Aita i maoro a'e, Tuatahi Class MMA kaiwhakaū me te kaiako matenga John “Class Tuatahi” Ray piri NEF ngā-rangatira, me te matchmaker Matt Peterson rite te āheinga i runga i te NEF Podcast.
Tenei Pipiri mua, 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, tae atu ki te whakarite Sparrell, Velado ko O'Shea mo ratou pāngia ka ū mai.
“Ahau tino taea e hoatu i te rota wā atu ki toku whawhai me te toku utuafare,” Said Ray. “Ko nga whawhai, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, ka e koutou te whakangungu mo te whawhai, noa'tu te nui tamata koe ki te arotahi ki runga i Nick O'Shea ranei Nick Gully ranei Hana Sparrell ranei Rafael ranei tetahi o tatou whawhai, e kore e taea te hoatu tino e koe 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, to outou utuafare, a koutou tamariki.”
Mai te whanautanga o NEF roto i te tīmatanga 2012, me te pahūtanga muri o te rongonui te hākinakina o roto i te kāwanatanga, Kua tupu ake maha kori hou i roto i nga tau tata nei, including First Class MMA.

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.”
Te “Class Tuatahi” moniker is not merely a nickname given to Raio because of his past job with the postal service. Early on in his MMA career, Roaa Raio te ingoa o te whakaute, classy, ngaio, takitahi manakoa ai, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.
“Tamata e ahau ki te hamani katoa rite,” Said Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (i te omaoma), roto i te tahuri, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, ki te kore ratou e mahi whakaute ki te hunga e tohutohu ana i te tahi atu ngā ākonga ranei, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… Tatou omaoma tohoakii, mo etahi take, te iwi nei e te iwi pai noa.”
Ki te nui noa atu te ākonga hou e haere mai i roto i te tatau o tona omaoma, 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.

As much as I didn’t come away with a win against Bruce (Boyington, 10-8), Ka mea ahau 'ki te haere tatou 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.”

Lewiston, Maine (August 31, 2015) - New Ingarangi whawhai (Nef), Tau-kotahi whakatairanga whawhai rohe Amerika o, Ka mau i ona tekau ma iwa whakauru-hōia-toi (MMA) takahanga, “NEF XIX,” i runga i Rāhoroi, Mahuru 12, 2015 i te Androscoggin Bank Colisée i Lewiston, Maine.

Young’s teammateKira Innocenti (0-0) Kei te whakaritea hoki ki te hanga ia tuatahi ki Hana Sparrell (0-0) i Tuatahi Class MMA i Brunswick.
Ko Angela Young te wahine o Chris Young – owner and founder of Young’s MMA. She views her debut fight as a way of testing herself.
“It’s important for me to test myself,” ka mea Young, “e kore anake i roto i te whare herehere maiMahuru 12, but also through the fight that’s happened the last eight weeks leading up to the NEF event. I feel the fight is essentially a showcase and representation of the grueling training sessions and endless hours in the gym that took place prior to fight night. Living the MMA lifestyle to me meant more than diet modifications and strict training schedules. Athletically, ko reira atu e pā ana kātaki i roto i te mau fifi, me aki oku rohe rite i te whakataetae i roto i te ara kihai i i i whakamatautauria. Ko te pā ana ki ata mohiotia ki ahau, oku kaiako me oku hoa tākaro i roaa e ahau toku tika ki te manga i roto i te whare herehere.”
Hea i roto i te wahine mua kua parea ki te mataraharaha, me te minamina ana wahi o ngā hākinakina whawhai, rite mekemeke, e kore kua MMA wahine a ara anake ki te rite tahi te mana ki a te tangata MMA, te mea, i roto i te tahi mau rave'a, surpassed it. One has to look only to the highest level of the sport to see this trend. Women’s fights are now routinely present on the main cards of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). The promotion’s top star, me ona kaipara rawa utua, Ko o ona wahine whā toa Ronda Rousey (12-0). The women competing on the September 12 ka hei kāri i te aronga o te kaupapa ki te whakawhānui i ngā whai wāhitanga mō wahine i te taumata-rohe.

Na roto i tenei puni whawhai ua uiui e ahau, sparred a nonoke ana raua kapa whawhai a te Feia Apî MMA me kua ratou unrelentingly tautoko. Te riroraa tetahi te whawhai wahine tuatahi o roto o Young o tino nei ona tenge (me te mali ki Mr. Young) but it’s also a spotlight I’m hoping will inspire other women who otherwise wouldn’t have pursued MMA. I would bet the women’s fights on September 12th won’t be unlike the others we’ve seen at prior NEF events. Titau ahau nga wahine ki te hoatu i runga i te whakaatu nui no te e tatou i te tahi mea ki te whakamatau. Kua waiho e ahau te toto, werawera me te roimata ki te whakangungu, me te koe pai whakapono ka whakaatu ahau ki oku hoariri mahi te taua. E te mea, nga wahine e haere ana ki te haere mai i muri i ki reira whakato ratou tĭtĭ i roto i te whare herehere NEF.”
Hoa tākaro o rua Young, Kira Innocenti, me te nei tona hoariri i “NEF XIX,” Rahera Reinheimer, titiro ki te whakaae ki te whakaaro a Young i runga i te tupu tere o MMA o te wahine.

Ka taea e ahau haapapû atu ia outou e, e pāngia te wahine a fakangalongata'a.”

A, no te tangata he tauhou ki te whakaaro o MMA o te wahine, Whakarite e ahau ki te mekemeke taiapa ranei, something else that people are more familiar with. The pool of women fighters in New England is deepening fast and the fact that there are more women’s bouts on fight cards reflects that. Toku hoariri, me te ahau he i nui e rua, puni pukumahi.

