As a commuter campus, Auraria students rely heavily on public transportation to get to and from campus. Beginning April 25, the Regional Transportation District’s 15 line will no longer serve the 12th and Larimer stop. This change could mean longer walk times for students. According to Nate Currey, senior manager of public relations at RTD, the reason behind the stop’s closure is to give

Colfax riders access to Denver Union Station, where several new rail lines will be opening this year, making connections more efficient. “RTD also needed to give space, or capacity, at Auraria for the new routes 6 and 43 that will be going there starting April 24. Students still have the option to take the 15L to campus,” Currey said. However, the 15L (or limited) line will continue to serve the Auraria and 9th stop.

Students trying to reach the 15 line can board the 15L at Auraria and 9th, and then travel down to the Broadway and Colfax stop, which the 15 also serves. “If we’re forced to pay for it, we should have some sort of opinion on it ,” said John Tarr, an MSU Denver student who commutes via the 15 line. The new 15 line schedule published on the RTD website shows that the final stop of the bus line will move from 12th and

Larimer to Union Station. The new route going eastbound from Union will go down 17th Street to Broadway before turning onto and traveling down Colfax. Westbound trips will travel down Colfax before returning to Union Station via 15th St. “A lot of students take the bus,” said Zach Schuringa, a Denver resident planning to attend MSU Denver next semester. “I feel like any further changes would be inconvenient to students.”

Low-income workers rally for dignified wage Esteban Fernandez

“We are not invisible”

eferna14@msudenver.edu Marching to chants of “Si Se Puede!” students from MSU Denver joined in solidarity with protestors from the Service Employees International Union demanding a $15 minimum wage in Colorado. “If you have to pay your bills and feed your family and take care of transportation on less than 12 bucks an hour, good luck,” state Rep. Jessie Danielson said. “We need to raise the minimum wage to 15 bucks an hour to make sure people can earn a living wage, provide for their families and contribute to the economy.” The rally kicked off at 11:30 a.m. in Civic Center park. A sea of purple shirts belonging to members of SEIU, along with members of Black Lives Matter 5280, cheered on speakers who spoke of their struggles to make ends meet. Student activists held banners and waved signs in support. Crying, “Escucha! Escucha! Estamos en la lucha!” the rally turned into a march, parading down the street to the sound of drums and trumpets. Repeating their chant of “Listen! Listen! We are in the fight!” they descended on downtown 17th street, marching between the glass corporate towers that janitors clean room to room every night. On the outdoor patio of The Corner Bakery, patrons eating lunch focused on their meals

while passing sidelong glances at the protestors. One woman on the patio clapped and cheered as the activists marched by. “There’s 600,000 people in Colorado that make less than $12 an hour. How can you live that way? That’s no way to live,” Susana Renterea said through a translator. She’s worked as a janitor for 10 years. “We’re tired of not being treated with

dignity and not having our rights recognized as employees. We’re fighting for justice,” she said. Despite Colorado’s booming economy, housing construction has stalled mostly due to the 2008 recession. Low unemployment and job opportunities has attracted many people to the state, swelling the demand for housing and raising prices.

At the same time, wage growth has stagnated. In 2014, a study published by Zillow found that to afford a median-priced rental in metro Denver, a renter must make $35 an hour. A living wage calculator published by MIT found that a two adult and single child family living in Denver County with one working adult must make $21.53 an hour per adult to earn what’s considered a living wage. Poverty wages come in at $9.00 an hour. The current minimum wage in the state is $8.31. State Rep. Joseph Salazar was also out in solidarity with the protestors. Hailing from a family of blue collar workers, Salazar said he did not believe $12 an hour was a livable wage either, despite what Hillary Clinton has said on the campaign trail. “We’ve tried moving those bills past the general assembly, and we always get Republican obstruction,” he said. Salazar said the Democrats have a good chance of retaking the assembly and getting a $15 minimum wage bill on the Governor’s desk after the fall election. If successful, Colorado would join California and New York as the first states in the union to begin moving to $15. Until then, people like Jesus Guerrero Calderon will continue to struggle to make ends meet. “We want our bosses to raise our wages,” he said. “It’s a lot of hard work that we do, for so very little money.”

