Saturday
22nd November 2008 was the date A.K.A.
England in partnership with Lee
Green and the Higher Level Gym - Urmston staged the
6th and final event
of the 2008 season. The venue for this competition was the Urmston
Leisure Centre.
This I.K.F. sanctioned
Kickboxing competition was conducted under Olympic style rules similar
to Olympic Amateur Boxing known as '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 40
points or more a contest is stopped due to 'Outclass'.
