KOF: MMA THAILAND

Not too long ago I received an e-mail that was all in Thai and now have the info in English thanks to a good friend. From what I can tell it's basically a battle of styles but I'd say one of the premiere MMA events in Bangkok. There have been a number of MMA exhibition matches along with Muay Thai but it hasn't developed as fast as you would think. For whatever reason, I hope to make it to this event to take pics. The fighters will be wearing pads and headgear. If you're in town, definitely check it out as I will have some teammates in there mixing it up. -Luke

2008 JAVA SUBMISSION CHAMPIONSHIP

The Indonesian Grappling Federation is extending a cordial invitation to all martial artists to the JAVA SUBMISSION CHAMPIONSHIP 2008 sponsored by DJARUM SUPER on July 26 at the Kridosono Sports Hall in Jogjakarta, Indonesia.

The Championship will be a great opportunity for all students of the grappling arts in South-East Asia to come together to compete and exchange techniques in a friendly and competitive environment. All styles of martial art are welcome to join this competition. The competition rules have been designed to encourage fast action and submissions. But also do not favor one style over another as points are awarded for positions and techniques from all of the aforementioned martial arts.

Submission Grappling is the fastest growing martial art in the world and our mission is to promote and socialize submission grappling in Indonesia. The sport is highly competitive with the athlete demonstrating his techniques, abilities, and physical and psychological condition, with the objective of rendering his opponent into submission without the use of punching, kicking or any form of striking action. Valid moves are those which take an opponent to the ground, and neutralize, immobilize, and strangle him, or apply pressure on the large twisting joints.

Ethical behavior is what gives this sport credibility and security, which are indispensable factors in any sport. Through high standards of behavior, the sport has reached spectacular heights elsewhere in the world. Therefore, because Submission Grappling will one day soon become part of the greatest sporting show on earth, the Olympics, we need to promote Submission Grappling now as a sport in Indonesia.

With these thoughts in mind, we hope that you will come and support the JAVA SUBMISSION CHAMPIONSHIP 2008 sponsored by DJARUM SUPER on July 26 at the Kridosono Sports Hall in Jogjakarta, Indonesia. The fee is Rp.100,000 per competitor and free of charge for spectators.

If you have any questions please contact IGF at nikohan@gmail.com, or +62.856.1808804.

THE MISSION IS SUBMISSION!

Sincerely,

INDONESIAN GRAPPLING FEDERATION

I thought we were overdue for a calendar update and wanted everyone to know a group of us here in Bangkok are organizing a bjj/grappling tournament for this coming September 27-28, 2008. While this is apart from the SEA Grappling Games, we are working together with everyone in the area to ensure it is a unified event towards the interest of the competitors. We are presently working on sponsorship and establishing the rules of the event. For the sake of having a title, I've called it the Thailand BJJ/Grappling Open but this can change. More info to come!

In case I have made a mistake on the calendar, please let me know so that I can make the correct changes.

9TH ALL JAPAN BJJ CHAMPIONSHIPS

I thought I'd hilite this event since it's one of the largest comps held in Japan. I have yet to visit or partake in any BJJFJ event but hope to in the near future. Once I get my membership card that is.

I will be at at the Copa De Hong Kong tournament, taking place on the same weekend, April 26-27. This comp also promises to pull in a strong crew of competitors as I'm sure it's a much easier trip to make than Japan. Hope to see you guys there.Fore more info on either tournament, please click:
