You don’t have to be first, you just have to be best.
M
any of you might not know that I have an MBA in Marketing & International Management (but it only really matters if you’re working for someone else). One of the foundational concepts in Marketing is the idea of the First-mover Advantage (FMA) – this concept basically states that a business can gain a significant advantage when trying to sell stuff if they’re the first to market. To put it into an easily understood idiom, “The Early Bird Gets the Worm”. This idea makes sense and you can see it all around – in school, sports & life. A common saying in fighting is “get off first” meaning you should be the first to strike in a fight. The idea being that if you initiate the attack then you will somehow get the upper hand. Willie Parks paid homage to this belief recently when, after winning his fight at the Jackson’s Series fights at the Hard Rock, he said that his game plan was to “come out fast, get off first, and dominate his opponent”. And that’s exactly what he did. However, a recent study from the University of Utah refutes this long-standing belief in the FMA. They talk about the First-mover Disadvantage and how going to market first can oftentimes be the reason a company fails. There are many examples of companies who were first to market but, since they weren’t the best, they failed (think MySpace vs. Facebook). Sometimes the company that starts later in the game has the advantage of being able to learn from the first guy’s mistakes, not make them, and make a better company without wasting all the money and time. KNUXX is struggling with this right now. We are the first fight publication in the world that is trying to do what we’re doing (as far as I can tell). We are the first, and only, local fight paper that focuses on local gyms, fighters, and events and we’re working to build an entire network of papers all under the KNUXX brand. There will soon be a KNUXX of Northern Colorado, a KNUXX of Western Texas and other KNUXX papers (let us know if you’re interested in starting a paper in your market). We’re the first and we HAVE TO BE THE BEST if our plan is to succeed. Thankfully, sometimes being first means you are the best. Holly Holm (our cover fighter this month) wants to be the first female fighter to hold titles in multiple disciplines – Boxing and MMA. Being first in that category definitely would leave no question about whether she is the best. The female MMA fighters we profile in this issue are still walking on the trail that was started by great people like Arlene Sanchez-Vaughn and others before her. They aren’t the first female fighters but they are definitely some of the best right now! Please enjoy this look at some of the toughest fighters around who happen to be women.

ith so much going on in life, it’s too easy to become frustrated and upset. Falling into a depression and just complaining about things that really are out of our control. They say the devil never sleeps and he will find his chance to annoy, tempt and distract you from your goal. Now you don’t have to be religious to understand that it is up to you to make something happen. We all want that “one chance”, that “big break” we deserve. I ask you, what are you waiting for? Why do you create your own walls to jump over, place road blocks where there should be a highway to your goals. I was told a few lines by some clients this week ... “I’m not a balls-out-go-getter!” “You don’t know what its like to have this kind of job!” “I can’t do any of those things!” “I don’t think it’s worth the money or effort!” “My responsibility to my kids keeps me from doing what I want!” Wow, I can’t stop some of your thoughts but know that thoughts become your faith. What you believe transcends into ultimately why you are where you are in life. We all have obstacle to overcome ... money, love, relationships, kids, family, issues, and concerns, and pain knows no enemy. He will strike and stay with you until your strong enough to let it all go.
Make the choice to be better...say “I CAN” and take that 1st, 2nd, and 3rd step towards your goal. Never speak of yourself with discouragement, instead move into a more creative mind set. Harmony can come to your soul and inner spirit thru creativity and ingenuity, allowing gratitude to flow freely. Gratitude will unify your thoughts with faith and hope forming a new found intelligence and comfort. Think of your goal and never lose sight of it. But I ask you to never wish for your dream. Wishes come with contemplation and negative influence. Instead have a burning desire to have, to achieve, and to create. Desires come with action; they are impressive in nature and are a living force to be dealt with. Desires are thoughts with intense purpose. The drive to do today and not put off till tomorrow. Purpose, with the realization of the mental image at hand, is a powerful tool for achieving the dream. Your dream must become a goal and a goal comes with a deadline. Your will certainly encounter hardships, battle demons and endure being uncomfortable. But one will never know the true essence of pleasure with out the experience of pain.

