Seasons Beatings

Bell and Lowe set sights on December ROF

By Liz Solano CFL Publicity department

November 22, 2011 Pueblo, CO- Tis’ the season, the familiar smells of cider, pumpkin and spices fill the air. Thoughts of family, food and the impending sound of both ringing registers and jingle bells heralding the arrival of December. And while Santa’s proverbial elves are hard at work preparing for their 4th quarter overtime rush so too are Mixed Martial Artists Donnie Bell and Jered Lowe who will make their respective debuts at Ring of Fire December 17th in Denver. The PWIA/Roughhouse veterans, both since displaced to other cities around the U.S are ready to return and hammer home their indelible mark on this Happy Holiday season.

Captain America
Jered Lowe Returns Home

For US Marine Corporal Jered Lowe serving up an ass whooping comes as natural as serving his country. The 21 year old from Southern Colorado has garnered an unblemished amateur record of 5-0 fighting both at home and abroad. A proud member of the US Marine Corp Fight team Jered was featured in Marine Magazine and recently returned from competition in Beijing China where he bested local favorite Wang Peng in under a minute. And while barely of legal age to drink, Lowe fights with an unmatched resolve and wisdom well beyond his 21 years. However, at Ring of Fire December 17th he will need every tool in his soldier arsenal to take on Grudges highly touted Cody Mumma for the Young Guns 205 lb. strap.

CFL: Jered, tell us about some of your accomplishments it’s been a hectic 2 years for you.

JL: (“laughing”) Yeah well, where do I start? I recently got married to my wife Emmie who is home in Pueblo. I am originally from Lamar Colorado and have been fighting since I joined the Marines. I just got back from fighting overseas in China which was a huge honor for me as an amateur. I am the current 205 lb. CFL champ, and am now 5-0.

CFL: Wow sounds like you have been busy, who are you training with?

JL: It’s a combination, when I am here in San Diego I train with the Marines at The Compound and Bellator vet Sean Loeffler he's been great and guides me a lot out here. When I’m home, I train with the coaches and guys from PWIA and Roughhouse they have been with me since day one.

CFL: Any thoughts of going pro?
JL: Coach Gabe and my coaches here have talked to me about it. I’ll probably go pro sometime next year but I’m not in a huge hurry I want to be battle ready when that day comes.

CFL: So, Ring of Fire one of the biggest cards around are you excited? What do you know about your opponent?

JL: Just that he’s a strong wrestler big and hulked up. And yeah, I’m always excited when I get to fight at home and especially on a big card like ROF. As for game plan, I just work hard and prepare myself for whatever comes and let my coach’s map out the strategy they think would be best. Hopefully, if I show well and win this title the promotion will continue to give me opportunities because it’s the show guys like Duane Ludwig, Nate Mardquart and a lot of those guys got their start on.

CFL: Well, looks like you know exactly which direction you want to go any shout outs or last words?

JL: Of course! My Sponsors: Columbine Chateau, Inkd Out and Wicked Rigs. Conquest MMA, “Take a Nap” clothing and PWIA/Roughhouse. “Big” Sean Loeffler and the crew. My friends, family and wife Emmie. And most of all God and my brothers serving in the US Military.
Thanks for having me!

Hitman for Hire
The “Other” Donnie Bell has a hitlist

In the blockbuster movie The Bourne Identity, our hero played by Matt Damon is an ex-CIA agent who due to a failed asassination attempt develops amnesia. And while possibly not as dramatic a situation, a similar twist of mistaken identity hits close to home for ROF competitor Donnie “The Bomber” Bell. “There is another Donnie Bell who fights out of Colorado.” states the fighter, his soft spoken Texas drawl ever apparent. “That Donnie who fights at heavyweight is older, I fight at 155 and he is not a pro so we always have to be clear when talking to promoters.” Similar in name only, “This “Hitman” Donnie Bell is 155 lbs of solid muscle with a strong wrestling pedigree and extensive early mixed martial arts resume. He will face the daunting task of taking on unbeaten wrestling prodigy and Grudge product Justin Gaethje at Ring of Fire Young Guns Dec 17th. We caught up to Donnie recently who despite making his home in Grand Prairie Texas, has ties to the PWIA Roughhouse fight camp in Colorado often employing their support for cornering strategy or for pre-bout preparation. Here’s what Donnie had to say:

CFL: Does it bother you when people mix you up with the other Donnie?