Student leaders honored at annual awards

Daisy Rocha Vasquez drocha3@msudenver.edu Student leaders and groups were honored at a ceremony on campus April 13 for their achievements in helping build MSU Denver’s diverse community. Each year at MSU Denver, over 35 individuals and groups are recognized

for their leadership and involvement on campus through the Student Involvement & Leadership Awards. This year’s ceremony took place at the Tivoli Turnhalle. The awards are broken down into four categories: student organizations, student employees, fraternity and sorority leadership and overall leadership. Several individuals and groups

finished the night with awards spread across different categories. This year’s biggest recipient was the group Journey Through Our Heritage with over 10 nominations and six awards. “We are dedicated to our peers and how we work with each other because we really want to acknowledge what other people in JTOH have done. We want to make sure they are seen for their accomplishments,” said Jessica Madrid, a JTOH team lead. Through JTOH, students develop leadership skills by engaging students with the community, increasing their cultural and historical knowledge through healthy competition, rigorous academic study and community service. Dr. Renee Fajardo, coordinator of JTOH, explained JTOH strives to represent MSU Denver on many different levels. Students learn that they are part of a bigger picture. MSU Denver’s Student Veggie Coalition and its members also received numerous awards for their involvement in the community. Sage Freeman-Gonzalez, president of SVC, was recognized for his involvement through his student organization. “When I started my club around a year ago, I never imagined I’d get any

recognition. I just wanted to help people eat healthier and eat less animals,” said Freeman-Gonzalez. “I have been blown away by the support and interest for my club. To have all of my efforts recognized in such an awesome way was very humbling and incredibly motivating. I’m excited to see where our club goes in the future.” Freeman-Gonzalez walked away with the Steven M. Hay Leadership Award and his organization won the New Student Organization of the Year. Vice-president of the Student Veggie Coalition, Yesenia Meza, was also recognized as the Outstanding Student Organization Member. “It felt great to have our club, Student Veggie Coalition, be recognized for all of our hard work. With our club being so new, we will continue doing our best in making ourselves well-known on this campus,” Meza said. Families and friends were in attendance to support nominees and celebrate the accomplishments of their peers with a social hour of food and a chance to take pictures with Rowdy.

The myth debunked: graduating in four years

Editor-in-Chief Mary-Kate Newton mnewton5@msudenver.edu

Assistant News Editor Esteban Fernandez • eferna14@msudenver.edu

f: themetropolitan

By Randi Muilenburg rmuilen1@msudenver.edu During your high school years you’re told that four years is the ideal time it should take you to graduate from college with your bachelor’s degree. As you begin your first semester it feels like there’s a timer that starts ticking as well. It follows you through every assignment, test and final grade. I know it was drilled into my head. My older sister finished in four years, so my parents expected the same from me. Unfortunately, I also remember she was a shell of a person who lived on campus, worked two jobs and almost never slept. The problem is that graduating in four years doesn’t feel like the “reality” anymore. It’s

possible, but it’s going to take up your entire life, and it doesn’t happen for most students. On average, students who take four classes are considered to be “full time,” but it’s impossible to finish in four years just by taking four classes each semester. Students need to take at least 15 credits each semester to finish in four. That doesn’t leave any room for failed or dropped classes. Everything has to be perfect and smooth sailing, but, in reality, that doesn’t usually it doesn’t happen. I started at Front Range Community College immediately after I graduated from high school and after going there for two years, I transferred to MSU Denver. My credits didn’t transfer the way I was told they would. I ended up losing about a year’s worth of credits, which tacked on an extra year of schooling for me. The ideal “four years for college” plan might once have been a good thing instilled in students, but it isn’t realistic anymore. For the majority who can’t accomplish that, it’s damaging. Since starting college back in 2010, I’ve encountered some rocky times that made me drop some classes, go part-time for a while and even take an entire semester off. For me, it felt like taking a break was what I needed to do to make sure I could thrive.

