BJJ world champion training local boys
By Dave Delgado, KUAM
Published May 22, 2009
In local jiu-jitsu news, black belt world champion Nivaldo Lima is on island teaching at Guahan Top Team. The Brazilian has 10 years experience under his belt and will definitely help improve the game of our local jiu-jitsu athletes.
Big John Calvo said, "Through a network of JiuJitsu and because of JiuJitsu I was able to meet Nivaldo. He is one of the top guys in the world right now. We have just been plateuing with training and we had an opportunity to bring out a real topnotch guy so we brought him out so the guys can drink water from the source. This guy is from Brazil he is a JiuJitsu purist he has never fought a day of mma in his life. I'm really glad to have him, the kids really are too in the last 6 weeks since he has been here the guys game are like black and white the way they were moving before was just top and bottom and now he has shown us the game is more circular and 3 dimensional than people think."
The two-time world champ is also a Brazilian National Champion as well as a Bronze Medalist in the Pan Ams. Nivaldo says he enjoys the island's people the weather and plans to make his mark in our local jiujitsu scene. "People here on Guam are the same like the people in Brazil because the people are close; the people in the states are colder because of a big city. I am living in Brazil same city like Guam, one island waves everything for me it's perfect. I love Guam I will be back," he said.
A bug shoutout goes to DOCOMO, Scooter World, Hammer Equipment and Yamak for helping bring out Nivaldo, especially to Vince Quitagua from Shoyoroll who made it all happen.

Blue Hole One of the Seven Wonders?
GVB not convinced of legitimacy of New7Wonders
By John Davis
Published May 22, 2009
Contrary to a release issued by New7Wonders of Nature global campaign blasting the Guam Visitors Bureau for not submitting documents that would put a popular dive spot on Guam in the running to be voted one of the planet's amazing natural feats, the Guam Visitors Bureau says the reason they let the issue die was they were concerned about the organization's legitimacy
Guam's Blue Hole has is a vertical limestone shaft that was formed millions of years ago, extending down 300 feet into the reef. This very popular dive site has now been suspended from being nominated as part of the New7Wonders of Nature Global Campaign. The release indicates the reason the dive spot has been suspended from the list is the Blue Hole does not have an Official Supporting Committee representing it and so has now been suspended as a result of this situation.
New7Wonders requested GVB general manager Gerry Perez on March 4 to complete paperwork, but never received the documentation. GVB deputy general manager Ernie Galito says at first, GVB was excited about the idea and possibility of nominating the Blue Hole as one of the wonders on this side of the world, but after some background checks the determined the New7Wonders were misrepresenting themselves.
"We thought that they were endorsed by the United Nations (the Heritage Committee) and we've come to find out that they really weren't...we were kind of suspect on the validity of the organization so that's why we just dropped out of it," Galito said. He also added that other countries like Egypt were upset at the organization as well for not including the Great Pyramids into the campaign.
On top of some of the world's real wonders being left out of the selection, Galito says GVB was even more suspicious of New7Wonders when the agency found out that governments could sway the outcome of the campaign by making contributions to the organization. "We didn't really like where governments could influence the voting by contributing cash in order to make sure that their site got placed further up on the Top 7 list," he shared.
Whether or not Guam's Blue Hole ever makes it to the top of any world wonders list, Micronesian Divers Association general manager Jim Miller says the Blue Hole off of the Orote Point is a SCUBA hotspot. He says anywhere from 50-150 tourists visit the dive spot everyday and Top 7 wonder or not, if you haven't seen it, you're missing out. "It gives spectacular views, you get down there to about 120' and look back up, the shape of the opening looking towards the surface looks like the map of Guam," he said.
"It's lined with sea fans towards the bottom you've got a ton of fish there," Miller continued, "everything from lobster to eels to swimming fish, butterfly fish, angel fish, etc."

Kyokushin gym now open in capitol
KUAM.com :: Guam's News Network
- By Dave Delgado
Published Jan 28, 2009
Anyone interested in learning the art form kyokushin along with other martial arts will get a chance to do so at the new Hagatna Mixed Martial Arts Center. The gym is located on the 2nd floor of the House of Fabrics Building next to MTB Outfitters on the corner of Padre Palomo St. and Soledad Avenue.
The grand opening takes place this Saturday at 12:00 noon with demonstrations and belt testing taking place. Kyokushin was founded on Guam in 1964 by shihan Joe Tedtaotao and not only teaches fighting techniques but also respect, humility and non-violence.
Tony Rodriguez says, "Everything about Kyokushin is about discipline, courtesy and respect towards others. We really focus on helping people become better citizens and better people not here just to fight. It's full-contact karate, but it's not the focal point, so in a sense kyokushin is a martial art that doesn't focus on just the psychical aspect but also the spiritual aspect, as well."
