Kru Buck Granttraveled to Thailand in the middle of the summer to be a part of the of Tuff Girls Adventure, a reality show based on female Muay Thai fighters. Kru Buck was hand picked by Grand Master Toddy who is his Muay Thai Ajarn (or Master) and the director/ producer of the reality series which is scheduled to air in the beginning of 2011.
The show features 11 women Muay Thai fighters, 5 American, 4 Australian, and one New Zealander who live together, train together, and eventually, fight each other for a chance to compete against a Thai born champion for the World Title. Kru Buck, along side of Master Ian Pollet (Australian), Kru Johnathan Yu (American) and a team of Thai native masters trained and mentored the fighters through the Tuff Girls Adventure under the supreme tutelage of Grand Master Toddy.
We are truly honored to have Kru Buck represent us and the United States on what will prove to be a ground breaking series. Stay tuned for more information on the shows release date!
Team Hybrid’s amature squad has proven dominant in local competition at Elite Fighting Challenge 7 and Modern Gladiators 12. Our newest memberChris Wentzwon by triangle choke in round 2 at EFC on September 10th at the Wave Church in Virginia Beach, in front of his fellow church members and Hybrid Training Center fans. As a seasoned grappler who fought as a self trained, independent fighter, Chris is now dedicating his training time to become a well rounded MMA fighter by training in the HTC’s Muay Thai program as a student, further validating that the HTC’s programs are for ALL levels of experience. Look to see Chris become a revamped and well rounded fighter in the near future.
On September 25th, 2 more Team Hybrid fighters stepped into the cage to fly our banner. George Arnaoutmade his Muay Thai Kickboxing debut a Modern Gladiators 12 in Chesapeake VA and won by unanimous decision in spectacular fashion.
