Actually, it's gotten to where they don't hurt at all. The first thing I noticed after we moved into our new space without a sprung floor was that my knees hurt less after class. The one which is foam (2" of it!) on hardwood was also on a sprung floor until recently. One has a sprung floor, the other is just foam on hardwood. I have to agree with the benefits mentioned in general, but. When I opened my first permanent dojo, in came the spring-loaded mat for good!" As a coach, I vowed that I would cease subjecting my students to unnecessary hardship just as soon as I could. I also realized that many who started Judo in the clubs I was attending (including my own brother) soon quit because they didn't appreciate the falling. Looking back at my own training, the only thing that I never liked about Judo was landing on concrete-hard surfaces, especially in the cold winter. "As a coach, I have always looked for ways to better my program.
DOJO FLOOR PLAN FULL
See his full article with photographs online at: Judoka Gerald Lafon has spent many years experimenting with home-made spring-loaded mats which are actually better - and cheaper - than commercial models.
Imagine doing that to your computer 20-50-300 times a night and then being surprised that it was starting to not work quite so well as it did before. Watch an Olympic judo film sometime but ignore the throws - watch the heads bouncing off the solid mats. One obviously severely damaged fellow I know denied any history of actual "head injury" but admitted to 8 years of 300 breakfalls a night. And once you know what to look for, the Walking Wounded are everywhere. Otherwise, the same forces that destroy the legs and hips of dancers are tearing at brains and bodies in judo and aikido. Dance floors (and even WWF rings) are "sprung" for good reason and dojo floors should be too. I'm also convinced that years of repetitive breakfalls=years of repetitive microtrauma + the occasional macrotrauma is a potentially tragic mix. My own unfortunate experience has given me a fervent interest in head injury and its aftermath. To save your body, your brain and your life - and maybe even your student numbers. Out of curiosity why do you want a sprung floor? (Hey Jeff, say "Hi" to your dad from Wendy on the Forensic Path Committee and her pony-tailed Jim.) A more forgiving mat extends your fully practicing Aikido by another 10 years. When we're done we'll have 80 tatami on a spring floor. Building the wood floor just an hour or two.
DOJO FLOOR PLAN PLUS
The rest of the money we blew on beer.Īpplying the foam took several hours plus a day to set. The Zebra mats about $120 for a 1x2 meter mat, less if it's been used. The Liquid Nails to attach the foam is about 6 bucks per plywood sheet. The foam blocks comes to about $12 per plywood sheet. The plywood runs about $12 to $15 for a 4x8 sheet. We just built one using foam blocks on plywood. It never felt so good to be right.You can have one made using the same people who build dance stages. There should still be plenty of room and everything should be sitting pretty. Yeah… Just like that. In just a bit here, you should see the text start to wrap below the right aligned image and settle in nicely. Don’t let anyone else tell you differently. I don’t care what the left aligned image says, you look great. Just look at him there… Hey guy! Way to rock that right side. Again, there should be plenty of room above, below, and to the left of the image. It should remain contained with no visible disruption to the flow of content.Īnd now we’re going to shift things to the right align. The image above, though 1200px wide, should not overflow the content area. Again, letting the do it’s thang. Mission accomplished!Īnd now for a massively large image. In about one more sentence here, we’ll see that the text moves from the right of the image down below the image in seamless transition. Let them do their jobs without any hassle from the text. The text should not be creeping on the image.
The rest of this paragraph is filler for the sake of seeing the text wrap around the 150×150 image, which is left aligned.Īs you can see the should be some space above, below, and to the right of the image. In addition, they also get the options of Thumbnail, Medium, Large & Fullsize. On the topic of alignment, it should be noted that users can choose from the options of None, Left, Right, and Center. Welcome to image alignment! The best way to demonstrate the ebb and flow of the various image positioning options is to nestle them snuggly among an ocean of words.
