Broome’s lifestyle is rather laid back and is reflected in the residents easy nature. Due to the previous history of Pearling which goes back decades and decades the main population consists of a mix Asian and old colony influences, which creates a great cosmopolitan feel to the town.

Broome is an important port for the Pearl Industry but Broome tourism has taken over due to spectacular beachside resorts such as the “Cable Beach Club” at the famous “Cable Beach”.

There are many attractions to Broome ranging from the 80 year old open air Sun Pictures Cinema, the Japanese cemetery, Broome Bird Observatory on Roebuck Bay, Gantheaume Points dinosaur footprints and the Chinatown area.

History of Broome Western Australia

Broome is situated on the traditional lands of the Yawuru people.

The first European to visit Broome was William Dampier in 1688 and again in 1699. Many of the coastal features of the area are named by him. In 1879, Charles Harper suggested that the pearling industry could be served by a port closer to the pearling grounds and that Roebuck Bay would be suitable. In 1883, John Forrest selected the site for the town, and it was named after Sir Frederick Broome, the Governor of Western Australia from 1883 to 1889.

In 1ᘹ, a telegraph undersea cable was laid from Broome to Singapore, connecting to England. Hence the name Cable Beach given to the landfall site.

The town has an interesting history based around the exploits of the men and women who developed the pearling industry, starting with the harvesting of oysters for mother of pearl in the 1880s to the current major cultured pearl farming enterprises. The riches from the pearl beds did not come cheap, and the town’s Japanese cemetery is the resting place of 919 Japanese divers who lost their lives working in the industry.

Many more were lost at sea, and the exact number of deaths is unknown. The Japanese were only one of the major ethnic groups who flocked to Broome to work on the luggers or the shore based activities supporting the harvesting of oysters from the waters around Broome. They were specialist divers and, despite being considered enemies, became an indispensable part of the industry until World War II.

Broome was attacked by Japanese aircraft on 3 March񎦖. The air raid killed at least 88 people.

The West Australian mining boom of the 1960s, as well as the growth of the tourism industry, also helped Broome develop and diversify. Broome is one of the fastest growing towns in Australia.

At Gantheaume Point and 30 metres out to sea are dinosaur footprints believed to be from the Cretaceous Age approximately 130 million years ago. The tracks can be seen only during very low tide.

Broome entered into a Sister City agreement with Taiji, Japan in 1981 as historic ties between the two towns date back to the early 1900s, when Japan became instrumental in laying the groundwork of Broome’s pearling industry. The annual dolphin hunting in Taiji was the subject of the 2009 documentary The Cove, and sparked a unanimous decision by the town’s council, headed by Graeme Campbell, to end the relationship with the town if the dolphin hunt were to continue. The decision on suspension was reversed in October 2009.

The 10% rule
Whether or not you’re looking to do some serious training with the weight vest, or simply just want to wear it round the house to burn off a few more calories, it’s best to start with small weights and work your way up.

The rule of thumb is to start with approximately 10% of your body weight in the weight vest and work it upwards gradually. If you’re doing something high impact like running, we’d even go as low as 5%. If your joints aren’t conditioned to running with a heavier load, it’s best to let them get used to the extra weight gradually.

If you’re a beginner to intermediate athlete, we wouldn’t suggest you use more than 20% of your own body weight when working out as too much weight on your joints can wear them out fast.

Working out with a weight vest is intense, so if you’re not used to it, play it safe and don’t risk injury.

So, get a weight vest that you can change the weight of and covers 10%-20% of your body weight. E.g. if you’re a 200 pound man, get one that goes from 20 pounds up to 40 pounds. Most modern weight vests allow you to remove weights from them to make them lighter or add more to increase the load.

It’s got to fit well
A weight vest should fit well and hold the weights as close to your core as it can. A weight vest that is too loose can allow the weights to swing around. This is going to affect your balance when you’re working out, or even if you’re just walking. At worst it’ll swing around and might actually hit you in the face (It’s happened to me before with cheap weight vests!).

Equally it’s can’t be too tight, as it will restrict your breathing. Extra weight on your chest and core is going to make breathing marginally harder anyway, simply because of the extra weight on the ribcage, so you don’t want to make it even harder for yourself by adding something that is too tight and stifling.

Plan Out Your Training
Decide what sorts of exercises you’re going to use it for. Having an idea of what exercises you’re going to do will also help you figure out what sort of weight vest will best suit your needs. You have to make sure that the weight vest is not going to impede the movements of your exercises.

Some weight vests have shoulder straps that are fairly wide, this will limit your range of motion in overhead arm movements, especially if you have heavy weights on. Obviously if you’re rock climbing this is bad news, but this is probably ok if you’re doing body conditioning drills like situps, pressups, burpees and so on.

Make Sure It’s Easy To Clean
A regularly used weight vest is going to get dirty. Sooner or later it’s going to start whiffing so make sure that it’s one that you can clean. Although it may seem obvious, there are many weight vests out there that aren’t easily cleaned, you can’t just take the weights out and launder it.

