Meet the Future Angels of FusBoxe Mixed Martial Arts, Chloe Andersen and Aspen Aragon.  These two little girls (ages 10) amaze me with their progress in training.  Both have been training for under one year, and both have made vast strides. They are a joy to work with as their fascination with the martial arts seems never-ending in class.  Their work ethic in training even rivals some of our adults!  These two little girls have inspired me to start a new program at FusBoxe MMA.

I'm looking forward to introducing this newest program at FusBoxe when we move to the new location in November.  These girls will be the first of the Little Angels program.  This program is separate from our Future Fighters program where kids ages 6-13 learn the fundamentals of grappling, wrestling, and light kickboxing.  Participants of the Little Angels will be hand selected by myself and Head Coach Michael Sullivan.  The girls will advance their training to include more kickboxing, conditioning, community outreach events, and participation in competition will be required.  

Participants of the Little Angels program will learn self defense, independent thought, the value of competition, they will gain self value, and will of course have a healthy active outlet to keep them in shape!

I'm excited to work with these girls and all future participants of the Little Angels program as they show the world just how much a little girl can accomplish!  www.FusBoxe.com

Weighing in :)

Maureen Riordon vs Stacy Sigala

Six more days until my boxing debut in Kansas City, MO against Molly Magness!  

While I am extremely excited for this match up, I'm already slated to fight again!  As soon as I return home from Kansas City, its immediately back into fight camp for me as I prep for October 13th at the Grizzly Rose.  I will be facing 4-1 Stacy Sigala out of New Mexico.  

Sigala seems confident about this match up and I have the feeling she thinks this will be an easy win for her.  I trust my coach.  I trust my training.  My team has helped prepare me.  I feel confident about this match up today, and no doubt will feel even that much more confident in a few weeks come fight day.  

I love my busy fight schedule and hope to keep the momentum going!

Keep An Eye Out For The Newest Ladies Of FusBoxe

While FusBoxe is the home of pro fighter Todd Meredith and other talented male athletes such as Bo Yurko, Joe Gustafson, Cody Moore, Cameron Sandoval, Eubaldo Lovato, and many more men not to be taken lightly, the ladies of FusBoxe have always had a strong reputation.  Home of the Sambo Angels, we are grooming up our next group of women who have recently starting hitting the competition scene.

Melissa Bennett, Lyanne Aragon, Katie Thompson, and Jackie Billotte are all training hard as a team as they pursue their individual journeys.  Bennett has already won her first kickboxing match and took gold at her first grappling tournament as well.  Aragon, Thompson, and Billotte have gotten their first grappling tournaments under their belt as well, and now prepare for not only more tournaments, but their first chance in the ring as well.  

We upped the training tonight and I couldn't be more proud of those girls for rising to the occasion!  I can't wait to see what they each produce from their efforts!