Femme Fatales
there until 2001. It was while she worked at the nightclub that she met Tom Vaughn. The two opened FIT NHB in 1998, and married in 1999. Their vision for FIT NHB was to have a place to create champion fighters, such as Carlos Condit. Although he now trains at Jackson’s MMA, Condit began his career in cagefighting at FIT, under the instruction of Vaughn, and trained from the time he was 15, for 9 years. She required him to practice knees 1000 times/ day, among many other tasks, and he became the first world champion in the WEC from Albuquerque. Vaughn even took him to Thailand for 1-1/2 months to train in native Muay Thai. Although Condit moved on to other facilities, FIT is still home to champions, and they are the Southwest representatives of King of the Cage. Vaughn is in charge of training in boxing, kickboxing and Muay Thai, while her husband trains fighters in their ground game. Although Vaughn was a highly successful fighter, she didn’t discuss her profession with many, due to the “stupid comments”, belittling and degrading, that she’d heard in the past. Also, at the time she competed, there were virtually no sponsors, especially for
women. But the world is changing, MMA is the fastest growing sport, and female cagefighting is becoming more and more popular, especially in organizations like Strikeforce. Vaughn’s advice for women wanting to be fighters: “If fighting is your passion, follow it! Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t!” prime product of FIT NHB’s training is Brenda Gonzales, professional cagefighter and boxer, with a record of 2-0 in both areas. Gonzales is from Moriarty, NM, where she went to high school. She has always loved sports, and played basketball, volleyball, softball, and baseball, and has always exercised and worked out in weight rooms. About 2 years ago, she met and began dating KOTC Jr. Welterweight Champion, Tim Means. She had always loved watching UFC, so when he invited her to come train at FIT, she went eagerly. Very soon, FIT became like her second home. She participated in 3 amateur matches before going professional in October 2010 with boxing, and in MMA in May 2011. Gonzales has faced numerous obstacles in her road to becoming a professional fighter, some of which were in place long before she began to train. She lost her father to

eet Coach Arlene SanchezVaughn- Fighter, Mother, Bouncer, Trainer, Gym Owner, Mentor, US Solder, Paramedic - she really is every woman, and a role model for any woman (or man for that matter) interested in becoming a professional cagefighter, kickboxer or boxer. She moved to Albuquerque as a teenager, with a strong background in Olympic swimming, but was forced to lay aside that dream, due to lack of proper training facilities in the area (at that time.) A somewhat “angry, rebellious teenager”, Vaughn got into several street fights (none of which she lost, thanks to boxing instruction by her father from the time she was 4-years-old). Right out of high school, she got married and had her daughter, then, with the support of her family, she began training with the legendary Bill Packer. She had her first karate match only 2 weeks later, and won by breaking her opponent’s nose; “I realized I had a God-given gift.” She was undefeated as an amateur and went on to take every amateur belt in the states of New Mexico, Texas, Arizona and Colorado. After 2 years of training with Mr. Packer, Vaughn turned professional; the first 2 years in karate, the next 2 years in kickboxing. In 1984 she won the 1st US title in kickboxing, as a featherweight in the WKA. She competed for several other organizations: PKA, WKC, IKKC, and ISKA. The founder and promoter of ISKA, Scott Coker, flew Vaughn around the world to compete; Canada, Mexico, Japan, and The Netherlands – she won the ISKA World Cup in Holland. Coker is also
the founder and CEO of Strikeforce, an MMA promotional organization recently acquired by Zuffa. In 1986, Vaughn joined the US Army, as a 91B paramedic; her unit, the 351st MASH, was the last female infantry to go through, and the last field hospital unit. In 1993, Vaughn blew out her ACL, but continued to train and fight, being the only female at that time to train with Mr. Packer. By this time, she also became Mr. Packer’s kick trainer. In 1995, she fought her last professional match, against Freda Gibbs, lost the match, and decided it was time to retire. However, she continued to instruct and train with Mr. Packer until late 1997. Vaughn remained active in the Army until 1994, after which, she became a bouncer at the Zone night club –the only female bouncer in New Mexico, at the time, and she stayed

ALS in 2002, after he suffered for 3 years, and she still grieves him. Now, her mother has cancer, and Gonzales struggles to keep her head up at times, but she says, “Training hard and fighting help keep me sane.” She’s heard negative comments, people wanting to share opinions about women fighting, customers (from her waitressing days) commenting on articles hanging up on the walls. However, about a year ago, she stopped waitressing to train full time, and now supplements her fight income with private lessons, which also adds more time to training, something Gonzales considers a bonus. “I am blessed to have Arlene in my corner, she knows what she’s talking about and doing, and is like a mother to all of us. I love my team, coaches; they push me every day. Without them, I wouldn’t have come so far to be here.”

