Dear friends of Limalama Natural System:

2014 has arrived and with it, new goals to make, new dreams to live
and new projects to be carried out.
I think it is a good time to stop along the way and look back for a few
seconds the path already taken; we also look forward to observe and
confirm that we are on the right path, a path full of future, dreams,
hard work and great joys.
Natural System has not stopped around this time of growth,
overcoming problems that have been found along the way and fighting
to be better every day. It's time to thank every one of the teachers
who trust their work in this organization and every effort to become
better every day.
Publicist:
Elideth Guevara
Its difficult to overcome the tough moments, but with everyone's help
we are stronger.
Translators:

Adolfo Rodrguez
Friends, never forget to stop along the way to look back and see all
we have come together, and of course, look forward to keep that
future in mind, our goals, our projects and all the dreams we want to
live.
Thanks to everyone who every day make it possible and keep beating
the heart of Natural System.

between
members of the family and
considered sacred. His uncle,
the one who most influenced
him in his studies, worked
extensively with him in
knowledge of the underlying
concepts

these
techniques.

From Natural System Limalama we make this small tribute

In memory of the Grand Master
POLYNESIAN MYTHOLOGY
(PART 1)
MAUI,
POLYNESIAN SEA GOD
The God from Polynesian

mythology, despite the
smallness of his stature
who apparently was, was
not afraid to anything or
anyone. It was endowed
with
magical
powers.
Approximately,
twenty
stories were written about
his exploits, showing him
as ingenious, brave and
womanizer.
When he was born,

Taranga,
her
mother,
wrapped it with a lock of
her hair and threw it into
the sea because he was
born
premature
(this
people in ancient times
had some habits which
we
consider
very
barbaric). But then, an
ancestor rescued Maui
from the sea, returned
him to Earth and to his
family.
His
mother
accepted this prodigy and
called it Maui tiki tiki a
Taranga, which meant:
Maui formed in the
highest bun of Taranga.
According to the legend,
the best-known feat of
Maui was the creation of
the Pacific Islands in
which
currently
live
Polynesians. Islands, he
caught from the bottom of
the sea with the help of a
magic hook. According to
the Maori people of New
Zealand, Maui caught the
Sun with a noose and hit
it with his invincible
weapon: the jaw of a
female ancestor.
on
its own
course,
prolonging the duration of
the day.
The people of Tonga say,
that sometimes the sky is
dark because Maui used a
poker to raise it. While
Maui was preparing an
oven in the earth, the
Poker snagged in the sky,
which at that time was
much more lower than in
the present and with the
intention of having more
space
to
work
comfortably,
this
incredible
hero
just
moved the sky.
As a result of the brutal

beating, the Sun was so
weak that only could drag
Hawaiians believe that

Maui intended to impress a
woman, who wished to
conquer, with this feat.
Fascinated by women, his
mother helped him to
succeed
in
countless
adventures.
The
two
most
popular
stories of Maui are big

crimes committed by him.
One of these stories says
that stole from heaven a
celestial chicken to get the
secret of fire that she kept.
In the other story, Maui
tried to defeat Hine-nui-tepo, Goddess of death,
taking advantage when he
found her asleep. But he

could not get it because
the song of birds awoke to
the goddess, who pulled
the body of this legendary
hero,
until
kill
him.
Hawaiians say blood of
Maui gave the color to the
shrimp and the Rainbow.
ALBERTO J. LPEZ LEO

I started my studies in Martial Arts at the
age of six, the only activity in such times
was Judo, a sport that caught my interest
over the years.
In 1989 I left my studies in Judo with a
brown level. About that year a sport
called Limalama arrived to my locality.
From then and now on is the sport that I

have been mostly engaged with and in
which I have based my martial philosophy
and has marked my life.
I have practiced other sports:
-Full contact.
-Capoeira.
-Karate Shoto Kan
-Kiokushinkai
-Jiu Jitsu
-Sambo
-Police Self-defence.
Ive shared training with the most

distinguishable professors of Limalama,
to mention:
But I have dedicated my life to the

teaching of this noble sport that is Lima
Lama. To me is a matter of proud being
able to share my knowledge of what Ive
learnt throughout my life and share my
experience within this Martial Art.