DB: Not really it is just a detail that we try to warn promoters about beforehand it takes an extra step in the process of negotiating a fight. Especially if their wondering how I can cut to 55 from heavyweight.

CFL: You have been on a tear as of late Donnie tell us about your training regimen:

DB: Well I don’t like excuses and never want to think that others may be training harder than me. I try to stay in the gym and the staff at Metro Flex sports science in Arlington always pushes me to the next level. I’m blessed to have a great training gym in The Fury MMA with good coaches and partners, and I am bringing in the folks from Roughhouse up in Colorado again for this camp. I haven’t had the chance to work with Gabe and Donnie since we fought and won on the Jacksons series and they can benefit me a lot for this fight.

CFL: Tell us about how you see this fight going?

DB: I know he’s a real good wrestler and that’s obviously something he’s going to rely on, but I always believe that people change and adapt especially a gym like Grudge so I am preparing for wherever he would like to take it. I do me, have a lot of faith in myself my training and god and that gives me the strength I need to push the limits every time I train.

CFL: So this being Ring of Fire is a big step for you Donnie what’s next?

DB: I take it fight by fight and remain humble so I don’t get caught up looking past the guy in front of me..

CFL: Thanks for taking the time who would you like to thank?

DB: My friends and family who support me, my mom Sharon, Metro-Flex, F.W. and Team the Fury. All of my training partners, coaches and management, Will Florentino, Gabe, Donnie Liles and Colorado Fam, Ring of Fire and God without whom nothing is possible.

MMA Evolutionary Science By Gabe "Kuya" Charboneau

MMA Evolutionary Science
By Gabe “Kuya” Charboneau

Nature, as a process of selection has proven over and again that given certain environmental factors, the right combination of climate, timing and genetic opportunity coupled with the right organism will produce a progressive perfect storm we know as evolution. And despite being refuted by pseudo religious types, the need for consistent growth and adaptation is an unmistakable and well documented process by which the world decides which species will survive.  Nowhere in the modern era is this scientific course of action more evident than the predatory world of Mixed Martial Arts.

Dawn of an Age
Let’s for a brief moment say that we have an MMA time machine set for the early 90’s. The wild landscape that paved the way for our sports early development was a tumultuous and often unrefined display of antiquated techniques, since disproven training methods and one sided affairs.  This is not to say that there were less then credible representatives for their particular disciplines rather, in stark contrast to the athletes of today, most of the combatants of that period were blue collar “hobbyists” interspersed with a few genuine articles. Of those we would call genuine however, one irrevocable fact rings true, The Gracie name ruled the wilds with an iron fist. Kick-boxers karateka and wrestlers all fell prey and as the legacy spread, so too did evolutions need to level the playing field, thus the era of ground and pound was born.

Super Predators
With the sport of Mixed Martial arts experiencing a surge in interest, the need to develop a fresh crowd pleasing talent pool of fighters to satisfy the growing number of consumers ensued. Competitors had to be bigger, stronger and meaner than had been known prior and this group, many of them accomplished world class athletes had a newfound realization. Wrestlers were now cross-training on a broader scale and it became apparent that by establishing positional dominance and negating sub attempts they could themselves rain down heavy shots and invariably shut the Brazilian game down. The heavyweight tournament of UFC 14 heralded the arrival of the super predators, Mark Kerr, Kevin Jackson and Mark Coleman who like their Jurassic counterparts a million years prior would establish the longest reign of the sports history but as “show business” refined into sport business we would soon again see a turning of the tides.