People take different amounts of time to breathe in and out, so giving them a set pattern will make them hold their breath. A posture that takes longer than their normal breath will probably result in the student finishing their breath by the time they are 2/3 of the way through the posture. They will hold their breath for the rest of it.

Breath holding will cause tension in the body, and tension is our enemy. One of the Taiji goals is to relax and let go of tension, not create more in the body. Holding your breath for long periods of time whilst practicing form is also not good for the body. The body will remember the breath holding and out of habit it will make you do this in your everyday life, and that will only make you even more tense.

Taiji has no fixed breathing pattern because the body’s internal can vary tremendously from day to day, depending on your general state of health, your emotional balance or how fatigued you are.

One day breathing may be easy, the next it could struggle. You have little conscious control over this, because this regulation is done by your body. It does what it needs to keep you going.

Taiji has no fixed breathing pattern because the body’s internal can vary tremendously from day to day, depending on your general state of health, your emotional balance or how fatigued you are. One day breathing may be easy, the next it could struggle. You have little conscious control over this, because this regulation is done by your body. It does what it needs to keep you going. So, there are many benefits to letting the body do the breathing during the practice of Taijiquan form.

This way, whatever state you’re in, your body will automatically coordinate the breathing with the movement

Practice breathing with simple movements. Walking is a good movement to use. Your body will gradually get the idea, and it will start to coordinate your breathing with your movement. Once you get it, it will just happen without you having to consciously intervene, just like riding a bicycle.

Practice breathing with very natural movements, such as walking and eventually your body will get the idea, so that when you do start doing Taiji form, your body will automatically breathe to the movement, you won’t have to try to “fit” your breathing to the form.

Your body will get the idea of coordinating movement with breathing and it will automatically start do regulate your breathing during your form practice.

If you do this often enough, your body will get the idea of coordinating movement with breathing and it will automatically start do regulate your breathing during your form practice.

Tai chi is an ancient martial art and healing art form originating in China with strong roots in the Chinese Taoism. The actual origin of Tai Chi stems back to times that are now shrouded by legend. The early practitioners of Taoism understood that all life and other matter in the universe consists of energy and this was born out by modern physics when Einstein proved that energy and matter is the same thing. The Chinese call this energy Chi. Other cultures call this energy Ki or Prana and it is a concept that is widely used in martial arts or the healing arts.

For the Chi in the human body to remain healthy, it needs to constantly be moving. Stagnant Chi or blocked Chi leads to illness and disease, an idea that is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine such as acupuncture. Tai Chi was developed to promote the movement of Chi throughout the human body.

Today five main schools or styles of Tai Chi are practised all around the world. These styles are the Chen, Yang, Wu Yu Chian, Wu Jian and Sun.

The Chen style of Tai Chi is now understood to form the basis of all modern Tai Chi styles and it was developed by a family with the name Chen. They lived close to a Shaolin temple and were already known for their skill in martial arts, but began to focus on internalising their training to develop the flow of Chi. The family still travel the world, demonstrating their skill level in this form of Tai Chi.

Another Shaolin Kung Fu martial artist, Yang Lu Chan undertook his Tai Chi training directly from the Chen family, overcoming a number of obstacles in order to do so. He studied the Chen style for many years and passed his skill down to his two surviving sons and his grandson. It was his grandson, Yang Cheng Fu who developed the Yang style that is the most popular form of Tai Chi in the world.

Both the Yang and the Chen styles of Tai Chi influenced the development of the Wu Yu Xian style as its founder who was Wu Yu Xian originally trained with Yang Lu Chan an d later Chen Quing Ping. After a number of years of training he developed his own style, using elements from both of his masters. This form of Tai Chi is not widely practiced outside of China.

In the early part of the 20th Century, after the dynasties had fallen, the Wu Jian style became popular in China when it was promoted by the secretary general of the martial arts association, who had been bettered during a training bout by Yang Chen Fu. It was a form that was developed to accommodate the restrictive movements of the long flowing robes of the Manchurian dynasty. Today it is second in popularity across the globe only to the Yang style.

The last of the five major Tai Chi styles is he Sun style. Like the other four styles it is named after the family that developed it, namely Sun Lu Tang. It is the newest of all the styles and grew from Sun s training in a number of martial arts and the Wu Yu Xian style of Tai Chi. When Sun died, his daughter continued to teach the form in the same way that her father taught her.

Tai Chi for beginners entails an understanding of the interconnection of the energies of body, mind and spirit. In traditional Chinese medicine such as acupuncture and shiatsu, our bodies are lined with energy channels or meridians. When these energy points running from the tips of our fingers to our internal organs to the tips of our toes get blocked, all sorts of illnesses begin to develop. The movements in Tai Chi do not only free up blocked energies but also enable a practitioner to understand himself or herself and the emotional and physical connections within his body. Through the regular practice of the movements, Tai Chi produces inner strength, mental clarity and some say, even spiritual enlightenment.

