En dos semanas estaremos asistiendo al Filfest de CrossFit 2010 en Miami y pasaremos unos días visitando a nuestro amigo Tom Furman en Ft. Lauderdale, para entrenar un poco de Kettlebells, Bodyweight training, Combat conditioning y por supuesto estando alrededor de Tom, Silat. Aquí hay una serie de tres videos de Tom en su casa con el Maestro de Penkat Silat, Dr. Harold Koning. Two weeks from now will be attending CrossFit's Filfest 2010 in Miami and will spend a few days visiting our friend Tom Furman in Ft. Lauderdale, for a little Kettlebell Training, some bodyweight training, combat conditioning and of course being around Tom, some Penkat Silat. Heres a little three video series of him with Silat Master Dr. Harold Koning.
Guru Dr. Harold Koning Pencak Silat Mustika Kwitang A small look into Mustika Kwitang. Guru Harold demoing on Tom Furmanhttp://www.physicalstrategies.com/
Hay evidencias de que Silat fue influenciado por las artes marciales de China y la India. Muchas de las prácticas médicas de la región y las armas se originaron en la India o China, y muchas técnicas son reminiscencias de la lucha hindú. A pesar de que numerosos mitos intentan explicar la institucionalización del Silat, la mayoría de ellos sólo se refieren a un estilo específico.Las primeras evidencias de Silat enseñadas en su forma actual se encuentran en Sumatra, donde, según la leyenda local, una mujer basó su sistema de combate en los movimientos de los animales que observó en lucha. Maestros todavía creen que los primeros estilos de Silat fueron creados por la observación de animales, y estos estilos derivan probablemente de la base animal indio de artes marciales.Varias bases se dicen que han sido introducidos por el monje budista Bodhidharma en el siglo quinto o sexto, desde la India hasta el sudeste de Asia a través de la base de Sumatra reino de Palembang.
Silat también se utiliza como un método de entrenamiento espiritual, además de defensa propia. Con el tiempo fue utilizado por las fuerzas de defensa de Langkasuka, Champa, Srivijaya, Beruas, Melaka, Makassar, Aceh, Majapahit, Gangga Negara, Pattani y otros reinos en el sureste de Asia. Sin embargo, Silat no se limita a una determinada clase social o de género, fue practicado por todos sin restricciones. Incluso hoy día, se enseña a menudo en las familias que han heredado las tradiciones culturales, tales como la talla en madera, danza, herboristería o la ejecución de instrumentos musicales.
A diferencia de otros marciales el PS utiliza como parte fundamental la música, cada movimiento del practicante es acompañado por una gran banda de músicos con instrumentos originarios tradicionales del sureste asiático. Esta banda se llama gamelán y tiene entre sus instrumentos gongs, xilófonos de madera y metal, tambores de madera y piel... Sin embargo, los que marcan el ritmo de la música no es la banda, si no los combatientes. Cuanto más rápido se muevan los combatientes, más rápida irá la música. Los combates se desarrollan en una arena cuadrada de 10 metros por 10 metros. Dentro de este cuadrado existen dos círculos, uno de 8 metros y otro de 3 metros de diámetro. Los combatientes se sitúan uno enfrente del otro, guardando una distancia de 3 metros (los del círculo del centro). El PS se basa en la esquiva y contra-ataque. Como todo arte marcial es una disciplina de lucha dedicada a la defensa personal.
¿Por qué esquiva? Para responder a esta pregunta hay que hacerse a la idea de que no siempre es fácil parar un ataque de frente. Por eso esta disciplina utiliza una esquiva que consiste en salir de la trayectoria del ataque para evitarlo bien sea dando un salto, desplazando el cuerpo lateralmente... de cualquier manera es posible evitar un ataque si el agredido se aparta de la línea de ataque o trayectoria de la agresión.
¿Por qué contraataque? Después de haber realizado la esquiva hay que neutralizar al adversario mediante un golpe, o una técnica para reducirlo. A la acción de responder a su ataque mediante otro ataque se le llama contraataque. En este apartado sale a relucir otra faceta excepcional en el PS, la técnicas de suelo. Pocos artes marciales trabajan y controlan tanto como el PS moverse cómodamente por el suelo. Este tipo de técnica crea un shock en el contrario al verse perdido ante la impotencia de poder enfrentarse a un contrincante que se mueve tan bien y rápido en el suelo como de pie.
