World Title Fight!

Addition 1-13-04

Host Venue Announced for April 9th World Title Fight!

Roseville Sports Complex - 1545 Pleasant Grove Blvd. - Roseville, CA 95745

Roseville, California, USA: When opportunity knocks...open the door! That's exactly what promoter Johnny Davis did when the opportunity came across his desk to promote an IKF Amateur World Title fight. Although its for an amateur title (Not to downplay the amateur division of course), its a step in the right direction for Davis who is passionate about growing the sport of Kickboxing.

In fact, at press time, Davis was delighted that IKF President Steve Fossum along with the IKF Title Board agreed to sanction the match-up between 2004 IKF/TKO FCR North American and IKF West Coast Super Middleweight Champion Mike Morello (Right) of Santa Barbara, California and 2002 IKF FCR North American Champion and "FOUR" time IKF National Champion Anthony McGaughey (Left, 2000, 2001, 2002 & 2003) of Norman Oklahoma.

The location for the event is the beautiful Roseville Sports Complex located at 1545 Pleasant Grove Blvd.

 "This will be a great fight" says Davis! Both men have proven that they are talented and deserving. Both men are hungry to become a world champion. Anthony's outstanding record of 26-1-1, with 16 wins by KO/TKO's, is evident that he has 'mad skills' and is able to handle himself well.

Although Morello's record is not as extensive (8-5-1/2), what he can be proud of is that he has done well under Full Contact Rules where he has made his mark. Although he won his IKF West Coast title under International Rules, his best style is Full Contact. He proved this to to his peers at the 2004 IKF/TKO North American Championship Tournament back in August. "His record is deceiving and his skill level is much better than the numbers."" Davis adds.

Both men have good boxing and kicking skills which will make for a well rounded bout. Davis' AK Promotions promotes all rule styles sanctioned by the IKF but Davis is especially looking forward to this bout which will be fought under Full Contact - American Kickboxing rules (All kicks above the waist). This one is special to Davis since he won both his World titles in this rule style. "I personally think this fight will be a good one for American Kickboxing." Any way, you put it, it will be a great night with an exciting under card of local fighters.

Of course, Davis (Right) is not waiting on the April 9th event as he will warm things up February 12th, 2005 with another exciting edition of IKF Triple F Kickboxing in Roseville. This event is part of a doubleheader starting with an IKF Point Kickboxing tournament earlier that same day. Davis continues, "I would also like to say thanks to the assistance in bringing this fight together from www.ExtrasOnCall.com a Digital Exposure Corporation." Look for more information to come on the February IKF doubleheader and the April IKF Amateur World Title Fight...or contact AK Promotions at (916) 780-7483 or by email johnnyd@akpromotions.org or go to www.akpromotions.org

IKF Triple "F" Smoker!
A Doubleheader That Gave Double Action!
By A.K. Promotion Press

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.

Ready for Double Action!
By AK Promotions Press

IKF ROSEVILLE, CA, USA: The countdown is on for the long awaited doubleheader Kickboxing event promoted by A.K. Promotions, a California based promotions company specializing in exciting Kickboxing entertainment! Saturday, October 9th, 2004 at 9:AM, the day will start bright and early with an action packed IKF Point Kickboxing© Tournament to be held at the Lord’s Gym, 702 Atlantic Street in Roseville, CA. That very same evening IKF Full Contact Kickboxing bouts will take place right down the street starting at 7:PM.

POINT KICKBOXING EVENT:
As the day nears, Kickboxing teams from across the state are anticipating the event. Phone calls are mounting with interest as several Kickboxing schools who have heard the buzz are now showing great interest and entering their teams. Men, women and Junior will fight for beautiful 4' trophies and the glory of the WIN! Manuel Viscarra (Right) of Aztec Kickboxing of Dixon, CA awards 4' first place trophy to one of the competitors at our last event.

This semi contact event where full protective gear and 16 oz. gloves are mandatory for adults and face gear mandatory for the juniors always seems to garner great action packed fights and gets a great reaction from the audience! Says one competitor about the events, “Once you try it, it becomes addictive and the four foot trophies makes the addiction worthwhile!”

Registration will start at 8:PM and elimination start at 10:AM. The all too important rules meeting for everyone will start at 9:30. Since there are no knockouts in IKF Point Kickboxing, newcomers are encouraged to be sure to make the rules meeting. There is little leniency on the rules and judges are not shy to disqualify for too much contact. Instructor Dale Sussdorf (Right) of Woodland, CA watches closely for points in a junior match.

Teams will need to arrive early to assure their spot in the ring that morning. Things will move fast as preparation for the evening event will be in progress on another front.

IKF NIGHT TIME KICKBOXING EVENT
If all goes well, the morning event will roll into the weigh-ins around 3:PM at 600 Commerce Drive (Marinoble’s Kickboxing Arena) The over 5000 square feet facility with ring at center will set off great ambiance for hundreds of fans and the fighters! With great music bouncing off the walls complete with strobe lights and fog and delicious snacks and drinks set up yet another exciting evening for IKF Triple “F” Kickboxing!