we are currently founding

we do not share the same

The second step, was to

give maximum coverage to
the system and teachers,
for it, was necessary to
structure a technical and
pedagogical basis. As the
program we received was

years to understand where
it was going and what

Logically, and with the

program in our hands, we
had to decide what would
be the best way to reach
people and convey the
entire system firsthand, so
was born the Natural
System
Limalama
Organization. To achieve
this, we created a website
where you can access to all
kinds
of
information
regarding the history of
Limalama in general.
In the website, we offer all
the information regarding
Limalama
system
that
currently is being trained,
which we have called Santa
Cruz system, honoring to
all Limalama teachers who
work with the style which
structured
the
teacher
Rigoberto Lpez, and so
many others who work also
with this style.

more

believe it is more dynamic
We have presence in
various countries such as
Mexico, Spain, England

aware that this system is
working in United States,
and we would love to
contact with the teachers,
exchange views and share
what for years has been a
commitment
and
our
passion.

We are aware that this

organization is the only
one that is having impact
at national and European

makes us work with down

My name is Sandra, I
began to train Limalama at
the age of 6 years old, Ive
always wanted to follow
the steps of my professor,
and nowadays I am the
instructor
of
children
groups.
Starting this new path in
my sports career, has
allowed me to grow, learn
and improve as a person, it
has also allowed me to
observe, study and look at
the childrens lifestyle in
the nowadays and the one
from time ago.
The children used to go
out to the streets to play
with their friends until late,
they would enroll to every
after school activities as
much as they could, they
made the most of their time
socializing and getting
along with friends, this
caused the children had a
good
physical
development. Today they
just want to be at home
playing videogames or
using the computer, there
are less children that
practice a sport and health
issues have arisen due to
this cause, they dont
socialize with their friends
as they used to, now they
prefer to do it through
social media, which make
the children worse in
reading,
writing
and
speaking, increases school
failure,
violence
and
harassment.
The practice of any martial
art helps the children in
concentration,
creating
habits that help in their
studies;
respect
and
education, making them
more
sympathetic
to
others, creating positive
attitudes
towards
the
society; confidence and
self-assurance,
making
them feel capable to face
any day to day situation
and fitness, giving their
bodies the flexibility and

encouragement that will
improve their physical
condition, reflexes and
motor-skills that favor their
development.
When
an
instructor
devotes his time to teach
this beautiful art, the best
reward that can get from
his students is looking at
the
gradual
progress
theyre getting, improving
and achieving their goals,
but specially looking at
them enjoying what theyre
doing.

DEFENSE AGAINST TWO PUNCHES
*CONCEPTS: With the right training a

devastating effectiveness can be achieved
to smash bones or vital points. You can
throw a punch with the fists, inner or outer
side of the hand, fingers, elbows, knees,
feet, forearms, head etc.
The effect of a strike to a vital point can be

achieved in two different ways:
A.
Localizing exactly where
the vital point is, for which strength wont
be needed.
B.
Punching hard to the
closest spot to the vital point. In this way,
the shockwave will affect indirectly. The
latter is the most common in self defense.
1.- The aggressor stands in front of us

with the intention to attack us with two
front punches.
26
2.- When the aggressor throws the first

punch, we anticipate a knitting deflection
(typical deflection of Limalama against two
direct punches) and move towards his
exterior angle of 45.
3.- The displacement continues until being in

a 90 angle facing the aggressor as we
execute the defense of the second punch.
4.- The arm that is used to deflect the punch

stays in the position to execute the first
attack and the leg controls the aggressors
leg causing him to lose balance.
27
5.- We wrap his arm with our attacking arm,

creating a second control that gives us
double security against the possibility of
another attack from the aggressor.
6.- Low kick to knee joint, causing the aggressor to fall.
28
7.- Continuation of the attack with knee strike

to his spine.
8.-The attack follows up with control of the

neck and shoulder, causing rupture of
cervical bones. (Performing this movement is
not advised due to high risk injury that it can
lead to).
9.- The aggressor ends

submission on the floor.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY
MIGUEL NGEL DAZ DAZ
5 Grade of Limalama
I was born December 19, 1975, in

Acapulco, Guerrero. At the age of 8, I
started my training in the martial arts; I
started with Karate Do achieving green
belt at age 10. Later I tried the Kung Fu
for a year, looking for a martial art that
was according to my physical abilities.
Finally, in 1988, I started my studies in
Tae Kwon Do achieving black belt first
Dan in the years 1990 to 1994.
Because my studies and responsibilities
as late teenager, I began to work to cover
my university studies, leaving the Tae
Kwon Do in a temporary pause.
In 1997 I joined the Lima Lama Polynesian

martial art; it was, in the year of 1998,
when I took my black belt exam next to
the founder Grand Master Tino
Tuiolosega and master Nibardo Sanchez

