Whasp

Legend of Suzumebachi the Emishi Warrior

 

Heian

periods (7th10th centuries AD).

 

 

 

The story

goes?. During the 38 year war somewhere between 774-811AD, Honshu, Japan,in the

Tōhoku region a peasant farmer from the Emishi Clan had a near death experience

after accidentally stumbling upon a hornets nest.He had got lost in a tropical

forest fleeing from magistrates sent to govern their lands and collect taxes.

 

 

 

Searching

for food he mistakenly opened a hornet's nest, thinking that he would find

honey in the ?bee hive?. He managed to escape the deadly swarm by diving over a

cliff into a steam, clutching the nest under his arm.

 

 

 

Once on

the riverbank, still hungry, he opened the nest and found thousands of larvae

in the nest. In desperate need of energy and stamina he started to eat the

larva for survival, carrying the nest with him and replenishing his energy as

he ran for miles through the forest looking for a road to take him back to his

village.

 

 

 

He

managed to find his village 3 days later after travelling more than 200 km

inland down the northern bank of the Kitakami

River.

 

 

 

When the

people in the village asked him what happened to him he told them that he came

across a miracle juice secreted by the larvae of what he called, the ?Sparrow

Bee?. He originally had mistaken the black and orange body of the wasp for a

bee and because of the size, 50mm from head to stinger and the 76mm wingspan of

the insect reminded him of a sparrow, therefore the reference to ?Sparrow Bee?

or Suzumebachi in Japanese.

 

 

 

The clan

then renamed him Suzumebachi, later becomming the fearless leader Aterui. In

the year 789 AD at the Battle of Koromo

River (also known as

Battle of Sufuse) the Japanese army under Ki no Kosami Seito shogun was

defeated by the Isawa Emishi under their general Aterui. A four thousand strong

army was attacked as they tried to cross the Kitakami River

by a force of a thousand Emishi. The imperial army suffered its most stunning

defeat, losing a thousand men, many of whom drowned. 

 

 

 

It is

believed that the defeat was possible because the 1,000 strong Emishi force

ingested the larvae juice of ?The Asian Giant Hornet?, Vespa mandarinia, also

known as the Japanese hornet, it is the world's largest hornet, native to

temperate and tropical Eastern Asia.

 

 

 

Modern

science has identified and isolated the secret behind the Vespa's near

supernatural energy, stamina and power. The adult wasp does not eat this solid

food, rather, it receives a liquid secreted by the larvae in a symbiotic

relationship called trophallaxis. This potent larvae juice consists of a

specific amino acid profile believed to act as an enzyme catalysis to increase

the bodies ability to metabolize fat and use it as energy.

 

 

 

The Asian

Mandarin Wasp (Vespa mandarina) is one of nature's most potent endurance

animals. This wasp flies between 70-100 KM per day in search of food and

carries between up to its entire body weight in food back to the colony to feed

to the larvae.

 

The key

to sustaining athletic performance lies in optimizing the body's ability to metabolize

fat. Fortunately, the body has a plentiful and highly concentrated supply of

energy in the form of fat. Training for endurance develops mitochondria, large

mitochondria, which increases the body's ability to oxidize fatty acids.

 

 

 

The

unique amino acid complex derived from the Vespa mandarinia Wasp works by

shifting the muscles to metabolize a higher level of fat during physical

activity thus stabilizing and conserving glycogen.

 

 

 

The brain

and nervous system have to utilize glucose to function optimally, however, they

require very little. Muscle tissue, when using glucose for muscle metabolism,

consumes glycogen at an extremely high rate which will eventually result in the

commonly experienced state of "bonking" if sugars are not replaced.

 

 

 

By shifting

the muscles to metabolize a higher percentage of fat as the primary energy

source glycogen/glucose levels are stabilized and conserved so the brain and

nervous system can function optimally resulting in greater mental clarity/focus

and optimal motor skills/coordination over a greater period of time.

 

 

 

Whasp Endurance Energy went a few steps further in selecting only

those Amino Acids in the natural profile which are beneficial for human

psychology and which have the scientific backing to prove the results.      

 

 

 

The

specific Amino Acid Complex has been carefully selected to form a synergistic

matrix for optimum results. The formula has been developed to help;

 

      - increase your physical endurance

 

      - reduce lactic acid build-up in your

muscles

 

      - transforms reserves of body fat into

long lasting energy

 

      - lose body fat when exercising/training

(Helps transfer fat into energy)

 

      - enables the body to use the reserve

glycogen as energy 

 

      - reduce muscle fatigue and cramping and

after events

Classic !

 

[Slipstream Sean]

Unlikely, but perhaps some WASPS were

OK I'm using whasp for the first time this weekend in Clarens. Dont want to be picky but there a typo in the second paragraph is says jumping in the steam and not stream. just thought that if it goes of to the printers or worse it maybe already was you could rectify it.

[MaxUmis]

"diving over a cliff into a steam"

 

a steam...

 

thats hardcore bru.

 

 

 

what made this "steam"?

 

 

 

 

 

 

also have a look at the last sentence... "reduce muscle fatigue and cramping and after events" That last "and" looks dodgeMaxUmis2009-10-01 01:54:16

....it seems only Japs were harmed...

That's okay then. Whasps (and WASPS) are far more critical to the eco system.

[Rocket-Boy]

Is this a nice made up tale like the Mugg and Bean ones?

[Pornstar]

why would i owe everybody on this a gel ?

[Pornstar]

And we have a spelling mistake on purpose to see if people read things..ha haa
