More information to follow shortly.

Hi all,

we have been working hard in conjunction with the UKMF to bring the IFMA amateurs to Cambridge.

We hope that their are like minded instructors out there who wish to bring forward the amateur scene here in the UK, so that we can help build a stronger English Amateur Team.

Our hopes are that we would have provided a platform for instructors to propel their students into the Amateur games held all over the world, and finalising in Thailand on the 5th December.

I have personally invested some £550 in new protective official amateur equipment, to ensure that the fighters get the best chance in succeeding.

If only one fighter makes the team due to us holding the IFMA competitions, I will be very proud of what we have achieved.

The date has been set, the equipment ordered, the officials are ready, the medical staff will be onsite, and the opportunity is now... will you be there?

If you have any fighters you wish to attend this competition, then please email me their details (Name, Age, Weight, Experience).

Note** Please forward on to any instructors who you believe would be interested in getting their students onto the English IFMA Team.

(all equipment is provided, no cameras or camcorders allowed ~ we record and take pictures of the fighters during all events,
if you do not wish your fighters to be captured on film, please let us know in advance)

Here are the rules:

Thanks.

Kru Ryan

Not sure why but Liam, your fighting at 69.5kg as agreed, not as it says above 70kg.

Hi Ryan - Are the IFMAs in Thailand this year on the King's Birthday, then?

As far as I know the Finals are always on the Kings Birthday, with the prelimanry bouts during the week before.

But dont quote me, I'll have to check!

robinchai suited and booted in am gear !!!!!!

Wainey.. what?

dont worry ryan i am from another planet. haha.

Yeah Wainey urainus

Ok as much as I wont to get Hanuman Muay Thai on, I think at this stage it will be un-workable.

So please no more fighters... sorry you are gonna have to wait for the next event. Oh my god, did I just say that.. hats off to all the promoters out there.

Interclubs are one thing, Amatuers a total new level, I can only imagine the headaches of a pro show.

We now have 24 matched fights!

Just doubled the number of helping hands on the day, and have some good things coming for the fighters and spectators.

More info shortly.

Again thanks to everyone... now tell someone that there are some real quality fights coming up, in abundance.

Can't wait for Liam Robinson, Jackie Short, Tom (NMT), Erick Lloyd and Jack Griffin fights.

Two of the main fights I wont to see have just had their fighters pulled,

can anyone match?

Liam Robinson Ad 69.5 22f-7l Pra Chao Suua
Erik Llyod Ad 84 12f-3l Semtex

Yours in Muay Thai ~ Kru Ryan

Many thanks to Ryan for organising a fantastic event, myself and all the Phraya Pichai team from Bury really enjoyed it. The whole event ran very smoothly, all the hard work was much appreciated by all.

Just a quick mention to my team mates Matthew Butcher and Jack Griffin for their excellent wins. We will look forward to the next one!

Richie

Hi all,

here is a link to the next IFMA Amatuer International competition (Busan - Korea).

Let me know if anyone from the competition yesterday goes, it would be nice to know if we have helped in some way.

The next event late in the winter months of October/November (date to be confirmed) will hopefully draw a better crowed for the fighters to show of their skills to.

We had a cracking 17 bouts from fighters travelling far and wide, with 13 of the UK's leading instructors attending with students.

There was definately some prospects for the English Team in yesterday, with at least two that will probably draw the right attention.

There will be a dvd available later on next week for £15, or £20 for the dvd and a limited edition IFMA Cambridge Elimination t-shirt (inc. p&p).

Once again thanks to everyone who took part yesterday, if you have any reasonable suggestions on the event, please do let me know, your input is much appreciated.

Yours in Muay Thai

Kru Ryan

(pictures to follow shortly)

hats of to you Ryan every fight i was well matched and the organisation of the event was spot on.Drop me a e-mail whwn the DVD is ready and we will defo have 1.

It was a great event, very well organised and some very good bouts. Nice one.

unfirtunately could not make it any chance of the results

Good event Ryan thanks.
My team mate Richie Gent has already posted - I echo all that he's said (unlucky on the split decision loss Richie - we nearly had 3 fighters, 3 wins). I'm looking forward to watching the DVD, especially as I saw very little of the other fights as I was prep'ing fighters. Great to see everyone there (missed speaking to Sean Toomey and Liam Robinson though!)

