路易斯頓, 緬因 (九月 3, 2015) - 新英格蘭戰鬥 (NEF), 美國的頭號地區拼促銷, 將舉行第十九屆混合武術 (MMA) 事件, “第十九NEF,” 週六, 九月 12, 2015 在安德羅斯科銀行Colisée酒店在路易斯頓, 緬因. The fight card will feature three members of First Class MMA in action that night. 漢娜Sparrell (0-0), 拉斐爾Velado (0-0) 和 尼克·謝伊 (1-0) 從不倫瑞克, Maine-based gym. 最近, 頭等艙MMA的創始人和總教練 約翰· “甲級” 射線 加入NEF共同所有者和媒人馬特·彼得森作為來賓的NEF播客.

 

剛剛過去的這個月, 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, 包括準備Sparrell, Velado和乳木果為他們即將到來的較量.

 

“我肯定可以把更多的時間到我的戰士，以及我的家人,” 雷說. “戰士, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, 當你訓練了戰鬥, 不管你多麼努力把重點放在尼克·謝伊和尼克溝或漢娜Sparrell或拉菲爾或任何我們的戰士, 你不能真的把 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, 你的家人和你的孩子。”

 

由於NEF在早期的誕生 2012, 和這項運動的普及在該州隨後有爆炸, 許多新的體育場館都在近幾年如雨後春筍般湧現, including First Class MMA. Raio enjoys, 比什麼都重要, 綿密, 該公司開發的工廠，因為他開的健身房家庭般的氛圍.

 

“我喜歡我們的健身房最重要的事情, 我喜歡去和作為的一部分, 是有學生和教師的一個很不起眼的組,” 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.”

 

該 “甲級” 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贏得了尊重的聲譽, 優雅, 專業的, 可愛的個人, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.

 

“我嘗試平等地對待每一個人,” 雷說. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (在健身房), 反過來, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, 如果他們不採取行動恭敬的教師或其他學生, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… 我們的健身房吸引, 由於某些原因, 人誰是剛剛好的人。”

 

隨著越來越多的新的學生來通過他的健身房的大門, 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.

 

“在最後的演出 (第十八NEF), 當我看到尼克 (歐智華, 1-0) 有他的手臂提出和Rob (羅賓遜, 1-0), 我很高興那些傢伙,” 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), 我說：“如果我們去 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.”
