RKS Student Katrina Drudge, Marathon Runner

May 25, 2011

The miracle is not in finishing a marathon. The miracle is in having the courage to start. The RKS family would like to congratulate one of our very own Black Belts, Katrina Drudge, on her impressive 37th place finish in the Toronto Goodlife Marathon on May 15th, 2011.

After many months of intense dedication, and over 400 miles of hard solitary training in snow, sleet, wind and rain, Katrina crossed the 42.2 kilometer finish line on an unseasonably cold, wet, and brutally punishing day with the unwavering spirit and determination that she brings to everything she does in life.

Katrina’s accomplishment reminds us that excellence is often achieved when you care more than others think is wise; risk more than others think is safe; dream more than others think is practical; and expect more than others think is possible. Way to go Katrina; don’t ever stop, and never surrender! That’s what CANI is all about.

Another Victory for Jason Saggo

May 25, 2011

Team RKS and LKS would like to congratulate Jason Saggo on his recent victory at MMA Live 1 in London Ontario. Jason Saggo now holds a perfect record of 5 -0 with all wins coming by way of Submission. Here is a replay:

Derek Boyle vs. Jason Saggo
Rd1: Both fighters come out popping the jab, then a leg kick off, Saggo wins. Saggo feints a jab and drives Boyle into the cage with a double leg attempt. Saggo can’t finish the double so he trades it in for a single and dumps Boyle to the mat. Boyle bounces up quickly but gives up his back which Saggo eagerly takes. Boyle is doing a great job fighting off the choke, making Saggo really work hard to keep position. Boyle fully escapes just as the horn sounds.

Rd2: Boyle throws a leg kick which is thrown aside by Saggo. Saggo changes levels and dives for the double leg but again Boyle fights it off. Boyle feints a two punch combo, shoots in and takes Saggo to the canvas. Saggo is making great use of the rubber guard to tie Boyle up. Boyle escapes and elects to stand it back up. Again Saggo bulllies Boyle into the cage and shoots the double. The double doesn’t work but Saggo drags Boyle to the ground. Saggo jumps the back and sinks in his hooks but is in a bad position against the cage. Saggo regroups and traps an arm but again the cage is in the way. Just as the horn sounds Saggo had transitioned to a tight triangle.

Rd3: Saggo comes forward with a flurry but Boyle makes him pay with a vicious knee. Saggo brings the fight to mat with a nice single leg trip. Again Saggo takes his back but this time figure fours the body. It takes 3 grip changes but Saggo is finally able to coax the tap.
