Saturday
24th October 2009 was the date A.K.A.
England in partnership with Dave
Eckersley and the Leigh
Kickboxing Studio staged the
5th event of the 2009 season. The venue for
this competition was the Lowton
Civic Hall, Lancashire.

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.
Of particular attraction to the O.S.R.
format is the 'Outclass'
rule, that ensures an athlete is protected form taking too much punishment.
The techniques allowed during the contests are the same as those most
commonly used worldwide for Proffesional Kickboxing, known as 'K-1'
Rules or 'Oriental' Rules.
These are Kicks and Boxing, with a restriction on the clinch-hold defence
and only a 'single' holding Knee-Kick being allowed before athletes
are ordered to break. This leads very fast paced, action from the moment
the openning bell tolls and is great for spectators.

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'.
This reduces the chances of players picking up potential injuries.
Kickboxers travelled from across the United Kingdom as competitors,
and the local community from the host town of Leigh
showed their appreciation by giving everyone tremendous support.

This amateur martial arts event was organised thanks to the support
of the
official 2009 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
