After 2 hours of the most grueling and rigorous testing known to martial arts, The Ribeiro BJJ family has added 3 new Purple Belts to the ranks. Adam Terry, Brandon Sing, and Kevin Parker had to battle over 20 trained brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioners on their path through what BJJ Black Belt and head coach Scott Oates called “The hardest Hell Test to date,” in Ribeiro BJJ history. Though bloodied, battered, and pushed beyond exhaustion, no one quit. They earned their rank through a trial of fire. Welcome to the family gentleman!
Congratulations to Lisa Cuellar for winning her amatuer Muay Thai match at Modern Gladiators 10 this weekend. The event took place in our own backyard of Virginia Beach Virginia at the Surfside Inn Hotel and Suites, right off of our boardwalk.
Lisa, at the age of 40 years old, was competing in her 4th Muay Thai match (record of 1-2.) Her opponent was 16 year old Devon Fore from Coalition Fight Team who was making her amatuer Muay Thai debut.
Though in most sports, the edge tends to lean towards the younger athlete, Lisa showed no signs of ”slowing down.” Battling a significantly taller South Paw (left handed fighter) proved challenging to Lisa in the beginning stages of thhe fight. However, Lisa quickly adapted, applying tremendous forward pressure and a tremendous pace. Classic strategy against a Southpaw was implemented by Lisa, probing her jab hand, but primarily leading with the straight right hand while countering Devon’s high left kick with her own inside low right kick. Late in the third and final round, Lisa landed a devastating right body hook, crippling her younger opponent to earn an 8 count, sealing the win for Ms. Cuellar by a split decision.
Labeled by Coach Buck Grant as the “Female Randy Couture of Muay Thai,” Lisa continues to improve in every fight (now with a 2-2 record) and continues to be a role model for all at The Hybrid Training Center. For more pictures, visit ourFacebook Page, and to watch Lisa fight in full, CLICK HERE!

Congratulations to Owners/Instructors Buck Grant and Scott Oates for completing their P.D.R (Personal Defense Readiness) Course this weekend. The course was held in Virginia Beach Virginia and consisted of 20 hours of training, theory, and application of very revolutionary self protection principles.
P.D.R is based on the S.P.E.A.R System, founded by tactical revolutionary Tony Blauer.
The S.P.E.A.R. SYSTEM™ (Spontaneous Protection Enabling Accelerated Response) is a scientifically researched & medically reviewed personal defense measure that exploits the body’s natural responses to violence and danger. This survival mechanism, dubbed: Startle-Flinch Response has been scientifically integrated into a series of neuro-muscular drills that teaches individuals how to convert their instinctive reactions into protective and combative tactics.
Teaching at the course were the PDR Program Director Tom Arcuri and Blauer Tactical Systems Lead Instructor Tony Torres. Tony has been a long time friend and student of Mr. Torres and was honored to train with him again after man years.
In a constant effort to bring more knowledge to the Hybrid Training Center, our instructors are constantly seeking improvement and continue to train outside of their realm of comfort. Leading by example, our staff maintains a “White Belt” mentality of constant an never ending improvement. Come experience it for yourself!
