Excerpt: Terence Lee "Terry" Etim (born January 11, 1986) is a mixed martial artist and thai boxer who trains with Team Kaobon and RFT. He is trained by Colin Heron and Marcelo Brigadeiro. Etim is a blue belt in Luta Livre under black belt Marcelo Brigadeiro. Terry has become the Cage Gladiators Lightweight Champion defeating Greg Loughran via rear naked choke in the second round and successfully defended his title against Sami Berik, again winning in the second round via arm bar. Etim's fight with Spain's Diego Gonzalez was refereed by former boxing World Heavyweight Champion Mike Tyson, during the World Cage Fighting Championships at the MEN Arena in Manchester, England in March 2006. Etim won the fight via triangle choke in the first round. Since then Etim trained with Pride veteran Luciano Azevedo in Brazil in preparation for his fight with Matt Grice at UFC 70 in Manchester. After an opening flurry that rocked Grice, Etim jumped in with a flying knee that was blocked and caused him to fall to the canvas. From there, Grice worked his ground and pound attack, but once the fight was stood up, Etim turned the tables and locked in a standing guillotine. Etim dragged Grice down to the ground whilst in the guillotine. But this allowed Grice to escape briefly, before Etim got Grice in another guillotine choke. Grice fell unconscious in the choke and referee Steve Mazzagatti halted the fight with 12 seconds left of the opening round. Etim was defeated at UFC 75, London by Gleison Tibau via unanimous decision. Etim was controlled on the ground by Tibau for the length of the fight, eliciting boos from the English crowd.

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Tatchakorn Yeerum (Thai: ; or formerly Panom Yeerum (Thai: ; IPA: ) (born February 5, 1976 in Surin province, Isaan, Thailand), better known in the West as Tony Jaa, in Thailand as Jaa Panom, is a Thai monk. Prior to assuming his vows, he was a martial artist, actor, choreographer, stuntman and director. His films include Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior, Tom-Yum-Goong (also called Warrior King or The Protector) and Ong-Bak 2: The Beginning. He was raised in a rural area and as he grew up he watched films by Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Vince Lam and Jet Li at temple fairs, which was his inspiration to learn martial arts. He was so inspired by them that while he was doing chores or playing with friends, he would imitate the martial arts moves that he had seen, practicing in his father's rice paddy. Also, he would give baths to the family's elephants and somersault off their backs into the river. In Tom-Yum-Goong, Tony Jaa demonstrated a style of Muay Thai that has moves that imitate an elephant."What they did was so beautiful, so heroic that I wanted to do it too," Jaa told Time in a 2004 interview. "I practiced until I could do the move exactly as I had seen the masters do it." At age 15 he requested to become a protege of stuntman and action-film director Panna Rittikrai. Panna had instructed Jaa to attend Maha Sarakham College of Physical Education in Maha Sarakham Province. He has trained for an unspecified time in Taekwondo although there are no details regarding if this was in ITF or WTF style and if he has received formal Taekwondo training or as part of his stunt team member apprenticeship.

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : La boxe thaï ou le muay thai (thaï: มวยไทย, « boxe Tai »), parfois appelée boxe thaïlandaise, est un art martial et un sport de combat, créé pour les militaires thaïlandais au siècle. Il est classé en Occident parmi les boxes pied-poings (BPP), c'est-à-dire les boxes dites « sportives ». La boxe thai trouve son origine dans des pratiques martiales ancestrales, notamment dans ce qu'on appelle en Occident le muay boran (boxe traditionnelle) et du krabi krabong (pratique avec les armes) qui, tout comme la boxe thaïlandaise, nécessitent des aptitudes physiques telles que souplesse, réflexes, puissance et force, mais aussi des aptitudes mentales comme la volonté et le courage. La boxe thaïlandaise est pratiquée dans le monde entier. Le muay thaï est un descendant du muay boran. Dans ce dernier on trouve plusieurs styles (voir : Styles de Boxe Thai) issus du régionalisme et de certaines pratiques martiales traditionnelles (notamment pour quelques unes elles sont inspirées du comportement animal). Parmi les styles les plus connus, on trouve : et les styles thématiques tel les techniques du singe blanc hanuman.À propos du muay boran , il y a une expression qui énonce les principaux styles selon la formule : « Le poing puissant du Korat, l'esprit du Lopburi, la posture du Chaiya et la vitesse du Thasao » (thaï : หมัดหนักโคราช ฉลาดลพบุรี ท่าดีไชยา เร็วกว่าท่าเสา). Ces pratiques non compétitives de l'art thaïlandais sont regroupées (en Thaïlande) dans le vocable mae mai muay...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Nicely done
This DVD is done in Portugese and English.

It is shot at numerous angles, very clear and no difficulty to play the DVD. It is clearly spoken, well thought out and well presented. ... Read more
