Ruckus in the Cage Roanoke Va. April 12, 2008
RUCKUS IN THE CAGE !!! *** ROBIN HARTMAN WINS HER DEBUT IN RUCKUS IN THE CAGE ***
ROBIN HARTMAN SATURDAY APRIL 12TH, OUR ROBIN WON HER FIRST FIGHT IN RUCKUS IN THE CAGE BY MAKING HER OPPONENT TAP OUT (SUBMIT) IN THE FIRST ROUND. THE ROUND STARTED OUT WITH EXCHANGE OF STRIKES AND HER OPPONENT QUICKLY TRYING TO TAKE ROBIN DOWN IN AN ATTEMPT TO AVOID BEING HIT (GOOD LUCK WITH NOT GETTING HIT BY A KENPO PRACTITIONER). THE ATTEMPT FAILED, ROBIN WAS STILL STRIKING. ROBIN THEN DOMINATED THE OPPONENT BY HOLDING HER IN A GUARD (GRAPPLING PIN) AND RESTRICTING HER STRIKES. THE REF. HAD THEM RESTART WHEN THE OPPONENT COULD NOT BREAK ROBINS HOLD OR MAKE ANY STRIKES EFFECTIVE. WHEN BACK IN A STANDING POSITION THE FIGHT COMMENCED AGAIN WITH STRIKES BEING DELIVERED. ONCE AGAIN HER OPPONENT TRIED TO CONTROL ROBIN BY EITHER TRYING A TAKEDOWN OR CLENCHING, ROBIN BROKE THE HOLD AND APPLIED AND LOCKED IN, A REAR NAKED CHOKE HOLD. IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF SECONDS TILL HER OPPONENT TAPPED OUT. ROBIN DISPLAYED GREAT SPORTSMANSHIP, DETERMINATION, AND THE TRUE KENPO SPIRIT. THE DRAGON AND TIGER SPIRIT. WAY TO GO ROBIN!!!
SIFU RIKK AND ROBIN ROBIN AND BILL WARNER (2ND CORNERMAN) Footnote: Since that time Robin has left Perez Kenpo Karate and started training elsewhere. She had a title fight against title holder Angela Poole, and lost by submission (she tapped out). She continues to train with goal of getting another title shot and getting the belt. Good luck Robin in your quest.....
