From the Publisher
We’ve Got Your Ticket!
I
have commented in a few of my articles that I don’t watch TV very often (and for those of you that follow me on Facebook you know that I usually watch movies on fast forward, pausing occasionally to get some dialogue or action – but that’s a totally different article for another issue). Some people have asked me why I don’t like TV. On the contrary, I LOVE TV, in fact I have a hard time walking past it even when my kids are watching the Disney Channel. I think I’m addicted to it – that’s why I avoid it. I have to stay away from it so I can actually get stuff done. However, the other night I was “killing time” and I ended up on YouTube – we all know what usually happens then – time warp and I “woke up” 4 hours later! Okay, to the point… I stumbled upon a set of videos that showed cops fighting with various criminals. A few of videos had titles like: ‘MMA fighter fights cops’, ‘Criminal fights with Golden Gloves cop’ and ‘Don’t RNC me bro!’ (okay, I made up that last one but there’s probably a video on YouTube associated with it). Basically most of them showed some stupid criminals trying to fight with the officers who were trying to subdue them – and it usually didn’t end well for the bad guys. One guy got knocked out cold, another guy ended up in a guillotine and there was even a head kick. I couldn’t help thinking about some of the well-trained officers we have fighting in NM - boxers, grapplers, and MMA practitioners. These are guys who train to fight just in case they have to literally fight for their lives when they give a ticket or pull someone over – so this month we put them in the spotlight in our second installment of the Fighters in Combat series - COPS. This past month we were also lucky to have tickets to a great day of activities with Grapplefest and the Gold Rush boxing event all happening on the 28th. We would like to thank Golden Girl Promotions for giving us some tickets to give away in multiple competitions. If you didn’t hear about the 6 sets of tickets we gave away then you need to make sure and follow us on Facebook (KNUXXNM) and Twitter (@KNUXXNM) for the next time we have free stuff to give away – like free pizza, shirts and various other prizes. Also, for this month our “Ask a Fighter” section is only found online. Hector Munoz was asked a question from a local fan and we have an exclusive VIDEO response posted online.

Fight Commentary
“Too Many Mind” by David Martin
A
s far as movies go, I am not a huge Tom Cruise fan. That’s why this next line is surprising even to me. The Last Samurai is and will remain one of my favorite movies of all time. Now being a martial artist over four decades, a child of the Bruce Lee generation you could say, I have always been fascinated with the Samurai. Words like honor, duty, code, loyalty, discipline and respect barely begin to scratch the surface of these elite warriors. Their skill in all aspects of combat and warfare was superior. Hand to hand, weaponry, strategy and tactics were all part of the daily regimen. In addition to being skilled at the art of war, many of these men were artists and poets. Talk about balancing your life. In as much as the movie provided an historical perspective, there were also powerful messages seeded throughout. For example, the Art of Intimidation. When the new Japanese Army marched out to find the last remaining Samurai, they were already intimidated. Their fear led them to be on the wrong end of a serious ass whooping by the severely out numbered Samurai. Ever let fear scare you away from a desired goal? Hmmmm…maybe not you, but maybe someone you know. Moving right along. To me, the most powerful scene in the entire movie was when Cruise’s character, Nathan Algren, had been a “prisoner” in the village for an extended period and had graduated to actually training alongside his captors. In this scene, Algren continues to attack his opponent in a variety of ways and each time is soundly thrashed. After the countless time he’s tossed to the ground, the son of the Samurai Master comes to Algren and says, “Too many mind. Mind sword, mind battle, mind life. Too many mind.”

KNUXX
Later in the movie, the point made by the young man becomes clear. Algren is locked into a training battle with Ujio, the lieutenant that serves the master, Katsumoto. Algren (Cruise) is thumped several times about the head and shoulders during the first few rounds of “practice” with Ujio while the onlookers place bets on how many techniques it will take before Ujio thumps Algren again. In a moment, Algren closes his eyes and clears his mind. By relaxing and letting go of all the clutter he begins to see in the moment. He has small glimpses of the upcoming sequences that eventually find him in a draw with Ujio. This brings him a tremendous level of respect among his former enemies. If you’re walking around with “too many mind”, my suggestion is to first RELAX. You will have a difficult time clearing the clutter if you’re uptight and constipated. Start with several deep breaths. Inhale through your nose, hold for a count or two, then exhale slowly from your mouth. Continue this for at least a count of ten. (more detailed breathing exercises are taught at seminars and via one on one coaching.) Next, create a picture of one of your three “Definite Major Purposes.” Just for a minute see yours as being accomplished. Notice the feelings of clarity and power. Hold the image of your definite major purpose (or goal) in your mind and let those feelings of clarity and power take root. This simple exercise, if done daily, will aid you in maintaining your focus on what you want and keep the clutter out of your head. Sometimes “too much” is not a good thing.

