Kick Jutsu Grading...fantastic results

Sunday 29th July and the BFKKO saw the return of the Falcon Kick Jutsu gradings, the graders on the day were Martin Wheatley (one of the BFKKO senior instructors) , Molly Cooley and Scott Macdonald with Tom Shiels kindly volunteering to be grading partner for Martin, it was a fantastic grading with a very high standard, the grading started with 15 minutes fitness followed by grading syllabus work of stand up techniques to pads then throws locks takedowns and chokes. The belt's bieng taken were yellow and orange it was a tough two hour grading I am pleased to say that all passed with high marks, which is very good with the BFKKO's very high standards.


I would like to add that it is great to see a return of the kick jutsu gradings to the club and although the grading was small in numbers it is keeping the style within the organisation, hopefully we will have more people especially with the popularity of the MMA styles as I feel this is the grass roots traditional part of the MMA system. Well done to all graders.

Another step in the Muay Thai direction

The 18th July saw another huge step for the BFKKO and especially Falcon Fight Academy when Kerry-Louise and Cris traveled down to train with the "man" of Muay thai in GB, Mr Tony Myers.

The session was an intense 1 to 1 over nearly three hours and Tony took Kerry-Kerry Louise through her paces whilst he continuously broke away to explain fine detail in not only technique but scoring techniques and the rules.

Both Kerry-Louise and Cris benefited so much from this session and left confirming a Muay Thai judging course which will be run by Tony later this year up at the Sheffield HQ. (Places will be limited so if you want in then email crisjansonpiers@googlemail.com NOW!!!

Much respect to Tony for his valuable time, the man is a wealth of knowledge and it was a pleasure and privilege to be in his company!


We would like to see every BFKKO Official on this course!

Fahey in fantastic win

On Saturday 29^th June Ben Fahey from Satori Martial Arts/BFKKO travelled to Sheffield to fight on the ISKA sanctioned AFK super league show against Yousif Ibrahim of AFK Sheffield. The match was made at -60kg with 3 weeks notice due to a fighter pull out. The fight is one that both camps have wanted for a number of years after they met previously when Ben was 13 and Yousif 16, which ended in a draw.

Ben as always started the fight strong from the 1^st bell using well timed punches and low leg kicks as drilled by his coaches Jack Boas and Matt Spring. Ben used his clinch work well not giving the older Yousif chance to get back into the round.

The second round Ben again came out strong landing some big knees in the clinch although yousif was trying to catch the knee and sweep Ben, Ben avoided the sweeps infact putting yousif down with his own sweeping.

The 3^rd and final round started with Yousif coming out very strong, as he had lost the previous 2 rounds looking for the KO. This plan though didn’t go his way as yet again Ben showed some superior block/counter combinations  putting his opponent quickly on the back foot. Ben controlled the ring and the fight throughout all 3 rounds.

Satori’s  Dean Robinson stated that "This was one of Ben’s best performances with a good mix of ring craft, skill and excellent sportsmanship shown from both camps". 

Ben would like to thank Dean, Jack Boas, Matt Spring and Lee Swaby for the intense training programme. Ben’s next fight will be at the WOMMA World games in August and then in September on Satori’s show on the 29^th September in Lincoln.

Kerry-Louise Has her own brand new Web Site!


Just being built is this hugely informative Web site on this unassuming 8 times Professional World Champion K1 Rules and Full Contact fighter.


Read about her ideas of now going into Muay Thai fighting and all the training she is going to have to go through to make her first fight one she can at least offer her best challenge in! From the fight to learning in full about how the judges will see the fight. Many changes will have to be made to her fighting but with the wealth of knowledge already offered this should be made much easier. Master Cris Janson-Piers is also going into deep study so he too can guide his fighter of which he has coached since she started at 7 years old!
