Arthur Alvin A. Aguilar is a mixed martial artist, promotor and professor better known as Alvin Aguilar. He was born on April 28, 1974, in Bacolod, Philippines. He is the president and founder of the Universal Reality Combat Championship (URCC), the first and most well-known MMA promotion in the Philippines and the longest-running MMA promotion in Asia. He is also the founder and head coach of DEFTAC Ribeiro Jiu-jitsu, the largest MMA and Brazilian jiu-jitsu team in the country. His martial arts journey began at the age of 9, experimenting first in arnis, karate and Greco-Roman wrestling. Devoting more than 30 years of his life to the study of MMA forms including Sari-an, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Yaw-Yan and Pekiti, Aguilar has developed his own unique fighting style specializing in grappling, knife and street fighting. He is considered a prominent personality in the Asian MMA community, known as a pioneering symbol of Philippine MMA that started the MMA and BJJ movement in South East Asia during the 1990s. He is also known for being the first home-grown Filipino Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt. ==Biography== Alvin Aguilar is the only son of Arthur and Madeleine Aguilar. He has one sister, Alexandrine Ann Aguilar. Growing up, Alvin was considered by his parents, teachers and peers as a very hyperactive child. He was very athletic so his parents were forced to keep him immersed in various extra-curricular activities just to keep him busy. At the early age of nine he began to show considerable interest in martial arts, an interest that both his parents fully supported. His father would even drive him around as he explored different gyms and systems. He had an early exposure to arnis through his father, and later learned Shotokan karate and Greco-Roman wrestling throughout the late 1980s. He earned his university degree in Behavioral Science at De La Salle University where he went on to become the leader of his fraternity Tau Gamma Phi. His involvement in fraternity violence rapidly increased and so did his thirst to seek out the most effective forms of combat. He would later join a group called Sari-An, or Sariling Pamamaraan, a martial arts group founded in the 1980s that emphasized street fighting under the tutelage of the system’s originator Robert Cousart. He also started honing his stick- and knife-fighting skills with Sixto Carlos of Carlos Hermanos and with Leo Gaje of Pekiti Tirsia Kali. His pursuit of martial arts excellence is guided by three main principles: authenticity, credibility and combat effectiveness. Starting his Gracie Jiu-jitsu training in 1993 at the Gracie Academy in Los Angeles, California, he became one of three existing certified international training representatives to the Gracie Association. In 2006, he was promoted to black belt by Brazilian black belt Kazeka Muniz. In 2009, he became a member of Gracie Humaita under Royler Gracie. He now trains under Saulo Ribeiro of Ribeiro Jiu-jitsu. In May 2010, he was promoted to 1st degree black belt by Royler Gracie. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alvin Aguilar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