Fighters in Combat
Brandon Gibson By Trula Howe
Y
ou’ve seen his face in photos and videos of the biggest stars in the UFC, Strikeforce and Bellator, holding mitts or coaching from the corner. His name is Brandon Gibson, and he is the assistant striking coach at Jackson-Winkeljohn MMA. A native New Mexican, with NM roots on both sides of his family, he grew up in the Southeast Albuquerque. Gibson was always interested in martial arts, even as a child, practicing on things and people. Seeing that he needed an outlet for his excess energy, his parents signed him up at Ed Erler’s Martial Arts & Karate when he was 6-years-old. Since that time, there has not been any period of time longer than one month, in which he has not trained at one dojo or another. Gibson’s one school sport was swimming, which he did for 3 years in high school, going to state as a senior. He attended UNM and studied Emergency Medicine, going on to Paramedic school and obtaining his EMT license. He worked as an EMT for a while, but after about a year, he decided the work was not for him. When he was 20, he was given the opportunity to manage one of the City of Albuquerque’s pools. “It was a better path for me, and I stuck with it.” He has worked for the City for the last fifteen years (starting that career at 15 as a lifeguard); and he is now the Division Manager for CABQ Aquatics for the City for the last 15 years. On top of that, he was recently named Chairman of a multiagency task force in the City of Albuquerque, to prevent drowning in the metro area.The task
force, organized as an educational outreach program, includes members of Albuquerque Fire Department, Albuquerque Police Department, and the Flood Control Authority. Gibson first began training at Winkeljohn’s Kickboxing in 2005, at the invitation of Hein Smit, and he has stayed with Coach Winkeljohn ever since. In 2009, after suffering a leg fracture, he was forced to focus more on his boxing, while his leg healed. It was right about this time, that Jackson’s Kids Coach at that time, Nick Gonzales, asked him to start working with the kids, to teach them striking. Coaches Jackson and Winkeljohn were all for it, and that was Gibson’ first step into the world of coaching. He taught the kids for about a year, working hand-in-hand with Gonzales, “we played well off each other.” He took an interest in working with the amateur fighters, and Coach Winkeljohn began to teach him how to hold mitts. He worked with amateurs like Hunter Tucker and Nick Urso (now Jackson’s professional cagefighters) and professional Travis Marx. He has progressed since then to Assistant Striking Coach, and for the last two years, has worked primarily with the professionals at Jackson’s, as part of the coaching team, working on game plans “I know these guys, I’ve trained with them for
years; I understand Jackson’s school system; I know the fighters, and I know their strengths.” As part of this coaching team, Gibson often travels around the world with UFC fighters like Jonny “Bones” Jones. With so many worldclass professional fighters, Coaches Jackson and Winkeljohn cannot often be with each fighter for the entire week before the fights. That’s where Gibson steps in, keeping them sharp and working with them daily, to make sure they are in top form when they step in the cage. “Lots of guys can draw X’s and O’s on a blackboard; but a real coach motivates and leads. I’m sure there are good mitt guys out there, but I want to be much more than that. I want to give my guys confidence; making them believe in themselves is what I’m about.” Gibson views his team at Jackson’s as more than coaches and fighters; he sees them as family. First and foremost, Gibson is a family man, with a supportive wife and 3 sons, so when he is not at work or the gym, he is spending as much time as possible with his family. “It’s definitely a balance, but Colleen is beyond supportive.” Fortunately, Gibson’s wife works for the new Jackson’s facility, Jackson’s Martial Arts and Fitness Academy, where she also works out, as does the couple’s oldest son. “I don’t care if he ever fights; I just want him to have the things that training can give him: focus, self-discipline and confidence.”

