Michael,

Not in IK, but a one-off high quality magazine style thingo.

A home guide for the fox and Main event PPV shows.
Basically an encyclopedia of the who's who in Australian Kickboxing.
Maybe a double page spread each on the top 50 Kickboxers we're likely to see on Fox and Main event. A posed shot on the left, and a fight pic on the right with text bio.

I think it would be cool to look up a fighter and check out his stats while watching a fox show. After 3 years of dedicated spectatoring, there are still heaps of names that ring a bell, but whose accomplishments are unknown to me. I'm sure there are many others like me who would benefit from such a publication.
I went and had the printing priced for an edition of 2000, but it's way out of my league for production costs. But I'd love to be involved in picture production.

Got the IK mag today. All I can say is about time. Some good reading material. Michael, if ur responsible for the new layout, well done. The first IK mag I have enjoyed in a while. Keep up the good work. Those WKA ratings don't really mean much though. Probably better without them.

Would it be possible to see a coloured poster fight pic maybe one of pauls shots blown up, like they do in Blitz its been a while since IK has had one <img src=icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle>

yeah,good stuff paul,right on the money.

cmon mick,try and get it going,i definately think it will sell

[remy]

Yeah, I would buy it. Could have rookies section/pro/am
Overseas/Australian
K-1 scene
K-1 max
Once a year release
It must be colour like those programs Tarik gave out at the Stan vs Ozkan fight.
It was nice to receive the high quality fight program for free. I didn't expect it. They usually sell for $15-20.

[Michael Schiavello]

Thanks Remy, yes, Im trying to give it a fresh look and heaps more info... glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for the suggestions too guys. Enjoy.

Michael,

Great issue of I.K.

The magazine layout is very good and it was great to see the inclusions of our posts in the Parr Vs Dawson article.

Keep up the good work.

regards,
Ax

Yeah I enjoyed it too. Good to see the the idea I posted about the womens super 8 also got a mention, love to see that one happen. I would also like more regular articles like the one on the strike force gym training methods.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
