Hello all at this organisation looking good and progressing well,I would like to know if ex pro fighters can fight or get involved?

Really looking forward to the first AKA of the year,Darlington is always a great atmosphere and usually full with around 300 spectators creating a really exciting atmosphere.

All my team are really looking forward to it and training real hard for any challengers from the other teams!.

Mr W,

Long time - no post!

IKF Rules etc can be found on the following link.

http://www.ikfkickboxing.com/RulesMain.htm

Unfortunately this event is too for us, but good luck with it & looking forward to bringing a team up for the March Comp

not sure that we are going to get many in for this one, its on the same day as Matt's 30th bday and having a party for him plus all going down to london for Liams fight 2 weeks before so will be on the drink. Hopefully may have one or two but wont be the usual crowd, booooo coz we love the darlo events too!

Nice DVD's Neil :o)

Hey Paul, we will have to keep an eye on Mr Smith and his challenge for cheap bar supremacy!

:)

LOL yes we will Neil,mind you ill go anywhere for a cheap pint!.

We are getting some enquiries about having some kids bouts on the event.

Please note :

All kids bouts have to wear headguards, even though there is no head contact allowed at all.

Also, on the O.S.R. (open scoring rules), Kicks, ( including Knee-kicks ) score just one single point per clean hit, not two points as with the adults.

Headline Bouts - Top of the Billing.
------------------------------------

Three championship bouts. Two of which are title defences. The first will be a ladies ( deadlier than the male ) title contest. Followed by a Light-Middleweight title defence, by the current British Champion against a former World Title Challenger.

Then to finish the event with a bag, our final contest, again a title defence, should be explosive contest not to be missed as this will be under Full Thai Rules, allowing Elbows and Knees to the head!

Standard Tickets are still available, and we have just one table left at ringside ( cost £200.00 - which includes waitress service ).

Instructors are welcome at the event at no cost, including a single guest ( as always on our events ). Should anyone be interested in the above, please telephone or text Neil on 07973-43-18-18.