Now, I’m going to graduate in a semester at the age of 24, and I feel inadequate. I have watched other people who are younger than I am graduate before I do and my success doesn’t feel like one. The shame of running “behind” is outweighing the excitement of graduating. I know I could have finished college sooner, but I also know that I would have had to give up a lot to do that. I have worked consistently throughout my college years, a necessity to support myself, which takes away academic time and limits how many classes I can take. I feel that finishing in four years doesn’t allow much room for being social or building solid relationships and friendships, which is a unspoken part of college. I guess you could say I chose my personal life over my academic life, so maybe graduating “late” is my own fault. I’m not complaining about my own choices or the path I took. I just feel that instilling the “four years of college” idea in students isn’t helpful anymore, it’s just more stressful. So, you just do you. I am hypocritical as I say that because I’m still trying to convince myself of it, but I mean it. Education shouldn’t be a race.

If you would have told me upon my high school graduation that working for the Geek Squad would provide me the drive and confidence that I lacked at the time, I wouldn’t have believed you. Yet, the negative attitude that surrounds women in technical fields all over the world became all too real for me. All of the personal achievements in the world wouldn’t prepare me for the treatment I would receive. I applied to work for Best Buy/ Geek Squad in the fall of 2012, only looking for a temporary job to get me through the holidays. I spent the legendary Black Friday at the front lanes making sure products didn’t set off the exit alarm system. A few months later, a new

position opened in the store, and I was interested in moving up. Though I had no previous experience, I applied to be a Geek Squad agent. It wasn’t long before I had been offered a higher-level position (Advanced Repair, to be exact). I was ecstatic, my manager was presenting me with leadership responsibilities. My days were fi lled with data transfers, hard drive replacements and virus removals. I was everywhere, physically and spiritually. Strings of my long red hair stuck to the floor (shedding- a symptom of having long hair) and my initials could be found on repair notes for every computer. In other words, I was #slaying at my job. I loved broadening my knowledge of technology and interacting with kind, judgement-free clients. I looked forward to going to work and having conversations with my co-workers that would provide perspective and insight into topics foreign to me, like video games. Though I had fun twirling around the precinct (Geek Squad lingo for the counter and repair area for Geek Squad services in Best Buy stores), being a woman in tech was difficult. Being a woman succeeding in a minor leadership

role in a male dominated field was even more difficult. Not only was I one of six women who worked alongside 30 men, I was also one of five women employed by Geek Squad in the Metro-Denver district. This was astounding to me in the beginning of my employment, but became an everyday norm. “You sure you can fi x this? Is there someone else who can help me? I think that guy over there should help me,” said one client. His words stung. It happened too frequently: I would see a client with a metaphorical cloud of smoke erupting from their laptop and I would make myself available to answer their questions and troubleshoot their issues. Sometimes, these doubtful individuals would give me a chance to solve their issue. When I did, the expression on their face would light up, and words of apology and praise would flow out like water bursting free from a dam. Why does it matter that I’m a woman who can fi x your computer? Why does the touch of my freshly manicured fingers on your keyboard cause you to erupt with unnecessary feelings of discomfort and doubt?

Women in science, technology, engineering and mathematic fields alike are being consistently hindered and doubted every day. Our pay is inconsistent compared to the men we work alongside. Gender inequality in tech is unavoidable. Among other things, behavior similar to this discourages intelligent and aspiring women from entering a field they see potential and passion in. For the record, a woman repairing your computer, tablet or smartphone does not make you less of a person. I don’t appreciate being seen as someone whose abilities are worth doubting, especially when the only differentiating factor between my male counterparts and I is sex. I can only imagine how damaging this behavior can be for younger women who aspire to be in STEM fields. Despite these haters, I still take pride in the work I completed at Geek Squad. While women of our generation continue to fight back against all type of inequality, their confidence, like mine, remains untouched. Working at Geek Squad provided a huge boost to my resume and even more growth to my self esteem.

Classic Games Perspective: Star Fox 64

Image from ign.com

By Hayes Madsen hmadsen3@msudenver.edu With the overwhelming popularity of series like “Mario” and “The Legend of Zelda,” some of Nintendo’s other mascots and series can be easy to miss.

