Can Big Hair be the Key to a Big Win for Pryor!
John Pryor - Sacramento, CA
15 year old John Pryor, a fighter out of the Cedric Robinson's TKD School of Sacramento, CA is hoping for a big win on the June 11th IKF Triple F Kickboxing Smoker card in Roseville, CA. He will be featured in a special junior full contact bout with tough Rocklin, CA native Harotoun Benjanyan. Pryor started his kickboxing competition off in an IKF Point Kickboxing tournament (semi contact) and did very well. However, one of his losses was to Benjanyan who took first place. Pryor his hoping to avenge his loss when he lets it all hang out in the full contact arena!
Pryor, a black belt in tae kwon do, wears his hair big but the question is whether is heart is bigger? Only he can answer this when he steps in the ring to meet Benjanyan.

Information Below from the Oct. 9th, 2004 Event
Roseville, California, USA: After an aggressive year of promoting and tens of thousands of dollars later, A.K. Promotion's Johnny Davis finally feels that he has found the keys to help take the sport of kickboxing to the next level. The IKF Triple F Smoker this past weekend in Roseville, CA was one of his best events to date for A.K. Promotions (AKP) events in regards to quality of fights and the enthusiasm of the hundreds of fight fans in attendance.
Although AKP has had several shows that were considered successful and had them in notorious locations and venues like the Platinum Live Supper Club in Hollywood, CA and several nice venues in Northern, CA. Davis admits that he paid big money for travel expenses, food, hotel lodging, radio, newspaper and TV advertising, fancy artwork etc. to give the fighters what he felt they deserved and what other sports offered their athletes. However, what he found was those true to kickboxing would almost do it for the glory and love of the sport alone. That's the great thing about great people in a great sport. They are willing to go the extra mile to move the sport in a direction that will give the sport its proper standing in the worldwide sports arena. This past weekend was a momentous one for AKP as the promotions' team put together a doubleheader event that gave an assortment of kickboxing competitors the opportunity to show their skills before family members and fight fans!
The day started with the now two and a half year old IKF Point Kickboxing Tournament at Lords Gym in Roseville, CA. The event featured semi contact bouts in divisions of men women and children. The competition is continuous and a big challenge for those starting out in the sport. All wear full pads, headgear and protection for the feet. Additionally, the junior fighters wear 12 oz. gloves while the adult competitors wear 16 oz. gloves. Many competitors had the opportunity to see what it took to win one of the beautiful four feet trophies offered for first place. Some thought before the event, that it would be a cakewalk but later were quickly ready change their story and accept that IKF Point Kickboxing was really a big challenge and something they had to go back to the gym to improve upon, if they wanted to win.
The tournament this weekend had several new faces from surrounding gyms. Perry's Full Circle Kickboxing of Grass Valley, CA brought several women to the event who rally added a touch of class to the event as they paraded in, dressed in pink but ready for war! Additionally, New Century Kenpo of Rancho Cordova, CA, Tim Vanderveen Kickboxing of Sacramento, CA, and Cedric Robinson of Robinson's TKD a chain of about twelve martial arts schools in the Sacramento, CA also joined the event for the first time. Mike Morello and Steve Morello's team from Santa Barbara came to the area a day early to for some of the students to compete in the event. In fact, Mike's wife Elizebeth took first place in a tough women's division. In the words of Mike, "well, I guess we will have to make a couple of extra trips next year to these events because my wife is hooked!" All trainers and students seemed overall pleased with the event with promises of competing in future events. The event also had long time supporters, Ruby Navarro of Navarro's Kickboxing out of San Francisco, CA, Dennis Guila of Antioch, CA who recently expanded his facility in that area and says, "my students really like the event and we want to continue to support it."
The morning kicked off with the kids divisions mixing it up! This division is always a big crowd pleaser and especially for the gloating parents. It seems that each passing tournament these kids are maturing with their techniques and understanding of what the sport of Kickboxing is really all about. That's the purpose of the event, to instill the spirit and respect for the sport that will be lasting.
The women mixed it up next and what action! As mentioned earlier Perry Full Circle Kickboxing School of Grass Valley, CA brought several women to this event who came in very confident and fought well but were not quiet ready for Elizabeth Morello from Santa Barbara, CA who would eventually win first place in the division.
The men's division would end the day with some great bouts! Some of the men felt prepared to fight in the full contact event prior to the event at night but were thankful that they had the opportunity to step into the Point Kickboxing arena where knockouts are not allowed before going into the full contact.
At the end of this event all participants received their awards and seemed to be pleased with the flow of the event and the action that IKF Point Kickboxing brings to table!
The AKP team was already in force setting up the evening for the Triple F Smoker long before the Point Kickboxing Tournament was over. Chairs were being set up at Marinoble's Kickboxing facility about three miles down the street. Weigh-ins that started at 3:PM went well. There were a few issues with fighters not making their requested weight but thanks to IKF Representative Dan Stell, at the end of the weigh-ins ten fights were matched and ready to do battle in a great night of kickboxing.
One of the great things about this event was that ninety nine percent of everyone who committed to showing up did and ready to fight! This alone speaks volumes for the type of people we are nurturing in this sport. Perhaps it was that many of the fighters were making their debut, but more so, this writer believes that they showed because of the integrity and commitment of the trainers. Gene Fields (Trainer of K-1 Champion Carter Williams) had all of his fighters there and in great shape. Ruby Navarro showed her versatility as she had fighters in the Point Kickboxing tournament and the Smoker as did the Morello team.
The night started with Helen Davis (Wife of promoter Johnny Davis) presentation of America the Beautiful and what a beautiful rendition. One lady was in tears as she told me of her emotions as she listened. Helen's presentation of this song set the tone for what was to be a great night of kickboxing in a packed house of fight fans! (All results were posted in an article a few days ago below)
One thing that stood out in this event was all matches seemed even and both fighters gave their all to win. Each fight had a level of excitement that could have been headliners held in the largest venues across the country for top dollar. The 16 oz. gloves (Size required due to this being a "smoker" event and not sanctioned by the State Athletic Commission) made for great sound and affect for appeal but left the fighters less banged up in the end but at the same time, let them know they where in a real fight.
DJ Mike kept the music pumping as the fighters took the walk to the ring under the excitement of the ring announcer's voice! Finally, AKP also re-introduced the fans at the event to a phrase that in hopes will bring more excitement to ring entrances across the county! "LETS GET READY TO KICK-A-A-A-RRRUMPASSS!" - Meaning Kick butt, Kick Rump! Kick A- -! Get Rowdy!
What
made it successful was a combination of things that makes ventures such as this
successful…good people! Special thanks to all volunteers from the AKP
team and JD Kickboxing of Rocklin, CA.