Jena Vasquez

ena Vasquez has been involved in the world of combat sports in New Mexico for more than a decade. A mother of three, she first became involved in martial arts when her eldest son (then 5-yearsold) started kickboxing; she and her husband soon joined in. At first it was only to stay in shape, but she soon became interested in competing. A couple months later, she had her first fight for Winkeljohn’s AKKA. Because she had a background in accounting, she took over as treasurer of Rosales Karate and Kickboxing, then a non-profit organization. Tragically, just after that first match, she was involved in life-changing car accident, which put her in the hospital for 11 weeks. She returned to the dojo just 3 weeks after her return home, still wanting to train and fight, but her husband and Sigung Rosales forbade it. Instead, Rosales recommended she start officiating for combat sports. So she began to take classes to earn her judging credentials; she now holds Certifications in USA Boxing (Corner & Judge), ABC Boxing (Judge) and was the first Certified Female MMA Judge for the New Mexico Athletic Commission (NMAC). Over the last 12 years, Jena has officiated as a ringside judge for 600+ rounds of amateur kickboxing and boxing, as well as over 100 rounds of amateur and professional MMA. In 2007, she and her entire family moved to Jackson-Winkeljohn’s MMA as members. She began to work for Mike Winkeljohn, first as his personal assistant, then, because of her experience in working for the NMAC, she also helped
to put together a couple of smokers. In 2010, she was referred to Fresquez Productions “Double Threat” card, which featured UFC veteran Keith Jardine and Holly Holm, making her MMA debut. This was a tremendous experience for her, not just being involved on such a notable card, but also because she had been a judge for Holm while she was still an amateur kickboxer. Most recently, she was asked once again, by Lenny Fresquez and Doris Robinson of Fresquez Productions, to assist on the “Clash in the Cage” card, which features Holm vs. Finney, and Marx vs. Lovato. “ It has been an honor and a privilege to work for Mr. Lenny Fresquez and Mr. Mike Winkeljohn; the experience and opportunity mean the world to me.” Recently, she left Jackson’s and Winkeljohn, to pursue a business partnership with Scott Marlow, Judgment MMA Management and Associates LLC (www. judgmentmma.com), an organization put together for the purpose of managing of MMA events, sponsors and fighters, both amateur and professional. Vasquez continues to be one of the Southwest’s “Go-to-Girls”, as a judge, matchmaker and promoter. “I work hard and I purposely go the extra mile because I enjoy helping others. When I became involved in MMA on the professional level (officiating) my goal was to be prepared for if my sons ever decide to get into the Cage. I wanted to know exactly how everything works from Sanctioning bodies to fighting organizations, contracts, promoters, managers, sponsors, coaches, gyms and teammates. I do mean every aspect. I’m growing and learning every day. I’ve made a lot of good friends along the way and hope to make many more.”

Tim
”Dirty Bird”
This month’s Quick Count consists of interviews with two MMA professionals. “Home” (a NM Homegrown Fighter) features Moriarty, NM native, and King of the Cage double titleholder-Tim Means. “Away” (not a born native of NM) focuses on a Utah homespun, victor of the “Clash in the Cage” co-main event-Travis Marx. Each were asked five specific questions and asked to give short, to the point, responses.
Q1>You’re nicknamed “Dirty Bird”. Where did the name come from? A1>I dyed my hair red for one of my early amateur fights, one of my teammates gave it to me as a joke, and it just stuck. Q2>You hold two titles with the MMA organization King of the Cage and also box professionally. I know you want to hold a title as a boxer-if you had to choose between being a titleholder in only one, which would it be? A2>MMA-because I have the many tools it takes, and get to use them. Q3>What drew you to become a professional fighter? A3>The way I looked at life. I enjoy fighting and always fought as a child, after high school I knew that’s what I wanted to pursue. Q4>Your profile considers your style as a “wrestler”. You box and I’ve watched you in the cage, your stand-up stands out. What’s your take on your style? A4>I consider my style “mixed martial arts”. I prefer to give fans what they want-and they don’t want to watch fighters hug each other out there! Q5>Your work in training kids is worth mentioning. Why is this important to you? A5>Because I get the chance to show them how to vent anger, and how to focus it in a positive way, like competing

