IKF Point Muay Thai / Kickboxing…
Ready for the 2010 IKF World Classic

Orlando, Florida, USA

Summer has arrived and so has the time to get registered for the 12th IKF World Kickboxing Classic (July 23rd, 24th and 25th) in Orlando, Florida, USA. This event is one of the most prestigious events for amateur kickboxing in the world! Those who are in the know- know that this event is one that should not be missed especially by those serious about their future as well as adding the words of IKF World Classic Champion to their resume.

The ever-growing IKF Point Muay Thai / Kickboxing Division has been growing in leaps and bounds in the past two years at the World Classic. This year, several gyms are promising to bring out as many fighters as possible that will only make the tournament even better! Already, we are seeing more pre-registrations from semi-contact fighters around the world. As usual, we expect an even bigger group to enter for later registration this year, which is as late as Saturday, July 24th at 12:Noon. The competition will start at 6:PM to be the evening entertainment for the World Classic.

Additionally, with our IKF/ PKB Florida Representative Mr. Jerry Mendez and Mr. Dan Paneda hosting exciting IKF/ PKB Events in Florida in the past year, we are hoping to see a lot more Floridians on board and ready to compete. Both gentlemen will be on hand to assist with officiating.

Men, Women and Children as young as 5 years and as old as "dirt" can compete (lol - :) ), as long as there is someone in their division to fight. The action will be hot but of course as always, the semi contact rule is in full affect as there are NO KNOCKOUTS ALLOWED. There will be divisions in IKF/Point Muay Thai, International Hi Kick and International Low Kick styles. However, sometimes we have to mix and match to assure everyone coming gets a fair fight.

Everyone planning to bring their fighters really needs to know the difference in this competition and what will be going on in the main arena. The semi contact rules must be paramount. However, in saying this, we encourage you to use your speed instead of power and focus on the points and you will have a great time at this event! Moreover, BE IN SHAPE, the 2, 2 minute rounds with 1 round of OT is in affect for this event. We will modify it for the Junior Fighters, but be in shape and ready to rock as these rounds seem a lot longer than it sounds on paper.

Just as last year's event, the World Classic will be held at the largest Marriott in the world in Orlando, Florida. This beautiful location is one that stands out and the luxury rooms and exciting scenery with Disney World just a stone throw away, makes it a great location for such an event. Heck, planning your family's vacation around the tourney at this wonderful location is not a bad idea!

In addition to semi contact, The IKF World Classic will again have the best divisions of Full contact bouts with divisions in Muay Thai, International Hi Kick and International Low Kick styles. Over 200 fighters will travel afar to prove one thing…That they are the best!

Some will come with an illusion of greatness and others will come with a vision for victory but either way, their destiny will need to be decided in the ring! When you get a ton of fighters, trainers and pumped up fans in one room hungry for a fight and hungry for a win…its going to be a lot of fireworks going off even if the 4th of July has past!

We look forward to seeing your there! Remember, Register Early and Save! Forward March! More information on IKF Point Muay Thai / Kickboxing, Contact Johnny Davis at johnnyd@akpromotions.org or (916) 205-4762, (916) 630-9254.

JUDGES: Thanks in advance too for those that would like to volunteer some time to assist with judging some matches for the PKB. You must be a practicing Kickboxer with at least 4 years experience or a Black Belt Martial artist. You would also have to attend the rules meeting on Friday, July 23rd.

Results From California Black Belt League's
IKF Point Muay Thai / Kickboxing
May 22nd, 2010 - Turlock, California, USA


The California Black Belt League (C.B.B.L)
Completes First IKF / PKB Event!

Future is bright for New Martial Arts Circuit. Pus, JD's Point Boxing© division kicks off its first bout!

The Merefuentas brothers were all smiles with the success of their most recent California Black Belt League's martial arts event that included an assortment of martial arts like kumite sparring, weapons, katas, grappling and the fastest growing semi contact striking tournament competition IKF Point Kickboxing©.

The Merefuentas brothers are clearly admired by many martial artist in the area and looks as they will be very successful in an area where there doesn't seem to be a lot of martial arts tournament competition. Therefore, although the participation for the first IKF/PKB was light this time around, the future is bright for this exciting fighting division as well for those who participate in C.B.B.L events. IKF/PKB semi contact competition was a perfect fit for the CBBL as it is with other karate circuits in the area and the fans seemed to really enjoy the action! The C.B.B.L will have IKF/PKB in all of their upcoming events for all of 2010 and hopefully for years to come.

Fighters Jesus Barrios of Foresthill, CA and trained by Mr. Tom Shively and Daniel Oseguera of Modesto, CA who is trained by Paul Mendoza and Matt Miller get the credit as being the first official Point Boxing© match. Also, Josh Shively and Matt Miller gave an excellent Point Boxing demonstration. Shively Jr. showed skill but Miller was very impressive as he worked angles, showed fast hands and good footwork. Miller, who has been participating in IKF Point Kickboxing for over a year or so now is getting ready for his full contact match in Sacramento on July 2nd which will be held at the Doubletree Hotel.