Full Circle
Today, mixed martial arts are part and partial of the fabric of modern sports. Today’s modern athletes are well oiled machines built for optimum performance and well rounded to handle any number of situations.  No longer competing to prove or disprove combative theory or familial pride, they are personalities each with human interest backstories, celebrities, heroes and far beyond what anyone in the early stages could have conceived. Notably, it is the re-emergence of the striking game streamlined and functional that is proving the newest genetic mutation in the ever changing evolution of the sport. To the delight of boxing enthusiasts the world over one can now witness the staccato rhythm of a slick jab cross combination followed by liver and body shots and even the occasional acrobatic spinning technique.  And while all of this is supported by an advanced network of takedown defense interspersed with wrestling and BJJ it is only the latest progression in mans quest to wage war for sport. This begs the question, what next? With each succeeding generation natural selection decides which life forms survive, which fail and which variations in form and function will last the millennia. The next game changing Gracie is out there, waiting to be found. - Kuya

"Axe To Grind" Ryan Axtell Set for Greatness

"Axe" To Grind Ryan Axtell Set for Greatness
By CFL Publicity Department

Imagine a world that many desire to conquer but few dare to tread, where 55’rs fear to cut and 25’rs find themselves outsized. A foreboding landscape with war gods named Cruz, Faber and Bowles. Welcome to the world of the Bantamweight. Often called one of the most stacked divisions in the sport, Colorado’s own Ryan Axtell seeks to leave his indelible mark at 135.

Paying Dues

A 7-3 pro veteran of the Colorado Mixed Martial Arts scene, Ryan has been diligently fighting an uphill battle for respect and recognition since early 2007. “I come from the Arkansas Valley a small farm community in the Southeast part of the state and it’s hard for me to get the same exposure guys from the big cities do,” stated Axtell. To that end, he would often find himself the out of town “mark” for the local fighters in the major markets. States Ryan, “Over the years I’ve pissed off a lot of hometown crowds who came to see their fan favorite beat up the country boy.” Often out skilled and outsized in those days, Ryan bested many opponents using only a combination of wrestling base, pure physicality and a gut wrenching resolve that worked well and often. However back to back losses against respected competitors in Mike Baldwin and WEC veteran Ox Wheeler left him wondering about his chances of competing at the higher levels. “I basically had to start making better training decisions for myself, I knew I had the heart and made a promise that I would seek out the skills to match.” Axtell soon became a fixture in the Denver and Northern Colorado gym scene soaking up as much knowledge as he could and eventually along with friend James Gallegos they established a small training camp called Valley Heights in their hometown of La Junta for both Ryan to train and to provide opportunities for local kids who had ideas of pursuing the same dream. The formula seemed to be paying off as Axtell, seemingly reinvigorated began his road to comeback glory by putting together a string of early 1st round victories and knockouts that could only be described as unadulterated violence.

Today

With growing responsibilities, a family and new baby on the way Ryan Axtell became increasingly tethered closer to home. In search of a gym with less travel time involved and under the advisement of a friend he sought out Gabe Charboneau’s Pacific Warrior in Pueblo, he’s glad he did. “The guys there treat me like family, and who knew after looking all over the state that I would find some of the best training there,.” This statement was punctuated during his next bout with Bellator veteran Chad Vandenberg which ended early via a vicious left hook/ TKO combination, a tool that was previously unknown in his arsenal. As the 28 year old small town underdog from La Junta Colorado trudges on where others fear to tread one thing remains clear, Ryan Axtell means business.. War Gods beware.

Quality Control Coaching MMA’s Missing Ingredient

Quality Control Coaching MMA’s Missing Ingredient

I recently had the good fortune of meeting up with an old friend from years ago Kru Oscar Martinez at an event in which I was coaching and he was officiating for the Colorado State Athletic Commission. During the course of our conversation, we spoke about what we were currently up to and reminisced about our early days in the sport. This brought back a flood of fond memories, spawned some questions about the direction MMA has taken and where we each saw it going in the future. And while the focus of this article as the title alludes to is quality control coaching, I would for a moment ask that you grant me an opportunity to share with you a special piece of history that is gone forever, one that had a monumental impact on our sports development and yet the masses will never know it existed.

