A big congrats to Aaron Hubbard, a BJJ student at York Mixed Martial Arts Academy in West Manchester, for earning his purple belt recently. Pictured in black belt Rogerio “tatu” Taborda, Aaron, and YMMAA owner/trainer brown belt George McGinnis. As George says, “Hard work pays off – Osss.”
Mixed Martial Arts is exploding - the sport of the future is here. With mainstream media coverage, and fights on nearly all continents, it's now impossible to ignore the excitement, the complexity and the ferocity of MMA.
My name is Ted Czech, and I've worked in York, Pa. for eight years as a police reporter. I've been a fan of MMA since UFC 1 -- seriously -- and I've dabbled in a few styles like karate, kung-fu, taijutsu and submission wrestling. I hope to give some press to fighters from the York area, while also commenting on things happening in the U.S. and beyond. Let's support the sport!
