Satoko Shinashi

This entry is different from our usual fitness models, bodybuilders and physical trainers.
Satoko Shinashi is a female Japanese mixed martial arts fighter.
Of course no one doubts that MMA fighters are fit, a lot of the fitness models here and on my other fitness blogs use MMA training as one of their ways to stay in shape.

Satoko was born on January 29, 1977 in Tokyo, Japan.
(Hmmm...thats me, Liza Kampstra and Satoko all born on January 29th.)
She uses Judo, Sambo, and jiu-jitsu in her matches, and is known for her armbars.
Actually she is 28-2- 2 ( her website lists her record at 30-2-2 ) in fighting with 22 of those wins being via submission and 17 of those submissions were armbars.
Pretty much if she gets an armbar locked in, it's over.
Her two losses were to Mai Ichii by decision and Hisae Watanabe by knockout.



You wont be seeing her in the ring anytime soon though.
Back in January, it was announced that Satoko is pregnant.

You can visit her website here:

And here is a video of her in action against various opponents.

Monique Minton

This beautiful young lady is female fitness model and female figure competitor Monique Minton.
I did a write up on this lovely half filipinia, half polish model over at one of my other fitness blogs, but I wanted to include her here as well.
She's the cover girl for the 2009 March-April Muscle & Fitness Hers magazine, and she racked up an impressive list of contests finishes in 2008.
1st place at the The 2008 NPC John Sherman Classic Bodybuilding, Fitness & Figure Championships, 3rd place at the The 2008 NPC USA Bodybuilding & Figure Championships, 4th place at the 2008 NPC Team Universe Bodybuilding, Fitness & Figure National Championships, 5th place at the 2008 NPC National Bodybuilding & Figure Championships and 1st place at the 2007 NPC Gateway Classic.
"Stunning" seems to be the term a lot of people apply to this competitor, and with good reason.
"Momo" has a website in the works, but at the time of this entry, it's not up yet.
But here's the link in case you'd like to bookmark it and check back....

See? She's beautiful.
And besides her win at the Ms. Bodyfitness competition in 2008, she has competed in the 2007 Asian Championships, Ms. Fitness 4th place and Ms. Body Fitness, 7th place.

And Lisa is also considering a shot at female MMA as you can see in this video here:

Mona Liza Reyes, Another Look

I did an entry on Filipino figure athlete Mona Liza Reyes awhile back.
But what I didn't know was that this lovely lady is involved in Knock Out Dog Fighting, an anti-dogfighting campaign dedicated to stopping cruelty and abuse.
As a person that does animal rescues I really appreciate what these people are doing.
We've rescued a few Pits ourselves.
In addition to that, she is a volunteer coach with "Girls on the Run". The Girls on the Run program is a 12- week training course which targets 8 – 11 year old girls.
So i thought I would do another entry on this lady who not only beautiful on the outside, but on the inside as well.

You can learn more about Knock Out Dog Fighting here
And you can visit Monica's website and get some free fitness tips from the lady herself here.

Aki Nishimoto, Another Look

The first lady I profiled on this blog was Japanese female bodybuilder Aki Nishimoto.
This young lady has amazing muscle definition.
And here is a shot of her very nicely developed arm.

Barbara Engelsmann

Barbara Engelsmann is a IFBB Pro Figure, certified personal trainer and fitness model.
Born on June 25th, 1995, in Stuttgart, Germany, this young lady is of European/Asian descent.

MC Barao

This 5'4" 109 pound beauty was born in the Philippines and raised in Houston Texas.
She appears to be just starting out, with a website coming soon, http://www.mcbarao.com/
Maybe when the website is up I can get some more info.
I have no idea if she has been in any figure competitions, if she's a personal trainer (although I did read where she said she wanted to help people with their fitness goals) or anything like that.
MAYBE she'll stop by and enlighten us.

Amateur Bodybuilder Rebekah Kresila

Amateur bodybuilder Rebekah Kresila is from Cleveland, Ohio.
She's a certified personal trainer and has training as a classical pianist.
That's about all I could find out about this lady other than there are tons of pictures and videos of her out there on the net.

Asian Fitness Model Liz Yu.

The really sad thing about Liz is that all I have is a name and a picture.
And possibly that this is the same Elizabeth Yu that competed at the 2006 Emerald Cup Figure, Fitness and Bodybuilding Championships.
If that is the same lady, then she also competed at the 2006 Alberta Figure Championships.
But I had to post this entry.
Look at those abs!

Fitness Model: Mai Tran

Mai Tran is a Fitness model, Bikini model and Import Car model.
This 5'1, 96 pound (yes that's right...96 pounds!) Vietnamese (she was born in the US, but both her parents are Vietnamese) beauty is very popular on the internet.
And rightly so.
She has been in fitness magazines such as MuscleMag, Oxygen, Muscle and Fitness, Muscular Development and Flex.
And this is a "hat-trick" for Mai.
I have featured her before on my fitness blog and my beautiful women blog!

IFBB Fitness Pro Nicole Rollolazo

I have already done one write up on IFBB Fitness Pro Nicole Rollolazo over at my Female Fitness blog, but she needs to be included here as well.
Nicole is a female fitness competitor, model and personal trainer.
And the lovely Nicole is half Filipino.
Besides her long list of fitness competitions (her most recent begin 8th place at the 2008 IFBB 15th Annual Sports/Fitness Weekend and Europa IFBB Super Show and 7th place at the
2008 IFBB Houston Pro Bodybuilding, Fitness and Figure Contest), Nicole was also in a movie back in 2003 with Timea Majorova, Elaine Goodlad and several other fitness athletes called "The Interplanetary Surplus Male and Amazon Women of Outer Space".
Nicole contributed to the book "The Body Sculpting Bible for Women : The Way to Physical Perfection".
So I guess she's actually an actress, author, female fitness competitor, model and personal trainer.