Early Development

When I first began competing somewhere around circa 1995-96 there was no such thing as Mixed Martial Arts. At the time the activity that would later become known as such was simply referred to as either “Pit-Fighting or NHB (No Holds Barred). During this embryonic period there was a little promotion ran out of Bing Tran’s CMGA in Littleton, Colorado called The Lone Wolf Tournament. This event was true gladiatorial combat at it’s finest. Weight classes spanned 40lb differentials, up to 20 minute time limits were the norm, you could fight numerous times in a night and the bouts were set up to showcase different skillsets. This means that there might be a Muay Thai match followed by a grappling match followed by an NHB bout and oh what glorious time it was. While these fights remain for the most part obscure and unrecorded by history or sanctioning body I was blessed to witness near teenagers at the time with names like Ludwig, Kronk, Mardquart and Waterman enter the arena of battle years before they would become legends of the UFC. I remember Oscar Martinez winning end of the night honors for Muay Thai and many like Donnie Martinez, Joe Montalvo and big John Patrone from the Defense Institute all who would go on to be great teachers themselves make their fighting debuts alongside me.

End of An Era

However with the arrival of the new millennium, came regulation of the sport by the boxing commission. This signaled the death rattle of unsanctioned events in Colorado and the sport, by now called MMA continued to experience exponential growth much like the ninja craze had done a decade beforehand. As with any opportunistic endeavor everyone rushed out to monetize on the newfound cash cow and what ensued, both good and bad created the springboard for what we now know as our sport today.

Coaching Chaos
It is my observation that MMA grew large so fast in such a short amount of time that it never quite had a chance to fully develop uniform teaching structures, well rounded coaches and business models on average to support the amount of “gyms” and “fight teams” that were popping up on every street corner. This is certainly not meant to accuse, point fingers, or paint anyone with a negative brush as there are of course many reputable gyms/teams in my home state of Colorado and around the world. Rather, I hope this article will serve as a conduit for introspection, one that can help us all get better at what we do. Now, if we look at the sport as a whole we will see that there are really 3 major types of teaching models. Please take into account that all approaches have good and bad points I am merely generalizing each one for a big picture perspective.

1. The training “group” this is the team in which noone on average has a clearly defined role except usually the “team manager” who supplies the t-shirts and promotional items and usually takes the role of matchmaking for the group as well. In this model we see individuals who come together to work toward a common goal and for the exchange of knowledge and techniques i.e. one has done boxing the other some jujitsu, a few are wrestlers etc. This comprises the most common category today at an amateur level though this does not exclude them from having pros in their stable. They are often tight knit and bound by friendship at their core. The advantages of this type of group are trust and loyalty, the downside is often training space, resources and equipment.

2. The traditional school who, seeing their profit centers shrink in lieu of mixed martial arts decides to add an mma class/team. This school has primarily relied on traditional arts involving cardio, kids and self defense. However, because the popularity of MMA is unmistakable they will either bring in an affiliate grappling program and or hire an instructor and by mixing their kickboxing with grappling they are able to stave off profit loss by diversifying with MMA. The advantages of this group are usually very clean facilities and usually well equipped but on the norm do not have access to very MMA specific resources as it pulls capital away from their primary focus women, children and cardio.


3. The barber shop is based off the same model as well ,a barber shop. An owner buys a building and sublets or leases different time slots and classes to provide a variety of curriculum to choose from. Usually this includes a boxing coach, a Muay Thai Kru, A wrestling coach, and BJJ coach. This model is usually the most successful of the 3 approaches and keeps pro fighters at the forefront of priority. Advantages of this program are very much resource based, cage equipment high quality instruction the downsides are lack of personalized focus on beginner levels, and if there’s not enough communication you have several different disciplines telling you several different ways to do things in which none may be specific for mma.

