I.K.F.
Amateur Kickboxing Event.
 --------------
Saturday 8th December 2007 was the date A.K.A.
England in partnership with Steve
Logan's
K-STAR Academy staged the final event of the 2007 season.
The venue for this competition was THE ROYALE SUITE , in Birmingham.
This I.K.F. sanctioned
Kickboxing competition was conducted under Olympic style rules similar
to Olympic Amateur Boxing featuring 'Open Scoring' using electronic
score boards. The O.S.R. rules
are proving very popular now with even more schools in attendance at
this event, as more athletes look to compete in a safe competition format.
Of particular attraction to the O.S.R.
format is the 'Outclass'
rule, that ensures an athlete is protected form taking too much punishment.
This comes into effect through the 'Open Scoring' on the electronic
scoreboards, and should an athlete be losing to an opponent by 20 points
or more a contest is stopped due to 'Outclass'.
The top of the billing for this event were three international titles.
These were the I.K.F. World Super-Welterweight
Title, the I.K.F. Inter-Continental
Light-Middleweight Title and the I.K.F.
Inter-Continental Super-Middleweight title.
International bouts represented England
vs India, and England
vs Iran. Supporting this,
athletes travelled from across the United Kingdom, to make up an exciting
support card that featured several national titles.
One in particular that was added to the event at short notice was for
the British Junior Amateur Title ( 29.5kgs ). This was filmed by Channel
4 Television who are running a documentary on children who compete.
Also too, a first in the U.K. was an amateur M.M.A. contest under Sport-Combat
rules, sanctioned by the sister association to the I.K.F.
- the I.S.C.F. ( International
Sport Combat Federation ).
