IKF East Coast Muay Thai Kickboxing Classic…
"DON'T MISS YOUR OPPORTUNITY!"
Friday, October 10th, and Saturday, October 11th, 2014

OCTOBER 6th....
Is The LAST DAY To Register For The
2nd Annual
IKF East Coast Classic Amateur Muay Thai & Kickboxing Tournament!

For all you fighters who keep asking
"When is the Next Event?
Why can't I Fight for a Title?"
Well...
THIS IS YOUR MOMENT!

Origionally scheduled for October 10th, 11th and 12th in Dillon, South Carolina, the tournament will now only be two days! Registration and weigh-ins will take place on Friday, October 10th. Elimination and Championships will be on Saturday October 11th. After careful consideration of all the aspects of the event, AK Promotions President Johnny Davis (Right, The host of the event) noted,

"Last year we had about 15 fights a day and each day was done like an individual show with music and fighter walkouts. The fans loved it! However, we finished early each day and had a lot of down time. This year, fighters and fans can get back on road the same day or at least early Sunday morning and with school and job obligations, this can only be a good thing. It is our mission to give fighters a nice and safe platform to compete, while giving fight fans a great show. I feel this move will do both!"

Additionally though, if registration goes beyond expectations, we can always add another Ring to expedite the event.

Looking at the pace of registration, this year will be similar participation as last year, which will make an exciting event but can be done in two day as oppose to three. Fighters will register on Friday starting at noon and should be prepared to fight their elimination early on Saturday morning and their Championship bout on Saturday afternoon/evening.

Fighting twice on the first day and once or twice in some cases on the next day is actually the design of these tournaments but is normally only needed when the brackets have 5 or more people in them. Of course in larger tournaments like the IKF World Classic, competitors may fight up to three or possibly even 4 times through the event weekend before being crowned Champion. this of course can be an awesome task. As always, full safety gear and the upmost care will be available for fighters including Doctors and ALS Transport unit etc. However, if a doctor feels that one is not able to compete in a second bout, the appropriate decision will be made and the injured fighter will be pulled from the event.

Additionally, having the elimination and finals on the same day will also give a full day of travel time on Sunday. It will allow fight fans to know they are only giving up one day as oppose to giving up their entire weekend and not knowing what day their fighter will be up which could complicate travel plans. Moreover, dropping the 3rd day of the event will also help save some $$ on rooms nights needed at the hotel, additional food etc. It just seems like a win, win for everyone.

Johnny Davis (R) the 2 time World Kickboxing Champion and AK Promotions hosted the 2nd Annual IKF East Coast Classic at the Dillon Wellness Center in Dillon, South Carolina on October 11th, 2014.

Sanctioned by the International Kickboxing Federation (IKF), fighters from South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee, Massachusetts, New York, Florida, Canada and Trinidad/Tobago met during the one day tournament to compete in Novice and Open Divisions of Muay Thai and International Rules kickboxing.

Johnny Davis' vision of expanding interest in the southeast for kickboxing is becoming a reality where a better turnout over last year once again brought a large group of fighters making their in-ring debut as well as many fighters from last years' event returning to the tournament.
