Rafael Cordeiro opens a Chute Boxe academy in Huntington Beach. Positioned next door to Cleber Luciano's BJJ school, these two MMA powerhoused intend on creating one heck of an MMA team.

Rafael has a personal fight record of 4-2, but more notably, he is known for training superstars such as Anderson Silva, Wanderlei Silva, and Shogun Rua.

Muay Thai training at his school is tough, make no bones about it. I have personally been there for the last few weeks, and I have also been nursing aching muscles for the last few weeks. I can tell you though, that his Muay Thai instruction is definately top-notch. You can read a full interview with Rafeal Corderio here: http://www.socalmartialarts.com/rafael-cordeiro-interview.html

He and Cleber have put together a special deal for newcomers. Although, it is definately a marketing strategy aimed at getting new students, it is still a great deal. Right now, they are offering unlimited training at BOTH gyms for only $200 a month. Not bad. Not bad at all.

His gym is in the Southwest corner of Springdale and Warner in HB. Stop by and check it out.
