Sumo is a strength/power based sport, and those matches get awful slow on the rare occasions they go over 20 seconds. Not to sound like a slack jawed Crossfitter, but I think your definition of physically fit has to include provisions for stamina, flexibility, agility, mobility, endurance, power, work capacity, and general indicators of "health" such as BMI index, chest/waste/hips measurement ratios, blood pressure, resting heart rate, etc. <<>> Imagine how badass he'd be if he worked out and got a six pack. <<>> The only thing Tiger Schulman wants is your money. <<>> I understand. I'm 38...it hits us all sooner or later. Wait...what were we talking about? <<>> I think the correlation between "looks badass" and "performs badass" is a strong one, but the correlation is not 1.0. More like .95. No idea...I'm making stuff up here. Bottom line...per my experience...those who train hard to perform well will usually develop good muscle tone, low body fat, and above average muscle mass. The "look" is a side effect of the training. Then again, you've got the Larry Birds of the world who could outplay anybody on a basketball court, but looked like the guy behind the counter at the auto parts store. I can't explain it, but I've seen it. Form follows function as they say, but DNA has a lot of options and world class athleticism and overall badassness is not always accompanied by a preternatural physique. There's your word of the day...preternatural. <<>> Do you train everybody in this, or only the ones who can rep 300lbs in the bench on their first day? <<>> I ask myself a similar question all the time. Why couldn't I have been born rich instead of so darn good looking? Freaking genetics!!! <<>> I may get kicked off the list for asking this, but I once heard that the Hwa Rang Do liked their boys...and they liked them young...if you know what I'm saying. Might want to find another outdated social movement to mold one's self after. Just saying.

By this I mean all the 'behind the scenes' stuff going on inside the body. We may look at muscular people or even sumos and think wow they are in good shape, but that's only on the outside. I myself am more concerned with what's happening on the inside of me first and foremost. What good is having a great body and all that if I have high cholesterol? So to everyone on this list who may range from chubby to grossly obese, don't worry about the outside. The outside is only a manifestation of what's going on internally. Then in some cases, what's going on internally hasn't manifested itself quite yet. So focus on eating healthy, portion control, educating yourself on foods, etc. and everything will fall into place.   Jye- thanks for the kind words by the way. --- On Tue, 1/6/09, zisheged@aol.com wrote: From: zisheged@aol.com Subject: [The_Dojang] fitness vs. looking fit To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Date: Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 7:50 AM Anyone who has watched sumo wrestling can attest to the fact that these atheletes don't fit the image of fitness but indeed are incredibly strong and physically fit. My former master had a large gut but I wish I could do poomsae and kicks like he does. I personally am not into the model of Tiger Schulmann where he wants a certain look. I am seeking performance. Speaking of which, I've tried many martial arts. The one art where the instructor looked the worse in my experience was in Jiu Jitsu. That man, 10 years my senior,2 inches shorter, handed me one righteous butt whipping I'll not soon forget. He was extremely fit. The phenomenon here is the "slow gainer". In my other life as a body building trainer, I found some kids that pack on muscle easily ( I assume they don't use steroids). I've found others that train hard, develop strength but don't look like much. I guess it's important to choose your parents carefully. Genetics are genetics. I wonder what gene I lack that let's me get pounded so badly in Jiu Jitsu while I did well in TKD and boxing in college? I added a resolution, I wish to communicate as well and exhibit the Code of Hwa Rang Do/Budo as well as Jye does.

In this regard, a GAISF martial arts plenary session took place at Swissotel Krasnye Holmy, in Moscow, Russia on Dec. 13, 2008. The occasion served as a preparatory meeting for the launch of the tentatively named SportAccord Martial Arts and Combat Sports Games to be held in 2010. The project has been driven for the past years under the leadership of Mr. Hein Verbruggen, president of GAISF, as an official event of GAISF. The representatives from 12 International Federations among 13 GAISF Martial Arts and Combat Sports Federation attended the meeting, except sumo. The 12 International Federations, which attended the meeting, were aikido, boxing, judo, ju-jitsu, karate, kendo, kickboxing, muaythai, sambo, taekwondo, wrestling and wushu. According to Mr. Hein Verbruggen, the Chinese capital of Beijing will mostly host the inaugural SportAccord Martial Arts and Combat Sports Games in 2010, while the contract has not been finalized yet. In order to guarantee the participation of best athletes in this event, accommodation as well as traveling expenses of athletes will be covered by the host city. The SportAccord Martial Arts and Combat Sports Games will also feature various cultural programs, lectures on history of traditional martial arts sports and physical education, and teaching programs. The event will be mostly held once every four years, while the GAISF is still open to the possibility of holding the event once every two years. The sports will be divided into different groups according to the nature of the sports and also venue requirements, such as elastic mats, wooden floor, rings, and so on. At the moment, the games will likely to be held at three venues. The games will last eight days. Each International Federation will send no more than 80 athletes and will have one and a half day of competition. The WTF presented a primary proposal of sending 64 athletes in Olympic weight category. In order to achieve the best performance of taekwondo among other martial arts sports, the WTF is considering selecting the athletes based on the WTF's new world athlete ranking system. In addition, the WTF has proposed performing taekwondo demonstrations twice during the games to display the most outstanding beauty of taekwondo. The competition dates will be either Aug. 24 to Sept. 4 or Sept. 25 to Oct. 2. The WTF has expressed concern about competition in August considering the weather condition in Beijing and also the fact that the inaugural Youth Olympic Games will take place in August. The GAISF president accepted the concern and confirmed that the GAISF will propose to host city for the period of Sept. 25 to Oct. 2. Once the program is established, the WTF will inform member national associations of the structure of the games and the outlines of the games. --__--__-- Message: 6 Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2009 16:52:21 -0800 From: The_Dojang To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] Youth Olympic Games Qualification System Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net 2010 Youth Olympic Games Qualification System 07 Jan 2009 The WTF is pleased to announce the qualification system for the inaugural Youth Olympic Games, which will be held in Singapore on August 14-26, 2010.
