Mariah Chinchilla the older sister of Alexis, although feeling ill from just the night prior to this day of competition with flu like symptoms came to the tournament not to sit and watch but brought home  a 1st place in Kata Forms competition and 3rd place in Continuous Point Sparring in an outstanding performance against very game opponents.   Keep up the Great Determination and the Indomitable Spirit Mariah!

Kalae Carreira takes home 2nd in Kata Forms after being out for almost 1 year due to a broken femur (thigh bone) and is already back to a great start in 2008.  Awesome job Kalae!

Antioch, CA- October 28, 2007

This past Saturday, Oct. 27, 2007 IKF/PKB Promoter Dennis Guila of Antioch, CA hosted yet another successful IKF Point Kickboxing Tournament. An enthusiastic group of men, women and children came from across Northern California to participate in this growing semi contact action-packed event! Guila stated that “I’m pleased with the event and plan to continue to contribute to the growth of such an exciting sport and division!” Guila and his team set up an impressive padded floor ring where all of the fights took place. The action was hot as the packed house of spectators screamed to the top of their lungs for their favorite fighter…erupting often into an ocean of hands waving and chanting!

In the audience was IKF CEO Mr. Steve Fossum who came to support the event and speak to the fighters ” This is where it starts and you need to understand that its not about winning or losing its about showing up and walking the walk” he stated strongly. Mr. Fossum who is responsible for building the International Kickboxing Federation (IKF) that encompasses world wide Kickboxing, mixed martial arts (ISCF) and semi contact kickboxing events. “He has poured many years of hard work to grow the IKF and the benefits have been proven over the years as many IKF champions would later win and, or participate in prominent events like K1, the IFL and UFC” said promoter Guila about Fossum.

“This was certainly another exciting event and everyone seemed to have a good time” stated IKF West Coast PKB Representative Ms. Rubie Navarro who also had a group of impressive fighters on hand that gave notable showings in all of their bouts. IKF/PKB President Johnny Davis expressed to everyone the importance of following the rules as well as emphasizing the importance of knockouts not being allowed in this type of semi- contact competition. “Fighters and fans sometimes become anxious to see more contact and its up to the officials to make sure that contact is controlled no matter what. This must be a priority for the IKF/PKB Division as well as trainers to properly coach their fighters for this type of competition said Davis. He continued, this is a great competition and we look forward to starting our IKF Point Kickboxing Circuit in January 2008. We are currently looking at about one IKF Point Kickboxing event a month in 2008 somewhere in Northern, CA as it stands today. This point system will give fighters the opportunity to compete and win a certain amount points based on their performance and in the end of the year, the participants with the most points will receive awards and championship titles. Moreover, we have executed our new website www.IKFPKB.com to keep everyone up to date on IKF/PKB News, Circuit standings and more. I’m extremely excited about what IKF Point Kickboxing tournaments can do for the entire sport of kickboxing…the future is bright but only with the support of all of the fighters, trainers and fans that come out and make these events successful!”

Mrs. Guila who is the other/better half of the Guila Team said it eloquently, ” What the IKF has developed with the Point Kickboxing is becoming a trend. I mostly only heard positive comments about the event and the future of the IKF/PKB. Many of the old school martial artist are starting to recognize this event and want to get involved…its such a good thing!”

We at the IKF/PKB would like to thank Mr. Dennis Guila and his team as well as all of the trainers who stepped up to assist with the judging and referring . More on the IKF/PKB 2008 Circuit coming soon as well as the results from this past weekend’s excellent event.

In probably one of the best fights of the day Nick Chinchilla performed with championship like fashion but could not maintain the command and lead he had in the 1st round and some into the 2nd round resulting in a very close split decision to game fighter, Gilbert Vasquez of Texas. Hats off to Nick Chinchilla, a very exciting skillful “Must See Fighter of Guila’s Team G-Force.” Nick is a Team G-Force fighter you don’t want to miss in action. “Keep on Kickin Nick!”
