Winner = Matty UPD.

all in all it was a good night of fighting... the beginners all fought very well... only a few hickups... one of which disappointed us greatly... Amy (mei hua) had to fight under kickboxing rules... the other party didn't think to mention this until we were in the ring... as Amy was considerably taller and heavier than her opponent, she didn't feel confident to fight under Mod Thai rules but only chose tell us that in the ring after Amy's finished her Wai Kru... the girl was gonna jump out of the ring if we didnt fight KB rules. all in all it was ****e for us, as we'd spent the last 3 weeks training Amy to grapple her way to a win. Amy got quite annoyed with all this and proceeded to pole-axe her under KB rules... we were very disappointed with this kind of thing but what can ya do huh.

Corey Vs Chickonoi was by far the fight of the night, with the two of them fighting to an incredible Thai rhythm which progressively got fired up into a full thai war. Chicknoi loving the elbows let them fly early by round 2 corey had a deep cup about an inch long above his right eye. i worked on it frantically in the break and got it to stop bleeding long enough to get half a tub of vas in there.Corey out-grappled Chicknoi landing hard knees and a couple of elbows of his own... it was a good war for Corey and certainly showed that he can keep cool and calm and go on to win a tough fight...

Matty Reid Vs Aaron Sityodtong was another war with some more great elbow action they were about even by mid way through the 2nd but then Matty stepped up the pace and landed more. Matty's fight was fuelled by the support of a dedicated local crowd that cheered him on to his win. Aaron felt the pressure of fighting at that higher weight and expressed to me afterwards that he'll avoid fight over 79kg as it takes too much of a toll. fair enough... Aaron is an exceptionally tough boy and held his end of the fight up right through to the last bell.

a great night all round and Tony is now totally keen to continue promoting shows in Country Vic...

Thanks to all who supported the show and to Tony for bringing us all up to fight.

Congratulations Mei Hua on your victory, and to the rest of the JTS crew.

Does anybody know if they will release a DVD/Video? And if so, how to obtain a copy?

[Mei Hua]

Cheers, MadMatt & soldier.
Did I meet you to at the fight?
It was really a great night. Sharon was supa tough, she just kept going and going! Very impressive for a 35 year old mother. The crowd were fantastic, it was great to see such an enthusiastic bunch with the small RSL venue bursting at the seams.
Congratulations to Corey (fight 7) who fought like a champion, and thanks again to Tony for supporting Muay Thai in Victoria. (Tony please apologise to your MC for getting blood on him, my nose was running like a tap)

[DazMon]

Yeah, who was that MC anyway? He certainly did a fair job! I don't think it was his first time doing that. Fight 3, I think the other guys name was Jake. I thought he was the fighter of the night actually, his style was impressive, very fluid.
I'm glad Amy went to town, Teron was meant to fight unfamiliar rules too but I changed that in time.

Oooooh Yeah!

[Bushi]

Sounds llike it was a great night from all reports.

Amy, I heard there was some "confusion" but good on you for the win.

Is there going to be a CD on this event !!

Would like to see it.






"Yours in Bushido"

[Mei Hua]

I do believe it was filmed, don't know were you could get it from.
Perhaps Tony will report on this.

I'll send you some picture's tomorrow Bushi.

Great night on saturday night! Thanks to all the gyms involved to get muay Thai happening again in the country areas. Just a couple of things, Sharon's fight was always organised as kickboxing from the get go. The weight was supposed to be around 64kgs, and Sharon was told her opponent had no experience in the ring, and Sharon is 41, not 35. I know how things can go wrong when so many people are involed, but thanks to Amy for putting on an excellent show. Two very tough women indeed. Good luck on the Sunshine coast.

[Mei Hua]

Yes that is strange, as I have always fought at 66-68kg and only train Muay Thai. Anyway I’m glad it went ahead.

And I guess at the end of the day........it gets dark.

my name is Ben Mountford (Angkor Im's Gym,not Ben Munford and I didn't end up fighting Brenton Hart due to an injurie sustained at work. Just thought I would clear that up. Was originally matched against him though.

[bdmoun]

Brenton Hart did fight though, just not against me
