JUMP INSIDE THE MIND OF A MOLECULE
Tandem Events today announced that leading UK games developer Media Molecule, the studio behind multi-award winning LittleBigPlanet, will headline this year’s Develop Conference, which takes place 19 – 21 July in Brighton.
Industry luminary Phil Harrison, co-founder and general manager of London Venture Partners, will interview Media Molecule founding directors Alex Evans, Mark Healey and Kareem Ettouney for the conference’s Opening Keynote session: Living Inside a Molecule.
The keynote session brings Harrison’s relationship with Media Molecule full circle: he signed LittleBigPlanet in his former role as president of Sony Studios Worldwide five years ago. Since then, the game has won multiple awards and five Guinness World Records. On Wednesday 20 July at Develop, he’ll be reunited with the team (one of the most creative and innovative in the UK) to share their thoughts about the future and allow us a glimpse into their past. They will discuss everything from their humble beginnings, company culture and latest game, to their acquisition by Sony.
“We’re delighted that Media Molecule is opening the conference this year,” commented Andy Lane, managing director of Tandem Events. “They are the pioneers of user-generated content and remain one of the most creative studios around. It will be fascinating to hear their stories from the trenches – and who better to help them relive their tales than the man who helped them on their way: Phil Harrison.”

Choy Li Fut Horse Stance Inside Kung Fu January 2004 by ...
Horse stance training is vital to mastering many Southern Chinese martial arts systems. This practice also is emphasized in northern kung-fu systems. Horse stance training strengthens the muscles of the legs. When the legs are stronger, forms practice will be better balanced and more stable. Forms also become more graceful and beautiful. Plus, the stances give a fighter more power and quicker movements in self-defense or street situations.
There are three main reasons for practicing the horse stance:
To train students to have patience and perseverance . A successful martial artist must have patience when training. Back in ancient times, old masters used to put the students through horse stance training for years to test a student’s patience. This testing also gave the master a chance to observe his student’s loyalty, sincerity and true intention. If students could demonstrate their willingness to endure the rigors of prolonged horse stance training, the master felt better about handing down the secret family fighting system to them. Loyalty, sincerity, patience and good personal character continue to be valued traits.
To master footwork and to strengthen leg muscles - In stance training, you must work on different stances besides the regular horse stance (a.k.a. the square horse). The bow stance, cat stance, kneeling stances and different twist stances are important factors in kung-fu training. The Chinese term ma has several different meanings: it means the word horse or in the southern kung-fu systems it also means stances. Therefore, you don’t just stand in one position for long time doing only doing “the horseback riding stance.” You should practice all the different martial art stances. The choy li fut kung-fu system has a horse stance training form called the “five wheel stance.” In ancient times, students of the system were required to practice this form for three-to-six months before they were taught any hand forms. Each time they worked on the five wheel stance form, students were required to hold the position for three-to-five minutes. While an entire form could take two hours or longer to perform, students developed fast movements with strong, powerful stances.