Regards,
Don

16 out of 17 bouts were unanimous which was nice to see, the split one i felt the boxer from phraya pichai had done enough to earn a winning draw, the other 2 judges also has it a draw but opted for the style of the other boxer. it was a tough one as all fights were closely well matched so there were a few draws which you had to pick a winner according to IFMA guidelines even if the points were equal. Congratulations Ryan, thanks for looking after us, bet you are gutted u didnt have it in your own gym now, could have fitted it in i reckon.

Thanks Ryan,

Nice event, well organized, plus good Thai food !

I look forward to the next one.

Thank you all..

Bill, Liam, Don, Darren, Stu, Nigel, Richard, Maxine, I hope to see you all back in October.

Richie, you know how close the fight was, and when you watch the dvd, you'll see the debate still went on long after you left the ring.

Unfortunately someone has to win, otherwise I believe it would have been given a draw.

Next time, no retreat no surrender till someone is knocked out.. then you'll know for sure!

Liam.. you know it... oh well lesson learned... paramedics and venue hire where the financial winners on this event...

however I think English Amatuer Muay Thai took a decent step forward, hopefully in a positive direction, and for that I believe I achieved my goal.

I'm looking forward to the next one, iron out one or two things, and see if I can make it better, smoother and bigger.

Ryan

best amateur even ive ever seen in the uk for proper muaythai, star fot he show for me was Harley McLoed from Semtex- looked class.
oh and there was a funny performance from another lad at semtex who more bouncy then zebedee in a tigger outfit, his cornermen loved it!

Thanks liam for your kind words, harley trains 5 days a week and is a humble little guy, the spinning backfist king's name is Ron, who we now call KUNG FU PANDA.

And thanks to Ryan and all involved, and we will also be there in October!

Thanks Steve, your input was well needed.

Same for me Harley and Anna from KO.

Also a big thanks to Richard, Paul, Adam, Jesse, Will, Gerry, and Sean Toomey!

Any Pictures yet Ryan?

all the thai birds loved Harley too, i could hear them saying Handsome boy in thai lol dont let him go to bangkok when he is 16 or it will be all over haha he was by far the best for me probably followed by Zak Lydon for style and proper muay thai technique.

I will pass on the good words to the little guys, and the advice to by-pass BKK, when they are older. Have a few soi cowboy casualties in gym at mo', already planning their return lol. Hopefully next event will be better supported.

Hi Ryan - Are the IFMAs in Thailand this year on the King's Birthday, then?"

Hey man, aparently not. I am awaiting full confirmation at the moment, but here is how I understand it... will clarify later if its not right.

IFMA are now part of Multy Sport Games, and just like the Olympics any country can bid to host these games.

This year it is Busan - Korea Aug '08, and next year is Darwin - Australia May '09, with possibly Bangkok - Thailand Dec '10 (not confirmed).

This is something I didnt know, and only now becomes a little clearer, so my appologies for some of the above statements about the finals being in Thailand, last year it was right though.

Go Ryan with the Hey Man! next time use Bro please.

Hey Bro,

stop pushing my pineapples! Cha

So just to clarify the above...

Some official info I got recently to try and help clarify.

As MuayThai has grown so much that IFMA is now a part of GAISF, we now can move with all the other sports for Olympic recognition.

But we first must be a part of games like TAFISA, ARAFURA & the Commonwealth games ect, first.

So in essence this is the sport of MuayThai growing bigger than Thailand.

for me..

I think its important that we continue to push forward, and as suicidal as it sounds.. i'm gonna try and hold amatuers every other month or so..

hopefully by the end of 2009, we would have helped establish a strong English team worth competing anywhere in the world.

Good luck to you few who are competing in Busan later this month. Chok Dee!

25 weight catagories (male/female)..

a team with 25 fighters, managers, trainers etc.

all representing England with pride...

Now wouldnt that be something?!

A dream, or a possibility.. only time will tell.

best amateur currently running in UK IMO, proper judging proper referees clear guidelines on rules / format. Will def. support this.

We are in Ryan, will send fighters details soon.

What are the guidelines for competing in these events??? How many fights etc???

Thanks Sean.

Marra if you give me your email address (or email me) I will send them to you.

Out later this week, been waiting for the covers.

DVD covers finaly done, will be posted out to all tomorrow.
