The HTC is proud to provide Zone Healing Chiropractic on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Dr. Nick Balovich, and avid martial artist and Zone Healer will be providing this revolutionary form of chiropractic to the students of HTC and the first appointment is FREE! Take advantage of this amazing treatment used by MMA legends and BJJ champions such as BJ Penn, Bas Rutten, Eddie Bravo, and John Macahdo to keep them in peak physical, mental, and spiritual health.
Here is what BJ Penn has to say about Zone Healing:
“I was a little skeptical and hesitant at first [of Zone Healing], but the alternative was to get surgery,” says Penn, who, at one point, could not lift his arm over his head. When Goldman made the initial adjustment, the discomfort was gone in 60 seconds, says Penn. When Goldman moved to the next area, the treatment and results were the same. “It was pretty crazy,” says Penn. “I still work with him to this day to help tune me up for my fights. Call it whatever you want, but the stuff works.”
Our ver own Team Hybrid Coach has been treated extensively by Dr. Nick Balovich over the last year and had this to say about him:
Dr. Nick has done an excellent job of melding the physical side of chiropractic work with the emotional side of everyday life. He has done an amazing job of keeping me whole during my most trying times and I cannot thank him enough.

Tony Blauer, founder of Blauer Tactical and the S.P.E.A.R (Spontaneous Protection Enabling Accelerated Response) system, visited the HTC on Thursday October 29th to share his unique system with our very own Team Hybrid.
The S.P.E.A.R. SYSTEM™ is a ‘behaviorally’ researched, close quarter personal defense method that utilizes the body’s natural flinches and reactions to fear or violence and then converts these reactions into efficient tactical choices. Because the system is “Genetically wired and behaviorally inspired™”, anybody can learn it and everybody can do it.
Keeping an opened minded approach to our training has separated Team Hybrid and the Hybrid Training Center from the rest of our competition.
MMA fighters such as BJ Penn, Randy Couture, Uriah Faber, and Frank Mir have utilized Baluers methods to become world class competitors. Blauers’ methods were very applicable to out systems and will be seen in a cage near you soon!
Special thanks goes to Tony Bauer for sharing his knowledge with our Team. We appreciate your passion, enthusiasm, and pure genius. We were very grateful to have trained with you.
The Hybrid Training Center will have its grand opening November 14th starting at 10am. This will be an all day event complete with raffles, games and prizes, as well as free classes and demonstrations.
