Mo Woye Fat Kung Fu is a Martial art and the creation of Christopher Gerlitz. Mo Woye Fat Kung Fu utilizes many of the methods of traditional Martial arts while incorporating many western fighting style techniques.
Technique
Hands
Hand movements are generally utilized for close range confined situations. These techniques often use an opponent's energy or force against them, enabling more speed and energy to be directed into a counter or attack. General hand movements and punches are executed while keeping the muscles relaxed to ensure the fastest speed possible. The muscle strength is only utilized during the last instance, just before contacting or striking an opponent.
Feet and kicks
Foot placement is non-stationary and comparable to many western sport stances such as tennis or boxing. Feet are usually positioned with the lead foot pointed directly toward the opponent and the rear foot at a 45 degree angle.
Kicks are typically used for long range attacks or "stop hitting". While the majority are long range, there are instances of a Crescent kick being used to strike an opponent to the head at close range.

The Nokia 6260 is the first clamshell smartphone from Nokia. It uses the Series 60 user-interface and the Symbian operating system. The screen rotates on two axes allowing different modes of usage of both the camera and the phone itself, making it unique to other smartphones released at the same time as the Nokia 6260. Other unique features are a built in radio and the ability to 'hotswap' the memory card(RS-MMC) - that is to change it without turning the unit off.
The Nokia 6260 was specified to play MP3s, although the quality is poor (mono sound and no bass). This is not true of the radio quality as this uses a different chip to process the audio.
The processor found in the Nokia 6260 is capable of handling advanced software such as movie players and PC games of recent history such as Doom.
The phone features industry-standard Bluetooth and IrDA connectivity, along with Nokia's proprietary 'Pop-port' for USB and audio connections. The camera is only VGA resolution (640 x 480) but has reasonably good colour reproduction. The memory card slot can accept an RS-MMC card.

Sometimes a seafarer needs to improvise when heaving (lifting and moving) cargo. On some occasions a pre-built, permanent derrick can not be used. A seaman can then switch to sheers or gyns (bi-pod and tripod lifing rigs that consist of wooden or steel spars held together by ropes and pulleys called rigs). Teak, oak, elm, ash and beech are the preferred woods for spars.
The topping lift or back guy must not have an angle less than 45°. The best choice of the angle is between 60° and 90°. The legs of the sheers can be further supported by lashing or bolting timbers (fishing). The base of the legs, called heels, are fixed in position by attaching ropes and pulley (tackle) called strops. Attached to the legs just below the strops are rope collars to prevent the strops from slipping; another choice is thumb pieces. To bring out the best handling, the length between the heels should be the same length as the spars. The splay tackles hold the spars a fixed distance apart at the heel. This distance should be one-third of the effective length of the spars for sheers and one-half of the effective length for a gyn. The tackle should be attached as low as possible to provide a minimum of bending-stresses on the spars. The heels of the spars can be set on pieces of wood called shoes to spread the pressure on a wider surface. The shoes consist of two orthogonal layers of 75mm² timber and can be notched to prevent the spars from sliding off. Alternately, wet sand bags can be attached to the heel of the spars to prevent the spars from skidding. Extra heel tackles, which are unnecessary for gyns because the splay tackles already maintain rigidity, can be added to hold the heels and to give multi-directional support.
Sheerlegs
Sheerlegs (also written shearlegs) are a hoisting apparatus with two wooden legs. The two legs are tied together with a fourteen-round-turned timber hitch at the top and spread apart at the bottom. A pulley is suspended from the apex. Six frapping turns are then made through the crutch, as in a seizing, and finally a clove hitch is made around the other spar. Splay tackle attached to the bottom of the legs hold the sheerlegs a fixed distance apart. Heel tackles attached to the bottom of the legs hold the sheerlegs in fixed position. The sheers can be erected when the topping lift or back guy and martingale are rigged. The cargo should not be swung out of the vertical; it may cause a slipping from the shoes. If the deck happens to have a slick surface, the sheerlegs can be secured with additional two forward and back guys on each leg. In this case the sheers are set 20° to toward the load. To land the load, the sheers switch to 40° in the opposite direction. The process can be repeated when the heal tackles are heaved on. The swinging-through process is comparable to a Stülcken derrick.
Gyn
The gyn has three legs and provides more stability than the sheerlegs. Two legs, called cheeks, are bound together as with the sheerlegs described above. The third spar is called the prypole and is fixed under the cheeks. Only four pulleys are required; three as splay tackles and the fourth one as lifting purchase. A timber hitch of six figure-of-eight turns and a finishing clove hitch lash the crutch but not too tightly because the cheeks need some room to spread their heels. The cheeks of the gyn are now ready to spread and to be erected, the cheek splay tackle is hauled tight and then the other adjacent splay tackles can be lashed. At the sides, the gyn is unstable and it is crucial that the cargo is not swung out of the base triangle; consequently the gyn is only for lifting cargo vertically.

Hoteikan is an American, hybrid martial art that incorporates Shotokan Karate, Sosuishi Ryu jujutsu, and Judo. The name translates into the "House of Hotei". Hotei is one of the seven gods of prosperity, otherwise known as the "Laughing Buddha".
History
The Hoteikan came into existence officially in 1974 in the Bronx area of New York City through the collaboration of Emilio Claudio and Robert Hasman. Together they pooled their knowledge of the martial arts in order to form what they believed to be a more rounded system.
The Dojo Kun (Creed)
The Dojo Kun (creed or pledge) is recited at the conclusion of the martial arts class, allowing the students to reflect upon the guiding principles of Hoteikan.
We strive for perfection.
We seek mental discipline.
We seek physical well-being.
We are humble in victory,
and gracious in defeat.
To earn respect,
and learn the way of Hoteikan.