Doors will open at 6:PM, while the event kicks off around 7:PM with a presentation of America the Beautiful performed by Helen Davis. Trainers have assured the promoter that their fighters are ready and coming to win and win big because this special IKF Smoker will give each competitor fight credit. Plus, the winners receives beautiful trophies while the fighters on the losing end will receive nice medals!

In both events all participants will walk away with an award because there is nothing like showing up and walking the Walk! There will be an assortment of weight classes competing on this evening of Triple “F” Kickboxing from Atomweight to Heavyweight!
IKF Amateur IR - Heavyweight: Anthony Littlejohn, (230 lbs of Sacramento, CA) is eager to test his skills against Teddy Smothers (235 lbs. of Modesto, CA) in an International Rules bout.
IKF Amateur IR - Light Cruiserweight: Chris Gonzales (183 lbs. of Roseville, CA) is ready to prove he is ready to move forward in a great match-up against Jarred Edeal (180 lbs of Modesto, CA)
IKF Amateur IR - Light Heavyweight: Betram Bunch (173 lbs. of Santa Barbara, CA) will do battle with Kenyon Atkins (170 lbs. of Modesto, CA)

Germane showed a lot of heart and continued to fight vigorously with nice jump kicks and working his only punch, a solid left jab. Morello played it smart and took advantage of the inside fighting and edged the decision win. Both men are eager to prove who's really the best! This fight should be one of the best of the evening!

IKF Amateur IR - Middleweight: Middleweights seem to always have a lot of great action and its expected to be no different as Jason Olivera (164 lbs. of Santa Barbara, CA) takes on Noel Rodriquez (165 lbs of Modesto, CA) They will square off in an International rules bout that will include leg kicks.
IKF Amateur - Middleweight: Victor Rodriquez (162 lbs. out of Modesto, CA) will try and best tough Jose Ricardo (160 lbs San Francisco, CA.)
IKF Amateur MTR - Super Middleweight: Chris Cope (189 lbs. of Santa Barbara, CA) will take on the talented Sam Spengler (188 lbs. of San Jose, CA) in a Cruiserweights bout. A special feature bout of Muay Thai that will include leg kicks and knees to the body where both trainers are hoping for a win as they seem very confident in their fighters ability.

IKF Amateur - Light Welterweight: This bout will feature Peter Chanthavongsak (140 lbs. of Fresno, CA) Vs Frano Guyton (142 lbs. of Modesto, CA) and it may be one of the surprise bouts of the evening!
IKF Amateur - JUNIOR BOYS: The next bout will be more like an atom bomb going off when Atomweights Anthony Niboli (115 lbs. 0-0- Fresno, CA) takes on Larry Kloak, (117 lbs. 0-0, of Modesto, CA). These little guys plan to leave it all in the ring as they show why big things come in little packages! Both junior fighters are making their debut and both of them want to start their career with a big win!

As you can see, this will be an exciting day of showcase for kickboxers from many different rule styles and from gyms across the state of California.

 A. K. Promotions to Host

Doubleheader Kickboxing Event

We are proud to announce our first doubleheader event on Oct. 9th, 2004 in Roseville, CA.  This event will consist of an IKF Point Kickboxing  (PKB) tournament in the morning starting at 9:AM till about 2:PM at the home of our PKB events Lord's Gym located at 702 Atlantic Street in Roseville, CA.  After the PKB, we will roll right into the night time event with weighins starting around 3:PM and fights starting at 7:PM..  

Those that have seen the PKB tournaments know that they're big fun for the participants and the spectators.  Normally, over 25 bouts take place at these events.  However, we are looking for an even bigger turnout because several of the gyms participating in the night event are committing some of their fighters for the day event.  This should give the morning tournament that much more exciting competition!  Those that win first place will receive a four foot trophy, while everyone that enters the tournament will receive trophies and medals.  The tournament is open to all  but will only have two styles American (above waist kicks) and International Rules (low kick) Kickboxing.  If you're interested in participating in the PKB pre-register now at www.akpromotions.org/PKB.htm .  Tickets for spectator will be $5 at the door.

The night time event will "Kick" off with an exciting card of area fighters that we're currently matching. The fights will be held at the 5000 sq. ft. Marinoble's Kickboxing facility at 600 Commerce Drive also in Roseville, CA.  The gym seats about 400 spectators with kickboxing ring taking center stage.  Plus, hot DJ music, lights, fog and great food will make this a night to remember! Mark your calendars now!

