Performed Wai Kru at ASBA Gala Night

Kinabalu Fighters was invited to perform and represent the art of self-defense at ASBA (Art, Style & Beauty Activist Association) Glitters & Glamorous Gala Nite 2012 at Shangrila's Tangjung Aru Resort.

 Offered a booth as well to demo our specialties =)

Datuk Hjh. Azizah, The Minister of Consumer Welfare and Community Development, graced the even. Even herself tried out punches with Coach Julian (in top photo grid). Other guests tried out as well (as shown in bottom grid in the above photo).

 There were also other booths as well:

 I went to perform Wai Kru for our performance slot, while my other coach, Randall, and Daniel (long time KF member & fighter) performed Muay Boran.


My outfit:
Hehe kap.

FairTex MuayThai pants. A generous gift from my partners - Coach Julian and wife, Ms.Fara. Love it to the max!!

Awesome KF Team. Can't I just change my signature pose? Boring me =P
 It was a great experience and we got positive feedback from the crowd. Most important thing is we enjoyed it.

So, besides coming to the gym to try out our free class, you can give us a holler if you intent to have us to perform Wai Kru and Muay Boran in relation to events.

Oh and..... *kof kof kof *

Ladies Self Defense & MMA Seminar by Coach Antonio Battistessa

Hola fit and sexy readers! KinabaluFighters gonna held a LADIES SELF-DEFENSE Seminar.

Do spread this news around especially those free on 4th & 5th August. Your girlfriends, mother, grandma, sisters, relatives, wife (wives, kof*), ex (yea if you're still cool with them), you yourself perhaps and any ladies you cared for.

Below is a long overdue post, as I had my first MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) seminar with Coach Antonio from Italy.
Using boxing gloves to "throw" at your partner. What's this for?
 In this seminar, I learn alot of practical things about MMA especially when it comes to real self-defense situations.

It actually makes you realize how accurate and strength you put in your punches.
The take down.


In white rash guard is Azrin, the assistant of the day.

 Antonio taught ways on how to take down on a bigger guy, even with this petite frame and lower strength.

Ground and pound




Serious stuff.
I have to admit it was awkward at first when I did my first ground training with AJ Pyro and BorneoTribalSquad during an MMA training earlier this year.

Then, I became fascinated after trying out CrazyMonkeyDefense and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu at Studio23 by Albert and Reuben.

Yep, alot of body contacts. But I'm glad our gym is clean everyone trains hard and seriously. Like, seriously.



Ladies, as for the seminar - fret not. I'll be there assisting Antonio as a demo "dummy" so even there's extra participant I can fill in the odd numbers as well =)
