Posted in Boxing on April 10th, 2009Nora Martin, a 2007 graduate of State College Area High School, is among a group of women who are proving that boxing isn’t just for the boys.
Martin, 20, won the 178- pound class title at the Pennsylvania Golden Gloves amateur boxing championships on Feb. 28 in Punxsutawney. This was her first competition, she said, and only about four women took part in the championships.
A sophomore majoring in food science at Penn State, Martin said she took up boxing a couple of years ago. She had tried other sports, and boxing just seemed like more fun. But, she noted, she’s found that most other women don’t take to the sport as well.

Congrats “Dog” Mike Norrell!
Posted in Competition, Filipino Martial Arts on April 6th, 2009Congratulations to Mike Norrell on his second successful Dog Brothers “Tribal” Gathering of the Pack! This weekend Mike fought multiple fights over a two day event with other fighters from the Dog Brother’s tribe.
His fights caught the eyes of Guro Marc “Crafty Dog” Denny and Guro Benjamin “Lonely Dog” Rittner which prompted them to give Mike the title of “Dog.” Mike’s fights included several fights with very competent fighters over 75 pounds north of Mike’s weight.
Mike is a current instructor under Ryan Gruhn in Filipino Martial Arts – Kali / Escrima / Silat / Arnis and we are proud to have him as a member of the Dog Brothers Tribe!
Congrats “Dog” Mike!
