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.

“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.

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.”

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.

John yog heev pab txhawb ntawm txhua leej txhua tus uas cob rau ntawm nws lub gym-cov me nyuam, cov txiv neej thiab cov poj niam thiab nws cov instructors. "

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.”
