Nearly two years ago, the “Team Hybrid” name was unknown on the grappling circuit. This weekend that all changed. Our BJJ and Submission Grappling team took the NAGA (North American Grapplers Association) tournament by storm at the Boo Williams Sportsplex in Hampton VA. Team Hybrid coaches Matt Schwaner and Scott Horne competed alongside our student competitors against the fiercest competiton in Hampton Roads. Our students, both kids and adults, as well as staff shined brightly under the expert coaching of Ribeiro BJJ Black Belt Scott Oates, with the assistance of Ribeiro BJJ Brown Belt and instructor Steve Nelson.
In the end, Team Hybrid/ Ribeiro BJJ won 8 Gold, 8 Silver, and 1 Bronze Medals, proving that the HTC is a forced to be reckoned with in ALL aspects of MMA. Congratulations to our grappling warriors for doing us proud.

After 4 years of hard work and dedication, Coaches Chase Walden and Jody Morgan successfully tested for and passed their black belt test. Both instructors took drastically different routes to obtain their black belt. While Chase took the traditional route, fighting and obtaining several Muay Thai titles while running the Muay Thai program at the HTC, Jody Morgan took his competitive spirit to the MMA cage and CrossFit Games while running the TRX program.
Both Black Belts started together as white belts 
under Kru Buck Grant. Their training paths came full circle, as they met together to showcase their Muay Thai skills in front of nearly 40 HTC students who were testing for rank as well at our Quarterly Muay Thai Test on Friday June 4th.
Congratulations to all of our dedicated students for participating in our quarterly event. You continue to make us proud in your journey towards Black Belt excellence. Jody and Chase exemplified and embodied the true spirit of Muay Thai and served as great motivation to all of our students who continue on their path to greatness.
We want to once again thank Hope and Alex Ignacio for their amazing photography. Look to see more professional photos of the HTC from them in the near future. For more pictures of our Muay Thai Testing, CLICK HERE and visit their blog spot.

It is that time again! June 4th will mark our 2nd Quarterly Muay Thai Belt Testing for 2010. Come support your friends and family as they move up to their next rank. Testing at the HTC has always been more of a celebration rather than a test. The hard work and dedication has already been shown to get them this far, so come celebrate their achievements. All students, family members and guests are welcomed so don’t miss out!
Testing will start at 6pm. All students testing must be at the HTC no later than 545pm. Students are encouraged to arrive as early as 530pm to warm up and review testing combinations with fellow students and instructors. THERE WILL BE NO MUAY THAI CLASSES ON FRIDAY.
We hope to see you all there!
