Exclusive interviews
Mauricio Milani "Shogun" Rua
Q: Out of all of your most noted victories, Ricardo Arona, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, Quinton Jackson, Alistair Overeem, and Kazuhiro Nakamura which was your favorite?
Shogun: It's tough to say, every win is important at that time, as you focus a lot for each and every fight. I would say that my wins over Quinton Jackson was very important, because I went as an underdog and I feel it was there that people took me more seriously. But my win against Arona was also very special as I won the GP and it felt like the perfect closure for a year of hard work, and my win against Rogerio Nogueira was special because it was likely the toughest fight in my career.
Q: What is your favorite part of the JiuJitsuGirls website?
Shogun: I think the entire website is great, and having the fighters doing interviews and sharing the insights also adds a lot for a complete experience.Read more

Q: After your most recent victory over Dan Henderson, most people do not know who to pair you up with, if you can choose any opponent who would it be?
Silva: My clone!!!
Q: How has Anderson Silva, the man and the fighter evolved since the first time you walked into the ring in the beginning of your career?
Silva: I believe that I'm still the same person. Training a lot, when I'm not training I spend most of the time with my family. Actually I can answer this question better when I retire.Read more

Kimura From Guard
Kimura (a Brazilizn Jiu Jitsu term), is also commonly called the chicken wing (a wrestling term), reverse Americana or reverse keylock, these are all terms used to specify a medial keylock.
The lock is usually applied from mount, side control, the 69 position and guard (as seen here). The opponent's arm is pinned to the ground so that it is bent at the elbow, palm facing downward. The opponent's wrist is grabbed with the hand on the same side, and the opposite arm is put on the back side the opponent's arm, and again grabbing the oponents wrist and forming a figure four. By controlling the opponent's body and pushing the arm away from the attacker, pressure is put on the shoulder joint, and depending on the angle, also the elbow joint. In some variations the opponent's arm is brought behind his back, just as seen hear when the Kimura is executed from the guard position.
So, next time your watching a great MMA fight and your friends are telling you that you can never be a fighter... grab one of their girlfriends and demonstrate. And for all you faithful fans that don't train - if she taps- Let go!
