Justin Bieber Faces Ban from Philippines

 Justin Bieber appears to have finally found a way to win over the 18-30 male demographic.
Unfortunately for the 18-year-old pop singer, it may come at the cost a ban from entering the Philippines.
Following Filipino boxing hero Manny Pacquiao’s emphatic KO at the fists of perennial rival Juan Manuel Marquez earlier this month, the Canadian teen took to his Instagram account and posted photoshopped images of the unconscious fighter.

By Jule Pace
WASHINGTON (AP) — Spurred by a horrific elementary school shooting, President Barack Obama tasked his administration Wednesday with creating concrete proposals to reduce gun violence that has plagued the country.
"This time, the words need to lead to action," said Obama, who set a January deadline for the recommendations. He vowed to push for their implementation without delay.The president, who exerted little political capital on gun control during his first term, also pressed Congress to reinstate an assault weapons ban, which expired in 2004. He also called for stricter background checks for people who seek to purchase weapons and limited high capacity clips.

"The fact that this problem is complex can no longer be an excuse for doing nothing," Obama said. "The fact that we can't prevent every act of violence doesn't mean we can't steadily reduce the violence."

Learn Basic Boxing Punches

You can’t consider yourself a boxer without learning the basic boxing punches
Boxing is one of the basic martial arts in MMA that is very practical an easy to learn. Furthermore, one of the most important aspects of boxing that you need know and develop are the boxing punches. Because boxing is a combat sport that uses the fist, you need to know the basic punches that are being utilized in this sport. Here are the basic punches usually used in boxing that you need to be familiar with.

Jab
The jab is the easiest to practice and learn among all the boxing punches. In boxing, jab purposely is a defensive punch. Moreover, it is also essential if you really want to master boxing. Like in basketball you need to know how to dribble and if want to master boxing you need first to learn the jab. It is a punch wherein you measure your distance of your opponent or perhaps a defensive punch to create distance and prevent your opponent to get closer. In terms of speed, jab is the fastest and it would land first compared to other boxing punches. This is the reason why it is usually used as a defensive striking arsenal.
However, jabs have no power but if landed properly it could knock out and opponent. Take for example how Anderson Silva put Forrest Griffin out with a jab. With just a snap right at the chin it has the potential of knocking out your adversary. This is one of the boxing punches that are highly used as well especially there is reach and height advantage.
How to do the jab is easy. I’ll give the instructions to a right hander and if you are a left hander, just reverse it.
I assume you know the boxing stance, just click the boxing stance if you still don’t know how to do it. When throwing the jab, the lead hand or the hand that is in front of you is what you are going to use. Some say that you don’t really don’t need to put some power when you punch the jab.

The proper or the technical way to do it is to slightly twist your hips and upper body then snap you right fist pointing straight then bring it back right away to its same position. Always remember that you need to protect yourself, this is the reason why you need to bring back your lead hand back to its position.

The straight or the cross
This boxing punch is one with power because the straight or the cross comes with much force and power. In addition, you will use your strongest arm. If you are a right hander, you right hand is the strongest compared to your left vice versa.

It is very effective when it is used after a jab. The reason for this is that the straight is much easier to anticipate and you are more vulnerable to counters. You really need to set up first before you unleash this punch and the jab is the best way to break in to your opponent’s defense.
To launch a straight punch you need to twist your hips and your body and target straight ahead. Don’t lean forward just twist and snap. Make it a habit to cover your chin immediately right after a punch to avoid dangerous counter punches.

The Hook
This is very effective to use on charging opponent because they will have a hard time seeing it coming. This is one of the..
