Fight Gone Bad consists of 3 rounds of five minutes each. Each round consist of one minute workouts back to back for five minutes. Starting with 20# wall balls, 75# sumo dead high pulls, 20" box jumps into 75# push press followed by the rowing machine for calories. After a very close first two rounds i came out victories in the third with an overall score of 293 total reps to Jake's 258 repititions. Was an amazing challenge and even better showing of support from our fellow Tribal Crossfitters.

Started out today at Koncrete gym where I did some sparring and boxing work. After which I trained a couple clients and had a poor kid liking after five minutes of some kick work. Following that I went to Bambusa for my Jitz and had a great time learning some new techniques then getting in some great rolling time where I pulled off the inverted triangle again in practice... Might have done that one a bit backwards but was a blast! Off to bed for me to start my day off right with some roadwork (miles) in the a.m. <div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.8</div>Richard "Rarebreed" Halehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16853272884193583741noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008573426662811769.post-33766246367046868532011-04-04T23:05:00.001-07:002011-04-04T23:05:08.229-07:00Back to training come 4-4-11Start back into training come this monday and can't wait!

The peak of this mountain is known as the Bellator Light Heavy Weight tournament Champion. The belt is the prize but the completion of the task is what I am here for! I have been fighting not only in my bouts but also through training and in every aspect of my life ever since I was a little guy just like many others. Yes I am no different cause i put my pants on the same way and breathe the same air. The one difference that sets me apart is my love for this game known as Mixed Martial Arts. I see every day how people talk the talk yet have no actions to back up their false claims. I am here to set a new standard and raise the bar to a new level but that is as far as I will explain that. Time to have my actions explain the rest.

I am a professional Mixed Martial Artist (MMA) and Boxer that has been fighting for 5 years now. I started MMA back in October of 2006 and took my first fight two months later for an Arizona based fight organization and came out successful. At that point i found the path in life in which I was intended to pursue as my dream. Before I started training in MMA I was an amateur Body Builder and after training one day I switched paths and went full throttle towards a career in MMA. I went on to collect three titles for the Arizona fighting organization in the Light Heavy, Heavy and Super Heavy Weight classes. First person to hold all three titles in three different weight classes consecutively in cage fighting. I progressed further in life by having my daughter in December of 2007 and taking a year off from fighting. Made my return to the cage on August of 2008 coming back with a bang when I traveled to New Mexico for a KO victory to start my return. After this fight I met up with my destined coach Kelly Davis who worked on my biggest weakness which was my Boxing. I have been boxing with Kelly now for three years and we just opened a Boxing gym in Scottsdale Arizona where I am a Boxing coach for the general public. I do my training as three a days where I travel across AZ but mainly in Phoenix for now. I just became a part of the Nova Uniao under Sensei Ty Upshur over at Bambusa and look forward to the new training partners and instructors that I have now with this new family. I also do my Boxing out of Koncrete gym when I am not training clients. I blocked time out in my schedule to make sure I can fit all my training in as well. The last blocked out of time is taken up by doing my strength and conditioning at Tribal crossfit with my coach Jake Parent in the mornings. After long days of grueling training and instructing I head home for some down time with my wife and my two female American Pit Bull Terriers. The journey to the top and best in the world continues…Richard "Rarebreed" Halehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16853272884193583741noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008573426662811769.post-45923189739442825722011-02-22T09:10:00.000-08:002011-02-22T09:10:09.773-08:00TuesdayOff to abnother day of training. Up at 5 a.m. to get the day started and off to Crossfit/ Weights. Had a great training session @ Tribal where we knocked out a 7 minute AMRAP of thrusters and burpees followed by my lifting. Just got down at Koncrete to start training clients before Boxing at 12. Boxing yesterday went real well.
