Kiwi USA Champs & Martin Rooney!

*********************

Got some

breaking news....

*********************

This past weekend while I was having quite a few beers 3 Gracie Barra boys won medals in the USA Grappling champs! 

 

What makes this different is they are from Gracie Barra Auckland, New Zealand whanau/family & that is the shiz in my mind!!!

 

Results for our Kiwi Brothers in the All American National


From left to right


Phil got Gold in Blue belt division!! 

Steve Oliver Silver in Black belt & Absolute division!

Brandon Ropati Blue Belt Gold & Silver in Absolute (Brandon also went to Abu Dhabi World Champs & placed 3rd this year!!)


 


Congrats boys, I would like to add that I rolled with all but Brandon when I visited Gracie Barra Auckland to enhance their training for this comp! Actually, true story while I was at Gracie Barra in Auckland!

 


Steve & I were talking & he asked, "have you rolled with Brandon yet"?


I replied with absolute conviction, "f#$% off, I'm struggling to keep up with guys that aren't as athletic & powerful as he is, you think I'm going to roll with him"! 

 


Haha my bad now, I should of rolled with Brandon because their is nothing like "feeling pressure" to understand something greater!!!

 

Anyway, great stuff again to our fellow warrior brothers representing NZ on the other side of the world!!!

Martin Rooney

Coaching Call

**************************

I've just got off the phone with Martin Rooney Training for Warriors & Parisi School he has been the strength & conditioning coach to the Renzo Gracie Team, Roger Gracie among many other Pride & UFC fighters. I've just finished his 2nd book on MMA Conditioning called Ultimate Warrior Workouts this was a follow on from his first awesome book/DVD Training For Warriors!


 

Anyway, this is the first coaching expert you will get when you join our EHP Warrior Tribe that will be available very soon for a small fee of $9.95US!

 

Because it's such a low cost to join, I'm limiting the amount that can join to "test drive" it before the price goes up! 

 

How many opportunities are you going to get to listen to REAL WORLD Experts that I learn from and base some of my work from? Learning from those that have paved the way for you is a sure fire way to shorten the learning curve!! Get on it when the times come or be part of the "would'a, should'a, could'a" crowd that piss & moan that they CAN'T do it because of _____________! 

 

Here's a taste of what we talked about;


1) YouTube Warriors education or entertainment?


2) His favorite place he visited in his 2nd book & why?


3) The martial art that is entrenched in WORK ETHIC!


4) Where does Aerobic conditioning fit into his training model, if at all?


5) His FOUNDATIONS for Combat Training, this may surprise you as it doesn't start with "weights"!


6) Training SPEED for combat warriors & where it fits in to his training model!! (I will be implementing this as I use too & have left it out due to space/winter etc... but with spring knocking on our door, I'll look to bring this back into our training!)


We also discussed other elements to training that will raise your combat I.Q. and therefore raise your training performance! Imperticular enjoyed his strength & speed aspect to his training, where he leaves out "power" in it's true sense to allow the fighter to perform it in their own training, therefore (I'm using my words) Martin trains the 2 ends of the spectrum & the combat athlete by default bridges the gap of "power training" on the mat/ring.


Again this is just a taste of what I'm recalling from our discussion, when the time comes you will have access to him and other like minded combat coaches that train real people & have been doing it longer then YouTube became the place for "educa-tainment" (education & entertainment as one :-)


***********************

Closing

***********************



Martin is keen to come to kiwi land & I'm thinking of bringing him over so we can all benefit from a coach who not only teaches but DOES & DOES before the Internet became "cool"!! Let me know by posting below if you would be prepared to pay for someone like Martin to come to a city near you in early 2011 or if you have more questions about Martin or anything combat, just fire away below!!!


Again to our whanau/family of Kiwi Warriors from Gracie Barra who made the trip to Las Vegas not only did you represent with honor I'm sure but you brought us home some medals & showed the US Grappling Nation that we are to be respected on the mat, ka mau te wehi!!


Raising the Combat I.Q. of those that are prepared to re-look at their belief systems of how to train for combat and then put their new belief system to work through ACTION!!!

    Thanks for your comment Hamish, Auckland obviously one of the places we would come plus I’m thinking of opening it up to other sports/trainers as Strength & Speed are his “specialty”
