This event is looking to match 30 contests in total ( 60 Athletes ).

Pict: Amateur Action - Holding Knee-Kick

--------------

I have had a few emails asking when the regtistration deadline is.

This is Friday 30th May for those wishing to pay a reduced entry fee of £25.00.
( note : £5.00 per spectator ticket commision, just 5 tickets = free entry ).

Late entries after this date will be accepted, but the entry fee will be £30.00
( note : £5.00 per spectator ticket commision, just 6 tickets = free entry ).

On Thursday 5th June, we will confirm with the trainers all matched competitors.

-------------

The entry fee system helps with preliminary matching - as this should guarentee opponents.

The entry fee system also operates as a "Compensation method". Should your opponent withdraw from the event ( no-show ) you will get your entry fee returned PLUS the entry fee of the opponent that withdrew.

This is to compesate those that may have taken time from work, or incurred personal expenses in attending the event - especially as many athletes attend from across the U.K.

------------

Best of luck to all competitors.

I may have a few of my MMA guys for you Neil :o)

Has anyone heard / seen Mr Pearson recently?

He seems to be deep-deep-undercover!

A quick reminder for those instructors that have emailed - texted - spoken to, saying that they are entering competitors, yet not done so yet.

ASAP to avoid disapointment.

Thanks,

:)

Thai food will be served all day :o)

there's loads of super-middleweight women this time, excellent!!

Good luck to Claire Baldwin and Paige x

Dan Taylor stepped up a level to defeat the vastly experienced Paul Quayle former AKA & IKF British Champion and AKA Intercontinental Champion to become the new IKF British Cruiser Weight Champion. A great display from both players, well done to you Dan.

Thanks also to Neil Holden and his team, Dave Eckersley, Pele Nathan, Ronnie Green, Tony Dean, Steve Pender and the rest of the Higher Level event team for making such a great show and also thanks to all the Instructors and Players for all your support contributions.

I’m off to Marbella now for a much needed break then back to training next week ready for the IKF World Tournament Championships in America where hopefully I will be adding some more silverware to our ever growing trophy cabinet at Higher Level, onwards and upwards. ;o)
