“The Weapon” Defends His Title at Modern Gladiators!

October 18th, 2009

October 17th- Modern Gladiators- Surfside Inn, Virginia Beach

Chase_Coach_ChampIn his first title defense, Chase “The Weapon” Walden defeated Donnie Tinsley from team Sprawl and Brawl of North Carolina to retain his Super Welterweight Muay Thai Title. Walden outclassed his opponent with superb Muay Thai skills. His patented front kick (or Teep) found it’s target on numerous occasions during the bout,  often landing on his shorter opponents face!

Chase_MGFThough his opponent resorted to fowl tactics on numerous occasions during the bout ( several illegal throws and a lifting slam, which resulted in a point deduction in the third round) Chase remained composed and calm. Slowly but surely Chase chipped away at the dwindling endurance of Tinsley with powerful roundhouse kicks, eye splitting elbows from the clinch, and an improved display of boxing skills.

The bout was stopped as the 4th round was about to start. Donnie Tinsley gave the referee a sign of surrender as the bell was about to ring and Chase Walden remained the Super Welterweight Champion!

Congrats to Thomas “Bones” Murphy for participating in his first MMA bout. Though he lost, he showed tremendous heart stepping into the cage and we are proud of him regardless.

Chase will be teaching a Muay Thai Sparring Course Saturday October 24th from 11am till 3pm. During this course he will be sharing the champion building techniques that have been passed onto him by Kru Buck Grant. It is an advanced Course and space is limited. For more information about our Sparring Course and Muay Thai System CLICK HERE!

Chase_CrossFit_CoachesSpecial thanks to all of our coaching staff and fighters for helping Chase achieve his victory. Pete Yates (Boxing),  Jody Morgan (Strength and Conditioning) and of course Kru Buck Grant, we are all very proud of his achievements and his conduct inside and outside of the ring.

And as Always…

Mackens Wins at The WEC!

October 11th, 2009

October 10th
Mack_WECIn what many would call an upset, Macken’s “Tha Menace” Semerzier defeats former IFL champion Wagney Fabiano at he WEC. The win came via triangle 2 minutes into round over a 3rd degree black belt in brazillian jiu-jitsu.
Mackens truly represented VA MMA well, upsetting no one who has ever trained with the local phenom.
Mackens has had the support of many in this area. Though his home school is Linxx academy, he trains extensively with our very own Team Hybrid as well as 7-Cities Boxing when gearing up for events. Yet another example that only the best of MMA athletes in VA come to the Hybrid Training Center.
Congrats again to Mack “Tha Menace.” The soldiers at the HTC are honored to have trained with you.
And as always…
GO TEAM HYBRID!
