Kickboxing Reports

IKF FULL CONTACT SHOW

SUNDAY 26TH FEBRUARY 2012
ROCHESTER CASINO ROOMS

Great show put on by IKF Promoter Colin Payne of TKO Gym, but not a good night for Kicks. James Caldecourt gave 100%; and the three rounds between him and Tom Scutt were a definite crowd pleaser as well as an all out war! His more experienced opponent took another win to his record, but this would definitely be good for a rematch later down the line. Sarwar didn’t have his best five rounds in the ring against awkward Southpaw and Still English Champion Darren Chapman. Sarwar never seemed to find his range and timing against Chapman who took every round with his fluid kicks and ringwork. Special Mention and Congratulations to Stevie Cook from Pegasus Gym who became the new IKF Professional Light Welterweight British Champion.

Kicks Fighters had an enjoyable day at the Nak Championships on Sunday January 29th at Grand Master Blackwell’s Academy, Ipswich. All of our fighters put 100% into the day. We came away with several finalists and champions.
Special recognition was given to Robert and George Kenly who had to fight each other. The two brothers put on a very skilled and exceptionally controlled display of Kickboxing.
Though some divisions were full, other divisions were uncontended. This was the case for Vijay Arora (Sussex Uni Club) who was the only Under 55Kg Male, and also for George Kenly as the only under 50Kg Low Kick Male Fighter.

Pegasus Light Continuous Kickboxing Show

SUNDAY 27TH NOVEMBER 2011

Kicks Fighters had a very enjoyable day at this event. put on by Chief Pegasus Trainer and Fighter Stevie Cook. This was Light Continuous Kickboxing as it should be.  Rules were clearly established prior to the event and a disqualification of one of the fighters early on in the day because of excessive contact set the tone for controlled and skilled contact.

All our Fighters put in 100%.  Our regular Juniors were there showing their ever increasing skill and ring craft, and George Kenly deserves an extra mention for his chivalrous display of skill and control in a non decision bout against a feisty female fighter from Pegasus Gym, who (as we told him) was not going to be holding back. Thanks George!