Trainers like Gene Fields of Modesto, CA, Mike Morello of Santa Barbara, CA, Rubi Navarro of San Francisco, CA, George Tsutsui of Concord, CA, John Cho of Fresno, CA, Nasser Niavarroni of Roseville, CA, Jennifer Phillips Tae Kwon Do of Sacramento, Manuel Viscarra of Dixon's Aztec Kickboxing and Billy Olsen of Fresno, CA have committed their fighters for this event with more to come, there should be some great fireworks that evening!  A list of matches will be posted on this site in a week or so. Tickets for the night time event will be $20 in advance for adults - $12 for kids 12 and under...add $5 at the door.

The IKF Triple "F" Kickboxing Smoker will be one of the most exciting nights for kickboxing fans.  The "F" in Triple "F" is short for the Feet and Fists of Fury events we have promoted in the past.  Just as events like K-1 and movies like Triple XXX have had successes with short titles, we are hoping for the same.

Some might ask, why are we calling this event a Smoker?  Well, the only difference in this event is that it will not be under the state commission. The commission has clauses for gyms to host such events in their handbook.   However, it will be sanctioned and overseen by the IKF which have stringent stipulation for safety etc.  All participants must wear full mandatory protective gear including 16 oz. gloves and headgear.  They would normally wear 10 oz. gloves in a commissioned event.  The matches are closely monitored by the IKF rep and the mandatory physician in attendance.   All participants' information will be kept in the IKF records and rankings.

Doubleheader events are nothing new. For example, the east coast have been doing doubleheader events for decades.  One of the biggest was the Battle of Atlanta.  An event hosted by Mr. Joe Corely.  This enormous event would have a Point Karate tournament in the day that literally had thousands of participants and would roll into the night with some of the best Kickboxing fights in the world.  Although the Kickboxing part of the event diminished after many years of being highlights of the event, its now making a huge return.   

We hope to see you Oct. 9th!  For more information see the events page or IKF Smoker page on this site.  For tickets call (916)780-7483 or pay at the door or with credit card at www.highsierratickets.com . Also see www.IKFKickboxing.com for more info.

IKF Point Kickboxing©

Results

( More exciting pictures from the event coming soon)

The showdown was on this past Saturday at Roseville, CA Lord's Gym a nice community outreach facility and now host to IKF Point Kickboxing events.  Over 30 fighters in assortedd sizes and genders showed up to Bring It On for the IKF Point Kickboxing tournament this weekend.  The great thing about this tournament is that they had plenty of fans in tow.  This made for some huge and exciting fights as each team cheered on their fighter (s).  Fans got a chance to witness over 30 rounds of fights including over-time bouts for only $5...what a deal! 

( Top left: Matteo"machine Gun" Contartese of Rocklin lands a cross demonstrating why he was one of the most exciting fighters of the day!)

As usual there were some heated battles for the beautiful 4' trophies.  Some bouts even overheatedas there was one disqualification for too much contact.  Don't get me wrong, this is not just a  "pity pat" event. Yes, there is some real contact  involved in Point Kickboxing, just as it is in Point Karate tournaments.  However,  the contact is well controlled and well-officiated to keep it within the rules.  Occasionally, you will see a bloody nose or black eye.  However, we are proud to say that after two years there have been no  knockouts in our events and we plan to keep it that way. 

 (Top Right: Matteo Contartese cleaned out the division to take home the 1st place 4' trophy...almost equal to his height.)

I will say this again, if you have not tried IKF Point Kickboxing...you should!  I think you will be surprised at the experience.

We would like to invite you to our next Doubleheader Kickboxing event Oct. 9th, 2004 in Roseville, CA.  We will have a IKF Point Kickboxing tournament in the day and later that evening there will be a Full Contact Kickboxing Smoker featuring assorted styles and fighters from across the state.  Its a full day of Kickboxing entertainment for all!  Here's an idea, since you will be in town for one of the events, why not bring fighters for the other event?  More info. at www.akpromotions.org/Events.htm. 

Special Note:  Thanks to all of the fighters, coaches, spectators, fans and volunteers that made this event successful.

Walk-A-Bout© Continues to Impress 

Those Who Try It!

By Johnny Davis

Each time I perform my Walk-A-Bout Seminar it never ceases to amaze me of people's reaction to this new fitness craze.  Several women showed up this morning to participate and went away with big smiles and feeling invigorated!

Here are a few of their comments afterwards:

• "The WB is a full body workout that anyone can do!  I loved every minute of it!" CB

• "Wonderful workout!  I run a lot and was surprised at how challenging it was. I'll do it again!  I had a lot of fun!"  LG

• "A wonderful full body workout! Loved it!" KP

• Really good workout! I needed an upper body workout to add...felt great! Boxing is Cool! EP

• Hated being the last person...but was a great workout! You're great! CM

I would like to thank all who participated in this exciting program at the Slender Lady Fitness Club of Rocklin.  We are looking to do a walk a month.  So, if you're interested in participating give Slender Lady a call at (916)786-5239 for the date of the next event.

For seminars contact me at (916)780-7483.
