GriffonRawl MMA Academy
On Sunday, May 3, 2009, Dan 'Tanis' Rawlings returned to the academy he started to give a three hour Muay Thai Seminar. About 25-30 men from Team DNA, Team Non-Stop MMA, Evolve MMA, Powerhouse Gym, Jungle Fight Team, and of course, Team GriffonRawl were in attendance.
To try to make an analogy of Dan's movement in the ring is tough. Dan has fought Muay Thai all over the world, most recently as part of Chuck Norris' World Combat League and has his one and only MMA fight (victorious) in Zuffa's World Extreme Cagefighting. As a member of Team DNA said, "It's like watching someone float across the mat."
Dan gave those in attendance an excellent workout as well as lessons in stretching, conditioning, striking, kicking, combinations and strategies just to list a few of the items covered in the seminar. Dan concluded the outstanding seminar with a bow to each attendee, followed by trading a leg kick with each man. I don't think anyone enjoyed that portion of the seminar, even though Dan was trowing about 20% power!
Thanks to all who attended and especially the guest of honor, Dan 'Tanis' Rawlings!
