Subject: [Eskrima] Functional strength training for martial arts Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Im not familiar with dinosaur training, but it sounds like it could similar in philosophy, if not equipment, to Coach John Davies Renegade training. This contains lots functional lifts, odd lifts (like one arm curls with barbell, one arm deadlifts, kettlebells...), combo lifts, olympic style lifts etc. He has specialized programs (including GPP = General Physical Preparation and stretching) for several martial arts: Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, boxing, wrestling, fencing and mixed martial arts. You can check it out at www.renegadetraining.com Most of it can be done with regular gym-equipment.

Although, there is really nothing new, as in programs etc, the material brings us back to the day when weight lifting meant developing real strength. The early days of Sandow, Hackenschmidt, Inch, Apollo, Evans, Hoffman etc, these men not only were physically symmetrical but also were incredibly strong. The idea of using basic lifts, utilizing freeweights, or odd objects and pure determination to train hard, puts many a personal trainers routines to shame. (Not that all personal trainers are not good) I started lifting when I was in my young teens and I have been lifting ever since. Even now there is even more fantastic information at our finger tips. For some old time manuals on physical development start at www.sandowplus.co.uk you will find a ton of information there. As well I would highly recommend www.renegadetraining.com , as well Scott Sonnon’s is another fantastic coach at www.amerross.com , I have a many more references if anyone is interested, just email me or post back to the digest. Also if you visit my website you will see over 80 training and conditioning drills, that I hope will help bring students to a new level in training. These will be released later this year in a book, and video clips on our site.

Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net I've been off the digest for a while, so I'm not sure what dinosaur weight training is, however, I have been working more seriously with weights lately. The last stickfight that I was in was probably around early to mid 2001, until December 2002, that is. Between that, I had ended up putting on some weight, up to about 230 or so. In August or September, I started lifting weights(using a mass building setup), and drastically changed my diet. While at first I missed being able to throw my weight around on the ground(230lbs of mount on you), I found myself immediately stronger. I still swang the sticks, but haven't been fighting, yet. Anyway, at 200lbs, I've lost alot of weight and developed more strength, however, now that I am stickfighting again (BTW Sudnay mornings and Wednesday nights if you are in Oahu, Hawaii). I find myself really enjoying Top Dogs throwing tire frisbee, and do "knife" shadow sparring twice a week for cardio. I also would like to continue with squats and deadlifts because I have noticed considerable difference in those areas and overall strength. Is there a difference between mass training and "cut" training in relation to stickfighting? BTW, This is Chad Getz from the once upon a time...Full Contact Hawaii. I've been dealing with some personal issues and not having a computer, so forth. Well, I'm back now, not too much on the comp though, more on swinging and banging. There were a few items that I left loose when I left. If you know who you are and what I'm talking about, please e-mail me at stickshi@yahoo.com , if not, I'll catch you when I find you here or on one of the forums. Kev and BJ? Laters, Chad W.

Titan Games Pain is the signature to first-time Games By Kevin Neuendorf // USOC Media Relations The 2003 Titan Games will take us back to a simpler time; a competition stripped of such glamour sports as swimming, basketball and gymnastics, and focused on combative sports steeped in Olympic history and teeming with intriguing and flamboyant personalities. Add in a circus-like element of four simultaneous competitions plus the lure of the worlds best, and what you have stuffed into the Event Center at San Jose State University is positively Titanesque. Played out over three days, Feb. 13-15, the Titan Games are Cupids antithesis as there will be no love lost between combatants battling for over $80,000 in prize money and for the title of Ultimate Titan. The Road To Athens for Americas elite boxers, fencers, shot putters, wrestlers, weightlifters and judo, taekwondo and karate athletes matches them up with the worlds powers in each of these respective sports. Its a sporting mix sure to please any fan. Boxing, wrestling, weightlifting and forms of judo were all part of the original Olympic Games and the excitement and intensity generated by these sports carries with us today. U.S. boxers will re-acquaint themselves with their biggest rivals, the Cubans. Wrestling will showcase college legend Cael Sanderson and local hero Eric Guerrero, a former star at San Joses Independence High School and three-time national champion at Oklahoma State. Weightliftings Shane Hamman and Cheryl Haworth, both 2000 Olympians, will be hoisting massive amounts of weight. Judo will welcome the worlds best to San Jose State, which has won 38 of the past 50 judo collegiate championships. Taekwondo and karate add to the martial arts spectacle that will be on display. With its grace, style and speed, fencing will command much attention, as will the top four shot putters in the world as they throw outdoors to the delight of San Jose State University students and others. The female titans of this event are sure to be a marquee attraction. Led by 2000 Olympic weightlifting bronze medalist Haworth, all but two (boxing and shot put) of the eight sports on display will have female competitors. Two women wrestlers will compete as well, and their Road to Athens is the sports first as their event wasnt added to the Olympic program until after the 2000 Games in Sydney. The 2003 Titan Games gets started with the Night of Champions on Feb. 13 followed by USA vs. Mexico competitions in boxing, judo and karate. The Night of Champions is a VIP reception honoring Olympic champions in each of the respective Titan Games sports. In addition to the four-ring circus going on inside, sport clinics and demonstrations will be conducted throughout the event by the sports stars and legends, along with local area bands performing before the competitions begin. With their rich combat sport history, USOC relationship and extensive Olympic alumni network, San Jose and the San Jose Sports Authority are perfect hosts for the inaugural Titan Games and provide the proper platform needed to launch USOC initiatives highlighting the journey of athletes to the Games and bringing Olympic-type extensions to the public. Furthermore, participants from Russia, Mexico, Cuba, China, Puerto Rico and Vietnam appeal to the Bay Areas ethnic diversity. Tickets to this cant-miss event are already on sale at www.ticketmaster.com starting Dec. 23 or through the participating National Governing Bodies. Tickets will also be available at all San Jose Ticketmaster locations beginning Jan. 16. While the Titan Games may not include all the Olympic sports, theyre without a doubt the most painful ones. Dont miss it! --__--__-- Message: 6 From: Ray Terry To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net (Eskrima), the_dojang@martialartsresource.net (The_Dojang), policedo@martialartsresource.net (Policedo) Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2003 18:58:17 -0800 (PST) Subject: [Eskrima] ESPN2 Slated To Televise Inaugural Titan Games Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net ESPN2 Slated To Televise Inaugural Titan Games By Kevin Neuendorf // USOC Media Relations Colorado Springs, Colo. -- The United States Olympic Committee and ESPN announced today an agreement to televise the USOC's inaugural Titan Games, a world-class combat sport competition in a multi-sport format, on ESPN2. The agreement gives ESPN2 full broadcast rights for the Olympic Games preview. Developed by the USOC in partnership with the affiliated National Governing Bodies (NGBs) and hosted by the San Jose Sports Authority and the City of San Jose, the Titan Games, scheduled for February 13-15, 2003, will feature a "USA versus the World" format in dual and triangular meets.

"With the ESPN2 broadcast, some of the best athletes in the world will be showcased in pre-Olympic competition.