“Star Fox” is one of those series, but still remains in fan’s minds — including my own — for having some of the best experiences Nintendo has to offer. “Star Fox’s” sci-fi setting was something I immediately latched onto as a huge “Star Wars” fan. Players stepped into the shoes of Fox McCloud, leader of the mercenary group “Star Fox.” After the mad scientist Andross laid siege to the Lylat System, Fox and his team came to the rescue in their iconic Arwing ships. The controls for the Arwing are smooth as butter, letting players blast a few enemies and quickly barrel roll out of the way of others with ease.

One of the most invigorating aspects of going to any great live concert is being able to witness an immersive stage presence from the performer. A band that has the power to draw a crowd in, purely through how they present themselves and their individual personas on stage, can be amazing. There are some bands that genuinely want to feel a connection with their audience not only through their music, but how they express themselves in between each song. Dave Barnes’ performance on Thursday night at The Soiled Dove Underground was a quintessential example of what a concert should be, topped off with some solid musical performances. Barnes’s track listing consisted of several songs off of his new album, “Carry on, San Vicente” where those older country rock styles were prevalent. “It’s a little bit of a throwback album for me. I grew up listening to a lot of The Eagles and Jackson Browne. I like that kind of stuff,” Barnes said. Barnes and company paid homage to those influences with a well balanced mix of the more melodic and acoustic ballad hits like “Wildflower,” and pop tracks like, “She’s the One I Love.” The band still delivered some surprises, certain track had an R&B flavor such as “Someday, Sarah” which was one of the most impressive songs of the night. The song was tightly executed with a syncopated drum beat and guitar lines that kept the audience moving their heads and tapping their feet to the beat. Throughout the night, Barnes and the band drew the crowd in and kept them engaged by pulling back on the occasional choruses where Barnes let the audience sing. The crowd never hesitated to sing or clap in unison when given the signal, making the concert that much more of an

Players control the ship from either a third-person view or a firstperson cockpit view, as they travel through various levels. The Arwing moves forward on a track similar to a “rail shooter” type of game, and you have control to move it in any direction as well as boost or perform evasive maneuvers. The Arwing came equipped with an endless laser attack and a limited supply of bombs, the former can be upgraded with pickups while the latter’s stock is replenished with pickups. Throughout the game an “All-Range Mode” will open up to players allowing them to pilot an Arwing in full 3D space, where you’d see some of the largest battles of the game. The game also boasted well

immersive experience. It seemed that Barnes and the band wanted to share more of a connection with their audience outside of simply playing the songs one after the other. After every track, Barnes shared personal stories, funny recollections of past events, and some background history on the songs he had written. There was a sense of comfortability with Barnes when he interacted with the crowd, as if everyone in the audience was a longtime friend or acquaintance. “I’ve realized, we’ve been playing here for a while now. This is awesome and I love The Soiled Dove, it’s always fun to get back and play here,” Barnes said. It’s been over a year since Barnes’s last performance in Denver, yet the sold out status of the show and the overwhelming support seemed as if he’s been playing here regularly. Even while taking five to ten minute breaks to interact with the audience in between each song, the band still maintained a consistent flow in the set. The band was proficient at jumping right back into their performances after reminiscing on humorous tales and events. Barnes expressed his love for Denver numerous times throughout the show and never appear in-genuine or shallow in his compliments. “I don’t know what it is, but Denver has always been one of the most fun places to play at,” Barnes said. It takes a special talent for a band to be able to let themselves simultaneously reach out to their audience while delivering their best with each performance. Several times throughout the show, the band took risks by transitioning into creative instrumental breaks or extended solos to reveal their instrumental prowess. It was a pleasure to witness the band take command of the stage. Dave Barnes will be continuing his tour throughout the country with the band’s next performance at the Cherokee Creek Music Festival in Texas.

