Look for an upcoming article which expands on the (hotly debated) RESTful compliance. In a previous post, we saw how to create a minimal ASP.NET WebApi project template, so that we can avoid some of the bloat and complexity inherent in the standard VS WebApi project.
What is Shorinji Kempo? Shorinji Kempo is a martial art for self defence and training both the mind and the body. Its teachings include a complete range of defence techniques that range from punches and kicks to throws and locks, a form of shiatsu massage [seiho], seated meditation and philosophy.
The art of Matsubayashi-Ryu was founded in 1947 by Osensei Shoshin Nagamine (1907--1997). Matsubayashi-Ryu is a form of Shorin-Ryu, which in turn is one of the major styles of Okinawan Karate-Do. Matsubayashi is the Okinawan/Japanese pronunciation of the ideograms for Pine Forest. Matsu means pine and Hayashi means forest. When the two words are put together, the H of Hayashi is pronounced as B, hence Matsubayashi. Shorin is the Chinese pronunciation of the same ideograms. The origin of this name is the Shaolin Temple in China. Ryu translates as style or system. Literally, it means river, which conveys the image that an art is a living, flowing thing.
