Saturday 22nd September 2008 was the date A.K.A.
England in partnership with Warrington
Kickboxing Studio ( www.warrington-kickboxing.com
) staged the fifth event of the 2008 season. The venue for this competition
was THE PARR HALL, in Warrington, Cheshire.
This I.K.F. sanctioned
amateur kickboxing competition was conducted under the I.K.F.
Kickboxing format known as O.S.R.
( Open Scoring Rules ). This is based upto Olympic
Style Rules
as seen in Olympic Amateur Boxing, and features 'Open Scoring' using
electronic score boards.
All the striking techniques and methods are allowed as is used in the
professional Kickboxing division from Japan, known as K-1
, which allows Kicks, Punches and Knees - with restricted
clinch holding. This combination makes for very fast and exciting contests,
yet under very safe conditions for the participating athletes.
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.
In the week leading upto the event, which had a maximum capacity for
30 bouts ( 60 athletes )
over 110 entries
had been submitted by people wishing to compete on the event!
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 were
no fewer than four
Championship title defences!
Something rarely seen in the Professional ranks, especially as two of
them were in fact the second
defences by the champions!
This competition was
organised thanks to the support of the official 2008 sponsor of the
A.K.A.
England Circuit, one of the worlds leading martial arts
equipment suppliers M.A.R. International
(www.qualitymartialarts.com).
Everyone that was involved in this event would like to thank Mr
Ali proprietor of M.A.R. International
for his support, as well as Steve Fossum, the president
of the International Kickboxing Federation.