There is an athletic saying that the legs are the first to go. Not too many sports use crawling as a method of locomotion so this is probably correct. A simple observation of society in general or a family get together specifically will give you an idea about movement and aging. The adults sit on chairs and avoid getting up to do things, they avoid squatting to pick things up, and they avoid reaching. The children climb, squat, crawl, run, and sit on the ground. Their youthful energy is hard to restrain and they don’t fear movement. The adults fear energy expenditure and avoid movements they are, "too old for". There are adults however who continue to participate in movement. Everyone knows seniors who dance, do Pilates, Martial Arts, Tennis, even Kayaking. Those individuals who age yet desire mobility seem unafraid to move or LEARN new things. That may be the key. The ability to remain childlike in mind and body can be summed up with the statement, "Always be a student". The ability to try new things keeps you mobile and young.
Some of the fundamental tools of any worthy endeavor should be inexpensive. Your own body and gravity would be a great start. The goal is to return to child like movement, so here are some ideas. 1. First, sit on the floor more often. Avoid chairs, but get comfortable sprawling on your stomach, back, cross legged or propped on an elbow. There is NO need to hold an uncomfortable position, but rather shift around and try a variety of positions while you watch TV, read, talk, or perhaps play with a child.
2. Practice sitting with your butt on your heels. Do it on a soft surface, no need to feel pain. This is a common posture in Asia and not as common in the Western world. Some of you will have difficulty doing it. Don’t worry, a certain amount of persistence is needed to feel comfortable. Individuals who do gardening often find themselves in this position. Some of you will need to put a pillow or pad between your butt and calves to reduce the stress on your quadriceps and knees. The size of this pad or pillow can be reduced as the tight muscles that inhibit mobility begin to relax and adapt. This process should never be forced but slowly cultivated.
3. Squatting on the toes would be the next habit you should adopt. Break in slowly. Knees that have not been fully flexed may be stiff and their may be some pain. Avoid the pain and be careful as you add this to your daily habits. If you have any compromised knee stability issues from injury or aging,…check with your doctor. This "habit" will begin to add some range of motion to your calves, quads, and hips. Move slowly and think of it as another posture you are re-aquainting your self with rather than an exercise. Start with slow holds, and gradually get comfortable with picking things up this way. If you are overweight, this move may not be appropriate since the added weight my contribute to knee instability rather than to aiding mobility and stability.
4. Bending is a move that we are told we should not do. This is rather odd since we are hinged at the hips and weights in excess of 1000 pounds have been lifted from this position. The fundamental concepts to adhere to would be folding at the hip crease, keeping the knees unlocked, bracing the abdominals, and keeping the back flat. With normal healthy body structure, this will come naturally. With modern adaption and the philosophy of, " I’m getting too old to do this," it is anything but natural. There is no need to hold the bottom position, but just remember the simple basics and don’t be afraid to pick something up.
5. Squatting on the heels is common in many cultures except this one. The skeleton, according to forensic anthropologists actually shows adaptation to squatting over a long term. This is one that you have to ease into. Weak hip flexors are overcome by tight hamstrings and getting to rock bottom seems impossible. There are many neurological tricks that can be used to hasten this process, but what is the point? Unless you are training specifically to be a baseball catcher or Olympic lifter use the slow and sure method of holding on to an object for temporary support, and easing into the squatting position. Focus on all of the previous posture changes listed in this article to get you ready to do this one. Let gravity and nature take it’s course with the natural adaptive responses of the muscles relaxing and accommodating the load. Don’t hurry this posture. You have nothing but time on your side. Slow and sure versus knee or back issues. These are the beginning steps of returning to childlike movement. The next phase is Grounded Mobility. How to move on the ground to enhance your lower body strength, flexibility, and functionality.

Este video es para que vean a nuestro amigo Mike Mahler, pressing un par de Kettles de 97lbs. Si, 97lbs. en cada mano! La primera vez que conocimos a Mike lo que más nos impresionó es que esperábamos que fuera enorme, por las hazañas de fuerza que hacía. Resultó que físicamente era muy parecido a mi, 5'11'' - 195-200lbs. Pero la fuerza y la condición física de un powerlifter y de un jugador de football americano. Luego al escuchar que era full Vegan, nos hizo pensar mucho de qué comemos y si de verdad nos estamos ayudando ó perjudicando con lo que comemos. Lean este artículo de él, no se van a arrepentir.This video has our friend Mike Mahler pressing a pair of 97lbs Kettles. Yes, 97lbs on each arm! The first time we met Mike, what impressed us the most was that we where expecting him to be huge, since we'd seen him doing some amazing strength feats. I turned out he was physically a lot like me, 5'11'' - 195-200lbs. But the strength and conditioning of a powerlifter and a football player. Then after hearing him say that he was a Vegan, it made us think about what we where eating and if in fact we where helping or hurting each other with what we ate. Read this article, you won't regretted.
