Here are some more information for Japanese Obi:
Whether you're taking karate, judo, taekwondo, or some other form of martial arts, you might feel overwhelmed when it comes to buying martial arts supplies and uniforms. There are many items you'll need to get started, but there are also many supplies you won't need right away. If you're not careful, you'll overspend and buy unnecessary items. Here are some tips on how and where to buy martial arts supplies.
Buying Martial Arts Uniforms
Karate, judo, taekwondo, jujutsu, and other types of uniforms are usually available at many martial arts schools. Unfortunately, even if your school does sell uniforms, the choices might be limited. Many schools only carry certain brand names, and often have limited sizes or styles. These styles are likely designed to meet the school's requirements, but this doesn't mean you can't shop around at other sources. If you need a special size or design because of your body's build, then feel free to shop around at local stores that sell martial arts supplies or you can shop online. There are also many choices for both men and women.
Before shopping for martial arts uniforms, know what you're looking for and what your school requires in a uniform. Know your precise size measurements to ensure comfort during training and practice. Also, become familiar with the terminology associated with martial arts. For example, the words "karategi" or "gi" are common words used for karate uniforms and are of Japanese origin. The word "judogi" means judo uniform. The word "obi" means training uniform belt. A "dobok" or "do bohk" is a uniform worn by martial arts practitioners. Knowing these terms can be useful when searching for supplies online.
Some companies will also provide martial arts embroidery, patches, crests, or badges for personalization of your uniform.
Beware of Low Quality Uniform Material
A martial arts uniform must be flexible, but also very durable because you will be moving around quite a bit. Choose material that allows you to move and breathe. Make sure the uniform has reinforced stitching and medium-to-heavy material to prevent rips during your training. You are more likely to find lower prices (but also lower quality material) at a local chain store than at a specialty shop. If you must spend less, check online martial arts stores first. Online retailers often carry quality brand names at lower prices, such as Arawaza, Tokaid, BudoNord, and others.
You can also buy used items through consignment shops, online auctions, and so forth. But again, beware of low quality items or overly used uniforms. The material might be worn or stretched if it has been used often. On the other hand, a person who took a class and quit after the first few lessons might offer you a "like-new" uniform at a very low price! Buying
Other Martial Arts Supplies
If you're just getting started with a martial arts class, only buy the basic necessities for starters. Ask your instructor to provide a list of what you'll need as a beginner. You should be able to test the waters to see if you will enjoy learning martial arts without spending a fortune. Get the necessary protective equipment as needed for certain training - you might not need it all at once. Protective gear includes head gear (with face cage), fist protectors, foot mitts, ankle braces, shin and instep guards, knee guards, male or female groin guards, armor, female chest guards, and gum protection.
Along with your uniform, you might need shoes and workout clothes including workout pants, sweatshirts, or tank tops. These items can be found online easily using keyword searches through the search engines or by visiting a website that sells martial arts supplies. Brand names such as Arawaza, Tokaido, BudoNord, and many others can often be found at one website so you can easily shop for your uniform and accessories at one place.
Shop around and gather information through online research or by asking your instructor before buying martial arts supplies. This can save you time and money as you prepare for your new sport!

HRT- Increase or Reduce the Risk of Heart Disease
Our culture has gone from ignoring the menopause to medicalizing it. Western medicines now take this normal transition as Oestrogen-deficiency disease. Many women are enthusiastic receiver of hormone replacement therapy and yet many live perfectly without it. The question here: is HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) the likely solution to healthy ageing in women? If hormone replacement therapy is a good ad vocation, need I remind us of Japanese women that have naturally low level of Oestrogen and yet they have the lowest rate for coronary diseases, low level of menopausal symptoms and one of the greatest longevity
Does taking Hormone Replacement Therapy reduce or increase the risks of heart disease in those who take it? After all, many physicians now recommend it for the prevention of Oesteoporosis (loss of bone minerals), heart disease as well as the relieve of menopausal symptoms, to lower the risk of Alzheimer’s disease (Dementia) and the cancer of the bowel.
But unfortunately, the answer to whether HRT actually reduce the risk of heart disease is not straight-forward and so it is still unproven.
There are good reasons to suggest why HRT should be beneficial in terms of heart health. Most of its formulations consists of a combination Oestrogen and Progestogen. Oestrogen is known to increase HDL-C, the good cholesterol and reduce LDL-C, the bad one resulting in lower risk of coronary disease. Moreover, it also improves blood flow through the arteries. Theoretically, Progestogen is said to have the opposite effect. The reason progestogen is being added to HRT preparation is because Oestrogen alone may increase the risk of uterine cancer. So adding Progestogen reduces this risk entirely.
Studies have actually shown a reduction in coronary heart disease risk among HRT users compared with non users. But these studies were also inconclusive and cannot be regarded as entirely reliable. Because by randomized trials, it was found that healthy women are the ones showing impressive results than women already with heart disease. In other words, HRT did not benefit women who already have evidence of heart disease.
The risks of HRT
There are three main risks associated with Oestrogen replacement therapy
Breast Cancer: This risk is real and is related to the length of time of the therapy. The risk is increased by 30 per cent after five years of taking it. Women with a history of breast or who have close relatives with the disease should see a specialist before starting on HRT. Fortunately, the risk of breast cancer disappears entirely within five years of stopping HRT even after a long time of use.
In case of uterine cancer, the risk as earlier indicated is largely removed by the addition of a Progestogen.
HRT may also increase the risk of Venous Thrombosis, but this risk is quite small, about one in every five hundred users per year.
The use of HRT in the short term to reduce menopausal symptoms may not be a problem, however long time use can be a dilemma. This is a question of balancing the risks against the benefits in your own case. So you need to have a careful discussion with your family doctor and in the end you can decide where you want to put your risks.
Hey! Remember you can always change your mind.

Can anyone name this anime?
I used to watch this Anime back in the late 90's (97, 98,) on cartoon network, around the same time they passed Sailor Moon and I cannot remember what it was called or the names of the characters. I hope by describing what I remember someone can tell me the name.
The main character was a guy with black hair, that in the back had little black pony tail (like obi one), he wore this red japanese-like outfit
There was another character who like him but she was not human, i think, she had cat ears and long greyish hair (kind of like Insuya). She was cat like and could fly and disappear.
That's all I remember, can anyone help me out?
I believe you're thinking of Tenchi Muyo.
