On
Saturday, March 7th,
several students travelled to Oakwood, Georgia to support Josh
McCullars, Matt Mangham, Shenandoah McInnish & Garret McInnish
fight in Kelly Leo’s Ring Wars.
There were some great fights with awesome competitors. Yoshukai Karate was very well represented.
First
up was Mr. McCullars in the light weight division. His original
competitor was unable to participate as was Garrett McInnish’s
competitor. Mr. McCullars and Garrett fought.
Mr. McCullars won but
he was able to use the fight as a training session for Garrett. Mr.
McCullars truly exhibited Yoshukai spirit during this fight. The
fight went the regulation 3 rounds.
The
next fight was Mr. Mangham and Eric Armstrong in the middle weight
division. This was a very short fight lasting approximately 20
seconds. Mr. Mangham won his fight with several shin kicks, a round
kick to the head and the final blow was punch to the lower ribs. Mr.
Armstrong was unable to continue.
The last fight was Mr. McInnish in the
heavy weight division. This fight was won in the second round by a
body TKO. This was a hard fight with lots of very hard techniques.
Mr. McInnish was declared winner in the final round.
Great job Gentlemen!