desgined boss battles, each scenerio taking place on a large scale. In one boss battle you and your three teammates trade blows with the Star Wolf team, as their theme song plays in the background, while the final boss battle has Fox taking down the villian Andross by himself. Where “Star Fox 64” was really a revelation for me was in the complexity of its branching paths. Certain levels in the game have hidden objectives to complete, and doing so can lead you down a completely different path with a new set of planets. As a child I would sit in front of my TV and play through all of the different planets and paths for hours on end, something I still do today with the re-released version of

the game “Star Fox 64 3D” on the Nintendo 3DS. It created a universe that you could go back to time and again to experience with Fox and his stalwart team. “Star Fox” may not be the most well known of Nintendo’s series, but games like “Star Fox 64” cement it in the company’s history. It’s a game that I go back and play at least twice every single year. Sailing to victory with the Star Fox team is an experience soaked with nostalgia, but one that still plays just as well as any modern game you can find.

The man behind the BaoBao dance group Photo and story by Sara Hertwig shertwig@msudenver.edu A circle of hands rose and fell, each creating a specific sound as they descend on their drum. Eyes moved from their own hands to those of their instructor, Adjei Abankwah, as he leads the African Drumming Ensemble class in practice. “That’s good. OK, one more time, go,” Abankwah said. For some students, like Kinsey Corby, this isn’t their first time taking the class. “Adjei’s hilarious, he’s probably one of my favorite teachers in this school,” Corby said. “One of the best things about this class is, whether you’re expecting it or not, Adjei will ask you to do something and you’ll say ‘I can’t do that,’ but it causes you to get over your fears.” Taking the class for the tenth time, Cristine de la Luna enjoys the family atmosphere and how the drumming, singing and dancing are all taught together. “There’s so much love in the group, particularly this semester,” Luna said. Abankwah started teaching at MSU Denver in 2013 and brought with him years of African dance and storytelling knowledge from his home in Ghana. Learning to dance as a child, Abankwah went on to do it

professionally and later joined The National Dance Ensemble of Ghana. A member for 11 years, he then moved into a choreographer role for the group, which traveled internationally and even performed for President Bill Clinton during his 1998 visit to Ghana. His move to the U.S. came in 2001, when Abankwah received a job offer from CU Boulder to teach an African dance and music class. It was thanks to Sam Gill, a man he’d met on a prior trip to Colorado who owned a dance studio in Boulder. The two had met and Abankwah displayed his expertise while teaching a small class at Gill’s studio. After the move, Abankwah noticed how dancing, singing and storytelling were being taught separately, and he wanted to bring the three together as one like they are in Africa. “We have storytelling, drumming and dancing and singing while we sit under the tree,” he said. “I came here and I was like, ‘Why don’t I see everything together?’ There’s storytelling going on here, there’s singing going on here, there’s music or dancing here, but there’s nothing together.” To fill this need, Abankwah started the BaoBao Festival in 2003. “I decided to put that together and let people know about what we do in Ghana,” Abankwah said. This tradition, called By the

Fireside, combines all aspects and usually takes place under the baobao tree. Abankwah came up with the name BaoBao Festival as a way to incorporate the tree and teach people those traditions. Since 2003, the BaoBao Festival has grown and is used to not only teach African culture, but also to raise money for the BaoBao Foundation and help Abankwah and his wife, Kari, build a library in Ghana. Abankwah encourages his students to perform in the BaoBao Festival when it comes to MSU Denver. They recently had a live performance on The Kabaret Show on KGNU radio. Michael Blomquist was one student who participated in both events this year. “We become like family in African drum,” Blomquist said. “We’ve got a lot of love for Adjei and what he does for this class. He does a lot of extra stuff for students that he doesn’t have to.” Using drums Abankwah has shipped in from Africa and the professional training he received, students learn songs and dances from the different regions of the continent. “I enjoy dancing myself,” Abankwah said. “I enjoy everyone, getting to know students and becoming friends with them. The group is more like a family. We dance and learn together.”

Adjei Abankwah shares his knowledge and professional experience from Ghana. Abankwah has been teaching African drum and dance classes at MSU Denver since 2013.

