She’s strong (like a farmgirl)
superheroes.
She’s dedicated. She’s a fighter. Twelve hour days are customary as she leaves her day job as a lawyer. Richman makes the commute to her night job, gym owner, role model, dog sitter. The walk up the stairs to Brazen Boxing and MMA will most likely weed out any people looking for a vanity workout. That’s reserved for the gym two floors down… you know, the one with a salon in it.

Richman’s philosophy of creating
a welcoming environment for all fitness levels is in full bloom, with a packed house of members. Empowering women is also an essential cog in the Brazen machine. Richman teaches women to let loose, be fearless, and embrace their inner aggressor. Lots of gyms sugar coat fighting for women. It’s more of a half-assed attempt at doing cardio, while mixing in punches and kicks that would most likely injure them versus the intended target. White washed workouts is not what Brazen is about. Bring it hard, or hit the bricks. Average Joes can work out next to championship level fighters, ask them questions, and get help. It’s a symbiotic system that has been well-received.

Richman’s reality of having a cohesive place where everyone can be comfortable in their skin has started to bloom, and her vision of having a stable of absolute monster fighters is also a reality. And that’s where Rain Man comes in.
Jason Sargus Trainer. Machine. Body Breaker. It’s quitting time, said Jason Sargus, Never. Watching fight films, fighters, and more film is his life. He can pick out inconsistencies in his fighter’s form and function in the blink of an eye.

His conditioning techniques are some of the most highly-regarded in the area. There’s one thing you will get from a Sargus training session, absolutely wrecked. It’s an elite system of breaking down to build up. When I call him Rain Man, believe me, it’s in the highest regards. I don’t think he only buys his underwear from K-Mart. Thankfully. His mind for processing information is scary good. And it shows with his fighters. Championships, wins, and more wins. It’s only a matter of time before one of Brazen’s fighters hits the big show, the UFC. After our visit, Sargus pretends to say goodbye, but he’s buried in the computer, watching film. The way it should be. Laser beam focus is what you need to create something people haven’t seen before. This is the sound of my hands clapping. Congrats Jessica and Jason, you’ve created a rocket-fueled system, coated in chocolate that tastes like strawberries. Bring it. X KnuckleDragger Magazine