Point Boxing© is semi contact boxing where no knockouts are allowed and competitors focus on bettering their "hand" skills to improve overall as a fighter. Both men showed excellent techniques and landed very good head and body shots. Osequera would prove to have a little more skill as he won with a unanimous decision by the judges. Point Boxing© will more than likely be sanctioned by the newly IAB Boxing Organization - www.iabboxing.com recently formed by International Fight Sports - IFS - www.ifightsports.com CEO Steve Fossum. The Boxing organization will sanction both amateur and professional boxing matches

The next C.B.B.L event is scheduled for June 19th, 2010 on Ripon, CA.

Kru Yong of Sacramento, California
Scores Excellent On His IKF/PKB Tournament
This Past Weekend!

Kru Yong Saiyarath of Sacramento a master instructor of the Art of Muay Thai Kickboxing and trainer of many talented fighters in the area held yet another successful IKF Point Kickboxing© Tournament this past weekend in Sacramento, CA at the Inderkum High School.

On a Saturday afternoon, one that many were thinking about the super bout between Boxing Champions Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Shane Mosely, over 60 fighters including men, women and children came to compete in this semi-contact event and still got home in time to enjoy the showcase of talent by both fighters but in particular...the"Money Man."

The IKF/PKB action was as always, hot and heavy but everyone seemed to really enjoy the action as well as the experience of developing their skills in the great sport of Muay Thai/Kickboxing. As always, Kru Yong was an excellent host allowing the event to flow while making sure he kept all factors of the event running smoothly. His next IKF/PKB event is scheduled for September 11, 2010.

Special thanks to Mr. Yong for being an advocate for IKF Point Kickboxing©...the fastest growing semi-contact division on the martial arts circuit. Special thanks also to IKF/PKB officials, David Rosales, Rich Davis, Sean Cronin and Bobby Rosales who did an excellent job judging and keeping the fight moving quickly and fairly

IKF/PKB President Johnny Davis spoke to all in attendance and reminded everyone of the IKF's commitment to safety and fairness to all who attend their events. He brought attention to other events taking place in the area but reminded them that if the event is not listed on the IKF events web page, IKF/PKB events web page or AKP web pages, that the IKF Is not a part of the event!

He reminded them of the quote recently given to him by a friend in the sport..."fill up the pool and everyone floats"...in relationship to continuing to grow the sport of Muay Thai / Kickboxing. He hopes this is the case as others do their events but cautions lack of understanding of this type of competition and especially keeping them safe for all competitors... could have a counter-affect...in that "everyone sinks."

Mr. Jordan and Felipe Pallen...
Land Huge Results for IKF Point Kickboxing©!

Jordan (Right) and Felipa Pallen are serious about growing the martial arts. This past weekend they again demonstrated why they are noted by most as the leaders in offering the best martial arts events in the area. With a combination of Karate, Kata's, Grappling, Phillipino Martial Arts and the always exciting IKF Point Kickboxing divisions, there tournament stands out from the rest. Fighters, trainers and thousands of fans piled in the Hyatt Hotel's Event Center in Santa Clara, CA to witness the event and were delighted at what they saw in this tremendous three day event.

The IKF Point division doubled in size from last year's event with approx. sixty competitors. Thanks to additional marketing efforts by the Pallen's, new Kickboxing clubs that are rarely seen at these events showed up to witness what all the buzz was about with IKF Point Kickboxing and now know why.

By most accounts they and their students loved it and just as last year, are promising to bring even more competitors in the coming years. On one account, an instructor said that his gym is loaded with youth Muay Thai fighters but he was reluctant to enter. However, after seeing the the "NO Knockout Rule" as real and other precautionary measures to keep the fighters safe as well as all of the excitement, he regretted not entering but said..."next time for sure! " Special Thanks to the Officials in helping with the event. Mr Dennis Guila, David Rosales, Rich Davis and Matt Miller.

New IKF/PKB Official

Mr. Rosales has officiated at several IKF Point Kickboxing© tournaments and has shown to be fair and proficient in his decisions. David was born in San Francisco, CA. He started training in martial arts when he was 15 years old with Instructor Frank Scalercio in Santa Rosa, CA.

Mr. Rosales was absent from the arts until approximately the age of 18 when he resumed training at Koo Sol. He trained there for approximately one year where he earned a green belt however, again he had to relocate to Antioch, CA.

After moving to Concord, CA, he joined Master Yu's Martial Arts. He trained for 7-10 years until mid 30's where he earned a first degree black belt in the style of Tae Kwon Do. His job, both fortunately and unfortunately, took him to Hawaii for 6 years.
