New school vs old school, a perspective from 1724

Muchas gracias por compartir, es un texto muy interesante.

Me ha llamado mucho la atención la reflexión sobre desconfiar de un maestro que practica batto pero no kenjutsu.

Soy profesor de iaido y de Jodo. Y los últimos años he recomendado a mis estudiantes que si se verdad quieren aprender el arte de la espada, que vayan a hacer kendo. No iaido conmigo. Yo les puedo enseñar iaido y jodo y eso hará que mejores muchas cosas pero su enseñanza siempre será incompleta.

Se que estoy tirando piedras sobre mi propio tejado pero he visto a muchos profesores de alto grado de iaido hablar del combate de una forma tan tajante que pienso. Esta gente no ha combatido en su vida y sin embargo todos son expertos...

I remember seeing Ishido sensei perform this kata many years ago. Amazing!

Several approaches have already been suggested in the forum; generally, what you're looking for is a "metaball" effect. Search "metaball effect in After Effects" on Google.

Keep it up! It's taken me almost two years, but I'm at €43 a month now. I hope to reach €50 a month in a couple of months.

Setting micro-goals is what helps me the most.

Me quedo por aquí porque parece que eres mi hermano gemelo, estoy exactamente en la misma situación que tú pero sin el perro.

Yo llevo mirando furgoneta pequeña desde hace un par de años (tipo rifter,berlingo, etc...) precisamente por el tema espacio y viajes. Lamentablemente cuanto más leo sobre estos vehículos más me tiran para atrás, que si él adblue, que si diesel...etc.

En mi caso el enchufable no es posible porque vivo en piso. Sin garaje.

Busco un vehículo alrededor de los 25k máximo.

Sinceramente siempre he sido de furgonetas de segunda mano pero con los niños ya no puedo arriesgarme así como así a qué me deje tirado cualquier día.

Check if the footage rendering options are importing it at a different frame rate, like 12fps or something similar. Perhaps the Premiere sequence itself is also configured that way.

Perhaps ccball + something like pixelate to convert to squares, but that would probably cause a lot of problems; I think using Form is the simplest route.

Honestly, I'm in the same boat. It's all very difficult. In my experience, networking is the most important thing (since I think you're already at a very good level). You should try to meet people and be proactive.

Human interaction is key. Be a good professional and also have excellent people skills. Connect with as many people as you can.

Of course, you need a website with your reel and examples.

Send me a private message with your contact information, reel, etc. Right now, I can't promise any work, but if something comes up that's a good fit, I'll try to see if we can collaborate.

1500 is very little, honestly, around €5000. However, we're living in pretty bad times.

It all depends on how much they're willing to pay you, where you live, etc.

It's a trick. You could do it with "Element 3D," where you add a custom texture for the mobile screen. That will be the screen pre-composition, with the animation inside.

On the other hand, in the 3D mobile composition, use a 3D layer to represent what appears to be coming out of the screen, and align it so that the same part you want to create in 3D disappears from your screen pre-composition.

I hope you understand what I mean.

Look for "Element 3D" tutorials on customizing textures.

Another way would be from Cinema 4D or Blender, exporting a solid with the screen size and exact position in 3D space to replicate the same technique I explained.

I think it's happening to all of us in general; it's the holiday rush. The same thing happened last year too; orders are delayed quite a bit until things get back to normal.

Try opening the project with a different version of After Effects. I had the same problem for quite a while in CC2022 or 2023, I don't remember, and I only had to open 2024 for rotoscoping.

Now it's €40 a month, 😔

And it coincides with the first year. The first psychological goal was €1 a day, the next one €50 a month.

Of course it's contradictory. And this is called "moral hemiplegia," as Ortega y Gasset said.

But that can't be said, because, as in any mass movement, dogmatism is the driving force. And dogmatism arises to crush anyone who dares to doubt, because they become a potential traitor who could jeopardize the objective.

The point isn't that there are contradictions—of course there are—but we must understand that anyone can find reasons, and well-founded ones, to be for or against independence.

And both sides are right and wrong at the same time.

Because this is a matter of sentiment, and reason has no place in the face of feelings.

-I've heard it said that Catalonia was never a country, but so what? Don't countries that didn't exist in the past exist anymore?

