Interclub Challenge - Sat 4 June
Through my contacts and positive dealings with other Kickboxing and Muay Thai Instructors, the Monash University Kickboxing Club has been invited to compete at the Interclub Challenges, which are regularly held in West Sunshine (every 6 to 7 weeks).
The Interclub Challenge is a friendly amateur competition geared towards Kickboxing and Muay Thai clubs. Competitors are entered by their Instructors and matched according to gender, weight and experience. Competitors can fight under Boxing, Kickboxing, K1 or Muay Thai rules (full Thai rules - elbows and knees allowed).
All rules are fought Semi-Contact (only light contact to the head allowed), and full protective gear is to be worn - mouthguard, 16 oz. gloves, shin pads, groin guard (for males), and elbow and knee pads where applicable.
Being an amateur competition, the fights last for two one-and-a-half minute rounds with a 30-second break. There will be a referee to control the contact and flow of the fight, and judges who will determine a winner and runner-up, but all competitors will walk away with a trophy for their efforts.
Depending on the range of competitors entered in the competition, you could have more than 1 fight on the day, which will give you extra experience in the ring.
The next Interclub Challenge will be held on Saturday 4 June at the West Sunshine Community Centre, Kermeen St, West Sunshine. Competitors are to register at 12:30pm, with the first fight scheduled for 1pm.
Keeping in line with our policy where competitors must first attend a competition as a spectators as an essential part of their research and preparation for an event, none of our Members will be competing at the next Interclub Challenge on 4 June. However, if you are interested in competing at the Interclubs this year, I highly recommend you come along to watch the Interclubs on 4 June so as not to delay your own entry into the competition.
Many of you have shown interest in competing in a Semi-Contact competition such as the Interclubs. This is positive and shows great enthusiasm. However, you will need to train regularly (and train hard) with the fighters and demonstrate not only physical ability, but also a certain level of maturity and psychological skill before you will be given the opportunity to compete.
