With his own base in wrestling, Raio tseem nyuam qhuav ntxiv trainers thiab cov chav kawm nyob rau hauv txawv martial arts disciplines los nthuav txoj kev kawm ntawm nws cov tub kawm.

Kuv nyiam sib tw vim hais tias kuv yuav muab tso rau txhua yam ntawm kuv kom pom tseeb thiab cov kev kawm rau hauv kuv lub sib ntaus. Kuv nyiam kev coach vim hais tias kuv yuav muab tso rau tag nrho cov uas ua kom pom tseeb rau lwm tus neeg. Kuv xav tias yog li ntawd zoo txhua lub sij hawm ib tug ntawm kuv cov tub kawm yeej, nws hais tias kuv yog tawm muaj sib ntaus sib tua. Kuv xav tias zoo li kuv yuav qus npaj zoo thiab paub qhov kev ua si zoo txaus mus nrhiav zoo matchups raws li kuv tua hluav taws kev kawm.”

Raio credits cross-training with other gyms and the quality of instruction from First Class coaches for the team’s recent success.

 

“Nws pib nrog peb tsev neeg tus phooj ywg huab cua,” Hais Ray. “Peb cia cov me nyuam thiab cov txiv neej thiab cov poj niam ntawm tag nrho cov muaj hnub nyoog mus koom tag nrho peb cov chav kawm ntawv tshwj tsis yog sparring. Kuv tus poj niam Jody tau ib tug lossis loj kev pab. Peb cov xib yog zoo heev. Peb tau koob hmoov kom muaj feemxyuam ncaws pob, wrestlers, strikers thiab grapplers taug kev los ntawm peb qhov rooj. 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 menyuam kawm ntawv xav tau fights nyob rau hauv lub xyoo tom ntej. Many of our students are here to learn and not compete. All of our students are helpful on giving advice and tips. Peb kuj ntoo khaub lig lub tsheb ciav hlau ntau li ntau raws li peb tau. Peb muaj ob peb cov tub ntxhais kawm uas qhia los ntawm lub Foundry BJJ system rau BJJ thiab taug kev mus qhia rau hauv peb lub gym rau ciav, wrestling and MMA. Our BJJ coaches are all Foundry BJJ members. Peb sim mus spar nrog pab neeg Irish nyob rau hauv Brewer txhua hli thiab kuv tseem qhia ntawm Choi tus (lub Choi lub koom haum ntawm Portland, Maine) ib zaug ib lub lim tiam. Hannah Sparrell mus rau Choi tus ib zaug ib lub lim tiam dhau.

 

“Thaum kuv thawj zaug qhib lub gym kuv heev teem rau kuv tus kheej txoj kev kawm thiab cia cov menyuam kawm ntawv lwm yam npaj rau lawv sib ntaus raws li lawv xav. Tam sim no kuv nyob rau sab saum toj ntawm fighters nrog Individual sparring, yam tsawg kawg nkaus cov chav kawm ntawv txhua lub lim tiam thiab yuav tsum tau luj-ins. Yog hais tias koj yuav tsis tau raws li qhov tsawg kawg nkaus uas yuav tsum tau, koj yuav tsis sib ntaus sib tua rau peb gym. Tej zaum koj yuav sib ntaus sib tua raws li ywj siab los yog koj yuav nrhiav tau ib tug tsev kawm ntawv uas pom zoo ntawm koj cob thaum koj xav tias zoo li nws. Peb tau zoo heev vim kuv hloov cov kev cai.”

“Kuv zoo siab heev rau sib ntaus sib tua dua rau ib tug zoo lub koom haum zoo li NEF,” qw hais tias Gulliver. “Nws xav li ntawd amazing los yeej yog kuv thawj thawj kev sib ntaus nyob rau hauv pem hauv ntej ntawm kuv tsev neeg thiab cov phooj ywg nyob rau hauv lub Androscoggin Bank Colisee nyob rau hauv Lub rau hli ntuj. Kuv ua hauj lwm tiag tiag nyuaj rau kuv thawj kev sib ntaus, tab sis kuv xav tias zoo li kuv muaj ib tug ntau los ua pov thawj rau kuv tus kheej. Txij thaum kuv txhais tes twb tsa rov qab nyob rau hauv Lub rau hli ntuj, Kuv tau raug kev cob qhia nyuaj nrog Thawj chav kawm ntawv MMA thiab cov Foundry.

John tau li ntawd ib qho amazing luag hauj lwm qauv thiab cov phooj ywg rau kuv tus kheej thiab tag nrho nws cov neeg tua hluav taws. Txhua leej txhua tus ntawm ob lub tsev kawm kuv qhia ntawm no yog amazing thiab yeej zoo kawg thiab instructors. Kuv zoo siab kuv tau txais mus tua rau lub Foundry thiab Thawj chav kawm ntawv MMA.