The Future
As far as this sport has come and continues to mold and evolve today, it can always get better. We as coaches need more quality control in our programs. There are many coaches who have no idea how to break down their techniques and skillsets in a manner that allows one to set up the next. I see too many “friends” in corners when what an athlete really needs is a coach. I see coaches who’s idea of advice for their fighter while he’s getting pounded is simply: “be stronger” or “take him down”! I have seen 3 different coaches yelling 3 different commands in unison while their poor discombobulated guy is having a hard enough time listening to one. I have seen world class reputable gyms fumbling around locker rooms asking to borrow scissors or for someone to wrap their fighter’s hands. The defining point here is that we as a community of professionals (and amateurs) need to step up to the plate and better learn our jobs. We need to stop being so vain and ask for help in learning things we don’t know. That means, learn how to teach, learn how to do a lesson plan so we are not doing something different every day that we won’t see again for two months until we have forgotten it. It means structuring progressive, comprehensive programs that take a student from point a to point b, it means learning that sparring and rolling at a 100 percent every day doesn’t make you look tough it guarantees you a short career. Coaches need to learn how to strategize, do homework, how to game plan, how to cut weight and prepare properly and most importantly safely. We have an opportunity here to create the next generation of mixed martial arts greats and they will be a direct byproduct of the training environments they are bred in. So, no matter which of the 3 gym types you fall under, let’s help this next generation of greats put their best foot forward.-

"Defenders of the Flame" lighting the pathway for 52 Handblocks boxing

Preface
Over the last several years many “authorities” have come forth to try and discredit what we know as 52 blocks, Stato, Jailhouse Rock, or any of the other generational or geographic terms associated with this style of pugilism. While It’s modern roots can be found everywhere from breakdancing to professional boxing there are those who refuse to even believe it exists much less consider it a codified method of self defense. I can only speak on that which I know and while I am also a professional MMA and striking coach my core is Filipino Martial arts in fact =29 years and 3 generations worth of practitioners. To this end I would ask, what are the parameters set forth by the naysayers as to whether a martial art is considered legitimate?

Tribal structure the “Common Thread”
Before you set fire to my flag here, please take a moment to realize the commonalities in the two. To the case in point for people like Phil Elmore, FMA would not qualify as a codified martial art due either to lack of written records, scrolls and other circumstances which would seem foreign to those outside this culture and especially those in western mindset who need rational explanation of everything in their world. So too then would all of the martial heritage of Polynesia and Melanesia where oral traditions were the standard due to lack of written record.
This would conclude then that longstanding warrior traditions like Hawaiian Lua, Maori Rongomamau or Rakau, and many others of those regions are less than legitimate as well right? Wrong. Let’s first look at the similarities in societal structure where martial arts remain social, and are not so much rigid as methods of play and self defense handed down over generations under the watchful eye of an elder or big brother who will in turn add his personal “tricks” or flavor that have proven effective for himself over time. This is the same as traditional African methods of martial technology and is largely due to the history of tribal structure versus what we think of as contemporary Asian martial arts. In FMA you have what we call systems, but within systems you also have “styles” which often refer to certain methods of defense or combinations of specific techniques within a system. i.e ocho-ocho or “figure 8 movement” or Crossada or “crossing style” of play.

The Claim of Racism
So why then is it unfathomable to think that at least loose groupings of techniques herein called the 52 blocks could be passed down orally by demonstration, or mimickry through the "play" as stated before? I find it funny that Mr. Elmore referred to the 52 in context as a “racist martial art” due to the supposed opposition to teaching outsiders. Is this not the root of all martial arts? The term martial itself implies warfare and martial arts in this case, would be designed as a method of self preservation against an oppressor whether it be a slave owner or prison guards and therefore whomever was responsible for passing it on would be thoroughly justified in teaching only whomever they deemed worthy.