Interviewed one week before “Clash in the Cage” September 9, 2011 with the understanding that “The Quick Count” would be printed after the fight Q1>This will be your fifth fight of the year. Before that you went just over a year with only one fight, why? A1>Transition, the move from my home in Salt Lake City along with a dirt bike injury sustained in November 2009. I also was still involved in my full time career (Utah State Trooper). Q2>You’re known as a wrestler, as well as your opponent is in your upcoming bout. Do you plan any tactical surprises? A2>No surprises. I’m looking for a stand-up battle, but I’m not afraid to go to the ground. Q3>Utah State Trooper (Travis’ profession before professional MMA), was that just a job to hold you over until you blossomed as a pro MMA competitoror did your pro MMA ambitions sprout from serving in law enforcement? A3>Being a State Trooper was going to be my life. I met Jeremy Horn (MMA legend, S.L.C. gym owner and promoter for “Jeremy Horn’s Elite Fight Night”). Jeremy invited me to train and from that I got the bug. Q4>Where did the name “T-Train” come from? A4>It started in high school football. When I started fighting I was told I had to have a nickname and I used that one, it just stuck. Q5>You’ve been in Albuquerque over a year from Salt Lake City. Why Albuquerque? A5>One reason-to train at Jackson/Winklejohn.

ulie “Fireball” Kedzie has been a professional fighter since 2004, fighting of Jackson/Winkeljohn MMA with a record of 16-9. Her most recent fight was for Strikeforce on July 30 of this year, and she was scheduled to fight for them again in September, but was forced to drop out due to an injury. She is well known for fighting in the first televised women’s MMA match, against Gina Carano, for Elite XC. She has headlined for the Jackson’s MMA Series, participated in a reality TV show (which has not yet been released), and has multiple titles and accomplishments. She began training in Tae Kwon Do from the time she was 5, moved to Indiana when she was 12, and attended Indiana University, where she received her BA in English Literature. She started training at Monroe County Martial Arts, where she studied with Steve and Linda Scott, later went to train with Debi Purcell (first female winner for KOTC), then on to James Clingerman at the Indiana Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy. In 2006, she met Greg Jackson at one of her fights, and he invited her to come and train at his facility. Shortly afterward, she was scheduled for a fight in Russia, and decided to call Jackson to see if he would corner her. He agreed, on the condition that she come train at Jackson’s. She considered the offer, and accepted, wanting to face a whole new pool of opponents. After the fight, she left her job, her boyfriend and all of her life in Indiana, and moved to Albuquerque, where she has been ever since, training and working for Jackson as his full-time personal assistant. When she is not training or working for Jackson, Kedzie enjoys spending time at the lake and the zoo, going to art museums, and reading.
M
omma D Jo Jones is a conditioning/fitness/nutrition coach to several fighters at Jackson’s MMA. Although occupied full time by her various clients, she feels most defined by her passion of motorcycle riding andprefers to ride by herself. She got her start in fitness and personal training 26 years ago, when she got a wake-up call from her doctor. At that time she was unhealthy, borderline hypertensive, and together with a high-risk family history, she decided to take her health into her own hands. She started by changing her basic behaviors in diet and exercise, and now healthy living is just a part of who she is. Three years ago, while working as an extra on the set of Terminator, filmed here in NM, she met Jackson’s professional fighter, Jerome Martinez. While discussing fitness, he realized she could help him in his own personal conditioning and asked her to come to the gym with him. She showed up to Jackson’s on Big Bertha, her motorcycle which was recently inducted into the National Motorcycle Museum, in full cowboy gear, including hat and chaps,
with her knives strapped to her legs. Since then, she has worked with many other fighters, such as Tom Watson, Jake Murphy, Diego Sanchez, Clay Guida, Brian Stann and Johnny Bones Jones. The ability to work with whomever she chooses did not come easily, “but I’ve paid my dues,” said Jones. Now, she is the one approached by fighters wanting to take their conditioning to the next level. When asked what her routine is, she responded “Each fighter trains differently, and I train them and treat them each differently depending on personality, toughness, and discipline.” In general, however, she trains them in cardio first, and strength training, followed up by full massage and muscle work. She continues takes her own fitness very seriously, and conducts her own workout first thing in the morning, before she meets with any of her fighters. She is certified in strength and conditioning, sports nutrition, personal training, and group exercise, but she feels that her actual experience in training, past all of the education and papers, is what gives her the true knowledge and understanding of the athlete’s body.

ichelle “Karate Hottie” Waterson is a professional fighter out of Jackson/Winkeljohn MMA, with an impressive record of 8-3. She grew up learning karate from the age of 10, with local church instructor Charles Wood, eventually attaining her black belt in American Free Style Karate. She has also trained in Chinese Wu Shu, and Muay Thai and even went to Thailand with mother when she was 19. She moved back to Denver, where she became a ring girl for local fight promotions. In 2006, she decided she wanted to fight, so she began training with Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone. She went directly into professional fighting, with only 4 amateur kickboxing matches and no MMA bouts. She trained for 4 weeks prior to her professional MMA debut, which she won by decision. ...continued on page 13