Grapplefest VI Recap by Trula Howe
H
undreds of grapplers came out to Rio Rancho High School on Saturday, April 28, 2012, to take part in Southwest Grapplefest VI, a double-elimination tournament for JiuJitsu practitioners of all ages, weights and skill levels. The matches began at 10:00am, with the children’s brackets, continuing to the Gi then NoGi competitions,
with contestants not only from all over the State of New Mexico, but also from surrounding states of Arizona, Colorado and Texas, both teams and individuals. One of the most remarkable individuals among the children was Hondo Gutierrez, one of FIT NHB’s Fit Kidz, who took first place in his advanced weight class. This amazing young man suffered a serious wound less than 18 months ago, when he was accidentally shot in the abdomen. Several weeks later, he had his drainage tubes taped up and was back on the mat, grappling.
MIXED MARTIAL ARTS CLASSES FOR KIDZ
TO THE FIT KIDZ AT THE SOUTHWEST GRAPPLEFEST VI. Make sure to look for us at the Southwest Grapplefest VII & Combat Sports Expo July 28, 2012.
The 2nd place winner of the beginner 50-lb division was first time Grapplefest-er, Jaren Marx, eldest son of Bellator fighter Travis Marx, who is also one of Jacksons’ coaches. One of the independent youth grapplers was Matthew Johnson (he took 2nd place in his division), son of professional cagefighter, Eric McElroy. This young man has participated in the last four Grapplefests, training with his father, as well as sixth degree Japanese Jiu Jitsu black-belt, Josh Lanier, who also participated and won first in his division. The story of the day, however, belonged to 94-lb Therese Garcia, a young woman who has been training
since January 2011, first at Lion Academy, now at Jacksons’ since January of this year. This young woman competed in the 125-lb and under women’s division, giving up 30 lbs on all her competitors. Most notably, however, Therese was the only blind competitor at Grapplefest. Although she did not place, this amazing young lady boldly worked the mat with both opponents; with everyone in the vicinity focused on the matches and cheering her on. They all cheered as she left the mat, and one little boy named Kevin, from Albuquerque Brazilian Jiu Jitsu took off his medal and gave it to Therese, who hugged him and thanked him.

Fighters in Combat: COPSby Heath Holmes
M
y relationship with police officers is somewhat trifurcated – respect, fear, and entertainment. I respect and appreciate officers and know that without them the world would actually be a worse place. I fear them – which is more a product of culture – and find it difficult to not think that every cop I see is out to get me. And I am incredibly entertained by them – who hasn’t watched and episode of COPS and found it impossible to change the channel. It is difficult to imagine the stressors that cops face and how they deal with them – fighting (specifically boxing) has long been viewed as an outlet for them. On May 23, 2008 the Wall Street Journal ran article that surprised many people entitled “Beat Cops: why police officers are becoming some of the world’s toughest fighters”. This article shocked many people who still viewed MMA as a savage sport akin to “human cock fighting” and, considering it was still against the law in 18 states at the time, it was a mildly controversial topic for a worldwide newspaper that normally focuses on business and financial information. The article was intriguing for many reasons. First it was written by a woman, Hannah Karp. Secondly, as mentioned earlier, it was featured in the Wall Street Journal. Thirdly, Hannah outlined her premise for the article by stating that “from the beginning, cage fighting -- an aggressive combination of punching, kicking, wrestling and carnage that is illegal in 18 states -- has had a fundamental challenge: Where to find the toughest, meanest, most violent people in the world who aren’t already behind bars. Increasingly, the answer is the police station.” This opening sentence set the tone of the article in such a way that the reader would suppose that Hannah would make the correlation that police officers are, in fact, violent and therefore they actually belong in a cage where “carnage” is taking place. But that wasn’t the direction of the article and, if you know the subject of
Former Utah State Trooper and Professional fighter Travis “T-Train” Marx