Twist & Shout draws crowd for Record Store Day Photo and story by Teresa Diaz Soriano

tdiazsor@msudenver.edu Going strong in its ninth year, Twist & Shout and its dedicated music sales staff made it through another year of keeping customers satisfied for Record Store Day. With its first year in 2007, Record Store Day is the third Saturday in April. The holiday celebrates the culture of independent record stores and unites music lovers, artists and fans alike in a single event. The celebration provides an opportunity for music consumers to buy and collect rare Record Store Day vinyl and other various merchandise along with connecting like-minded people who are passionate about music. For Denver, Twist & Shout puts on one of the biggest celebrations. Hundreds Participants had the chance to buy rare records during Twist lined up outside of the record store to & Shout’s Record Store Day celebration April 16. celebrate Record Store Day April 16.

Music lovers waited to get their hands on copies of limited edition records by bands such as Grateful Dead and Phish and Jack White. Seth Williams, a Denver resident, headed down to Twist and Shout right after work. He was the first person in line and was prepared for the five hour wait until the store opened to get his hands on Grateful Dead’s live record. “It’s something to tell my little boy,” he said. Williams has been shopping at the record store for seven years. He is always welcomed by the staff and would rather support the people he knows than shop elsewhere. “It’s been my home spot for years,” he said. Twist & Shout has built a reputation of reliability. They provide music listeners and pop culture fanatics with a wide selection. Employee Kevin Powers said that

the amount of shipment and in-stock products sets them apart from other record stores participating in Record Store Day. “Twist & Shout is a place that people come in and pretty much know they are going to get what they want. We have a little bit of everything,” powers said. Many participants in the event are longtime customers at the record store. Marion Startz has been an exclusive Twist & Shout shopper for roughly seven years. “They provide a great foundation for the community,” Startz said. She believes their commitment to music, and to customers is a big reason why the store draws in big crowds for events like Record Store Day. The store’s owner, Paul Epstein, plans to celebrate next year as well for the tenth anniversary celebration. “Its like Xmas, what could possibly convince a retailer not to?” Epstein said.

MSU Denver’s exhibit offers art with a message Photo and story by Khaleel Herbert kherbert1@msudenver.edu MSU Denver’s Center for Visual Art’s “Looks Deep Enough from Here” exhibit opened April 15 offering students a chance to express themselves while sending a message. The event was a senior thesis exhibition that showcased art from various Senior Bachelor of Fine Arts students. Most of these artists will graduate from MSU Denver on May 14 and they are eager to get out into the world with their art. One such artist was Brittney VerBerkmoes. Her exhibit, “Going Batty,” had pieces made with watercolor and colored pencil, hand bruned veneer panel and colored pencil on mat board. Each picture depicts a bat or other creature with a human face, inspired by narratives such as books, mythology and folklore. “I’m specifically using animals with human faces because you see a lot of hybrid animals and a lot of anthropomorphic creatures in these narratives,” VerBerkmoes says. Before drawing, VerBerkmoes was a dancer, but had to quit. “That year, all I could do was draw dancing because I missed it so much. That’s how I found my love for art,” VerBerkmoes says. “I was OK at the performing arts but I really found my passion for just drawing and expressing myself visually especially since I was

The blue and the orange with purple paintings with breaks in the clouds represent the soul opening up and accepting things, while the other pieces that look stormy represent tears. “Basically if you look at it, it’s my soul and my consciousness trying to melt together,” McBride said. Each of the artists hope to carry their creativity and craft with them as they say goodbye to MSU Denver. “I’ve been looking into different avenues of selling my art, maybe places I want to show my art,” VerBerkmoes says. “A dance studio is letting me hang my art there of all my old dance works.

