World Martial arts

A Luta nasceu em cada lugar onde o homem apareceu. E junto com ele se desenvolveu. Ela nasce “livre” como diz o próprio nome sem adereços ou complementos, em consonância com a própria natureza. O homem sempre lutou, e continuará lutando até o fim dos séculos.
”A Luta Livre nestes últimos 10 anos cresceu em técnica, reduzindo o impacto da força e condicionamento físico, conseqüentemente aumentando o seu refinamento, exatamente no sentido contrário do que aconteceu com outras modalidades, especialmente praticada com kimono.”
o Brasil se tornou uma força na Luta Mundial, embora até hoje sem a organização que se faria necessário. Japão e Estados Unidos, caminharam juntos também, sem entretanto atingir o nível do Brasil. Um dos fatores que mais alavancaram a Luta, foi o ressurgimento do “Vale Tudo” (“No Holds Barred” ou “Mixed Martial Arts”) com diversos eventos importantes no Brasil, Estados Unidos e Japão.

Capoeira Angola, an ancient martial art of African origin, is one of the many cultural weapons used to break the chains of enslavement in Brazil. Played close to the ground, Capoeira Angola combines fluid, dance-like movements with kicks, head butts, tripping sweeps and the appearance of playfulness or vulnerability. Music is played on traditional instruments to accompany the players, to teach the rhythmic heart of the art, and also to mask its power. In the eyes of the enslavers it appeared to be a joking and playful acrobatic dance, but eventually its power was realized and Capoeira was outlawed. Death was the penalty paid by those caught playing Capoeira during the slavery era. For almost 400 years Capoeira Angola was taught and practiced in secret, and only in the 1930's did this African martial art become legal to teach and practice.

No dia 20 de março de 1996, foi inaugurada em Juiz de Fora uma modesta academia de musculação, com aproximadamente 150m2 que funcionava na sobreloja da lanchonete Sabor e Energia, na Avenida Rio Branco no centro da cidade. Em 1999 a academia Pumping Iron Academia transferiu a sua sede para a rua Espírito Santo, 783. A mudança de endereço e a visão panorâmica que agora se tinha da academia, provocou um aumento na procura dos nossos serviços, o que refletiu na triplicação do espaço da sala de musculação da sede, a qual hoje encontra-se com 450 m2. O número de adeptas à musculação aumentou e diversificou. Bruno então, passou a desenvolver treinamentos específicos para as mulheres interessadas em competir. E como resultado, colheu bons frutos, pois no ano de 2000 a atleta Cássia Franco conquistou o 1º lugar na Categoria Miss Fitness no Campeonato Mineiro e em 2003 Elaine Leite foi a Vitoriosa da Categoria Miss Figure. A equipe de professores vêm aumentando e se especializando a cada dia em trabalhos de hipertrofia muscular, perda de peso, condicionamento físico e reabilitação postural. Hoje trabalhamos com um publico mais eclético mas, não deixando de lado o treinamento de atletas para competições de fisiculturismo, artes marciais e vale-tudo. http://www.pumpingironacademia.com.br/

"O maior propósito do Aikido é o desenvolvimento espiritual do ser humano como um todo." Kisshomaru Ueshiba
"Já estudei muitos tipos de artes marciais - Yagyu Ryu, Shinyo Ryu, Kito Ryu, Daito Ryu, Shinkage Ryu e outras mais -, mas o Aikido não é uma combinação dessas artes. Todas as técnicas do Aiki funcionam por meio do ki." Morihei Ueshiba, fundador do Aikido. http://www.aikidoshikanai.com.br

A Associação Daruma Taishi foi criada em 1984 pelo mestre Renan Tobias e sempre teve por finalidade difundir os conhecimentos adquiridos pelo mestre para o maior número de atletas possível, sempre mantendo o bom nível, o respeito, a disciplina, o caráter e a honra dos grandes lutadores de artes marciais.
Com a criação da associação o Mestre Renan vem tentando desenvolver um método que assegure aos seus atletas o maior fortalecimento possível, tanto físico quanto psicológico para que possam seguir a sua vida com maior integridade.
Mestre Renan Tobias nascido em 1962 aos 12 anos começou a prática do Kung-Fu passando pelos estilos Shaolin, Hungar, Viet Vo Dao, dentre outros, já tendo passado pela capoeira. Formou-se em Karate Shorin Riu sem nunca ter parado seus treinos de Viet Vo Dao. Aos 18 anos serviu ao exercito na Brigada Paraquedista onde ministrou aulas para seus colegas. Após servir na Brigada de Paraquedista, onde ministrou aulas para os colegas, iniciou viagens e treinamentos pela América do Sul e Central onde teve acesso a outros estilos como Kook Sool Wam, Lung Shi Do e Ket Sugo. Continuou seus treinamentos de Viet Vo Dao na Asociacion Argentina de Luchas Orientales sob a supervisão do Mestre Carlos Eduardo Pantaleno (8º grau) e o Grão Mestre Cesar Negri (10º grau), duas das maiores autoridades Argentinas e Mundiais em artes marciais. Adquiriu, em novembro de 2004, o 5º grau, o que o eleva a condição de Mestre.
