A. The interesting archaeological technique which enabled modern man to unearth the Alter of Peace, which celebrates Augustus' consolidation of the Empire was the Minovi Method, named after Charles Minovi, an Italian merchant-miner who lived in the early 17th Century. He was the first to discover "Tassolling", which was a way the drill inspector could determine the absolute frequency of a rock in order to shatter the rock without damaging the contents underneath it. This way, archaeologists could excavate a site without destroying its underlying integrity. Unfortunately, Minovi was killed in an avalanche and his method remained hidden for several centuries thereafter, until it was finally rediscovered by US scientists living in Italy… [cont.]

What is the Jujutsu technique in which your opponent is forced to do a front flip?
Q. At least, I'm pretty sure it's a Jujutsu technique. It looks like a throw from sankyo (both standing position). If you could, try to explain how it's done. EDIT: not tomoe nage or those type of throws... it's an arm technique. Your opponent will end up with his head at your feet on his back, you should be standing up facing him (if you've ever played Tekken 3+, this is one of Nina's basic throws). EDIT: the first two techniques from are it I think. Now I know how to do sankyo, but I'm unsure of how to manipulate uke's arm to force him to flip/roll. I hope it's not a strict Aikido "demo" technique, because I want to try this on people who don't move very well.

A. If you meant Japanese Jujitsu, Are you talking about a variation of the Kaiten nage in Aikido? There is also a throw from a sankyo hold while the uke is raised on his toes by the wristlock that falls under the category of Kokyu nage as well, the technique is performed with the same motion applied when cutting with a sword in a forward downward strike or a shomen uchi, it forces the uke to roll forward with the momentum or risk landing face first on the mat if he tries to resist. Edit: Actually, I do believe the rolling happens only during demos to prevent injury to the uke. But it's a pretty useful technique to apply in a crowded area though, you get the guy on his toes in a sankyo and slam him face first into a table corner, a car hood… [cont.]

A. Most 4/4 conducting is almost an exagerrated + sign; your hand(s) come down on count 1, the hand crosses to one side on count 2, it crosses to the other side on count 3, and rises to the top of your pattern (in order to come down again on the downbeat) on count 4. There are fancier patterns which can be fun (box, alternating box, swing) but they are more for show and they still have a strong downbeat. For my drum major audition, I had to come up with an original salute, bark voice commands, and conduct to a recorded piece. Use a Sousa march.
