“He te whāinga taua tangata katoa i Tuatahi Class MMA me e he ki te riro,” Tonu Gulliver. “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, engari ki te Class Tuatahi, Te haapii John ngakau koutou. Titiro noa i te mahi whakamutunga Class Tuatahi i NEF. Ko e ngakau ko. We’re looking to do the same this time around. John Raio is a class act. Te ia he toa kore anake te kaiako ranei, Whakaaro hoki ahau ki a ia he hoa nui. E kore e Hoani e korero ki noa koe ki te mahi i te tahi, ka meatia e ia ki a koutou. Ki te sweating koe, he’s sweating—and that goes back to my statement that our school has heart.

“E rua nga kupu, John Ray,” said Velado when asked to differentiate First Class from other gyms he has trained at. “Kua whakangungua e ahau i te maha o ngā kura i runga i toku mahi toi hōia, engari e kore i haere mai ahau i roto i te whakapā ki te kaiako nei i haere te haere te ara e ia. E kore ahau e whai ki te korero ki a koutou te mea i te workhorse ko ia, 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. Mau ia pōtae maha pērā i kaiārahi, hoa, kaitohutohu, whakangungu hoa me te kaitaunaki rewera o ka tika. Kua ia i roto i te tino nui āhuatanga katoa ka taea e koe te whakaaro o roto i te whare herehere, me e homai ki a ia whanaungatanga. 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, engari Tuatahi Class MMA ko te huritua o taua huarahi. Manako matou tetahi, me te katoa ki te haere mai tereina ahakoa o ratou whakamārama hao ki te whawhai MMA ranei.”

 

Fafau Velado pā e ka kite ratou noa ake i roto i te ia i roto i tona a'ee ka ū mai ki a Dunn i “NEF XX.”

 

“He wāhanga o ahau e hiahia ana nga whawhai ki te haere rite hōtuhi rite toku tuatahi ki Cory Trial, engari au e ahau i konei mo te wheako me te. Whakakitea e ahau e pā ana ki 1% o te aha ahau e nehenehe e rave i roto i toku whawhai whakamutunga, na kia mau ki o koutou kanohi tihorea hoki te tahi mea e kore kua koutou i kite i roto i te NEF.”

Like Velado, Heoi, Ka taea e Wiegman faaite ki te tūranga nui Raio i te angitu o ana ākonga.

 

“E kore e haere au e ahau ki te kohuki e ki runga i te rerekētanga i waenganui i to tatou tikanga whakangungu versus tetahi atu o te omaoma,, engari he aha e taea e ahau te mea he e nga whawhai riro haere no te mea o te mahi pakeke tatou whawhai, dedication and excellent coaching from all of our instructors,” stated Wiegman. “Ko te pono he tangata o te piha haapiiraa tuatahi John Raio. Tona fakatapui ki tona utuafare, tona omaoma, ko ana whawhai mai rawa ta'esiokita. Tino tautoko o te katoa e whakaako nei i ana i tona omaoma-tamariki ko Hoani, tangata me nga wahine, me ana tohutohu ana i. "

"A te reira whakawhetai katoa ki a Hoani, me Jody Raio me katoa o tatou e tohutohu ana i Class Tuatahi e whai ahau i tenei faingamālie. Riro ngaro ranei, Mauruuru ki te NEF hoki ia i enei whawhai, me nga kori katoa te āhua e whakarato i te tūāpapa mō te iwi a tawhio noa ki te angitu i te whai io ratou moe o hoko ko ha toa angitu ahau.”

 

Bryce Bamford (0-0) haere ki Tuatahi Class MMA i roto i te kapa Whare Mētara BJJ, which cross-trains with Raio’s students. Bamford is scheduled to make his amateur MMA debut in the heavyweight division at “NEF XX.” Bamford sees many similarities between the two teams.

 

“He pono, Tuatahi Class MMA, Ko te tino rite ki te Mētara, i roto i te faatura e te katoa i reira ki te āwhina i te katoa tiki pai. Ko te rite ki te whakangungu ki te hoa, e kore whakangungu noa hoa.

Ko te kaiwhakarewa, me te matenga kaiako o te Karapu aro Shatterproof i roto i Dexter, Maine, Derek Shorey has been impressive in his professional career thus far. All three of his wins have come by first-round stoppage, tae atu hinga o Shorey o Tollison Lewis (0-5) mua i tenei marama, i “NEF XIX.” Riro ngaro ranei, E kore e Shorey whakapono i roto i te tuku whawhai haere ki te kaiwhakawa’ scorecards.

“Ua mauruuru vau i ki hei wahi o tenei hui o mua e ko NEF XX,” Said Shorey. “Thank you Matt Peterson and Nick DiSalvo for providing a platform for me to chase this ridiculous dream. Damon is an interesting matchup for me because, stylistically, we are very similar.