“Conditioned”
by Kelly Tekin M.S.
Kelly Tekin is the Strength and Conditioning coach to many MMA athletes. Most notably the current Light Heavyweight Champion, Jon “Bones” Jones. INTRODUCTION The goal of any athlete or coach is improvement in performance. The most common goal of an MMA athlete is to increase speed and explosiveness. Heredity tends to play a substantial role, but regardless of genetic makeup, any athlete can get faster and more explosive with the proper training. There are a number of ways to increase speed and power, and they all include training specifically the Fast Twitch (Type II) muscle fibers. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FAST TWITCH AND SLOW TWITCH MUSCLE FIBERS There are two major types of muscle fibers in the body. Slow Twitch (Type I) muscle fibers are the fibers that, like their name, fire slowly. They are very efficient in using oxygen to generate energy over a long period of time. They are known for their endurance, as they do not fatigue easily. Fast Twitch (Type II) muscle fibers are fibers that fire much more quickly than slow twitch fibers. Because these fibers fire so quickly, they are capable of producing a great amount of power. Fast Twitch fibers are recruited in fast, short bursts of power. Most people have about 50% slow twitch and 50% fast twitch muscle fibers in their bodies. However, an avid marathon runner may be predominately Slow Twitch, whereas an Olympic 100 Meter sprinter may be predominately Fast Twitch. It is indisputable that an MMA athlete must train both fiber types. From a strength and conditioning standpoint, an MMA athlete will be successful if he or she has the endurance to fight for three to five rounds. This endurance comes from training the slow twitch fibers. The necessary bursts of power in the fight, come from training the fast twitch fibers. This article will focus on fast twitch muscle fiber training. TRIPLE EXTENSION MOVEMENTS The explosive exercises known as the Triple Extension Movements include lifts such as the notorious Power Clean or the Clean and Jerk. These athletic movements are called triple extension movements, because when executed correctly, the athlete should obtain extension of three joints (the ankles, knees, and hips). The importance of these exercises to the athlete’s physical development has been well documented. Triple extension power movements are essential for every athlete in order to train the fast twitch fibers. These exercises increase speed, power and strength. The triple extension movements are not recommended for beginning athletes. Just like any other exercise in the gym, it is extremely important to perfect the form of each of these movements before perform-
ing the exercise with a heavy weight. Performing these lifts improperly can lead to injury. PLYOMETRICS Plyometric training is another form of explosive physical training used to enhance power output, force production, and velocity that has become very popular among MMA coaches and athletes. A plyometric exercise is characterized by an intense eccentric contraction of the muscle fiber immediately followed by a rapid concentric contraction of that muscle fiber. This action produces a forceful, explosive movement. Some individuals have experienced a plyometric movement in the doctor’s office. When a patient sits on the end of a table and the doctor lightly taps under the knee cap, the leg jerks upward. The tap causes a sudden stretch of the tendon that connects to the quadricep muscles. Small receptors in the quads create a stretch reflex which makes the quads respond by explosively contracting. Plyometric exercises evoke the elastic properties of the muscle fiber and connective tissue, which allow the muscle to store energy during the deceleration phase and release that energy during the acceleration phase. The end result is muscle being trained under tensions greater than those achieved by conventional slow-speed resistance training exercises. High-intensity plyometrics can also enhance neural stimulation to a level that will significantly increase maximal muscle strength. The jump squat, lateral bounds and depth jumps are fabulous plyometric exercises for MMA athletes. BAND TRAINING Band training, if done properly, is an excellent way to train the Fast Twitch fibers. Most any movement that you can think to do with a band is excellent for a fighter, however the movement must be done quickly. The athlete should perform the repetitions as quickly as possible. When an athlete performs the repetitions very quickly, he is primarily training that fiber to fire faster. This is more specifically referred to as quickness training. An example of a good band exercise is an alternating row.
Page 11
cess is variation. This was demonstrated by Dr. Hans Selye, who first coined the General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS). The GAS suggests the athlete start with a program that will shock the muscles. For example, the athlete could add two new explosive lifts into the training program on conditioning days, by performing three sets of three repetitions on each of the new exercises. The athlete would do this for four to six weeks. This is the amount of time the muscle needs to adapt to the training program. Once the muscle adapts, it is time to change the exercises or the repetitions, shocking the muscles all over again. This prevents the athlete from reaching a plateau. If an athlete plateaus, he will stop noting strength, speed, power increases or improvements in endurance.
CONCLUSION Strength and conditioning success in MMA is comprised of three major areas. First, the athlete should train both the slow twitch and fast twitch muscle fibers. The slow twitch fibers can be thought of as the endurance fibers while the fast twitch fibers produce speed, power and explosiveness. In order to execute the greatest amount of power and explosiveness, dynamic stretching should be implemented pre-training or pre-competition and static stretching should be performed at the end of a training session or a fight. Lastly, the athlete should vary the training program. A program that is consistently changed and refined at the right times will lead to greater results and keep the athlete from getting bored or reaching plateaus.

