BJ Penn is a MIXED MARTIAL ARTS competitor from Wainaku, Hilo, Hawai'i.
He was the first NON Brazilian, black belt to win the Brazilian jiu-jitsu World
Championships('MUNDIALS'), in Rio.

  He didnt even have ONE point scored against him in that event! He had to
compete against several other expert black belts. Most of them had a LOT more
experience than he did.

  Next, he was invited to compete in the Ultimate Fighting Championship(UFC),
after having only one pro fight!
  He has fought in the UFC 3 times last year and has stopped every opponent in
the first round!
  His 2nd opponent, Din Thomes, was TOP TEN ranked and had already beaten the UFC
champion, Jens Pulver, by submission. His 3rd opponent was a former World Shooto
Champion and #1 ranked lightweight fighter in the world, Caol Uno.
  BJ knocked him out in ELEVEN SECONDS FLAT!
And, I mean OUT!

In his most recent performance he just beat the #2 Lightweight in the world,
Takanori Gomi, by rear choke in the 3rd round at Rumble On The Rock 4, in
Honolulu, Hawaii! It was only Gomi's (the former SHOOTO World Lightweight
Champion), second loss and the first time he has ever been submitted in a fight!


  He has been labeled "The Phenom" and "The Prodigy"... Join us and find out why!

Welcome to our new group!

   For those of you that were already a member of the

BJ PENN FAN CLUB http://groups.yahoo.com/group/babyjaypennfanclub/

  , you can see we moved all of our martial arts, historical photo
albums to this new group.

   For those of you that are new...

    you can enjoy learning about the rich martial arts culture and
history of Hawai`i by reading the captions of each photo in our
Photos section.
There's an album for each different type of fighting art.

   Everyone should be able to find pleasure from reading about where much of
America's martial arts 'roots' started.

   Being made up of mostly an Asian culture, Hawai`i was a
hotbed/melting-pot of 'Eastern' philosophical ideas and teachings.
Hawaii's largest Asian communities being Chinese, Japanese,
Okinawan and Filipino, is why you'll find mostly a mixture of
fighting styles from these cultures. Being part of America meant
that they were exposed to arts such as Western Boxing and wrestling as well. And
most of them also have a background in the native Hawaiian art of Lua.

There are also considerable populations of Portuguese & Spanish, as well as,
several different pacific island peoples.

   These have all blended together into what some locals have
affectionately termed as a "chop suey" culture. I've even heard
Filipinos call it a "halo-halo"(mix-mix), culture...referring to a
delicious Filipino type of milk shake were you mix together all the sweet fruits
and flavors before enjoying it. That seems to me to be a very good way to
describe Hawaii's unique way of life and people!

   With such diversity, one can only imagine how many different
fighting styles must have been taught on any one island!?

   Men like Seishiro "Henry" Okazaki, who came from a very strict Japanese
background filled with discipline and codes of honor and was often restrictive
in it's allowance of foreigners to be taught it's secret ways and martial arts.

   But, he, and many other men like him, were in a place that was
filled with diversity of races and ethnicity.
   It was men like Okazaki, Hawaiian-born James Masayoshi Mitose & William
K.S.Chow that first taught the Asian arts to foriegners.

These three men could really be considered the 'FATHERS' of
Hawaiian/American martial arts!

   It was then their students that took what they had learned and
introduced it to the rest of America when they left Hawaii and came to the
mainland...

       ...men like Ed Parker, Adriano Emperado, Wally Jay, Al
Dacascos, Samuel Alama Kuoha, and so many others.

   If you've ever been a student of KENPO/KEMPO or JUDO/JU-JUTSU(and their many
off-shoots), then you should be thankful for the efforts of these early, martial
art's pioneers of Hawai`l.

    Any comments and contributions are very welcome!

  The rate in yaw yan pasay is P5,500 to become a life time member,
but this could change anytime. becoming a lifetime member will anable
you to train in any other philippine yaw yan gym, and you will no
longer be required to pay any monthly dues. the gym is open
practicaly every day. I would suggest that you talk to the gyms
director Prof Saladin personaly. I joined yaw yan pasay just last
month. My training sched is every morning of tue, thru. and sat. I
hope I have been able to extend some helpful information.

He's doing great. I just talked w/  him last week.

Chicago Big Connections Wild Halloween BBW BASH

The Defensor Method
http://www.defensormethod.com
Filipino Kali-Eskrima Academy of Chicago
Founded by Guro Nate Defensor

http://www.lindasbigconnections.com/chicago/events/halloween2003/wild
halloweenbbwbash.htm

The Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) is several thousand years old,
though, have only become popularized in the last few decades.  They
are usually known as Kali, Escrima, and Arnis (de Mano).  The
various styles are as diverse as the 7,000 islands that make up the
Philippine Archipelago. They are a very comprehensive system that
contain up to 12 categories of weaponry.  In general, the first
training method/weapon is the stick.  Any technique done with a
stick can be done with an empty hand, knife or any other weapon.
Thus, it is a very practical and interchangeable martial art,
viewing any weapon as just the extension of the hand.  This method
will be demonstrated as well have some audience precipitation.