If you want to get started with this technique to improve your overall physical and emotional health, here are some Tai Chi for beginners tips that you might find helpful:

1. Look for a qualified Tai Chi teacher. Ask around to get recommendations.

2. If you want to practice Tai Chi on your own, buy an instructional video, manual or book on the subject. Read through or watch the whole thing first, paying particular attention to form and details before actually practicing it. Without a Tai Chi instructor, you have to be particularly vigilant about breathing and moving techniques.

3. Get a friend to practice with you. Having a support system will make it easier to stick to your regimen.

4. If you want to get the full benefits of Tai Chi, there are three things you must do: Practice, practice and practice.

5. If possible, use Tai Chi shoes. These are soft-soled footwear that make your feet feel the energy of the earth. The rationale is that the energy from the earth will also revitalize your body.

6. Be continually aware about how you move in your daily tasks. Mind your posture. You will eventually learn to incorporate the smooth and flowing movements of Tai Chi into how you walk, run, lift objects, and even in your stance as you wash dishes or iron your clothes.

7. Always feel a connection all life around you as you do your movements. Be sensing but relaxed.

8. Always be sensitive to your base when you practice. You must always feel yourself connected to the ground. Your movements must always get initiated from the natural energy flowing from your base to your hands.

In this high-stress, time-constrained, frantic world we live in today, it is no wonder that millions of people suffer from anxiety. While drugs like Xanax, Valium and Klonopin are popular and work well, they can be highly addictive with many unwanted side effects. Some of the following natural treatments can work nearly as well and offer a far better long term solution:

 1. Meditation

 An ancient practice that dates back thousands of years, meditation has been thoroughly researched, and its ability to relieve stress and anxious feelings proven time and time again. There are many types of meditation, but the most studies have been done on a form called Transcendental Meditation, or TM. TM and its remarkable benefits on overall health has been studied extensively by Dr. Herbert Benson, and was outlined in his classic book “The Relaxation Response”. There are many instructional books, videos and classes available on TM and it is definitely worth the time investment to learn this unique form of meditation.

 2. L-theanine

 L-theanine is an amino acid that occurs naturally in high amounts in green tea. It is available in concentrated capsules as a supplement. It has been called “meditation in a bottle” and for good reason; research has shown that it can actually change brain waves to match those achieved by deep meditation, and usually in 30 minutes or less. For best results, try 100 낐 mg. of L- thiamine on a empty stomach.

 3. Exercise

 Exercise has been a long known antidote to stress and anxiety. This is due, in large part, to the workings of our natural in-born fight or flight mechanism; In response to stress or perceived threat, our bodies produce chemicals that help us to either stay and fight hard, or escape quickly. Thousands of years ago, this was very helpful, and the fighting or running would help naturally dissipate these chemicals. In today�™s world, however, fighting or running away are rarely appropriate responses to modern day stressors, and as a result these chemicals never have a chance to fully dissipate. The continual presence of these chemicals in the body can produce those stressed out, anxious feelings. Exercise helps resolve this problem; getting your body moving is like incorporating a “flight” response into your routine, and allows all those anxiety producing substances to dissipate. Aim for 20-30 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise at least 4 times per week.

 4. St. John’s Wort

 While most people know St. John’s Wort as a treatment for depression, many are not aware that it can also be quite effective in treating anxiety. Like traditional antidepressants, St. John’s Wort is thought to raise levels of serotonin in the brain, which can produce feelings of calm and relaxation. The usual dosage is 900 mg. per day in divided doses. The major drawback for this therapy is that it usually takes 4-6 weeks to see the full benefits.

 5. Yoga

��Another ancient practice that dates back thousands of years, yoga has seen a meteoric rise in popularity over the past few decades. There are multiple health benefits of yoga, one of which is relieving anxiety. There are many how-to books and videos available, but taking a few classes in the beginning is probably best.

 6. Massage

 Most people know instinctively that a massage is relaxing, and after a few minutes of hands-on experience with a professional, there is little doubt that it can alleviate anxiety, albeit temporarily. Although anxiety may start in the mind, it is often stored in the body and by relaxing the body with massage, you can usually relax the mind. The main drawback for this stress-buster is cost. If you can afford it, try a 30 minute massage once a week.

 7. Tai chi

 Another stress reliever from the ancient world, Tai Chi has been practiced in China for hundreds of years by millions of people. It combines elements of exercise, meditation, stretching and deep breathing for an overall health-boosting, anxiety-relieving experience. There are many instructional videos and books available to learn Tai Chi, but as with yoga, a few classes in the beginning would be a good idea.

 8. 5-HTP

 5-HTP is an amino acid extracted from African griffonia seeds. Like St. Johnâ€�s Wort, 5-HTP raises levels of serotonin in the brain, although the mechanism of action is slightly different. The result is the same; more feelings of calm and less feelings of anxiety. Recommended dosage is 50-300 mg. per day, usually at night before bed.
