IKF Championship Kickboxing Fights...
A Grand Affair Set for Sacramento's Historic Event!
The Doubletree Hotel will Rock!
The countdown is on for what to be one of Sacramento, CA’s largest kickboxing events in years! The stage is set to bring new light to a sport not so in the spotlight but still standing strong and ready to show its greatness!
AK Promotions of Rocklin, CA and partner- Tommy T's Comedy and Dinner Theatre of Rancho Cordova, CA have plans to light a fire to ignite a new wave of kickboxing entertainment in the Sac. Area. This is the third show in the past six months and both prior shows have been overall very successful with action- packed bouts, a sellout show on the first one and a respectable crowd at the second show in a larger venue. Fans left wanting more and now they will get their chance to taste it once again...but this time with a bit more flare!
The Doubletree Hotel of Sacramento, CA is once again opening its doors to AK Promotions- Fri. Feb. 12th at 7:PM. They
were impressed enough with the last show back on Nov. 22nd '09 to give the promotion company its beautiful Grand Ballroom this time around which is adorned with enough chandelier to impress a prince!
On fight night, the Grand Ballroom will be filled with chairs and a kickboxing ring at center mass. Lighting and Sound Producer Mr. Dennis Smith will have the ring aglow with proper lighting that will illuminate the room with a Vegas fight night ambiance. Plus, the film crew on hand will give the feel of a grand affair! Music will be blasting with the hottest sounds that will circulate and delight the ears of fight fans as they enjoy alcoholic beverages and snacks served by experienced waitresses from Tommy T's Comedy and Dinner Theatre from bars set up inside the Ballroom.
Next, Ring Announcer (L) Wayne Wilson of Elk Grove, CA will take center stage introducing the officials and the performer of the National Anthem who is recording artist (R) Aaron Young (AKA- AY) Young currently has songs playing on several local radio stations. He is the latest winner in a Craigslist National Anthem singing contest that AK Promotions does to find the best performer for its shows. As always, the talent was awesome- the final three had to audition twice but in the end, ‘AY’ pulled if off with his control and powerful singing talent.
With so much going on around the world today, like the horrific earthquake in Haiti, fight fans here in America will be reminded of how great this country is as we continue to assist those in great need across the ocean. Rest assured that Aaron’s rendition of the National Anthem will set the stage for our humility as world citizens as well as the great sports entertainment to come that evening.
As fighters take their position on stage, spotlights will beam them and music will blast as fog fills the air!
Ring girls will lead the way and no doubt get their share of attention as well. Soon both fighters will enter the ring on separate planks preparing to do battle in serious feet and fists of fury!
Over 15 bouts of Muay Thai / Kickboxing including men, women and a special IKF Junior title fight
will be one of the main events of the evening. Perhaps, two of the smallest in the ring, may in fact have the biggest impact on the entire event. When 12 year old and two time (L) IKF World Classic Champion Katrina “The Storm” Nahe of Antioch, CA battles (R) 14 year old Aneka Otte of Scottsdale, AZ, the roof may explode due to the noise fight fans will make for this much anticipated fight! The adult fighters that evening will really need to push to out-do this fight as each camp is predicting large turnouts of cheering fans with all the bells, whistles and signs needed to make this fight a real super fight!
Trainers of these two young ladies made it clear- (Mr. Dennis Guila for Nahe and Mr. Bob Karmel for Otte) that they are training hard and plan to take full advantage of this historic IKF title fight. It’s going to be a war!
Now, saying all that, it may seem as though Nahe Vs Otte is the main event, not so. Actually, there
is a smoking semi- main event and a potential title exchange in the main event if it goes in trainer Dan Blacks’ of Concord, CA direction. Black feels that his fighter (R) Tyler Cronin (8-2) replacing Rick Erlec Due to personal issue, Erlic had to pull out of the fight this week) can take out the defending IKF West Champion… the very crafty (L) T. J. Arcangle’s of San Francisco, CA. However, long-time veteran trainer of world champions in Kickboxing and Mixed Martial Arts, Kru Sam P. who is always quiet and confident doesn’t feel this is possible. Kru Sam believes T. J. is also destined to become a world champion…we will just have to see!
Jon Pryor of Sacramento, CA who is talented with flashy boxing and kicking combinations, will get another shot for an IKF title as he takes on champion
Bryan Padilla who is trained by former champion Rudi Ott of Milpitas, CA. 
Pryor fell a little short in his last outing for a title. However, in the words of Cedric Robinson, trainer of Pryor and owner of Sacramento based Robinson’s Tae Kwon Do Clubs,“ If Jon does what he is suppose to, the title stays in Sac-town!” Sounds like fighting words!
Media - Start the Presses! Fighters - Call Your People! Fight Fans - Make your reservations – Now! This will be the show of shows and one you will not want to miss! We hope to see you there…prepared to witness this grand affair and see why Kickboxing’s light will shine brightly again while proving why it is truly one of the greatest contact sports in the world! Forward March! See Entire Fight Card Below.
