The first of these is "6 weeks to better stand up fighting" which is the perfect program for the MMA athlete who desires a quick improvement to their stand up skills and/or for those who want to try out San Shou/San Da for the first time on a trial basis. "6 weeks to better stand up fighting" is an introductory course in San Shou/San Da as it skills directly relate to the MMA arena. Participants will learn both how to strike an opponent attempting to take them down and how to use striking to set up their own takedowns. They will learn San Shou/San Da's unique takedowns and kick catches, with awareness of how these techniques will create smooth transitions to ground fighting for the MMA arena. In addition, the staff of NYKK Gym is now available to design specific short term preparation for both professional and amateur MMA athletes. If you'd like to sharpen your stand up skills before a major event, we'll design the appropriate program. You will have an opportunity to train with members of NYKK Gym's championship team, the #1 San Shou/San Da team in the country.

IKF Feb 28, 2003, San Jose ,California, USA: IKF West Coast Muay Thai Champion Maurice Hooks (Right, Modesto, California, USA, 8-1, trained by Gene Fields) won a unanimous decision over former 2 Time IKF National Champion (2000 and 2001) Derek Yuen (15-3-1) in three grueling rounds of Muay Thai. The two were toe to toe through out with no let up with the decision going to Hooks who kept the pressure on.
The fans were totality excited while on the same show IKF Pro "Full Contact Rules" Middleweight World Champion Dave Marinoble (Right - Roseville, CA, USA, 17-1-2 with 8 wins by KO/TKO) faced off for a rematch with IKF Pro "San Shou" Middleweight World Champion Rudy Ott (Left - San Jose, CA, USA, 20-3 with 5 wins by KO/TKO) of their August 31st event in Redding California, USA. In Redding, Ott won the IKF Pro San Shou Middleweight World Title by unanimous decision, 49-46, 48-47 and 48-47. This time, Marinoble revenged his loss in this Pro San Shou bout. Marinoble changed his game plan focusing more on scoring with kicks and punches instead of throws. Stamina which seemed to be what Marinoble was lacking before proved to be a key factor in this bout. Ott was overwhelmed by the different approach Marinoble took which came from several factors. Keeping the pressure on through the entire 5 rounds, using more balance, control and not getting thrown made the difference in the end. This bout was fought with sheer blood, guts and determination of both fighters who both continued to again be Champions both in and out of the ring! In the end, Marinoble prevailed with a unanimous decision. With a win each now, do we hear the cry for a "Rematch" and the title on the line this time? Who knows, but regardless, these two are TRUE IKF CHAMPIONS! Here are the other results of this event below;
