Saturday
29th March 2008 was the date A.K.A.
England in partnership with David
Eckersley and the Dragons Gym - Leigh staged the 2nd
event of the 2008 season. The venue for this competition was Lowton
Civic Hall, in Leigh, near Wigan, England.
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 20 points
or more a contest is stopped due to 'Outclass'.
This is event headlined....
I.K.F. Amateur O.S.R. Ladies
Britsh Middleweight title ( DEFENCE ) and
I.K.F. Amateur O.S.R. Ladies
Britsh Welterweight title,
I.K.F. Amateur O.S.R. British Light-Middleweight

I.K.F. Amateur

),

Supporting athletes travelled from across the United Kingdom as competitors,
and the local community from Leigh showed their appreciation by giving
everyone tremendous support.
This amateur martial arts championships 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.
