Herb Dean will be in the corner of his fighter Savate Young at Rumble on the Rock in Hawaii. March 15th. Savate will be fighting Kendall Groves who is from Hawaii.
Herb took Savate to Kansas City last month and he knocked out his opponents in less than 60 seconds. Herb has been training Savate in his Muay Thai standup striking. Herb Dean was a Muay Thai fighter before he got into grappling.
Savate also has been training in grappling for years first with Joe Charles and for the last 4 years with a Rickson Gracie black belt. Savate in addition trains with Rickson himself on occassion. Living here in California Savate has trained with the Machados, Gokor & Gene LeBell, Antonio Mc Kee(two times national wrestling champion and trained Cro Cop in Wrestling, Savate was there) and more.
Rumble on the Rock is a full contact fighting event that showcases the various skills of the martial arts forms throughout the world. They say that Rubmle on the Rock is the fastest growing Mixed Martial Arts event in the world. People like to go to Hawaii so it kind of makes sense.
