Karate Kid to UFC Superstar

The color green has engulfed the world of MMA and I’m not talking about money.  What I am referring to is the greened haired MMA champion Louis Gaudinot.  He started well over twenty years ago becuase of where he grew up and how small he was as a child.  He grew up in the bad part of Yonkers New York.  Being tiny in a bad neighborhood, Louis’s parents knew he would have to defend himself at one or many points in his life, so they brought him to the Tiger Schulmann’s in Yonkers NY.Physical size never mattered to Louis as a child.  The confidence that he developed at Tiger Schulmann’s made him out to be the largest kid in school.  The one time some kid tried to push him around he realized what a mistake it was as Louis quickly beat him up.  Martial Arts wasn’t just an activity for Louis Gaudinot, it became a way of life. As the years went by there was a place you can always find him and that was on the mat teaching just like his instructor Sensei Peter Tirelli.  Gaudinot had a calling and that was to change the lives of his students.  As a young man he had to take a step back from training because he attended college, but during the breaks Louis was back on the mat doing what he loved the most.  That was training and teaching at Tiger Schulmann’s! Once he graduated from college Louis knew where his future was heading and that was barefoot on the mat of Tiger Schulmann’s teaching.  Soon after returning from college he jumped back into the competition circuit.  One MMA fight after the next he reached success!  He became the flyweight champion of R.O.C!  The Ring of Combat has put more fighters in the UFC then any other professional MMA venue.  During the success in the ring Louis reached another goal of his and he become the owner and head instructor of the Hoboken Tiger Schulmann’s. He is the true definition of Sensei.His passion for the children and adults is unreal.  How he brings out his lessons in ways that anyone can understand.  If you saw his children you would think they’re UFC superstars themselves, and the best part is Louis never expects them to compete.  His biggest pleasure comes from getting them so good  he knows they can handle themselves against any bully or attacker if need be.  Besides that Louis has helped countless amounts of adults lose tremendous amounts of weight, truly changing their lives in ways people only dream of. While teaching at the Hoboken Tiger Schulamann’s Louis made it onto the popular reality TV show The Ultimate Fighter.  This reality show scouts to find great talent, each week the guys face off and fight each other.  The last man standing becomes the Ultimate Fighter and makes it into the main event.  Unfortunately Louis didn’t win, but with his talent and heart he made him into the big show, the UFC!  The rest his history!!!  One of Louis’s fight’s he put on this choke where he got fight of the night honors!   Not only has been an exciting fighter to watch, but he has been very humble!  Over the weekend in London Louis did what he does best, and that’s put on a show!  It was the first minute of the first round and Louis put on his classic Guillotine choke, he jumped up and put his legs around his opponent while he was holding onto his neck.  Knowing that he got the submission Louis nodded his head to his coach Master Tiger Schulmann saying he got this.  Louis’s opponent tried to slam him, but that didn’t matter.  From on top of his guy Louis had the choke and finished the fight in under two minutes in the first round!!!  Louis we are all so proud of what you accomplished, I can’t wait too see you back in the octagon!
