Another win for Jamie!

Congrats to Sempai Jamie. Jamie has been supplementing his Kyokushin training with kickboxing and had his third kickboxing fight last Saturday at an event hosted at the Redden Fight Gym in Porirua.

It’s not a huge venue so supporters from Mt Vic and Jamie’s family & friends made a big dent in the crowd… okay, of that group I think only his Mum hasn’t actually trained with us… yet!

It turned out, despite it being only his third fight, that Jamie was one of the two main events of the night! And he didn’t disappoint us or the promoter! If it was Kyokushin rules it would have been a win by ippon in the first round but a slow 8 count provides for fighters to recover (and get out of the foetal position) to carry on fighting! But that was great because it gave Jamie time to prove he doesn’t only have an earth shattering middle kick, he can box too!

The fight was three 2 min rounds. I think there were 3 x 8 counts and the fight was halted in the third when his opponent could no longer continue. Nice job!
