A Warrior’s Fight

“Strength does not come from physical capacity.  It comes from an indomitable will.”  Mohandas Gandhi

Chris Babcock is the personification of indomitable warrior spirit. Her martial arts accolades read like the resume of a world champion, and she is an inspiration to everyone who meets her. Unfortunately, now she is fighting for her life against brain cancer.

She recently found out that her tumor has grown and that she will once again be battling more rounds of chemotherapy; she is in trouble. Her illness has caused her to lose her job and her health insurance, which means she can no longer afford the medical care she needs. She is also a single mother to a beautiful little girl and, with the holiday’s fast approaching, she needs our help.

**Hybrid Crossfit, Crossfit 7 Cities and API Virginia Beach will be hosting “The 12 days of Christmas” workout on Saturday, December 17th at Hybrid Training Center in Virginia Beach as a fundraiser for Chris.**

There will be a minimum $10 donation to participate in the workout.  We will start running heats at 9am and continue until everyone has finished.

*If you can’t participate in the workout, but would still like to donate to Chris’ cause please do so at the link below.  Every little bit will make a difference:

A special thanks goes to Team Aguirre, Crazy 88 BJJ and our very own Team Hybrid for their hard work and determination. Come support the next generation of Rising Stars!

MONDAY @ 6pm and WEDNESDAY @ 6pm

As seen on the increasingly popular UFC , MMA is the combination of both the Striking (Muay Thai, Boxing) and Grappling (Submission Grappling/ Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Wrestling) arts to produce the ULTIMATE system of Combat Sport and Self Defense.

The emphasis of this program is teaching the all important TRANSITION between the STRIKING and GRAPPLING ranges of combat. Special attention is also spent on striking in grappling situations such as clinch fighting or “dirty boxing” as well as from the ground, more commonly know as “ground and pound”.

This program is done in conjunction with the Hybrid Muay Thai Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu program to synergistically produce the premiere Hybrid Martial Artist.

In victory or defeat, Chris Buckner and Antwain Britt represented Team Hybrid Proudly.

We are proud of our Team Hybrid Warriors!

Louis Johnson won his 1st title match via decision!

Lee Rahlien defeated his title with a KO in the 1st round!

Congratulations Louis and Lee!!

Action starts at 1:04:00. Watch Matt Van Buren defeat Shawn Levsque by rear naked choke at 22 seconds shy of the end of round 1. DO WORK TEAM GUTTER! DO WORK TEAM HYBRID! Big thanks to Ajarn Buck Grant for taking Team Hybrid to the top!
