the competitors was very impressive. It was a
fun day of competition with an awesome self
defense demonstration, raffle, great food and
team spirit for family and friends. Special

pictures and poster signings for all the kids.
In addition, we would like to thank

Taylor McCorriston wins
pro MMA debut
 At Cage Combat 10, Taylor
McCorriston made his pro MMA debut weighing in
at 135lbs against Cung Le fighter, Adam Antolin
who carried a 3-0 Muay Thai record and 3-0 MMA
record. Crosley Gracie blue belt, Taylor
controlled the fight in the clinch, scored
several takedowns and was also dominate on the
ground. The round ended with the two Fly Weights
throwing leather, and the crowd chanting "Ninja"
in celebration for McCorriston. The story of the
fight would be the Wrestling dominance and
Jiu-Jitsu experience that would completely
control the fight and earn Taylor the unanimous
decision victory in his pro debut! Congrats
Taylor!!!
Congratulations to Adam
Dunkel for winning his MMA debut
Last night at Travis Air Force Base in
Fairfield, after a tough first round, Adam
dominated his opponent and won by referee
stoppage in the third.
Adam demonstrated true heart after being hit
with some hard shots that threw him off balance.
He managed to get a takedown and finish the
first round striking from the guard. In the second round,
his opponent came out swinging hard again and
after a few exchanges Adam got a beautiful
double leg takedown. The fight went back up and
more exchanges were traded. Adam ended up on the
bottom and perfectly executed a reversal from
half guard to again, end up the round on top
throwing punches. In the third Adam scored some
nice combinations, a takedown and finished his
opponent in the corner with a barrage of
punches. His opponent didn't defend and the ref
stopped the fight. Very exciting match. Pictures
will be uploaded soon.
Congrats Adam!
Promotions and updates
Congrats to Ivan Oseguera, Leigh
Mattson, Andrea Rivera and Tucker Yeley for
receiving their yellow belts. Well deserved!!