the piece, couldn’t be further from the truth. The article profiled a Utah State Trooper by the name of Travis Marx who is also an MMA fighter. The police have always had a relationship with boxing and martial arts. The over-played stereotype of the police and “punching stuff” has been the crux of many a joke and parody and it has been over-played in any movie that takes place in Boston or New York. But, as with any stereotype there is a little truth in it. Boxing has been used as “occupational therapy” for a long time for police – it’s a way to blow off steam, get a good workout and learn control and discipline. But only recently have they started seeing the merits of incorporating grappling (Judo, Wrestling, and Jiu-Jitsu) and other striking skills to their training as well. Just think of the last episode of COPS you watched where some bad guy leads the cops in a car chase, they finally corner him, he gets out of the car and now there is a foot pursuit. The officers usually corner him again and, with guns (or Tasers) drawn, order him to the ground where he can be cuffed and put in the patrol car. Occasionally though the criminal doesn’t run but will instead fight back – how do you react if you get punched in the face? This was the question that was posited to Travis Marx while still a green trooper. What would happen if a bad guy took a swing at him? How would he react, what would he do, would he shoot the guy? There were a lot of unanswered questions so Travis signed up at a local gym and was quickly forced into becoming a “professional” fighter (there wasn’t an amateur class at the time and Travis took a fight a month and a half after joining the gym!). He was hooked and soon after he moved to New Mexico where he now lives, trains, coaches, and prepares for his next Bellator fight. Of course not all cops become professional fighters and not all of them even “like” getting punched but out of this recent wave of “barbarism and carnage” a useful tool has emerged. Officers who get training in all facets of offensive and defensive combat sports are less likely to resort to violence and brutality. In fact, one Utah police station started having professional fighters come in and teach the officers moves from a range of martial arts, including punches and submission holds – what was the result? “Since launching the new program, the department says it has cut the use of Tasers by about one-third and the use of pepper spray by half”! It’s only a natural progression for po-

lice officers to eventually get into the ring or cage. They are being trained in these sports and they need a place to test and hone their skills. These skills help them stay safe – which keeps us safe as well. So next time you think about running from the cops, remember that it isn’t the 9mm or the Taser you should fear but maybe is the perfectly executed triangle choke. By the way – I found out that not all cops are out to get me.

Tools for Your Roc Body by Daniel Rocha
What is cellulite? How can I get rid of it?
C
ellulite is a conjunctive tissue alteration following fat accumulation within the adiposity skin layer which causes: the aging of the tissue following glucose action on the collagen and elastine fibers, disorders at lymphatic and blood circulation level facilitating water and toxins retention. What causes cellulite formation? 1.) Poor alimentation with excesses of: animal fat, processed sugars, and food additives 2.) Lack of regular physical exercise 3.) Hormone deregulation (puberty, contraceptives, pregnancy, menopause) 4.) Stress (leads to hormone hyper secretion) 5.) Coffee, alcohol and tobacco consumption … all in excess, that’s more than one daily COFFEE, can it help the cause? Simply, YES. In the morning, on an empty stomach, you may have coffee without added sugar or other sweeteners, as it increases fat burning rate. Over consumption is where you run into the problem of cellulite because it raises cortisol. The excess amount creates anxiety, nervousness and sleeplessness, whether you realize it or not. I can not tell you how many times I hear, “I can drink coffee all day, and it doesn’t bother me!” Yet they don’t realize what they are doing. Things NOT to do ...if you have cellulite! 1. Wear, at home, those very tight pants. You need circulation, wear loose warm-ups or shorts 2. DON’T GET Liposuction because that makes cellulite more obvious! 3. DO NOT eat saturated fats and fast foods!
www.KNUXX.com/nm | 505.750.0222
What can you do to prevent or help cellulite? The simple supplement: MRI Red Shred which contains clinically validated ingredients for weight and fat loss. It will improve your mood, boost energy and mental focus. It helps burn more body fat by also improving carbohydrate utilization. The cardio program: The StepMill. We don’t call this gauntlet because it is easy. It is brutal and 20min daily on this machine will surely cure your orange peel skin. Press thru your heels as this will work the glutes, pressing thru the toes will work the knees. The exercise: Squats… all and any form in high reps and done daily. All my girls work legs and glutes daily. It is not uncommon to do sets up to 50 reps. We usually begin with 3-4 sets of one style squats and end with another 2-3 sets of another form of squats.
