Gina Carano : Crush

Its her again! I bet you prefer to watch her than men MMA fighter. But now , I shared her video on American Gladiator. Her nickname is Crush, and yeah, she still powerfull here. You can watch it for yourself. At first time I think she will hold back a little in American Gladiator....but hell..she try to crush down every opponent.



At this video, contenders fight gladiator in joust match. A real interesting match, which Gina was very powerful in striking her opponent. As a bonus you can watch her dance in top of joust arena....really "hot" dance for MMA artist (dont ever think Fedor will beat her in that movement!)

Gina "Crush" Carano shown off her skill at throwing down her contender....
A really dangerous lady i think.
If it happened in real arena, I guess the contender will get some broken bone.

Born in 1982, Gina Carano is one of MMA girl actively fight in the ring. She is good at Muay Thai. After successful career at Muay Thai, she's been invited to fight at MMA. She won against some MMA popular fighter such as Tonya Evinger, Julie Kedzie and Kaitlin Young.

Besides her career at MMA, she also appear in Amercian Gladiator "Crush" series, then several times appeared as photo model in Magazine ( MAXIM ). Her newest shot was become the game icon of Red Alert 3. Her role as Natasha , a heroine from Soviet side.

With all her talent, I think she can be lured to become actress or model than keep fighting in the cage.

MMA in Blog

Mixed Martial Art arent common words in our life and yet in blogging world. And surely many people still don't know what MMA is?

For me MMA means match or fight between athlete or martial artist from different style. Also each artist generally known not only one type of fighting style, he/she may known to specialize at some martial art, BJJ and Karate, or Judo and Sambo, etc.

I prefer to use term artist or athlete than fighter, because of the word Art (for artist) and legal tournament in almost of my download able videos. Although people seen MMA as brutal event or sport, its not as danger as boxing I think. I don't even know any MMA athlete got killed in MMA match. But I know boxer who died after match.

I have seen some blog with MMA theme. And some of them are better than mine. They try to give detail information about Martial Art style. In my blog I just post some good videos to download, people don't need to have deep knowledge about martial art to watch it. Just seen it as entertainment and will be better if they got insight from what they've watched.

Shogun

Known as "Shogun", Mauricio Rua made a good way in MMA match. And become well known MMA fighter as Fedor and Cro Cop. Unfortunately for him been defeated by Coleman and got injury for a long time. But also Rua got some good winning record ( against Quinton Jackson, Antonio Nogueira , Randleman )

Overall, Rua has a good ability in stand up and ground fighting. As you may see in the download able video, Rua fought pretty well. He strikes accurately. This video known as Rua's first MMA match , it was against Rafael Capoeira.

Chess and Martial Art

Yesterday, one of my friend look at my blog and asked why I create the MA blog, because as she know, my hobby is chess. Yes and thats ok with my chess hobby along with MA. Im an ex chess teacher for about 3 years. I taught chess for children at age 5 until teenage. I never got my master title, but my students doing great at competition. The last championship that assisting by me, my student got bronze medal (South East Asia level).

Well there are same principles between chess and martial art. Do some wrong moves then your opponent will eliminate you. Also we must think precisely for attack and defense, even in martial art we're not thinking as long as in chess game, we still must put in strategy in game.

Practice makes perfect, chess and martial art needs practice. And also need sparring between you and "opponent". In chess we know also term combination, including pinning, discovery, and others. Combination also made in martial art, you can hit and lock, hit and take down, etc.

And as i know Lennox Lewis (boxer) also study chess to apply it in boxing match. So there are nothing odd about learning chess and martial art.