While I agree that the history is a bit hazy I believe that there are enough unrelated sources who have witnessed this style of play in action, or corroborated life experience either through training or otherwise over the years to deem that there are unmistakeable commonalities in the movements of its purported practitioners to support 52's existence. Even if it is a rebirth or revival of something thought not to exist, then why is the effort to propagate it as such not enough for the masses to qualify it as a martial art? In Cambodia and Thailand you have many trying to revive various older or near forgotten arts and they are considered legitimate. Lua was only rebirthed and reborn through Olohe Charles Kenn’s extensive work with his students Dr. Mitchell Eli and Richard Paglinawan and David Nu’uhiwa so why not 52? FMA continues to be rebuilt and modernized all the time because its dynamic and flexible adaptations to current environments and needs are the keys to it's effectiveness. One could at any point make the same arguments against other modern arts like Kapap, Krav Maga or even Aikido which was only born this century.

To the future
While I as a mere disciple of the craft of 52 and the sweet science of boxing agree that more research is necessary, that is for the black community to do This is their backyard, their treasure to unearth and revive, and their right to preserve what is theirs. All others should be honorable enough to respect that before anyone rushes out to discredit it due to lack of understanding. I am content to believe that many of the techniques contained within its categories are effective and viable and have been proven so for a long time whether it be in a 1920’s or modern era prize ring, the urban streets of 1970’s Bronx or Brooklyn, a beach in Gullah 100 years ago or today by the Constellation family who are now fighting hard to revive and rebirth this gift for the betterment of our youth.
End Note:
Playing the 5's along with my Filipino Martial arts has given me a fun spark, a unique yet familiar and well rounded approach to my boxing practice that I hadn’t felt in a long time. Peace be unto the elders and keepers of the flame good luck in your research.

Fight To The Top

Fight To The Top
Southern Colorado MMA Team vies for top honors again.
By CFL Publicity Department

Pueblo, CO November 3, 2011- While the fastest growing sport in the world top honors are generally relegated to major markets with large resources and training facilities one local team is seeking a 2nd year run at it’s Colorado crown. Team PWIA/Roughhouse with locations in Colorado Springs and Pueblo earned the number two ranking last year at the 2010 Colorado Fight League Awards following closely on the heels of Thomas Denny’s “Team Wildman” of Denver. In their breakout year Denny’s war machine had a stellar season after only 8 months of competition and in doing so created a whirlwind of excitement over what was to come in 2011. PWIA/Roughhouse have stepped it up as well and look toward a nomination on the larger stage this year in the Denver awards contingent for 2011. The fight team is headed by a staff of world class coaches like 2010 wrestling coach of the year Keith Wilson and Tori Adams, longtime standup coach Gabe “Kuya” Charboneau and pro MMA veteran Donnie Liles along with top corner/cut-man Haven Torres.
“I am very proud of what we were able to accomplish this year, stated the seasoned Liles who made his brilliant return to the cage in October over the ever the dangerous Jeremy Kimball from last years winning team. “We were extremely active and while you of course can’t win them all we consider it an honor to step up against reputable competitors from respected camps like Greg Jacksons, Team Wildman, Keith Jardine’s Mean1 MMA, internationally in Amaan, Jordan and we are finishing out this year fighting in Beijing China.”

“When asked for his thoughts on the nomination, Charboneau had this to say. “ Colorado has so much talent available in the form of individuals, teams, and coaches,” “I think it all boils down in a case like this to simply being more active throughout the year.” In 2010 we ended up at 27-7 this year, we are 27-10 but we still have 2 months left. That’s a lot of time on the road, a lot of time in the gym and ultimately good planning and strategy. Charboneau continued; “More pros are coming to us now from out of state and some have decided to stay on and become staff themselves so we are excited to see great things continue into 2012. Guys like 2x Cage Rage champ and grappling coach Pride Robinson, Bruce Ries and undefeated striker Jeff Santos are not only working hard in the gym on their own careers but have committed their talents to our coaching staff and we’ll be a better team for it.
