Gladiator Magazine Issue # 6

Tue, 06 May 2008 15:06:44 -0400

]]>

Mixed martial arts and UFC fighting legend Frank Shamrock, called “the greatest fighter in the history of the Octagon” by UFC creator Art Davie, appears on the March 2008 cover of Gladiator Magazine, the number one periodical for mixed martial arts, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, submission grappling, and combat sports.

This insightful and fascinating story, written by Gladiator publisher and editor-in-chief Todd Hester, explains how Frank Shamrock was able to transform himself from a troubled youth to an international fighting star under the guidance of adoptive father Bob Shamrock and the influence of older brother Ken Shamrock.

From his first-ever MMA victory in Japan against Bas Rutten, after training for less than a year, Shamrock talks about the trials and tribulations that led to him being signed to fight the greatest wrestler to ever enter the cage, Olympic champion Kevin Jackson, in UFC Japan. Widely expected to lose, Frank Shamrock shocked the world by armbarring Jackson in just 14 seconds, destroying the widely-held belief that mixed martial arts fighters were not elite athletes and changing the sport of MMA forever. Shamrock also talks about his upcoming March 27 fight in San Jose, CA against Cung Le in Strikeforce.

The March issue of Gladiator also contains interviews with wrestling legend Dan Gable and Pride champion Fedor Emelianenko, now fighting for the new M-1 organization. There is also extensive MMA event coverage on UFC, KOTC, Gladiator Challenge, and Reality Fighting, grappling coverage with the BJJ No-Gi Worlds and NAGA 2007 Ranked final standings, instruction from Erik Paulson, Royce Gracie, Tom Supnet, and Royler Gracie, and special features on Dan Lambert’s American Top Team, MMA.tv founder Kirik Jenness, MMA promoter-turned-movie-producer Frederico Lapenda, UK coverage from Carl Fisher, and the hot new TV show from former KOTC producer Bud Brutsman starring FHM mega-babe Vida Guerra (complete with sizzling Vida photos!).

If that’s not enough you’ll also get a huge dose of your favorite columnists and writers including Kid Peligro, Matt Furey, Kipp Kollar, Carl Fisher, Dr. Christian Harfouche, Lester Griffin, Bill Curry, Eugene S. Robinson and more!

*Ginastica Natural DVD - Outdoor Trainning

Mon, 05 May 2008 17:51:39 -0400

]]>

Ginástica Natural combines the techniques of stretching, flexibility and respiration of hatha-yoga, the ground movements of jiu-jitsu, and the natural movements of the human body. Idealized by Alvaro Romano, it is a revolutionary method of physical conditioning that has an objective of developing physical qualities associated with motor and mental skills. Romano elaborated a methodology for beginning, intermediate, and advanced students. Originally Ginástica Natural
was intended to be practiced outdoors, however today it is a complete method. Alvaro Romano developed an adequate system that allows Ginástica Natural to be practiced in gyms. There is also a licensing for instructors to administer the classes.

Unlike what seems to suggest a creative nomenclature of movements - monkey, spider, tiger, eagle, etc. - Ginástica Natural does not consist of imitating animals. The names of the positions are merely an illustration, referring to the similarities to some animals. It deals with a gymnastic of movements that are analized and tested by Alvaro Romano before applying them in the classes. These positions help develop diverse physical qualities such as strength, flexibility, rhythm, balance, motor coordination, and muscular resistance. Exercises that use animal movements have always existed, that is why Alvaro sought to develop a different method. Based on the body expression classes that he had attended, primarily, on intuition, creativity and discipline, Alvaro decided to criate something new, which combined all his experiences with physical activities. The classes last about an hour and are practiced wearing comfortable clothes, aside from knee pads, to the sound of new age and techno.

In 1976 Alvaro Romano met Rolls Gracie, his jiu-jitsu master, a martial art of great influence in his work and fundamental importance in his personal life as athlete and professor. In the early 80's he came into contact with hatha-yoga and classes of body expression with movements from kempo. From that point on Alvaro began to research other eastern techniques and natural methods of the past. Later he also studied the movements of primitive men and animals, utilizing his experiences as an athlete of jiu-jitsu, judo, surfing, and triathlon. He spent years studying and adapting the ground movements to a training of strength. Alvaro would train almost 6 hours a day developing new combinations of movements, boased on research and analysis of muscular groups. This training is well documented in his archive of personal videos. And so was Ginástica Natural
