Renee: Hi, my name is Rene Dreifuss.
And I'm here to show you some MMA techniques.
But first I'm going to tell you a little bit about myself and my team.
I started training martial arts when I was six years old.
I trained a lot of variety of martial arts.
I moved to Japan and trained Judo there.
My main instructor was Steve Bower, who, very lucky enough to train under him.
I moved from Japan back to America.
Unfortunately I was hit by a car.
But I was lucky enough to find Brazilian Jitsu, and really find my passion in the art of Brazilian
Jitsu.
And from there I started training and competing in mixed martial arts.
I now run Radical MMA NYC, which is a martial arts, a mixed martial arts school in New York
City.
And I'm sort of more of the grappling oriented instructor.
We have Chris Romulo here, who is a Muy Thai champ.
And he'll tell you a little bit about himself too.
Chris: I'm Chris Romulo, owner and operator of Chrome Martial Training on Rockway Beach.
I've been training in the martial arts for over thirty years.
I've been training in Muy Thai for about sixteen years.
And I've just watched MMA grow, and Muy Thai grow.
And I love the sport and the art.
I still train, teach students in Rockway Beach.
I'm here to show you guys as much knowledge as I can.
Renee: And he's very humble, but he has great Jujitsu too.
And here's Chad Hernandez, my assistant instructor as well.
Chad: Hi, my name is Chad Hernandez.
I am a instructor in Radical MMA.
Also a MMA fighter.
My record is four in one.
I made WK2012 national champion.
I'm originally training Jujitsu and MMA altogether four and a half years.
Under Cultural Ring Practice, Renee Dreifuss.
And definitely one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life.
Man, this changed me as a person.
Renee: Okay, here guys now.
My team and I, we're going to show you what you need to know to get your MMA game started.
Or for those advanced practitioners, a couple tricks that can take your game to the next
level.