There is no way that you can get big and strong on a vegetarian diet! I used to hear this all the time from my meat-eating friends. I say used to as I never hear it anymore from people that know me or from people that have seen my photos on my website.
Yes my friends, you can in fact get bigger and stronger on a vegetarian diet. You can even do it on a vegan diet (no animal products whatsoever). Just because the pot smoking, rice dream eating hippie vegetarian in Venice Beach, CA looks like he is from Ethiopia, does not mean that every vegan does. I have the strength and size to back up the fact that you can get strong and have a muscular body on a vegan diet. In this article I am going to discuss why I became a vegan and then go into how to plan your diet to pack on some muscle and increase strength.
When I was fifteen I read an interview with Harley Flannagan (lead singer of the legendary NYC hardcore band, the Cro-mags) in which he stated that he became a vegetarian to lead a more peaceful life and that one cannot talk about peace when they have a steak on their plate, as an animal died in agonizing pain to end up there. That really struck a cord with me and got me thinking about the thousands of animals that suffer daily on factory farms. Next, I visited Kenya with my parents and experienced a feeling of oneness with the animals over there. I realized that I did not want to contribute to the unnecessary suffering of other beings and I knew that I needed to make some changes. Finally, I saw a movie called “The Fly II” in which a golden retriever is mutilated in an experiment gone bad. That got me thinking about how animals are abused in labs and further solidified the new direction that I was taking. In addition, to giving up meat, I decided that I would make sure to purchase products such as: toothpaste, shampoo, soap etc that were not tested on animals.
I gave up meat gradually. I stated off by giving up all meat except fish. Then I gave up fish, but continued to eat eggs and dairy. Once I realized that most eggs and dairy products came from animals that lived miserable lives on factory farms, I gave up all animal products. That was ten years ago and I have never looked back. While I am an ethical vegan, there is no doubt in mind that a vegan diet is healthy and that I can get everything that my body need for my intense lifestyle. Regardless, like any other diet, planning is required.
The number one thing that people always ask me is where do I get my protein. Many vegans that I have met make the mistake of thinking that you do not need much protein at all. I even had one guy tell me that only 5% of one’s diet should come from protein. Of course this guy looked like Don knots and would be blown off like kite if a strong wind came by. I had another guy tell me that I can get protein from a cucumber and that I should not even worry about it. Of course, this guy was not in shape either and was in no position to give me nutrition advice. We have to be much more sensible than that. Especially, if we expect anyone to give up meat and adopt a vegetarian diet.
Telling people that they can get all of the protein that they need from eating spinach and leafy green vegetables is impractical. Just because it works for the gorillas does not mean that it will work for us. Not getting enough protein and thinking that only 5% of your diet needs to be comprised of protein are sure fire ways to be spindly and weak for the rest of your life. Now I am not saying that you need two grams of protein per pound of bodyweight like the bodybuilding magazines state. That is way too much protein and a case of overkill. For athletes, 0.7 to 1 gram of protein per pound of lean muscle is optimal for increasing strength and size. For example, if you weigh 180lb and have ten percent bodyfat, then you should shoot for 150-160 grams of protein to build more muscle. If you want to maintain your size, then 100-120 will probably be sufficient.
Next, vegans like anyone else need to load up on healthy sources of fat. Without enough fat in your diet, your skin will dry up, your energy will plummet, and you will look like death. Getting 20-30% of your calories from fat is a good way to go. Load up on healthy fats such as: flaxseed oil, olive oil, almonds, walnuts, almond butter, and avocadoes. Also, vegan diets are free of all saturated fats, which is great for the most part. However, some saturated fat is required for optimal health, so get some coconut oil or coconut milk in you diet as well.
Finally, make sure that you eat a variety of food to get a full array of muscle building amino acids. Some examples of good combinations include: black beans and quinoa, lentils and brown rice, almond butter sandwich, Rice protein/soy milk shake, green peas and almonds. Have some veggie burgers and other fake meat products from time to time, but make sure that the majority of your diet comes from fresh organic food.
Here is a sample of my diet:
Breakfast
3 tablespoons of Rice Protein Powder (nutribiotic brand) with 8oz of almondmilk and 8oz of soy milk. I add ½ cup of frozen mango or strawberries tothe mix and one tablespoon of coconut oil. I also add in two teaspoons of Vitamineral Green
Mid afternoon snack½ cup of almonds and ½ cup of raisins
Late afternoon snackTwo Veggie burgers with olive oil and some Sprouted Bread (“Ezekial” or "Man’s Bread)
Post Workout Shake
3 scoops of Rice Protein Powder with 8oz of oat or rice milk. I throw in 1 tablespoon of flaxseed oil and ½ cup of frozen fruit.