Ua tsaug rau koj rau kuv tsev neeg thiab cov phooj ywg thiab instructors rau txhua yam.

 

Gulliver extols qhov virtues ntawm Raio tus coach style nyob rau ntawm thawj chav kawm ntawv, eco sentiments ntawm lwm leej lwm tus txog instructors muab cov kev xav tau ntawm cov tub ntxhais kawm thawj.

 

“Txhua leej txhua tus nyob rau ntawm thawj hoob kawm MMA muaj tib lub hom phiaj thiab hais tias yog los yeej,” Gulliver txuas ntxiv. “But what separates First Class from any other gym is that everyone will sacrifice their needs and goals to help you win. What is so unique about First Class MMA is that any gym can teach you to fight, tab sis, nrog Thawj chav kawm ntawv, Yauhas qhia hais koj lub plawv. Cia li saib cov xeem Thawj chav kawm ntawv kev ua tau zoo ntawm NEF. Uas yog lub plawv. We’re looking to do the same this time around. John Raio is a class act. Nws tsis yog tsuas yog ib lub dav hlau tua rog los yog ib tug cob qhia, Kuv kuj xav txog nws ib tug zoo phooj ywg. John tsis cia li qhia rau koj mus ua ib yam dab tsi, nws yeej ua tau nws nrog koj. Yog hais tias koj nyob nraum tawm hws, he’s sweating—and that goes back to my statement that our school has heart. Nws tag nrho cov stems los ntawm peb cov tsheb loj thauj neeg, John.”

 

Rafael Velado, uas yog lub hli tas los ntawm yeej “NEF XIX” tshaj Cory mus sib hais (1-2), yuav ib zaug dua sawv cev Thawj chav kawm ntawv MMA rau Kaum Ib Hlis Ntuj 21 thaum nws kauj ruam nyob rau hauv lub tawb opposite Ken Dunn (0-2). Like Gulliver, Velado khab nias txoj kev vam meej ntawm lub pab neeg mus Tsheb loj thauj neeg Raio.

 

“Ob lo lus, John Ray,” said Velado when asked to differentiate First Class from other gyms he has trained at. “Kuv twb kawm ntawm ntau lub tsev kawm dhau kuv martial arts hauj lwm, tab sis yeej tsis muaj kuv tuaj nyob rau hauv kev sib cuag nrog ib tug cob qhia uas taug kev qhov kev taug kev txoj kev uas nws tsis. Kuv tsis tau qhia rau koj li cas ib tug workhorse nws yog, 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. Nws ris ntau kaus mom xws li cov thawj coj, phooj ywg, mentor, kev kawm khub thiab dab ntxwg nyoog tus kws lijchoj thaum tsim nyog. Nws tau nyob rau hauv zoo nkauj npaum li cas txhua txhua qhov teeb meem no koj yuav tau xav seb nyob rau hauv lub tawb, thiab hais tias muab nws credibility. 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, tab sis Thawj chav kawm ntawv MMA yog lub antithesis ntawm uas mus kom ze. Peb zoo siab txais tos leej twg thiab txhua leej txhua tus tuaj lub tsheb ciav hlau tsis hais ntawm lawv cov keeb kwm yav dhau los yog ambition mus tua MMA.”

 

Velado cog lus kiv cua hais tias lawv yuav pom ntau npaum li cas tawm ntawm nws nyob rau hauv nws yavtom ntej bout nrog Dunn ntawm “NEF XX.”

 

“Ib feem ntawm kuv xav kom peb txhua sib ntaus mus raws li scripted zoo li kuv debut tiv thaiv Cory mus sib hais, tab sis kuv nyob ntawm no rau kev ua zoo. Kuv tsom txog 1% ntawm yuav ua li cas nyob rau hauv kuv lub xeem sib ntaus, li ntawd, kom koj ob lub qhov muag peeled rau ib yam dab tsi koj yeej tsis tau pom nyob rau hauv NEF.”

Unlike Velado, Wiegman, uas yuav tig 30 ua ntej qhov kev tshwm sim, has not trained at any other gym prior to joining First Class. Like Velado, Txawm li cas los, Wiegman tau attest rau lub luag hauj lwm Raio plays nyob rau hauv txoj kev vam meej ntawm nws cov tub kawm.

 

“Kuv yuav tsis mus rau xav rau qhov txawv ntawm peb cov kev kawm tsoom fwv tiv tiag lwm yam gym tus, tab sis li cas kuv tau hais tias yog hais tias txhua txhua tua peb tua hluav taws yeej los, yog vim zog ua hauj lwm, dedication and excellent coaching from all of our instructors,” stated Wiegman. “John Raio yog tiag tiag ib tug thawj chav kawm ntawv tus txiv neej.
