Daddis Fight Camps is excited to present a free conditioning workshop and training session featuring trainer Rob Fusco from 6-7:30pm on Thursday, August 5th.  Rob will spend the first portion discussing and developing proper form for a variety of useful lifts and exercises.  The second portion will involve Rob running the students through a grueling conditioning circuit developed around the curriculum he presented.

This seminar is open to all DFC members, regardless of location.

The regularly scheduled 6pm Muay Thai class and 7pm kettlebell class will be cancelled to accomodate this seminar.

Hope you can make it!

For more information on Rob’s methodology and credentials, you can visit his website at www.SimpleIronTruth.com

Over 40 attendees gathered on Saturday to work closely with WEC standouts Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone and Leonard “Bad Boy” Garcia at Daddis Fight Camps Philadelphia.

After about two and a half hours of techniques and training tips straight from their playbook, Leonard and Donald geared up and took on all comers for the next hour.

We want to extend a very warm thank you to both hosts, as well as all the students who attended to make this event possible!

THIS IS HOW CHAMPIONS ARE MADE!

The long-awaited children’s mixed martial arts program will hit our Philadelphia facility August 14th! We will be holding a mini Open House on Saturday, August 14th, from 12pm-2pm. Our children’s instructors will be giving free introductory lessons during the open house, as well as discussing your goals for your child’s martial arts education.

The mini Open House will feature great introductory rates for this one day only so be sure to make it! From there, our Little Dragons classes will meet every Tuesday from 4:30pm-5:15pm, and every Saturday from 9:15am-10am. Martial Arts has been long regarded as the best method for teaching your children discipline, self-confidence, self-esteem, conflict resolution, increased focus, communication skills, and more–all while teaching them the cutting edge in martial arts and fostering an appreciation for physical fitness and health.

For more information, shoot me an e-mail at Jackson@DaddisFC.com. I’d love to discuss the benefits and details of our program with you in more detail!

Our next smoker event will take place on Saturday, September 18th, at our Cherry Hill facility. Weigh-ins will run from 8:30-9:30am, rules meeting at 10:30, and the first bell will ring at 11am.

The smokers are a great “first step” towards actual competition. We will arrange exhibition Muay Thai and Mixed Martial Arts bouts for students who wish to experience the feel and pace of an actual bout, without the risks associated with one. The rules we adhere to are taken directly from the NJSACB’s guidelines for Muay Thai and MMA competition, with a few modifications for safety.

For Muay Thai bouts, participants will wear 16oz gloves, headgear, shinguards, chest protector, mouthguard, and groin protector. Bouts will be three rounds of two minute duration, with a one-minute rest period in between. Punches and kicks to all parts of the body are legal. Knees to the body are legal. All elbow strikes are illegal.

For MMA bouts, participants will wear 7oz MMA sparring gloves, mouthguard, shinguards, and groin protector. Punches and kicks to the head and body standing will be legal. No knees or elbows are allowed whatsoever, standing or grounded. No strikes to the head of a grounded opponent. The bouts will be three rounds of two minute duration, with a one-minute rest period in between.

Additional rules may be added on the day of the smoker.

Hats off to both competitors!

About New Breed Fighters:

In 2006 New Breed Fighters President & CEO R. Scott Morgan attended a poorly run MMA event at a high school in Voorhees, N.J.  After putting on that one show, the operator of the event had exhausted his finances and alienated his partners. Fortunately for the MMA community Mr. Morgan had a vision and proposed to rescue the floundering promotion through a partnership whereby he would promote a sport he loved in an environment fitting of its worthy participants. He wanted to create an opportunity for young athletes to test their skills in the immediate surroundings that would maximize their ability to learn and grow and put them “One Step Closer” to their goals and dreams. He also wanted those many fans of the exploding sport to have a destination where they could go to thoroughly enjoy the beauty and superior entertainment Mixed Martial Arts provides.

February 2010 saw NBF debut in the professional arena in typical NBF fashion.  HDNet’s “Inside MMA” named two of our fights as the best two in the nation for the week. Quite the honor.

It is at this point where we want to take this opportunity and thank everyone who has contributed to the success of New Breed Fighters. Over 400 competitors and hundreds of teams have had the opportunity to nurture their skills and market their schools in our cage and at our events. Over 30 fighters have graduated to the professional ranks. We thank them and all the fans that have come to expect and support the first class experience only found at a New Breed Fighters event.
