JOHN RAIO thriving HAUV nyiaj laus NROG Ib tug THAWJ HOOB TEAM

Cia ib saib

Lewiston, Maine (Cuaj hlis 3, 2015) - Tshiab England Fights (NEF), America lub xov tooj-ib regional sib ntaus qib, yuav tuav nws puas tawm mixed martial--kawm (MMA) kev tshwm sim, “NEF XIX,” nyob rau hnub Saturday, Cuaj hlis 12, 2015 nyob rau Androscoggin txhab nyiaj Colisée nyob rau hauv Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature three members of First Class MMA in action that night. Hannah Sparrell (0-0), Rafael Velado (0-0) thiab Nick Shea (1-0) los ntawm lub Brunswick, Maine-based gym. Tsis ntev los no, Thawj chav kawm ntawv MMA tsim thiab lub taub hau cob qhia John “Thawj cov hoob kawm” Ray koom NEF co-tswv thiab matchmaker Matt Peterson li cov qhua nyob rau hauv lub NEF Podcast.

 

Qhov no yav dhau los rau hli ntuj, 38-year-old Raio retired after competing in the NEF cage for some three-and-a-half years. Raio now concentrates on training the members of his First Class MMA gym, xws li npaj Sparrell, Velado thiab Shea rau lawv tom ntej bouts.

 

“Kuv twv yuav raug hu yuav muab tso rau ib tug ntau ntau lub sij hawm mus rau hauv kuv tua hluav taws raws li zoo raws li kuv tsev neeg,” Hais Ray. “Lub tua hluav taws, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, thaum koj nyob nraum cob rau ib tug sib ntaus, tsis muaj teeb meem ntau npaum li cas koj sim ua kom pom tseeb rau ntawm Nick Shea los yog Nick Gully los yog Hannah Sparrell los yog Rafael los yog ib yam ntawm peb tua hluav taws, koj yuav tsis tshua muab tso rau 100% effort into a fighter when you really focus on your own fight. It’s tough splitting between their fight and your fight and your job, koj tsev neeg thiab koj cov me nyuam.”

 

Txij thaum yug tus me nyuam ntawm NEF nyob rau hauv thaum ntxov 2012, thiab lub tom ntej tawg ntawm lub ua si nawv lub koob meej nyob rau hauv lub xeev, ntau yam tshiab gyms tau tuaj mus nyob rau hauv xyoo tsis ntev los, including First Class MMA. Raio enjoys, ntau tshaj lwm yam, lub kaw ntom nti ua-ntos, tsev neeg-xws li chaw uas tau tsim ntawm lub chaw txij li thaum nws qhib lub gym.

 

“Qhov loj tshaj plaws uas kuv nyiam txog peb cov gym, Kuv yeej zoo siab mus thiab yog ib feem ntawm, yog muaj ib tug heev txo hwj chim pab pawg neeg ntawm cov tub ntxhais kawm thiab instructors,” noted Raio. “Everyone who teaches in there is about the fighters. It’s about the students. They’re not about themselves. They’re more about trying to help people get better. Whether they’re a fighter or a teacher, we have a few teachers who go there and we have several women students and several children and adults. It’s a real good mix and very much a family atmosphere. We rarely lose a student.”

 

Lub “Thawj cov hoob kawm” moniker is not merely a nickname given to Raio because of his past job with the postal service. Early on in his MMA career, Raio khwv tau lub koob npe nrov ntawm ib tug kev sib fwm, classy, kev, likeable neeg, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.

 

“Kuv sim mus kho txhua leej txhua tus sib npaug,” Hais Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (ntawm lub gym), nyob rau hauv lem, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, yog hais tias lawv nyob nraum tsis sawv kev sib fwm rau cov xib hwb los yog tus me nyuam kawm ntawv lwm yam, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… Peb gym attracts, rau ib co yog vim li cas, cov neeg uas yog cov cia li zoo neeg.”

 

Muaj ntau thiab ntau dua tshiab cov tub ntxhais kawm los ntawm nws lub qhov rooj gym, Raio has definitely kept busy since his retirement from active competition. Like a proud father, Raio has a real passion for the success of his students. The ultimate reward for him is seeing his protégées do well in the cage.

 

“Tom qab qhov kawg yeeb (NEF XVIII), thaum kuv pom Nick (Gulliver, 1-0) tau nws sab caj npab tsa thiab Rob (Robinson, 1-0), Kuv zoo siab heev rau cov hais mav,” recalled Raio. “I’m so happy to see these two guys win. As much as I didn’t come away with a win against Bruce (Boyington, 10-8), Kuv hais tias 'yog hais tias peb mus 2-1, I’d rather be the one that didn’t pull off the victory.’ I’ve never been as happy for my own win than I was for Nick and Rob that night.”
