Southeast Knockdown Training

 

On Saturday December 5, WYKKO of Oxford hosted the last Southeast Knockdown training of 2015. We had fighters from Yoshukai, Shidokan, Mushindo, and Deans Martial Arts. 

 

 

 

 

Fighters came from Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Pennsylvania. This was a great day of knockdown training and fellowship between several different styles. Ego's were left at the door and everyone had a great attitude and work ethic throughout the entire 3 hours training session.

 

 

 

Kelly Leo from Shidokan North, GA led the first hour of training focusing on using angles and cut kicks. I want to express my gratitude to Mr. Leo for taking a day out of his busy schedule to come and work with us. The 2nd hour focused on pad work specific to knockdown karate competition. 

 

 

 

The final hour consisted of 13 x 2 minute sparring rounds. Everyone enjoyed the training and we are looking forward to holding 4 of these workouts in different locations throughout 2016.

RIng Wars 2015

On Saturday, March 7^th, 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!
