RGA Invitational, Claudio's Pro MMA Debut, Steve's KB Fight

RGA Invitational

The Renzo Gracie Invitational this past weekend was a huge success for Real World Martial Arts. On Saturday, the gi day we had a few students that did exceptionally well, but surprisingly we really came through on Sunday for the no-gi portion of the event. With a handful of people placing 1st, and RWMA shutting out the Purple Belt lightweight division, we were able to come out with the 2nd place overall team trophy for no-gi. Congratulations to everyone who competed with success, and a big thank you goes out to our supporters. 2nd place is a huge step up from 5th, last year. Next year let's shoot for 1st place, so start training!

Alex and Chris Fought Hard in AC! Fight Videos Up!

Alex and Chris bought fought hard this past weekend in Atlantic City in the Trump Marina. Both of them represented out school to the fullest, and we couldn't have asked anything more from either of them. Chris was the first to go from our school, the 4th fight of the night. After throwing his first jab, Chris had already taken his opponent to the ground and landed on top. He transitioned flawlessly, ending the fight in the first round with an impressive armlock from the bottom and looked as if he broke his opponents arm. After a some time, and a few more matches Alex fought as the 9th fight of the night. He didn't have a size or weight advantage coming into the fight, so he relied on his technical stand up to win the fight. His opponent was a very strong wrestler and tough all around, so we knew the fight was going to go all three rounds. In the end if you stood both fighters side by side and asked anyone who won the fight, they would answer Alex without a doubt. However his opponent was persistant with  takedowns and earned enough points to win  the rounds. Overall, it came down to a split decision and the fight was given to his opponent; it was a very close call. Congratulations to the both of them, we're proud of you!
