NAS State Titles 2006 - Results

Eli Yarrow represented the Monash University Kickboxing Club at the NAS State Championships on Sat 21 Oct at the Melbourne Sports & Aquatic Centre in the Male Novice Points and Continuous Sparring divisions.

While Eli didn't place in Continuous Sparring, he won through to 3rd place in Point Sparring with a large points difference between him and his opponent. Eli speed and footwork has improved a lot since previous tournaments, allowing him to score numerous 1-pointers, and even a 2-pointer with a high round kick. That's a great achievement for the Novice division, where most competitors play it safe and generally score with 1-point techniques.

Eli has qualified for the NAS National Championships, and I look forward to seeing him represent Victoria on the 9th and 10th December at the Melbourne Sports & Aquatic Centre.

Congratulations Eli!

This will be a fantastic opportunity for all Kickboxing Club Members to rally together to support Eli at the National Titles.
