Thanks for commenting Kenpo, yes I have had several articles stolen. You can detect it using Google alerts for your keywords and for your name. If their site uses Google AdSense, you can report them to Google and they will come down on them. It works. I first contact the person who “borrowed” my content and try to get them to remove it from their site. I contact Google as a last resort. Google hates spammers and content scrapers.

With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement? My website has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any methods to help stop content from being ripped off? I’d genuinely appreciate it.

Hi Bart. Yes, the tiger and dragon can be playing, or in some cases, fighting, and I have seen them forming the yin/yang symbol as well. Which style did your background include, Parker, Tracy, or other? Am always interested in comparing and contrasting them. Your tyrannical vs. impotent/inactive analogy is a good point. Power vs. wisdom–maybe a future post, as we can write a lot about it. Thanks for visiting.

Thanks for the explanation. I come from an American Kenpo background, and love to hear your take on the symbols. One thing I had an instructor point out to me was how the tiger and the dragon were intertwined, or playing. (In some illustrations the tiger and dragon actually form a yin/yang symbol). Such is the nature of power and wisdom. Too much tiger-nature and one becomes tyrannical; too much dragon-nature and one becomes impotent/inactive. Why have power if you cannot control and direct it? Why have wisdom if you cannot act upon it?

What a find your blog is! I’m clearly going to learn a lot about teaching karate to kids from you. I love the meaning of your logo – it has such a rich meaning.

Thanks for visiting my blog by the way.