Osorio, in Ritz Carlton hotel, Cancun. In
2000, I studied the AG Matrix System
31
alongside his founder Albert Garza,

student of Grand Master Tino since 1950;
obtaining a firsthand Lima Lama system
next to the mentioned Masters.
The organization that I lead today is

Dragones Mayas and we are united to the
international organization Natural System
Lima Lama of Spain, in which the Grand
Master Tino, in adulthood, taught an
updated Lima Lama. Therefore, together,
with the masters of Spain Alberto Lopez
and Alfredo Lopez, We have agreed and
joined in the teaching and dissemination of
Lima Lama.

PREPARATION, AT ALL!
Here in Mexico we call it
chile de todos los moles
(pepper of every sauce,
meaning that they are
everywhere
to
call
everyones
attention).
Personally, I prefer to train
and prepare myself on a
daily basis, not only
fighting Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
or Muay Thai, Judo, Boxing
(English or American style)

or any other martial art, but
I look for the teaching of
those martial arts. That
distinguishing
approach
that makes us different
from the others. As my
master and teacher of
American Kenpo said to
me once:
There are exceptional black

belts, but very few good
teachers. Which one are
you? Which one do you
want to become?
My master of Hwa rang do,
Sabum ni Victor Garca
Hernandez told me once
while practicing in his
office: The important thing
of what we do here is to
become more and more
professional,
prepare
yourself gordo (friendly way
of calling me chubby, and

not, Im not chubby, not
anymore...), because there
are plenty outside ,but only
organization
and
preparation
makes
us
different.
The old man was right. It
has been three decades
since I practice martial arts,
Ive seen hundreds of
partners, schools, teachers,
instructors,
pseudoinstructors and many other
passing by and a lot of them

were good, some were
excellent, other just were.
I LOVE what I want, and I
want this to become a
professional training, and
thats why I prepare myself.
What about you?
BECAUSE I WANT TO BE A PROFESSIONAL

Before going deeper into the topic, it is of my interest to mention some of the benefits of a
good warm up:
Improves performance
Reduces the chance of injury
Improves concentration
Improves coordination and balance
It is normal that when we start training something new or when we become experts, we
forget about the importance of a good warm up, thats why I consider important to mention
these steps:
A.
Warm up:
a) Joint movement
b) Rising Heart Rate
c) Stretching and Elasticity
d) Explosive activation exercises
Warm up
The intention of the warm up is to rise the
bodys temperature and your heart rate as
well as wake up the muscle nerves and
mobilize the joints in order to prepare your
body for the training session.
Its true that in a real situation we wont

have time to warm up, but, isnt it the
objective of training to prepare us for these
kind of situations?
37
Even if it is for a short period of time it is

important to try to achieve the 4 steps of
warm up:
as jogging and raising the knees sideways.

Its common to swap step a) with step b) or
even mixing them. We just need to
consider not doing forced movements in
this stage.
a.Joint movement.
c) Stretching and Elasticity
A good advice for this stage is doing it in

an orderly manner; in other words, carry on
a sequence starting with the head to toes
and vice versa. This advice will help not to
forget any part of the body and at the same
time send the signs of order and
concentration to the brain. In the majority
of my classes I usually start with my
students from the head towards the feet
(head, upper back, shoulders, elbows,
wrists, waist, lower back, hips, knees,
ankles).
b.Rising the heart rate

This stage consists of increasing the blood
flow to the muscles, rising the bodys
temperature and heart rate. This is possible
when you work the group of large muscles
(chest,
back,
legs)
with
repetitive
movements. My preference here is jogging
with turns to lateral movements, lifting
knees up, taking the ankles to the bottom
38
In this stage is important to get the best

stretching of the muscles and the
ligaments so the movements are as free as
possible, this is important because it will
improve your performance and will ease

your movements. Besides it is considered
to be one of the most important steps to
avoid injuries.
In concordance with step a) Joint
movement, it is advised to have an order
while you stretch. With my students I
always consider the stretching of legs no
matter the planned training session. An
example of a stretching sequence that we
follow
is:
hamstrings,
quadriceps,
abductors and calves.
d. Explosive activation exercises

