. Knapping was a method they used in the old times in making sharp bladed devices. It is the shaping of the tool through the process of lithic reduction. Obsidian, an extrusive igneous rock, were used to make some of the oldest knives.


A knife functioned as a device for weaponry, consumption and hunting. During the 15th century, those who were not permitted to carry firearms, store their knives in a scabbard on their belts. They used their knives for eating. Knives were made into sets composed of three – one big knife for hunting Cheap Roberto Luongo Shirt , two small ones for peeling or cutting. These were stored in one scabbard. The use of knives as a hunting tool, diminished as they progressed more as an eating device besides the spoon and fork.


Almost 10,000 years have gone by, that knives were formed out of wood, bone, stone, flint or shell. By this time, copper was found and was used as the main material in making knives. In as little as 5,000 years ago Cheap Jaromir Jagr Shirt , steel replaced copper. Knives today have evolved into ceramic, carbon fiber or titanium as a result of advancing technology.


The business for collecting knives has grown enormously, with collectors seeking to find the exceptional ones. And there are many specialized categories to choose from – hunting, military, camping, multi-purpose, sports, hunting and fishing or pocketknives. Auction sites are a great source for tracking down rare and exotic pieces.


To keep your knives in the best possible working condition, store separately in leather sheaths to prevent rusting Cheap Evgenii Dadonov Shirt , keep clean and free of debris, and an occasional drop of oil on the joints of a folding knife will keep the action smooth in opening and closing. “Walks and Talks well”, that is what the elders used to say about when your knife can still click.
