Já chegou á Escola Sónia Mateus a possibilidade da realização de exercícios de Fitness em Plataforma Vibratória. Bastam 10 minutos de exercícios para ser o equivalente a 1 hora de treino.
Eu próprio era bastante ceptico em relação a uma máquina de exercicios que embora eu não suasse como suo em uma hora de treino de Muay thai ou Jiu Jitsu me daria resultados equivalentes a uma hora de treino.
Experimentei e fiquei rendido. As plataformas vibratórias permitem-nos trabalhar zonas musculares que de outra forma seria impossível. Venham Experimentar.

Como escolher umas luvas de boxe

2012-04-05T08:19:00.002-07:00

1 .- O tamanho das luvas: onças.

No momento da compra de luvas de boxe, primeiro precisamos decidir o seu tamanho, que é baseado na onça. A onça se ao peso da luva. Embora a lógica luvas mais uma onça deve ser maior do que um com um menor número de onças, isto nem sempre é verdade. Em luvas de qualidade, a diferença de tamanho em termos de onça é claro. Mas as luvas de baixa qualidade, às vezes não é assim. Então, em parte, não há marcas cuja luvas são aprovadas pelas federações desportivas relevantes, entre outros.

Em luvas de formação técnica seja usada 10 ou 12 onças Para o treinamento técnico para compreender o trabalho do colega, com foco na técnica e contato controlado. No caso das mulheres também usam luvas de 8 onças, e as crianças usam luvas de 6 onças. Gratuitamente sessões de sparring com o contato pleno e luvas total, 16 onças, usado para aumentar a segurança e reduzir o risco de lesões.

2 .- O sistema de fechamento: corda ou velcro.

Como a corda, as luvas utilizadas cordas ou velcro. As cordas segurando o melhor luva, mas têm a desvantagem de necessitar da ajuda de um parceiro para ligá-los. No treinamento é necessário para retirar as luvas e rapidamente sem perder muito tempo com ele. Se você optar por corda luvas, cordas pode ser substituído por um elástico, não precisa da ajuda de um colega. O velcro permite a colocação e remoção das luvas se rapidamente. O velcro deve ser compacto quando fechado, ou seja, não deve haver velcro degola.

A maioria das luvas que são vendidas para o treinamento são velcro. A seqüência é usado principalmente em competições.

3 .- Cores

A cor da luva é a seu gosto.

Luvas categoria competição amadora são azuis com uma listra branca ou vermelha com uma listra branca. A branca indica a área da luva com a qual é permitida a greve. O azul eo vermelho está em correspondência com os cantos do ringue.

4. “O tamanho eo peso de uma luva

O tamanho das luvas é dada pelo número de onças da luva. Há luvas de 8 onças a 18 ou até 20 onças. O número de onças especificado na luva é o peso total da luva, o que acontece é que o peso é dado em onças, assim como o Inglês, que foram responsáveis na hora de fornecer as especificações das luvas.Na tabela a seguir vemos a equivalência das onças e gramas estar pesando uma luva:

8 oz = 226,79 gramas é o menor tamanho

10 oz = 283,49 gramas normalmente é o tamanho da concorrência na Europa

12 oz = 340,19 gramas de sparring para a formação e treinamento duro

14 oz = 396,89 gramas para todos os tipos de formação

16 oz = 453,59 gramas treinamento diário

18 oz = 510,29 gramas

Nong Thoom

2011-06-14T08:38:00.000-07:00

Parinya Kiatbusaba or Parinya Jaroenphon (born June 9, 1981), more popularly known as Nong Thoom, Nong Toom or Nong Tum(Thai: น้องตุ้ม ปริญญา เจริญผล), is arguably the best-known kathoey (male-to-female transgendered person) in Thailand. She is a former Muay Thai (Thai boxing) champion and has also worked as a model and actor.

As a child, she was already aware of her gender-identity. After a short period as a Buddhist monk, she started to train as a boxer, and eventually joined a boxing camp in Chonburi. Her goal was to make enough money to support her poor parents and to pay for a sex-changeoperation.

Her public life began in February 1998, with a victory in Bangkok's Lumpini Boxing Stadium, the center of the Muay Thai world. The Thai media were understandably intrigued by the novelty and incongruity of a make-up wearing 16-year-old kathoey, or "lady boy", defeating and then kissing a larger, more muscular opponent.

Although the Thai government had previously blocked kathoey athletes from participating in the national volleyball team for fear of negative reaction from the rest of the world, the Muay Thai establishment embraced Nong Toom, and tourism officials promoted her as "indicative of the wonders to be found" in Thailand. Perhaps not coincidentally, Muay Thai had been in a several-year slump at the time, and Nong Toom had greatly revitalized both media and public interest in the sport, as shown by increased ticket sales and stadium revenue.

She was profiled in several magazines, and appeared in many Thai music videos. Subsequently, her public profile began to fade, but her bouts with a foreigner, as well as her trip to Japan to fight a Japanese challenger, kept her face in the news. By fall of 1998, there was little coverage of Nong Toom to be found in either the mainstream or boxing media.

In 1999, Nong Toom caused considerable publicity by announcing her retirement from kick boxing, her intention to become a singer, and her plan to undergo sex reassignment surgery. Initially she was turned down by some of the Bangkok surgeons she turned to, but then the surgery was performed in 1999 at the Yanhee Hospital.

Her story is related in the 2003 film Beautiful Boxer in which she was portrayed by real-life male kickboxer Asanee Suwan. The film won several national and international awards, yet opened to limited success in Thailand. She came to United States theatres in 2005. The film's director, Ekachai Uekorngtham, also wrote the solo performance Boxing Cabaret for Nong Toom which she performed in the summer of 2005 at the Singapore Arts Festival and later in Bangkok.

Nong Toom's life as a ladyboy is also part of the book Ladyboys: The Secret World of Thailand's Third Gender by Maverick House Publishers.

Her story was also included in Julina Khusaini's National Geographic documentary Hidden Genders (2003).

On February 26, 2006, Nong Tum made a comeback as boxer. She fought an exhibition match for Fairtex Gym's new Pattaya branch, re-dubbed Nong Toom Fairtex Gym, by fighting a 140-pound contest against Japan's Kenshiro Lookchaomaekhemthong. Nong Toom won by unanimous decision after the three-round fight, leaving her rival with a cut near his eye from an elbow in the last round.

Nong Toom was planning another exhibition bout for sometime in 2006 with a female boxer Lucia Rijker, who portrayed the lethal "Blue Bear" in the film Million Dollar Baby.

She had a prominent role in the 2006 superhero film-action film Mercury Man, playing the title character's transgendered sibling and demonstrating her kickboxing prowess on the villains. In 2006, she appeared as a guest star on SBS television series "World Record Pizza" and Rallarsving (Sweden).

On May 31, 2008 Nong Toom had a fight against Pernilla Johansson at Rumble of the Kings in Stockholm, Sweden and won by decision.

In 2010, Nong Toom will open a boxing camp "Parinya Muay Thai" in Pranburi, Thailand which she will co-own and run with American actor/writer Steven Khan.