Clash in the Cage Results: Route 66 Casino Hotel played host to an action packed night of MMA fighting on September 9th, 2011. We welcomed the return to the cage from Albuquerque’s beloved fighting female, Holly Holm, who brought the crowd along with other fantastic local fighters who brought friends and family. KNUXX would like to thank Route 66 Casino &Fresquez Productions for giving us so much access to the fighters and the fans! MAIN CARD:
STATIC STRETCHING PRETRAINING OR PRE-COMPETITION Research indicates that static (slow, controlled) stretching pre-training induces a significant decrease in motor unit activation five minutes after stretching and a reduction in strength and power that will persist for 60 minutes. Pre-training stretching influences neural mechanisms that will without doubt negatively affect muscular performance. This is why slow, static stretching before training or competition is a bad idea. When warming up, dynamic stretching is most effective for explosiveness. Dynamic stretches are those that use speed of movement to bring about a stretch. Some of these include running with high knees, arm circles, hip extensions and walking lunges. Athletes can save static stretching for after training or competition.

he Chavez sisters – Angelica and Margarita, daughters of Grandmaster and Peggy Chavez, of Chavez Martial Arts Academy (Chavez Karate), located in the South Valley of Albuquerque, NM. Both girls have been training since they could walk, under the expert instruction of their father, Grandmaster Chavez, and both are now professional mixed martial artists, whose father, as well as being their teacher, is also their agent. Angelica (4-1) began competing in karate tournaments from the time she was 3-years-old, and in kickboxing tournaments from the time she was in 2nd grade. In 2009, she had her first professional cagefight, against Stephanie Palmer at GFC 1 (Global Fury Cagefighting), which she won by key lock at 1:37 of the 2nd round. Although at that time, she had no formal grappling training in wrestling or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, she was experienced in judo and jiu jitsu as part of her father’s teaching. At that fight, she met Professor Rafael “Barata” Freitas, who invited her to train with him at Gracie-Barra. She agreed and the two actually made an arrangement, which still stands, whereby Grandmaster Chavez works with him on his striking, and Freitas works with the Chavez girls on their BJJ. Since that time, she has gone on to win 3 of the last four fights, with two wins at Duke City MMA Series and the other at Evolution Combat Sports Championships – Friday Night Fights 2 against Jennifer Berg. However, she lost her most recent bout by split decision, against the super tough, Diana Rael at MMA Fight Pit – Genesis, a match which had been sought by both sides. In a way, she related, she’s glad to have had that experience. “Not that anyone wants to lose, but I’m glad that all the young people who came to see me, were able to see me experience that loss, and how to be classy whether you win or lose.” She went on to say that the young girls at her gym are the greatest influence on her career: “They inspire me to inspire them.” She wants to show them, that “you can be from South Valley and still be a strong independent woman.” At 24-years-old, Angelica Chavez is the epitome of that kind of woman, having had
a barber shop for almost six years, Associates Degrees in Integrated Studies and Fire Science, and, with a license for Cosmetology, she also works at a shop called Hot Heads and Cool Claws. Although she loves fighting; “it’s fun to me,” her dream career is to be a firefighter for the City of Albuquerque. In the meantime, however, she wants to continue to fight, although sometimes it’s difficult to find matches at her weight class, 105-lbs. She hopes to fight as soon as possible, hopefully in Japan, where there are many more professional female fighters at the lighter weights, including 98-lbs, a weight which she feels she could achieve without considerable difficulty. She does love to fight in her home state, though, and no wonder. As her ring name indicates, “South Valley’s Own” has one of the largest fan contingencies around the state; “I really feel the support from my fans every time I fight.” Margarita (1-1) is also a professional fighter; although she is the older sister (at 27), she has not fought as a pro quite as long. She lived for a couple years in Hawaii, during which time she did not train or fight, but when she came back, she jumped right back into it. Now she trains harder than ever, and she had her first professional match in May 2010, which was a 3-round war, ending in a split decision for her opponent. Her other match, at Evolution: Friday Night Fights 3 – was another 3-round battle, which resulted in her win by split decision. That match was particularly difficult, when, in the first round of action, she twisted her ankle. She went through the remaining 2-1/2 rounds so hard, that few realized she had injured herself until she was carried out of the cage, draped in the lei bestowed by her father. “Margarita has always been mentally tough, with an incredible will and tolerance for pain,” related her sister, Angelica. “Since Margarita had taken a couple years off in Hawaii, she had to work to everything back in order, but we help each other. I help her sharpen the skills she already has, and she helps me learn to be tough.” Margarita holds a degree in community health and is currently in grad school. However, she continues to train as much as possible, when not at work or in school, both at Chavez and Gracie Barra.

