The New Jersey Martial Arts Hall of Fame is extremely proud of its inaugural class of inductees to the New Jersey Martial Arts Hall of Fame. This class will be honored at the induction dinner gala to be held at the beautiful Crowne Plaza Meadowlands on December 7, 2012.

On December 7th, Rugilo will be inducted into the first class of honorees.

Rugilo is a lifelong practitioner of the martial arts, and began her Thai training under the tutelage of James Wellington.

Rugilo fought in the first Muay Thai event ever held at the prestigious Madison Square Garden. In this March 2012 contest, Rugilo captured a WKA title.

Rugilo also fought and won in both 2011 and 2012 at the first Thai shows ever held in an Atlantic City casino; Bally’s.

Rugilo currently operates a martial arts school, GirlFight, located in Toms River.

New Jersey is building a rich tradition in non-boxing martial arts and our goal is to recognize these individuals and entities. Our goal is to honor those involved with New Jersey martial arts and to celebrate with them, at an evening with family and friends. Our focus is on those directly involved in New Jersey martial arts. This truly is a historical moment in our State’s combat sports history as our intent is to have the New Jersey State Martial Arts Hall of Fame continue for many years and serve as a record for those outstanding individuals involved in martial arts in our State.

We hope you will join us on December 7, 2012. Mark your calendars now and purchase your tickets early so you can be sure to be a part of New Jersey martial arts history. Call 201-538-4843 or visit www.njmmaawards.com and get your ticket and join us in a historic night for New Jersey and for martial arts. It is certain to be a terrific night with family, friends, fun, and music.
