Ginástica Natural combines the techniques of stretching, flexibility and respiration of hatha-yoga, the ground movements of jiu-jitsu, and the natural movements of the human body. These images were taken by fighter Fabio Gurgel trained by
me, about 15 years ago. We can see in this training the great
influence of the ground movement of jiu-jitsu. This characteristic is what led
Ginastica Natural to be known among the great gym goers. I trained alone for
several hours a day to create the exercises. "I always looked to explore my
creativity, intuition, and discipline to the max, to execute these movements.
Hatha Yoga helped better my concentration and flexibility, but these movements
where developed in a natural form, without a programmed sequence or any other
kind of influence, but according to my characteristics and
concepts."NOTE: The original Ginastica Natural video by Peter Lakatos was originally posted here but was subsequently removed by the author for unknown reasons. The first three comments below concern that video. Fortunately, the video you see now was by the actual creator of Ginastica Natural, so, everybody wins :)

Sorry guys! I don't know what happened to this guy's video, he pulled it down right after I embedded it. Why do you think that happened?

No offense - I love MMM but, this was a Dragon Door associate - I would think that they pulled it down when you linked here - your commercial site (competition).

Yeah, I figured that, but that kind of separatist, "our way or no way" thinking is stupid and counterproductive. Saying that My Mad Methods is competing with Dragon Door is like saying that Men's Fitness is competing with Smith Machines. We simply try to provide information so people can determine the best way to train theselves.
