Kicking and spinning
Arkansas Democrat Gazette, AR
After completing their warm-up, the students, led by several of the older members of the group, form a loose roda, or circle. Spectators in the roda clap out a rhythm — Clap... clap-clap-clap-clap... clap-clap-clap-clap — while others pair up for jogos, or games, and take turns sparring inside the circle. With the nimbleness that comes with youth, they perform variations of the au, or cartwheel; the chibata, or spinning heel kick; the armada, or spinning outside crescent kick; handspins and other moves...

Editor's Blogg : The perfect body...by The Iron Guru

part one - Vince Gironda - The Iron Guru
When I was heavily into martial arts...(pre-injuries) I was into body building too. Not a giant body but a "perfect body" for my age and weight. I had started weight training with my football coach (at age 16), so I had built a prefect muscle foundation for my age to start with. So if I ever wanted to continue with other sports or weight train later in my life it would be easy to grow naturally to the next level.

So, later in my life I decided I wanted to get my black belt in Tae Kwon Do & Hapkido. But, I began weight training at the same time. The perfect body and a black belt! Wow...! And since I was in shape, it would help me to get my second degree black belt. I trained hard in martial arts ( until my injuries got the best of me), for about 8 years. I was lucky to find and study privately under Grand Master Jun Chong.

Then in my search for a weight trainer, the most amazing thing happened to me. I was lucky enough to meet the greatest trainer that ever lived...The Iron Guru - Vince Gironda!

Well this...is Vince Gironda.

The greatest trainer that ever lived!

That is what I mean by... The perfect body!
