With many disciplines in Point Fighting, Light Contact Continuous Kickboxing, Full Contact Kickboxing, Low Kick Kickboxing, K1 Rules, Kick Light and Musical forms.

Here’s how our members went in Melbourne:

Lauchy “Rolex” Murray entered a few tournaments and got himself three GOLD medals to wear proudly for Kick Light, Point fighting and Modified MMA. “Rolex” won his Point Fighting with a stoppage. He was even asked to do a demonstration right in front of the man himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger! What an experience for Lauchy!

Austin Fredricks had a win in his first fight and then a loss in the second in Kick Light. Well done Austin on making your entrance in the ring for 2017!

Brooke “Psyco” Cooper won Gold in a junior tournament and then later that weekend gaining another belt to add to her recent collection. In the senior fight Brooke was up against a very tough and experienced fighter, wining herself the WAKO Oceanic belt! Fantastic work Brooke!

Well after quite some dramas, it turns out I now have one hell of a fight tomorrow. I will be up against the very tough and experienced Pia Salgado for a WAKO title belt. I certainly have my work cut out for me with this one but hopefully I can step it up! I’m honoured to have such an awesome opportunity, The Arnold Classic is such a massive event with talent at every corner from every discipline from body building to karate?? not to mention I’m in Melbourne! Life is great lets bring it home kaos! ” ~ Brooke Psyco” Cooper

Josh brings home a Gold and a Silver for today’s (Saturday) efforts! … (Sunday’s) efforts was two gold!! First one was a tough couple of fights for gold kickboxing! Unfortunately the second was by default as the opponent didn’t show for the MMA bout. What an amazing experience to of been part of!! ~ Jayson King (Josh’s Dad)

BRISBANE

Zak “Pitbull” Tilley went 5 rounds of FTR giving himself the W. According to his trainer, he was losing the first 2 rounds so they changed their game plan and he did exactly what was needed to win the last 3 rounds!!!!! What a fantastic result Zak!

THAILAND

Joe Florence went to Thailand to bring home the WMO World Title in Bangkok on Saturday night at a tournament. His opponent didn’t show for the first fight so he got a walk through to fight against Brazil.
