THE B.A.K.A. WAS FOUNDED IN THE MID EIGHTIES, AND HAS FLOURISHED ON
A PURELY AMATEUR BASIS WITH REGULAR TOURNAMENTS EVERY YEAR,
PRODUCING MANY CHAMPIONS FROM LOCAL TO NATIONAL LEVEL.
THIS PROVED TO BE AN IDEAL TRAINING GROUND TO GAIN EXPERIENCE
AND A PERFECT SPRINGBOARD TO PROGRESS INTO PROFESSIONAL CONTESTS.
THE PARENT BODY TO THE B.A.K.A. IS THE INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATION OF
AMERICAN KICKBOXING WHICH IS THE HOST FOR TOURNAMENTS UNDER
INTERNATIONAL FLAGS, WHERE WE HAVE ALSO ENJOYED CONSIDERABLE SUCCESS.
THE ASSOCIATION IS CHAIRED BY LES ROBERTS 6TH DAN,
WITH 30 YEARS EXPERIENCE AND COACH TO MANY CHAMPIONS,
WHOSE FIRST PROMOTION WAS IN 1975, AND IS RUN BY A BOARD
OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM DIFFERENT REGIONS, MOST OF WHOM ARE
CURRENT OR FORMER CHAMPIONS RANGING FROM REGIONAL TO WORLD TITLE LEVEL.
THE STYLE* IS FULL CONTACT, AMERICAN KICKBOXING
AND THE TARGET AREA IS THE SAME AS FOR BOXING.
*STYLE: PERSONS WHO WISH TO TRAIN IN KICKBOXING CAN CHOOSE THE NON OR
LIGHT CONTACT STYLE (SPORT) WHICH IS IDEAL FOR FUN FITNESS AND
SELF-DEFENCE, OR TRAIN FOR THE TOURNAMENT FULL CONTACT STYLE
WHICH IS REALLY FOR THE MORE ENERGETIC AND COMPETITIVE.
