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.