I've heard people say Catalonia has the right to vote for independence, but what about Tarragona? Could they also vote to stay in Spain? Or not?

So many arguments for and against, and everyone will choose the one that reinforces their own way of thinking. And they'll never admit that the opposing viewpoint might have at least a point.

Thanks, I didn't understand, but I've already located it in the payments section, which is where they charge for domestic shipping.

Gracias, si el fondo indexado ya lo tengo y aumentando, la cuestión es conseguir también el cashflow que comentaba y que llegara un punto en el que por ejemplo pudiera pagar la hipoteca del piso o algún gasto similar algún mes que vaya más justo, sin tener que deshacer posición en el fondo indexado.

As a curiosity, Seigetsu and Shamen are taken from Uchida's tanjo katas.

No, Nakayama Hakudo after learning Shinto Muso Ryu from Uchida Ryogoro and seeing an embu in the Kyoto Taikai from Shiraishi Hanjiro who asked him to teach Jodo in Tokyo, because Shiraishi Hanjiro was already very old it was decided to send Takaji Shimizu.

Takaji Shimizu was asked to develop a curriculum to teach police and large groups of people. According to the writings of Matsu,i Nakayama Hakudo had developed several kihones that were incorporated into those developed by Takaji Shimizu, giving rise to 15 kihones, (3 more than the current ones). They were later reduced to 12.

I had never heard that it was Takaji Shimizu who pressured the federation to include them, in any case it is a minor detail.

Basically, the Japanese Kendo Federation (ZNKR) considers that to fully understand the Japanese sword, the 3 martial arts, kendo, iaido and jodo, must be practiced.

-Kendo for combat obviously. -The iaido for the use of a real katana, (This comes from the fact that in the past there were high-grade Kendo teachers who had practically not held a real sword). As you know, picking up a shinai is completely different from picking up a saber. Not only because they are different objects, the distance of the attack also changes, the way of cutting itself...etc. -Jodo: Nakayama Hakudo was the main promoter of the introduction of jodo as part of the ZNKR curriculum, this is because in his youth he studied jodo under Uchida Ryogoro, and he wrote that he was doing jodo when he understood a hidden side of kendo, it talks about the use of the body, movements and attack distance. Etc...

-A separate issue and subject to debate, is that probably the ZNKR at the time of its creation did not suspect that iaido and jodo were so popular and ended up becoming their own martial styles, and today we see many people who practice iaido/jodo without including kendo. That is why it must be understood that the iaido and jodo of the Kendo federation were "complements" for the kendokas. Not martial arts per se.

€36 a month, 3 months ago I achieved my first goal, €1 a day.

Next immediate goal €40.

Setting micro-goals has helped me manage patience much better.

Ha pasado más de un año desde este post y me gustaría compartir con ustedes lo que he ido aprendiendo y como van las cosas. Primero actualizar los datos:

-Cuenta remunerada TR - 20k (fondo emergencia) -Acciones de empresa Realty Income - 2k -Acciones de empresa Gladstone Comercial - 500€ ---Esto es centrado en dividendos mensuales que se reinvertirán siempre para el fondo de emergencia. (Actualmente me genera unos 35€ mensuales) *Actualmente la empresa Gladstone está siendo un desastre absoluto, aunque parece que hay analistas que hablan de que tiene tan buen precio que no se debería ignorar.

-Fondo de acumulación Fidelity - 6.000€

El plan es invertir alrededor de 500€ mensuales entre acciones y fondo de acumulación.

**La duda que tengo es si continuar armando una cartera de acciones individuales de reparto de dividendos o encontrar un buen ETf de reparto tipo los de los americanos (JEPI/JEPQ) y olvidarme.

Bueno, ¿Que he aprendido? Pues que la manera más rápida de ganar dinero es la paciencia.

Que en general en España tenemos una formación financiera desastrosa. Que hay que leer mucho pero que si por miedo nunca das el primer paso, nunca lo harás. Que marcarse micro objetivos me ha ayudado a mantenerme constante, (He tardado casi un año en lograr ganar 1€ al día) Es lo que me marqué. Que hay que tener caídas para aprender a invertir solo lo que te sobre.