Yagai brings jiujitsu to Denver

By James Sluzewski jsluz@msudenver.edu With his morning class winding down, Professor Nobuo Yagai has his students take a break from “rolling,” the term used for sparring in Brazilian jiujitsu. He explains the difference between the demeanor of training in the gym, competition and a real life threat and how to adapt to it. Yagai has years of experience on the subject and offers his vast amount of knowledge to his students. “BJJ is a platform that allows an individual to grow into the person they are meant to be, it’s not about being the toughest anymore, Royce Gracie already proved that,” Yagai says. Born in Kobe, Japan, to a businessman and a housewife, he was the oldest of three children. At the age of six, his father explained to him that his family was descended from samurai. The samurai were a warrior class in feudal Japan that dominated the country’s politics for 900 years. Because of this family history, Yagai was introduced to the lifestyle of martial arts beginning with samurai swordsmanship called Kendo. He was fortunate to have an amazing instructor at this time that also happened to work as a police special forces instructor. Yagai learned the art with a mindset for combat as well as traditional juijitsu. This experience with martial arts left several impressions on the young Yagai that would stick with him for the rest of his life. First, it taught him that he should never give up at anything in life no matter the circumstances. Second, it put him on a course to making the pursuit of martial arts the most important aspect of his life. This life purpose would have Yagai travel the world in his pursuit. Like most teenagers, he was influenced by Bruce Lee movies and then popular video game “Street Fighter.” Unlike many teenagers, he wanted to emulate what he saw and began full contact Karate and continued with it through college. He was already planning to leave his homeland of Japan but his parents insisted he finish his bachelor’s degree. At least the opportunity for pursuing an education allowed him to participate in a boxing club that was able to improve his resume for

Brazilian jiujitsu is a platform that allows an individual to grow into the person they are meant to be, it’s not about being the toughest anymore. – Prof. Nobuo Yagai martial arts. Immediately following graduation, Yagai began traveling. First to Thailand, to learn Muay Thai at its source. Muay Thai is also referred to as “the science of eight limbs,” or “Thai boxing.” Yagai also traveled to Taiwan to learn Kung Fu. This is the art popularized by Bruce Lee in his movies. At this time in the 90s the Ultimate Fighting Championship was brand new. “I wanted to learn what the best way to fight is,” Yagai says. In 1997, Yagai was able to put into practice many of the different skills he learned when he won Sanda of Japan. Sanda is full contact chute fighting, an earlier version of Mixed Martial Arts. At this time there was no weight classes and no one even heard of the term MMA. After his victory he was accepted as

an apprentice Joko Ninomiya, a legend in the Karate community who has his main school based here in Denver. This afforded Yagai the opportunity to travel to America and focus all his energies on training. “I lived in the gym for two years training twice a day for six days a week,” Yagai says about his experience of first coming to America. One day the monotony of training and helping run the school was interrupted. His main instructor Ninomiya was out of town when Yagai was challenged by a Tae Kwon Do student from another school. They put up $500 each in a winner take all fight. “I knocked him out with a body punch. Fortunately he was TKD fighter not a wrestler because I learned I should learn grappling.” Yagai says. This brought Yagai to

Colorado Brazilian jiujitsu in 2002 to perfect his ground game. CBJJ had already been in existence for five years making it ancient compared to 95 percent of the BJJ schools in America. His original intention was to use BJJ to supplement his Karate because he realized that he is much smaller in size than a lot of people here in America. “I liked how smaller individuals with proper technique and leverage can dominate larger individuals,” Yagai says. “Most martial arts make a form, an individual is expected to fight a certain way. BJJ is more open and creative form allowing someone to be more creative with the art.” Just recently Yagai noticed a shift in his paradigm of thinking. He originally came to America to learn to be a better fighter, but he noticed he has somehow been put in a situation to preserve the art and teach the next generation. “There is something special about this art,” Yagai says. “Regardless of age, sex, racial identity and athletic abilities, everyone can practice BJJ. But more importantly you can see more character and personality in the way someone practices BJJ.” Since pursuing martial arts around the world has been his main purpose in life, this makes Yagai an authority on the subject. He sees himself being a student and a teacher for the rest of his life and will always be a part of the BJJ community. Some of Yagai’s achievements include a blackbelt in BJJ from Rigan Machado, a member of a very prestigious family in BJJ community, a second-degree black belt in Karate from Joko Ninomiya and two bronze medals from International Brazilian jiujitsu Federation Pan-Ams. He has also competed in Abu Dhabi, jiujitsu World League, and began competing in Fight To Win Pro and is expected to compete again in the near future. Anyone interested in training in this amazing art under Yagai can contact him about free introductions.
