Caged Steel Amatuer (No headshots) interclub

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a small interclub event to be held in our gym for over 16's, the fights will held in a 20ft cage. It is intended for novices wanting to try their hand at competition before going onto established events. It will be jointly run by Caged Steel and Fulinkazan. The show is presented by Caged Steel and is called "Sprawl n Brawl" "Rookies"

It is no headshots amatuer mma for anyone who has not competed before at mma or at the most have had 1 amatuer fight before. Whether you agree or disagree with no-headshots rules there is a demand for it.

We have interest in this already from local gyms but we decided to open it up to anyone else interested. There is a cut off point for the amount of fighters per weight bracket, first come first served.

The finalist from 2 of the weight brackets (To be chosen on the day) will be invited to fight on Mappuk's "The Champions" MMA event in Bradford 3 weeks later for the amatuer title. We hope to make this a regular thing, depending on success / demand.

VENUE: Caged Steel gym - Dewsbury

DATE: Sunday July 27th

TIME: Weigh-in 12pm First fight 1pm

COST: £10 upfront or £15 on the day, spectators £5

sounds like a great idea.
i think no headshot rules are an important introduction for a lot of fighters and builds up experience and confidence.
hope it goes well

[mooron]

I really hope this takes off for you!!!!!!!!
I'd be tempted to have a go but i'm at the british touring cars all weekend in cheshire.

Really hope you get to do this on a regular basis. look forward to maybe having a blast.

[shin splints]

great idea. although its not to everyones taste, i think no head shots comps are a good thing. before finding out my knees are totally knackered i was going to have a go at grapple and strike this sunday.

caged steel adding to the no head shots events such as g and s is expanding entry level mma/grappling for people not ready to jump into the head shot game. it may not be mma but its all good as far as im concerned.

good luck with it.

[caged steel]

Thanks guys for those kind comments. No headshots is not for everyone or even not even mma but it is a format to work in for beginners to at least get the feel of competition and get a taste of competing in a cage.

maybe some of these guys will go on to be great mma fighters of the future.

Anyone else interested please email for imformation

Thanks

the bit about 1 or less amateur fights, I've done one heat at G&S which was 2 fights and one other amateur rules fight would I not be eligible? Would definitely be interested if I am able to enter.

[Jay]

i wouldn't have thought so mate, considering that's 3 fights you've got there. not being funny or owt like, but it strikes me as obvious...

I've lost 2 of them though! just wondered so wanted to check I'm sure some of the others from my gym would want to compete as well.

[Jay Evans]

For me the bit that strikes out is that theres a potential title shot ...... great way to start off on a high!

[spenna]

I will speak to neil but as Jay said it is a rookies comp (no more than 1 fight)

[falcon77kg]

are caged steel gunna be looking to do more amatuer events where the slightly more experianced fighters can come and play? the event sounds great but ive had more than the one fight at amatuer

[Gareth]

I will speak to neil but as Jay said it is a rookies comp (no more than 1 fight)
No worries, if you do another amatuer comp for people with more than one fight I'll definitely be up for it.

[ringmedic]

I've never fought MMA and I think something like this is ideal for people like me. I hope it goes well and I would like to see more events like this for the newbies.

MMA should be available to all, not just the die hard MMA junkies. It is a sport after all and should be open to those who don't want to get their faces mashed up. A lot of people have respectable jobs and wouldn't be able to compete otherwise because bruising and injuries would interfere with their work.

I wish you all the best and will hopefully see you in the future for an event.

[caged steel]

This is getting closer guys, any more interest?

[Lou]

I would definitely be interested at any future events like this but feel I'm a bit too new to try now! Are there many women take part or would I be up against men (I train with men only so doesn't bother me) but would be nice to meet up and have a try with other ladies :D

[simon-g]

interested but, cant make it down on the day :(

[caged steel]

Lou we would love more ladies to show an interest in our interclub event.

The problem usually is that if you get several ladies interested there is usually a weight difference which puts them off.

I will speak with the members of the CS team and see what we can organise for female competitors

Thanks for the interest Lou and please keep checking our progress with the event, we would like to encourage female mma

[Lou]

Excellent ,will do. I'm about 65kg at the moment but planning on getting down to 60kg. Have had the same issues in kickboxing tournaments before now too. Will keep an eye out!