This is the funniest part of the warm up,
yes thats it! pushups, squats, jumping
jacks, jumps with knee elevation and so on.
During
this
stage
we
work
on
strengthening the muscles gradually. Its
important not to overdo in this stage since
it is still part of the warm up. If you overdo,
then you cant consider it part of the warm
up and it would become in a different stage
of the training. One of the exercises that I
particularly enjoy in this stage is a
sequence of: abdominals followed by
pushups ending with jumping squats,
keeping the same pace along all the
repetitions.
The warm up is different depending the
situation, the more demanding the final
activity is, the longer the warm up should
be. An advice is to have predefined warm
up exercises for different situations, this
could be really useful for unexpected times
or when you dont have much time to warm
up: tournaments, grade

short training and others.
examinations,
Lima Lama professors have the training

and extensive knowledge of these steps, if
you have any query or need advice in your
warm up get in touch with any of them and
ask for further guidance.

(Germany) and London (UK),

added to the one in Madrid
(Spain) makes the biggest
Limalama organization in
Europe.
The
first
weekend
of
February of 2014 we had the
opportunity to travel to the
city of Berlin, the capital of
Germany, where the German
Delegation
of
our
organization is found and
ruled by Sergio Rivera
Hernndez.
We
travelled
there
to
evaluate and
lead
the
change of degree exams as
well as give a seminar to get
better at their training and
provide tips and keys in
order to improve Santa
Cruzs Limalama system.
This event is the first of
many programmed activities
during 2014. I must say
thatwe were nervous
because it was the first time

establishing Limalama in a
permanent way in Europe
(outside
Spain)
and
spreading this wonderful
sport through the whole
continent.
Luckily we also counted on
Mauro, our representative
and
direct
collaborator
inside UKs organization,
whose presence gave the
event more weight and
making it a fully European
meeting.
Therefore, we are proud to
announce that Limalama
Natural System has already
two more headquarters in
Europe, with their major
academies
in
Berlin
We
cannot
forget
our
brothers on the other side of
the ocean, whose work is
unquestionable and thanks
to them we also have
presence in the states of
Guanajuato,
Cancun,
Tamaulipas, Chihuahua, etc.
All of them together make
bigger this great martial art.
But lets stay focused:
We were very proud to see
how the students managed
fluently and technically the
Santa Cruz program, despite
the short time the school
has being working on it. In
fact, the exams were highly
technical for each degree
and you could feel the
commitment
towards
learning.
During
the
evaluation
their
faces
showed the fatigue bit by bit
but nevertheless they found
the strength to demonstrate
their courage.
40
The exams continued with

normality and left us very
satisfied with the great work
displayed by Master Sergio
and his students. He even
took the exam to graduate
himself in the first degree of
black belt.
Extremely technical and
perfectionist in developing
the technics, I can say we
have more than a worthy
representative
in
the
German country. Flawless in
his exam presentation, he
showed us how anything is
attainable with hard work
and good training. He is an
example for their students
and it was an honor to
graduate him.
After the graduation and

losing no time, we moved
on to the first Limalama
European Meeting. This
seminar had a total duration
of 4 hours and was focused
in understanding the basics
of the Santa Cruz system
when training. In order to
demonstrate these concepts
all the showed technics are

included in the technical
programme.
We
had
also
two
representatives
of
two
related martial arts such as
Kempo and Kajukembo, the
first is master 4th dan and
the second is black belt,
great and upright people
who shared with us their
questions and similarities
with the roots of our
discipline.
A lot of information was
treated and despite the
language barrier we had the
feeling
that
the
main
principles
were
clearly
transmitted
and
fully
understood.
Then
the
graduations
came,
an
intimate and ceremonial,
characteristic
act
in
Limalama. Emotion, pride
and satisfaction were some
of
the
feelings
that
surrounded us in that
moment.
Personally I think that this
meeting
has
helped
Limalama
to
become
established and therefore
Natural System in Europe.
This is just the beginning,
we are confident about the
year 2014 bringing strength
to Limalama in Europe,
although I already think is
strong enough.
Thanks to all people who
has made possible this
seminar and to everyone
who
assisted
and
collaborated. We return with
new friends, affection and
the feeling that we are right
path.