Na mauruuru no te whakangungu mīharo me hoa tākaro i Sityodtong e pana ahau kia pakeke ahau. I te Mahuru 12, Ka taea e koe e mahara he whawhai.”
Te nuinga o te taata, e rua nga tangata me nga wahine, who join MMA gyms do not do so initially intending to become an active cage fighter. On any given day, one can walk into any MMA gym and find a diverse population of trainees. Men and women, tawhito, e te taitamariki, kara puru, me te kara ma, all train side by side. Most will never step foot in a cage in front of thousands of screaming fans. Most are there to get in shape or learn self-defense. Some, Heoi, E ngaua e te bug whakataetae.
“I whakaurua e ahau ki te ao MMA i muri i te hainatanga taku tamahine ki he ngaahi kalasi Jiu Jitsu te whakaaro 'e' aonga ki a ia mo whai wāhi i roto i te hākinakina te āhuatanga korero whaiaro,” haamana'o Hanna Sparrell. “I ahau i tiaki rite hinga ia i roto i te aroha ki te kēmu, whiwhi kaha me te māia, and was quick to decide that it was something I needed to be doing too. It didn’t take long before I fell in love with Jiu Jitsu myself, a ka mutunga hiahia ki te tūhura i te tahi atu mau tuhaa o te ao MMA. Te riroraa i roto i te omaoma hei kua he whare tuarua mo ahau me taku tamahine, oku hoa whakangungu, a second family. Every day I walk through the doors of the gym is a test, te reira i te tamataraa o te tākaro, me te pai, hei whakamatautau ano i te puku hinengaro, ā-whatumanawa. Mai i whakaurua ki te ao toi hōia whakauru kua hoatu e ahau toku tinana, ngakau, me te wairua ki te whakangungu, a whakataetae i roto i tenei a'ee he nui ki ahau mo te maha ngā take, e kore anake ki te tohu ahau me toku mahi pakeke, engari ki te hoki tohu katoa te mahi pakeke, fakatapui, me te faaitoitoraa i riro mai i ahau i oku hoa, e tohutohu ana, hoa whakangungu, and fellow fighters along the way. I think MMA training for woman is a great outlet for many reasons, te reira i te pae tino ko te īngoa nui, a ka he ano hoki he ahua pai o "therapy" i te mutunga o te ra pea taumaha. I ahau he tini nga wahine whakangungu ahau ki, e kore e whakamahere i katoa o ratou i runga i whawhai, engari nga painga o te hākinakina e tonu i reira, a ka aroha ratou i te reira noa te taua.”
Innocenti, rite maha, ka whai wāhi i roto i te hākinakina whawhai rite te ara ki te tiki i roto i, a noho i roto i, shape. Little did she know when her journey started some two years ago that it would take her into an MMA cage with thousands watching her compete.
“Te whakamatautau i ahau i roto i te a'ee toi hōia whakauru he nui ki ahau i roto i maha i te pā. E rua tau ki muri, Ko ahau te taumaha, me te aro ki te kitea he hauora, ara fakahoko. Kotahi ra, Ara ahau ki runga ka mau ki te ora i nga kingi, i roto i te hawhe tau, ngaro e ono tekau pauna i runga i toku ake. Pōwhiritia ahau e wero, muri, e ua hinaaro te tahi. Arona “He whakangungu” Lacey korerotia ki ahau e pā ana ki MMA o Young, a meinga ana e ahau ki te taki i te reira i roto i. I muri takahi i roto i te tatau, tamata i katoa o te akomanga, me te whakatutuki i te whānau nei i hanga te reira na motuhake, I potae, ahau. Hanga e ahau te reira i te opuaraa ia kia kotahi te whawhai wahine tuatahi i runga i te rōpū whawhai Ninety tino whaimana i roto New England o. Kua tonu ahau i te kaiwhakataetae. He pārekareka ki ahau wero ahau me aki rohe e whakaaro ki te e taea ki te whakatutuki i. Te oraraa i te āhua toi hōia whakauru he uaua. E titau te reira nui atu fakatapui atu ahau ake whakaaro taea. Wawahi te reira koutou ka hanga i a koutou hoki ki te tangata e koe pono e.

Ko ahau fakapapau'i ki te hanga whakakake ratou, ka whakawhetai ki a ratou ki toku ringa i ara.”
“Mixed Arts ko te whakamātautau hopea o te wairua o te tangata i runga i nga taumata: te pae tino, hinengaro, , ā-waiora,” Na ka mea a Reinheimer. “I ahau i te hiahia tahu ki te mohio pehea te tawhiti e taea e ahau te haere. I like exceeding expectations and pushing my limits and that’s MMA in a nutshell. Since I started training in martial arts, hei toku ora, kua rohe-iti. Kua pai ake toku ora toku ora i runga i te whāriki atu te whāriki me te hurihia. Ngā huia te reira atu i te mau faaoaoaraa faufaa katoa me maturuturu iho ana aku ora ki raro, ki te mea faufaa tino, i roto i a roto o te whakakai. Ite e ahau kia rite ki ngā tauturu te reira riro ahau nui ofi ki toku whaiaro tūturu. Ko te te pai o toi hōia tahito, me te ora hou.”
O nga wahine e wha whawhai i runga i te “NEF XIX” kāri, only Reinheimer has actively competed in the past. She dominated her opponent this past spring on her way to a unanimous decision victory in her debut. All of the women fighting on September 12 i roto i te Lewiston e oaoa no te rave'a.
