chefkicker Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 On Saturday Night at Skate Central Arena , Once again AFK Kickboxing based in Sheffield's city centre are once again celebrating a clean sweep of victories. Here are the results on who did what. Lewis Miles Berry aged 16 was the first one out for the local gym. After an even first round during which he landed a jumping scissor Kick, he found his range and launched a powerful Rear leg Roundhouse kick to his opponents head. His opponent failed to beat the count giving first blood to AFK Khalid Al-Johani won his ISKA K-1 Rules Title on decision scoring a knockdown in the last round. His opponent was unbelievably tough!!! Towards the final seconds of the round, Khalid landed one solid shin and TWO solid knees to his opponents head. The opponent was out on his feet but collapsed after the bell had sounded. AFK have found themselves yet another champion!!! 17 year old Nakash towered over his opponent being 6'3" tall. Nakash used his jab , push kick and his lead leg roundhouse kick to good effect. However he spoiled his performance in the last round by unnecessary showboating , allowing his opponent to hit him (hands down, follishness really LOL) The last fighter up was DR Andrew Carr , formerly of a different kickboxing gym but now fighting for AFK. Dr Carr stood toe to toe working behind his boxing to land low kicks. His opponent took everything and threw a few tidy roundhouse kicks to the head. Dr Carr won on decision making his fight record under AFK 2 Fights with 2 Wins!!! He formerly came to us with a Losing record. (Yes AFK CAN work Miracles ) Yousif Ibrahim showcased his skill over his heavier and but less experienced opponent. The whole show had an excellent atmosphere, Skate Central had good thinking to use tiered seating on the rink itself. Anybody SERIOUS about fighting in Kickboxing (wether K-1 style or Full Contact) , it is apparent that AFK is THE place to train! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chefkicker, I know you post a lot on here (Sheffield Forum), and I am not wishing to ask you to keep repeating yourself, but seeing as this thread is at the top of the list, why not quickly explain the differences between K-1 style and Kickboxing, for anyone thinking of taking up either sport. Also, of course, explain that you can go to your gym just to learn and keep fit, no pressure to fight. By the way, how did the lads from Bodyflo Gym do? (I think some were on the same bill?), the lad who teaches Thai boxing there used to lift weights at lunchtime in the gym I go to, nice lad, called Dan (from memory).

Cheers Hi Grappler, Yes you are right we have plenty non fighters in our gym , most people in AFK just train for fun and fitness. Many of them also do Gradings. AFK have a full comprehensive grading syllabus from White belt right up to Black belt. With regard to K-1 , K-1 is a rules system that started in Japan and is based purely around entertainment. K-1 rules bouts are generally 3x3 mins so you NEVER get 5x2 mins K-1 or 3x1.5 mins K-1 or worse still you NEVER get 4x2 mins or 7x2 mins under K-1 rules. Anyone putting on "K-1 fights" with 2 min rounds or with 4 or 7 rounds clearly does not understand K-1 rules. On special occasions you may have a 5x3 mins K-1 superfight. K-1 corporation have even sanctioned World Titles over 3x3 mins. As for difference between Kickboxing and K-1, Kickboxing is a martial art/combat sport. K-1 is a rules set that all standup fighting styles can fight under. There is NO such thing as a "K-1 club" or a "K-1 instructor" or a "Black Belt in K-1" (K-1 is not a martial art) A Muay thai fighter, a Kickboxer an MMA athlete , a Boxer, a Karate-ka etc may all fight each other under K-1 rules. When you fight K-1 rules you MUST engage with the opponent. Timewasting is NOT allowed. If you slow down or back peddle the referee will warn you and if you continue to be passive you will be penalised. Shin protection etc are NOT allowed. K-1 rules do not allow clinching but you can grab and Knee ONCE then you must let go. If you continue to hold you will be penalised. You cannot have a Draw in K-1. In case of a draw an extra round will be fought. Once you get to round 5 if there is still a draw, the referee must make a decision. Basic Rules of K-1 : Each fight is 3x3 mins All fighters wear Shorts and Boxing gloves (No shinpads) Fighters can kick to legs body and head using shins or feet. Fighters can punch to body and head and also use the spinning backfist (Spin backfist must connect with the GLOVE only) Fighters can Knee ONCE after a clinch then must release. They may knee to the head torso or legs. Elbows, Headbutts, groin strikes , clinching and throwing are all prohibited. I hope this clears things up?