JB Privitt - 1st Men’s Open Overall - OCB Southern Rockies
Fast forward to the following weekend, The 2011 NPC Mid-USA/New Mexico State bodybuilding, Men’s physique, Figure and Bikini Championships were held at the African American Performing Arts Center on August 13. This double show featured a legitimate line up of skilled competitors and was a qualifying show for several top placing athletes. Unable to get in contact with promoter of show to post category winners, I was able to get the chance of interviewing figure competitor Shalako Bradberry who won 4th and 3rd place in the double show, qualifying her for the a National Junior Show. I was introduced to Shalako at the 2011 Fitness New Mexico show and have kept my eye on this upcoming figure athlete. A professional speech language pathologist and resident of Las Cruces, this beautiful and hard working lady has hit competitive scene this year competing in 4 shows, respectably placing from first to fourth place in her height categories. She was inspired by her husband’s interest in bodybuilding and soon realized that fitness competitions were a growing passion of hers and a way to stay in excellent shape. I look forward to seeing this hard-working athlete take the stage over the next few years and really see her come into her own. Congratulations to Shalako on taking the first place in Figure short at the El Paso Sun City Regional a few weekends ago and best of luck on her next performance. Thank you for tuning in and congratulations to all of the competitive fitness/bodybuilding athletes who competed in this months featured shows and to all those working hard on their off-season preparing for their next big show – GOOD LUCK. Remember to always keep your FITNESS in FOCUS!
H
eather “Hurricane” Clark, professional fighter out of Jackson/Winkeljohn MMA and daytime photographer. An Evolution Combat Series fighter with a record of 3-1, she has trained in Ukidokan Karate, which she began to study at 8-years-old with her father, who holds a black belt in the art. Although she has that solid martial arts background, she actually went to college for theater, getting her degree and performing professionally for two years. In addition, she also played Division I and professional hockey, and participated in amateur boxing. She moved to Maui, which is where she first developed an interest in photography. During her time there, she actually ran a surfing school and a photography business for a local ATV adventures company, and taught surfing and acting classes. She moved back to Los Angeles in 2008, and began to train at a local chute box gym, Piccinini Training Center, under Coach Roberto Piccinini, of Chute Boxe in Brazil. She moved to Albuquerque in June 2009, and began to train at Jackson’s. She tried to get some amateur fights, but when that proved difficult, she began looking for a professional fight. In April 2010, she got her wish, and faced Karina Hallinan at Victory Fighting Championship 31, with no amateur experience. She lost that initial fight by decision, but has gone on to win her next 3 fights, 1 by submission, the other two by KO. She has also participated on NBC’s Ultimate Women’s Challenge. Clark is slated to fight at Fight Strong for the Cure, a Freestyle Cage Fighting event, at Firelake Grand Casino, in Shawnee, OK, this Saturday, October 1, 2011, against Sarah “The White Tiger” Schneider (4-5 out of America Jiu-Jitsu Academy). Also, look for her to fight in the next Evolution Combat Sports Championship series, due to take place December 10 this year. Heather is also a consummate photographer, working during the day for Kim Jew, but also freelancing in both wedding and action photography. Her personal work can be viewed at www.heatherjoclark.com.

