Aptitud cardiovascular, fuerza, velocidad y agilidad: solo algunas de las cualidades necesarias para sobresalir como artista marcial.

Agregue el elemento fuerte de entrenamiento mental que se incluye en la mezcla y obtendrá una forma de vida, no solo un pasatiempo. Aquí echamos un vistazo a algunos de los mejores blogs de deportes de combate que existen. Inspirador, original y nada más que una revelación.

Rosie Sexton

Rosie ‘the surgeon’ Sexton is scary for two reasons. First, because she’s so brainy: She has a first class degree in maths from Cambridge and a Phd in theoretical computer science from Manchester. Second, she’s a cage fighter.

Oh and along the way, she qualified and now works as an osteopath. A professional fighter since 2002, her record is 13-3. We’re sure you’ll agree – the sums ‘add up’ to a great career.

Laboratorio de combate

What martial art includes cold water dousing, fasting and packs a punch that’s famous for its force? Answer – the Russian martial art, ‘Systema’.

If you fancy learning the fighting techniques practised by Joseph Stalin’s own personal bodyguards then this is the site for you. The site’s owner, Paul Genge is a 5th dan Bujinkan Taijutsu who took to Systema back in 1999.

Una gran cantidad de información aquí para cualquier persona interesada en el combate cuerpo a cuerpo, al estilo soviético.

Joshua Palmer

A la tierna edad de 23 años, Joshua pesaba 146 kg gravemente fuera de forma.

At the time his sedentary job, coupled with a sedentary lifestyle promised just one thing – an early heart attack. But then he discovered Jiu Jitsu, and MMA. Not only is Joshua a BJJ fanatic, but the architect is now also a combat sports commentator with broadcast credits from TV networks such as Fox, ESPN, Sky Sports, Setanta under his belt.

And what colour belt is that? You’ll have to read his blog.

Decisión dividida

‘MMA is for life not just for Christmas’. So says the strapline on this excellent blog. If you want the lowdown on life in the cage, here’s where it’s at.

There are interviews, profiles, and news of upcoming seminars with such luminaries as UFC fighter Rosie Sexton. Based in the North West, blog authors Simon Caffery and David Gillibrand aim to give a little back to their favorite sport – with an emphasis on supporting local fighters.

Como dicen: "merecen tanto reconocimiento por sus esfuerzos como los mejores profesionales en el escenario mundial".

Pensamientos llamativos

¿Quieres ver algunas de las últimas hazañas del envejecimiento de todos los héroes de acción, Steven Seagal? Bueno, has venido al lugar correcto.

Here you’ll find some striking Youtube action of the 7th dan black belt in Aikido showing both sides of his somewhat eccentric personality. Choose between watching the aging actor belly dance or demonstrate Aikido.

Aquí también hay mucho contenido de artes marciales más serio.

Escribir cruz

Ever wonder exactly why talents like Floyd Mayweather and Wladimir Klitschko get knocked by detractors? Write Cross is a blog that discusses all the issues in and around boxing, so there’s plenty to stimulate debate here.

According to the author – both fighters would have excelled in any era, but Klitschko has no effective competition. As for Mayweather – world titles in five different weight classes is impressive to say the least – but has he deliberately avoided the Filipino, Manny Pacquiao?

Artes marciales ACS

Martial arts are often peppered with words of wisdom from wise senseis past and present. But which famous person said this?

Sigue intentándolo, aguanta y siempre, siempre, siempre cree en ti mismo, porque si no lo haces, ¿quién lo hará?

An eclectic mix of posts by this martial arts instructor and self styled, ‘blogonator’ – musings on martial arts, sports and life in general. The quote was from the one and only Marilyn Monroe. If you want to know what else she said – better read the blog.

Arte de escribir sobre peleas

How long will Cain Velasquez be the UFC heavyweight champion? Some, think he’ll be little more than a flash in the pan, but does this blogger share the same view?

Perhaps not, as he points out: in many ways, ‘his [Velasquez] outstanding cardio is a superior weapon to his strong wrestling and solid striking.’ A phenomenal work rate in a heavy weight is hard for an opponent to handle.

Algunos puntos interesantes bien planteados.

Verso de MMA

Dioses de la guerra: los mejores luchadores de los deportes de combate.

Quite a title for a blog post – and OK, so Ali is a shoe in for the title of greatest boxer of all time, but what of the other martial arts. Ernesto Hoost for kickboxing? Taekwondo – Steven Lopez? Have a look and see what you think.

El Blog del fotógrafo de lucha
