Victory in Vegas for "Dynamite"

Las Vegas, Nevada

On the last night of the UWMTA training camp there was a live fight card set to take place in the Tropicana Hotel & Casino. Fighters from New Jersey, Nevada, Ohio, California, and throughout the U.S. were set to compete. Kickboxing celeberties in attendance would include, Kru Vut, Master Toddy, Saekson Janjira, Kit Cope, Ben Garcia, Melcor Menor, Phil Baroni, "The Sleeper" Walter Michalowski, and Im sure Im forgeting to name a few. When the opportunity to fight in Las Vegas presented itself Jason jumped on it, I mean how often do you get the chance to fight on the strip in Vegas. Jason weighed in at 160lbs and was matched against Toby Greer who currently trains with Kru Vut Kamnark in California. This fight was to be with no head gear, no shin guards, 14 oz gloves, and was set for three two minute rounds. Here is quick run down. The fight went the distance but was not even close, Jason controled the fight from start to finish. To Tobies credit he landed a couple of good knees, a few punches, and like one leg kick. Dent landed several leg kicks, lots of knees to the thighs and mid section, a nice left kick to the body, and of course his patent switch right hand found its mark more than once. Toby was wobbled on a few different occasions and even stooped to head butting in desperation. When the bell rang there was no doubt who had won the fight.Jason would like to thank his Mentor Dan Rawlings for being in his corner once again, and also thank Nick, Mike, and Brett for there support at the fights. Notch another victory in for the GriffonRawl Ohio team.

"2003" UWMTA Training Camp

Las Vegas, Nevada

This past week GriffonRawl Fighters Mike Russo, Nick Fross, and Jason Dent all attended this years action packed Muay Thai training camp held in beautiful Las Vegas. The camp was held in the Tropicana Hotel & Casino directly on the strip, right next to the MGM, New York-New York, Excaliber,and the Luxor. This may sound like a dream vacation but make no mistake it was pretty intense, and physically demanding. The camp covered everything from conditioning, pad holding, stretching, teaching, refereeing, sparring, history, phiosphy, and more! Also on a positive note Dan Rawlings the man who started the GriffonRawl team was there in attendance and was one of the instructors working for Kru Vut this year. I could go on forever about how awesome this trip was and what a great experience it was for those who attended, I hope there will be more of us going next year. Our school should benefit greatly from the qaulity of information and instruction that we obtained from Kru Vut Kamnark and the entire staff. At the end of this Camp there was a live Muay Thai show featuring some fighters from the camp and fighters from all over the U.S. I was fortunate enough to get a spot on the fight card, I will post a seperate write up on this shortly. Im looking foward to seeing you all in class on Tuesday. Thank You!
