Martial Artist: Zug Zug(I name him Zug Zug)
Why: The first human to fight. Nobody knows who he is or when he lived....but he sure as hell existed somewhere at sometime, most likely armed with a stick or a rock.

Martial Artist: Manuel Dos Reis Machado
Manuel dos Reis Machado, better known as Mestre Bimba was born on November 23 1900 in Bahia, Brazil. Mestre Bimba began playing capoeira on the shipyard docks where he went to work with his father.His father was a famous batuque champion.(Batuque is an African dance/fight with the object of trying to take the opponents balance.His Capoeira teacher was mestre Bentinho .After teaching the traditional Capoeira (Angola style) Bimba created a new style of Capoeira : Capoeira Regional. His new style was a combination of Batuque , Savate, Capoeira Angola an other martial arts. At this time capoeira was not recognized as a sport and it was still illegal.
In 1932, Mestre Bimba founded the first Regional academy, in Engenho Velho de Brotas(Bahia), the poor neighbourhood where he grew up. His strategy was to convince
government officials that Capoeira was a valid form of self-defence that could be used to train police and the military. He and some of his students gave a demonstration at the Gouvernment Palace and impressed the officials and the president so much that they immediately gave him premission and a licence to open his acadamy, which he did officially in 1937. It was the first Capoeira school in the world.
In the years that followed, Mestre Bimba taught thousands of students the style of Capoeira Regional. Many of them opened academies in other parts of the world and later in America and Europe. In 1970 Bimba moved to the southern part of Brazil with the hope of creating a stronger school. Mestre Bimba died on January 4,1974 a poor and somewhat disillusioned Capoeira master whose fame and recognition unfortunaly came years after he died. Today Capoeiristas, off all styles and schools, are indebted to the work of this great master.

Kyokushin seems very interesting and i really want to try it out =) Shouldn't you broaden yourself a weee bit more then skipping through karate styles? -_- well sorry for wanting to try some other karate style. Just that I thought that Kyokushin would help me along the way of Shotokan, by the way, isn't Kyokushin and Kempo karate the same? I read about the founder and the stories were just the same. Besides there is a Kempo school in the neighbooring town, that's why I wanted to try it, besides they just started an Aikido school in town, so i'm gonna check it out, if it isn't a McDojo school i'm thinking of starting, altough i'll have to choose between my Shotokan and Aikido IF I do.

Dr. David Rheudman (i thinks thats how u spell his name)
He modified sambo into an international art and won many chapionships over his year, including olympic games in sambo and judo. Also he opened the infamous Sambo 70 school in Russia, which unlike a dojo is an actual eductaional highschool/college which also hold the teaching of sambo as a mandatory class.

Firstly, the lock is NOT named after him, its been in exsistence since like, the 9th centurary? so next time you go to "Kimura" someone remember that they've been Samurai pulling that (and alot more s**t then you can see on TV) off for centuries upon centuries. And secondly, I do believe I've made a post on this before.

Who: Guro Dan Inosanto
Why: In the next nine years of training with Bruce Lee, Dan learned the reasons for his frustrations and adapted what he had previously learned to Bruce's philosophy of combative efficiency. Mists cleared and curtains lifted as he began to apply the principle of what would become known as Jeet Kune Do to the Judo, Karate, and Escrima that was a part of him already. While he was studying with Bruce, he continued to work with other instructors, Ark Wong among them. He could study different arts at the same time because, as Bruce taught him, the basis of his own personal "style" came from within. With the background he had in the martial arts and with Bruce Lee as a sounding board, he was able to "take that which is useful and discard the rest."
With perhaps the exception of a modified version of Western boxing and Chinese Wing Chun, Kali was the art he adhered to most. Perhaps he favored Kali because the principle involved were so closely aligned or easily adaptable to the principles in Jeet Kune Do.
When Bruce Lee died in 1973, Dan was still working with a small group of martial artists that Bruce was teaching before he went to Hong Kong in 1970. Men from the group, Daniel Lee, Richard Bustillo and Jerry Poteet among them, gave Dan the opportunity to continue his Escrima, Kali, Arnis and JKD training and develop a personal "style" of movement found nowhere else in the world. Since one teaches from what one knows, Dan's JKD students today study Kali as part of their regular training, but the principles they are taught don't confine them to any martial art or style. Any one of them may choose another way and Dan will smile in the middle of a conversation and say, "If it works, use it; whatever you want."