Dinner
Mixed Green Salad with 1 tablespoon of olive oil or one avocado.
One cup of lentils steamed with squash, carrots, tomatoes, mushrooms, and some tofu. One tablespoon of olive oil is added to the mix.
One cup of quinoa A pear or apple Some Dark chocolate for dessert and some ginger cookies
Glass of red wine
Late Night snack
Peanut butter or almond butter sandwich and a cup of berries

Weight lifting is a cheap sport. You usually don’t need gym accessories like bar pads, gloves, straps or expensive clothing. Once you got your Power Rack, bar & weights, you’re ready to go.
! But there’s 1 important gym equipment accessory that people tend to overlook. Shoes. This post will teach you everything about which shoes you should wear and NOT wear for weight lifting, and why.
Wrong Shoes:Running Shoes. The air & gel filling is great for reducing impact shock from running. But bad for lifting. Running shoes will limit your strength & prevent good lifting technique.
Unstable. Soles are squishy so you can’t predict their behavior on each rep. This makes it harder to control your technique and lift properly.
Power Loss. The soles absorb the force generated against the floor instead of directing it towards moving the weight. You lose strength.
Dangerous. Higher risk of injury, especially with heavier weights, since the soles make it hard to balance yourself and are less stable.
Benefits of Good Lifting Shoes. Good lifting shoes have incompressible soles. They must be non slippery, have excellent support and fit snug. Benefits:
More Stability. Better traction against the floor and improved balance under the bar because the soles are hard.
More Strength. Your heels will sense the pressure of the weight better, which will make your legs contract harder.
Better Technique. Good lifting shoes will fix many technique issues. You’ll sit back better, your heels will stop coming off the floor, …
More Safety. Better balance, better technique, … All of it decreases the risks of injury during lifting.
Best Shoes for Squats. Depends on how you squat.
But the sole should always be incompressible for maximal stability, power transfer & technique.
Low Bar Squats. More leaning forward, less depth. Chuck Taylor’s are the best shoes for Low Bar Squats. Recommended by Louie Simmons.
Olympic & Front Squats. Torso is more upright, more depth. Shoes with heels make it easier to go deep. Examples: Adidas Adistar, Do-Win, …
Best Shoes for Deadlifts. The closer your feet to the floor, the less distance the bar has to travel and thus the more weight you can Deadlift. That’s why thinner soles are better. These should be flat & incompressible.
Barefoot. Can’t get closer to the floor than this. However barefoot is not allowed on competitions. You’ll usually have to wear socks or slippers.
Ballet Slippers. Less slippery than socks because ballet slippers usually have a rubber sole. But still very thin.
Chuck Taylor’s. Soles are flat enough to work for Deadlifts. However the bar will have to travel more distance compared to slippers.
Chuck Taylor’s. These are the best all around shoe. Chuck Taylor’s are efficient & cheap. And they will last forever as lifting shoes.
Hard Sole. Sole is thin, flat & incompressible. Your feet are close to the floor. You’ll feel your feet better during lifts: more stability & control.
Strong Canvas. This allows you to push your feet to the outside on Squats which helps keeping your knees out and activating your glutes.
Ankle Mobility. Full ankle mobility with low tops Chuck Taylor’s. If you buy high tops, leave the top part unlaced.
Do You Need Shoes With Heels? Olympic weight lifters wear shoes with heels because these make it easier to hit depth on Olympic lifts like Power Cleans, Olympic Squats, Front Squats, Overhead Squats, …
However for low bar Squats and Deadlifts, shoes with flat soles are better. If you’re serious about Olympic lifting, consider weight lifting shoes like Adidas Adistar or Do-Win. They’ll make things easier.
Barefoot Lifting. Lifting barefoot strengthens the small muscles of your feet & improves ankle mobility. I always lift barefoot except for Power Cleans and unless it’s too cold in my gym. I also walk barefoot all the time at home. Try lifting barefoot at least once. You’ll understand the importance of good lifting shoes. Is it safe? If a big plate falls on your foot, it will hurt whether you wear a shoe or not. Be careful and it won’t happen.
Vibram Five Fingers. The Vibram Five Fingers shoes are an alternative to lifting barefoot. They’re great for running & lifting, especially if your gym forbids lifting barefoot. Less great for Olympic lifts though since they have no heels.
Recommended Shoes for Olympic Lifting. If you’re going to do Power Cleans, Front Squats, Overhead Squats, High Bar Olympic Squats and Snatches, you’re better of with shoes with heels. Some brands: Adidas Adistar or Ironwork Do-Win VS Athletics Weight Lifting Shoe
