Who is Bas Rutten?

A big mistake i made to mis type Bas Rutten name, yesterday i typed it as Bass Rutten. Very sorry about that mistake.

Anyway, i only heard Bas Rutten as a good fighter without knowing deeply about him. Yeah as I mention, no MMA shows aired in TV at my country ( Indonesia).

Bas Rutten has a great record when he actively fight in MMA. His record was 28 won 4 loss and 1 draw. In his fought history, he fight the Shamrocks 5 times , 2 against Ken (loss) , 3 against Frank ( 1 loss, 2 won ) . He got 3 times King of Pancrase title, UFC Heavyweight Champion, also got MTBN Thai Boxing instructor license, Pancrase instructor license.

Bas Rutten got many degree in martial art such as, 5th Degree Black Belt in Kyokushin Karate, 2nd Degree black belt in Taekwondo....

When he was young, Bas got bullied everyday (high school). Surprisingly he return to his high school reunion as a MMA Champion. At that time , Bas challenge the gang who bullied him, but none of them dare to fight him.

hope this short article will made my visitor know about Bas Rutten...

I wrote this because some guy in mailing list feel surprised and ask about Bas Rutten ( Rotten what? and Is it a name of Dutch Band?)

You can learn some ground technique by Bas Rutten in this free downloadable tutorial :

Christianity and Martial Art (Personal Thought)

As i have written in the title, this is my personal thought, if you get unhappy with that one, you can just skip this post and read another or start downloading the free clips.

Many people feel controversy between Martial Art and Christianity, majority said that Martial Art against Christianity.

For me , Martial Art and Christianity can be in the same road. God provide us with many things, and it depend on use to use it for good things or bad. God gives us uranium, we can made it for power plant supply, or otherwise we can made nuclear weapon.

God gives us body, we can use it for good thing as sport or we can use it for bad thing as doing free sex or prostitution.

As He gives me a heathy body, i should take care of it well. Training in Martial Art will support our health. Also I train for helping others not for showing who is the best in Martial Art.

My conclusion is, as long as we done things that isnt against God words, than its ok.

GBU All.

Domestic Violence, Enough and Krav Maga

Hi all...!
I have made some improvement here. I hope that my pages can be visited by women visitor too, because MMA open for all gender. I have written a bit about martial art for women .

At the movie "Enough", Jennifer Lopez got hurt from her husband. And she feel that's enough after her daughter also got hit by her husband. Then there is come chance to protect herself and her daughter, she trained Krav Maga, an Israeli martial art.

Yes we know , at the end she can use Krav Maga for fight against her husband.

Dont get me wrong, of course im hoping that every families get their happiness without violence. But there is no problem for women to train martial art. You can use it for protect yourself against bullying (if you're at school) , kidnapping, crime, or protecting your kids.

Here are some clips from movie "Enough" that can be download for free :
Alive ( Original Soundtrack Clips, J-lo sounds great)
Enough Clips (against domestic violence campaign,J-lo got hit by her husband)
Enough Clips (J-lo trained Krav Maga then, the best part of the movie, she fought against her husband).

note :all files can be watch with Windows Media Player. If you like the movie, you can buy the original VCD or DVD.

Download all the 3 clips , then you know the message...

Benefit of Martial Art for Women

(Jennifer Lopes in Enough, movie about woman who learn martial art to protect herself against abuse by her husband, one of the tagline is "self defense isnt crime")

I know that if you're girl or woman or a lady...being MMA athlete wont be your way of life. But that doesnt mean you cant learn martial art...
Some wrong thought about women doing martial art are :
1. will get injured or scratch in face...
2. you will look macho (masculine)
3. women dont have talent in martial art
4. etc...

but lets think about some different idea..about injury...even you do cooking, accident could happened. Expert said that women got better body for sport because women body are more elastic than men also women have good stamina as men (ballerina must do warm up for about more than 1 hour, they also must have good balanced and strong feet).

As you do martial art train, you get some natural benefit such as, you can get weight loss, good posture and more fit for daily work. Because same as other sport, martial art train can made oxygen circulation develop well.

The special benefit are, you can protect yourself against crime (rape), also you can protect your family . Many abuse happened in family because wife cannot protect herself against her drunk husband, and unfortunately some get killed or serious injured.

Its your right to protect yourself and its not late to learn martial art.

Who wants to watch 2 barenaked guys try to hold each other?

Years ago, arround 2001-2002, there is MMA shows in TV in my country. Some international MMA shows such as UFC, PFC, K-1, To Hot To Handle are aired in TV. Also there is 1 local MMA show, the TPI FC. But as time goes by....the MMA shows die one by one. Even at TPI FC , Indonesia got 1 good MMA fighter that shown up in foreign MMA Match.

So what made these shows tap their hands 3 times?

First, i think its about market or commercial benefit for the TV station. MMA is only popular in very small segmented viewer (generally men). Compare with the WWE that popular for men and children, Soccer (EPL, Lega Calcio) popular among men, teenager, kids and also women, TV Series (in my country called "sinetron") popular among women in all side of my country!!

Second, about culture... MMA isnt an original culture from my country. Even we have some martial arts development but grapple for fighting isnt popular. This thing followed by only small ammout of martial artist teach MMA.

Third , the media or press didnt socialize MMA well. They prefer to report soccer news than MMA. Sport Newspaper put handsome soccer player on their cover than MMA guy.

(one of tv series artist in Indonesia, prefer to watch her than the big men?)

So i dont know when MMA shows will return to Indonesia...
