Bolo Punch
A bolo punch is a punch used in martial arts. The bolo punch is not among the traditional boxing punches (jab, uppercut, hook and cross). '' Bolo'' is a Filipino single-edged knife similar to the machete. The primary use for the bolo is clearing vegetation, however the bolo is also used in Filipino martial arts and is one of the main weapons trained in the martial art. After the United States defeated Spain in the Spanish–American War, they took over occupation of the Philippine Islands. Many Filipinos began emigrating to the United States, mostly California and Hawaii, as farm laborers. These immigrants were practitioners of the Filipino martial arts which included the boxing art known as Suntukan, Panantukan, and Pangamot. Many of these Filipino fighters gravitated towards the local sport boxing matches because they could earn more from one boxing match than working a week on the farms. Some used false names and traveled around so they could get around the boxing commission ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bolo Bat
Paddle ball is a one-person game played with a paddle and an attached ball. Using the flat paddle with the small rubber ball attached at the center via an elastic string, the player tries to hit the ball with the paddle in succession as many times as possible. The paddle (sometimes called a bolo bat) is similar in size and shape to a table tennis racket. It is usually made from either wood or plastic. History Created and patented () by William R. Lind in the 1920s, the paddle ball was one of the more whimsical products to follow the invention of soft rubber. In 1937, the Fli-Back Company was founded in High Point, North Carolina with the paddle-ball as their main product. The paddle logo depicted a cowboy playing paddle ball while riding a bucking bronco. In that year, the toy was featured in ''Newsweek''. This first successful mass-marketing of the toy allowed the company to diversify into other toys, including the yo-yo and spinning tops. In the 1950s, Duncan Toys Comp ...

Bolo (tether)
Space tethers are long cables which can be used for propulsion, momentum exchange, stabilization and attitude control, or maintaining the relative positions of the components of a large dispersed satellite/spacecraft sensor system. Depending on the mission objectives and altitude, spaceflight using this form of spacecraft propulsion is theorized to be significantly less expensive than spaceflight using rocket engines. Main techniques Tether satellites might be used for various purposes, including research into tether propulsion, tidal stabilization and orbital plasma dynamics. Five main techniques for employing space tethers are in development: ;Electrodynamic tethers Electrodynamic tethers are primarily used for propulsion. These are conducting tethers that carry a current that can generate either thrust or drag from a planetary magnetic field, in much the same way as an electric motor does. ;Momentum exchange tethers These can be either rotating tethers, or non-rotating ...
