Xaaskeyga Jody ayaa kaalmo weyn. Macalimiin waa heer sare. Waxaan la barakeeyey in ay leeyihiin ciyaartoyda hibada, wrestlers, weeraryahanada iyo grapplers albaabada dhex socdaan. They all work hard and put in the time. They all work together and want each other to win. They have positive attitudes and treat each other with respect. We are trying to match seven fighters for NEF next February and have 15-20 ardayda si firfircoon doonaya dagaal ee sanadka soo socda. Many of our students are here to learn and not compete.

Waxa aan ka shaqeeyey runtii adag tahay in aan dagaal ugu horeysay, laakiin waxaan dareemayaa inaan aad u badan ayaa si ay u caddeeyaan inaan aniga qudhaydu. Tan iyo markii aan gacantayda dib sara June, Waxaan la adag tababar la First Class MMA iyo macdantu. My macallimiinta iyo tababarayaasha waa qof ugu fiican weydiisan kartaa.

Waxaan sidoo kale tababar ku First Class MMA la John Raio. John waa sababta aan u helo fursad aan ku dagaalamaan. John ayaa sida lagu daydo cajiib ah oo saaxiib aniga iyo Xarakada oo dhan si ay u. Qof kasta ee labada dugsiyada Waxaan tababar ku jira la yaab leh oo waa macalimiin weyn. Sidaa darteed waan ku faraxsanahay hesho si ay ula dagaalamaan ee macdantu iyo First Class MMA waxaan ahay. Diyaar ayaan u ahay in ay dib u gelayno qafis iyo muujinaysa ehelkayga iyo asxaabtayda sida ay u adag aan la shaqeeynayay. Waxaan rabaa inaan noqdo qofka ugu wanaagsan ee aan noqon karo, waxaan samayn doonaa in. Waxaan doonayaa in aan gacanta la sara kicin kaliya aniga, laakiin dadka waqti badan geliyey waxa aad aragto in qafis.

What is so unique about First Class MMA is that any gym can teach you to fight, laakiin Fasalka Kowaad, John aad wadnaha bara. Kaliya fiiri Class First waxqabadka ugu danbeysay ee NEF. Taasi waxay ahayd wadnaha. We’re looking to do the same this time around. John Raio is a class act. Waxa uu kaliya ma ahan dagaal ah ama tababare, Oo weliba waxaan isaga saaxiib weyn ka fiirsan. John ma ahayn oo keliya ayaa kuu sheegi in ay wax ka qaban, wuuna sameeyaa aad la. Haddii aad ka walwalsan, he’s sweating—and that goes back to my statement that our school has heart.

Ma ahan in aan kuu sheego waxa ka Ronie uu yahay, and that work ethic is something that has translated well as a coach. It’s no surprise to most that John has been so successful as an MMA coach.

Waxa uu in badan xaaladda kasta oo aad ka fikiri kartaa in qafis, iyo in isaga siinayaa kalsoonida. I trust his advice implicitly and you will see his MMA mind at work when I step in the cage to execute his game plan. Some gyms will destroy every new student that walks through the door, laakiin First Class MMA waa xaqiiqda biyo kama dhibcaan soo dhow. Waxaan soo dhawaynaynaa cid walba in ay yimaadaan tareen eegayn asalkooda ama hamiga si ay ula dagaalamaan MMA.”
