It was an excellent night for Young Lions Thaiboxing. We had 4 fighters, and all 4 won!! Josh fought Murphy Sutton from Axis Muay Thai and dropped him twice with standing 8 counts and won by unanimous points. Peter fought like a gentleman; he dominated his opponent in all areas, had opportunities to knock him out but didn’t want to hurt him, Peter won by unanimous points. Alex looked very smart in his fight against Adam Price from Sunrise gym. Alex worked well in the grapple and outpointed Adam and won by unanimous decision. Scott Bradley also fought very well, his fitness looked better this time round and his leg kicks worked well to beat his opponent also by unanimous points. Well done boys did Young Lions proud!

Grading July 12th 2011

Congratulations to everyone who passed their grading. It was a hard grading and you all pushed through it and came out on top. Well done guys! Next Grading is in December.

San Shou "Firestorm 5"

Five Young Lions fighters competed in this event, Peter P, Matt R, Scott B, Josh K and Alex K. Alex fought a lad from Willunga Kickboxing and beat him with ease using his strong grappling skills. Josh K fought hard too, looked good in the stand-up but being a san shou rules bout, his opponent gained some vital points via throws. Josh lost by split points but got fighter of the night award. Peter fought a lad from ISO Health next. The rules were changed on us at the last minute as the other club didn’t want knees, so it was pretty much a kickboxing fight. Peter’s opponent was a 6’8 tall guy. The height difference was clearly visible as both lads faced centre ring. Peter stuck to the game plan and it paid off winning by unanimous points. Matt fought well for his third fight, he keeps improving with every fight. Also kept to the game plan and won using his knees and clinch work. Scotty was up next against Luke Dumbrill, who is one of the assistant trainers at Alan Wong’s gym, we knew we were in for a hard fight. It was a good fight with both boys giving it their all. Scotty landed a few good leg sweeps and won by unanimous points. A good night for Young Lions Thaiboxing.

Knees of Fury 33 - 13th May 2011

Josh's fight hardly got under way againts Hayden Carr when both boys got into a grapple and both of them landed on the canvas. Josh’s arm was tangled up under Hayden’s body and when Josh tried to get back up he dislocated his shoulder. Matt fought well and kneed and grappled well to win his fight by stoppage. Jack did his best but was overwhelmed in his debut fight and lost. Jason rematched Guy Robbo and won easily by unanimous points.

Jason fights Main Event in Whyalla Shins of Steel 2nd April 2011

We took this fight on 10 day notice as the promoter needed a 76 kg fighter to fight Tom Arnold from Jo Ips gym with 5x2 Full Thai rules as the Main event. What a fight it was! Jason looked like a machine, he dropped Tom many times in the first round. Jason's face got cut by Tom's elbow in the third round so we had to be cautious not to let the cut open up more. So we went defensive in the last 2 rounds and kept using push kicks to score and keep Tom at bay. Jason won by unanimous points.

Knees of Fury - 26th February 2011

Josh S and Matt Routley both fought well at their first KOF event. Josh fought Hunse Mutsaers from Reality gym and dominated all 3 rounds and won by unanimous points.

Jason�s fitness was out of this world, he wasn�t even out of breath. Unfortunately the judges gave it a draw. In my eyes and everyone else�s that was there, including the head official, Jason should have won by unanimous point�s desicion.