S
ummer has come and gone and with that came a great season of competitive fitness and bodybuilding shows here in New Mexico. Wrapping up the summer competitive season The 2011 OCB Southern Rockies Natural Bodybuilding and Fitness Competition and The 2011 NPC Mid-USA/New Mexico State bodybuilding, Men’s physique, Figure and Bikini Championships were both hosted during the month of August. OCB Judge and IFPA Pro Bodybuilder, Jayson Blanchard, provided the following wrap up of the show held in Los Alamos. The 2011 OCB Southern Rockies Natural Bodybuilding and Fitness Competition was held on August 8th. This year’s edition did not disappoint as 25 high caliber competitors entered the contest. The woman’s figure competition was won by Los Alamos native and Albuquerque resident Meaghan White. The woman’s fitness model champion was Santa Fean Catherine Leyba. The Bikini category was introduced to the contest this year and the winner was Mayra Najera-Lopez. Wenona Duran traveled all the way over from Grants to win the women’s bodybuilding division. There were several male bodybuilders in categories from 60-plus all the way down to teens in the novice. The men’s open overall was ultimately won by JB Privitt of Albuquerque, owner of Charter Fitness in Albuquerque, who barely edged out veteran competitor and heavy weight winner Wayne Gaede. While the number of competitors is not huge, the quality was certainly exceptional, as was the energetic and supportive crowd. This is a small town show, where everyone is given support and encouragement. Everyone is always friendly and supportive backstage and the show is a great “family event” setting.
Waterson made her television debut, when she participated in the Oxygen network special, “Fight Girls”, which aired in June 2007. She fought 3 more times in Colorado; then in 2008, Cerrone encouraged her to move to Albuquerque to begin training at Jackson’s. Since then, she has won 6 of her last 7 fights. Her most recent professional fight was in April 2010, but she also took part in the MTV show, Bully Beatdown Season 3, in 2010. She has taken the last year off, to have her baby and spend time with her family. Over the years, she has worked at Hooters and various modeling gigs, and when people found out that she was also a professional fighter, she was regularly asked “why do you do that?” Her answer – she has always been interested in martial arts, and has a dream of being an instructor, but she felt she had to become a fighter first, before she could teach. She has begun training again, and has tentative plans to fight again in November of this year.

ohime Dennisson is one “Mean Girl”! That’s what MEAN1 MMA & Fitness calls its ladies, and Dennisson not only trains there (as well as at Jackson/ Winkeljohn MMA), she is also the kickboxing aerobics instructor. Kickboxing aerobics is a fast-paced, technique-driven, constantly moving form of cardiovascular fitness training. In fact, kickboxing aerobics is how she first became involved with combat sports. Eight years ago, she decided to take the class with the notable Mike Winkeljohn, alongside her friend and teammate, Holly Holm. She began with no intentions of fighting, however, a year later, when Winkeljohn told her she had a fight coming up, she threw herself into it, and went on to win her first kickboxing match. Since then, she has had ten amateur kickboxing matches, but in 2009, she decided to go professional, as a boxer, again like her teammate Holm. She currently has a record of 4-1-1 as a professional boxer, but when she saw that she wasn’t getting as many fights as she’d like, in the world of boxing, she decided to try her hand at MMA. She took her first MMA fight with just one week’s notice and no training in ground fighting, back in June of this year, at Undisputed MMA in Amarillo, TX. Although her standup is dangerous, the lack of ground game cost her, and she lostby arm bar in the 1st round. Since that time, she has been training harder than ever, with “the best possible team I could have”, in Coach Chris Luttrell (Jackson’s/ Mean1) and all of the Jackson’s and Mean 1 fighters, both women and men. Dennisson observed that New Mexico is probably the best place in the world for a woman (or anyone for that matter) to train and fight, due to the popularity of combat sports in the state of New Mexico, and the caliber of athletes with whom she trains, “world class!” Due to her strenuous training alongside female fighters like Julie Kedzie, Michelle Waterson, Heather Clark and Holly Holm, just to name a few, Dennisson says “I definitely feel ready to fight! I feel like I have a striking advantage, but I’m prepared if someone tries to take it to the ground.” After her most recent fight, she plans to continue training and fighting for both boxing and MMA, hoping to fight on the same card as her teammate Holly Holm on Fresquez Productions’ boxing event this December 2, 2011. In addition to training and teaching, Dennisson is also wife to Tim Dennisson (who also recently made his professional MMA debut), part-time mother-figure for her nephew (acting as guardian 4 days a week), and part-time help at La Placita Dining room, where she acts as server, manager or cook, as needed. Her hobbies include shopping (“What girl doesn’t like to shop?”), knitting (“during the winter”) playing the violin, and, most of all, cooking, which she does at least 5 times a week.
