Fight Fan Weekend

Tournament News Update
By Chief Instructor Anthony
 
Hey America's Ultimate Martial Arts Academy competition fans... I'm excited to bring you another update in our tournament news saga. On the weekend of the highly publicized Mayweather vs Canelo bout on PPV, our local stars Deshi Venom and Deshi Spiderman covered two events this weekend, by splitting up and travelling in separate directions to make an appearance at each event. Deshi Venom travel by car for 10 hours to compete in Detroit Michigan and Desi Spiderman traveled four hours to compete in Rhode Island. When we talk about dedication, hard work and perseverance... these two epitomize those characteristics.
America's Ultimate Martial Arts

Deshi Venom began his quest for victory when he left Thursday in the wee hours of the night to drive 10 hours to Detroit Michigan to the International Karate Championships. On the road to Michigan however, he and the other occupants in the vehicle he was travelling in experienced a near fatal accident when they swerved avoid another vehicle and ended up driving off the road into a soy bean field. Everyone in the vehicle escaped with NO injuries, however the vehicle sustained heavy scratches and other cosmetic damages. This didn't  deter them from completing their journey and making it safely to the event.
 
Friday night was comprised of Team GTS, Team Impex, Team KTOC, and another less popular team. The first round drew the best team on the circuit, Team Impex with Deshi Venom locked and loaded to face middle weight Avery Richard Plowden. Deshi held his own against the veteran but the team couldn't match the experience of Team Impex. Team KTOC then went on to dismantle the less popular team to earn third place for team sparring.
Saturday individual sparring divisions began with a fired up Deshi Venom behind the team sparring loss from the previous evening to wake up the division with three major fights. He started off behind on points but then earned a comeback victory for the first match. He then goes on to dismantle his second opponent with a well fought match that put him one step closer to victory. The last and final match found Deshi Venom matched up against Avery Richard Plowden again to compete for first place. Unfortunately his efforts fell short as he suffered a loss against Avery Richard Plowden to earn him second place in the middle weight sparring divisions. 
 
In addition to sparring Deshi Venom also competed in the musical kata,  taking first place inAmerica's Ultimate Martial Arts the division. He decided not to perform for runoffs in kata due to a strained hamstring. That decision
allowed him to save himself for his performance in sparring.
 
Deshi Spiderman ran through his division to earn first place in the Men's Light Weight sparring divisions. Ultimately Deshi Spiderman made it to the stage to compete against Brooklyn's own Internationally known heavyweight Ross Levine where he succumbed to the experience of Mr Levine.
 
Both are of our fighters got great experience this weekend competing against the best on both the NASKA circuit as well as the NBL circuit. Now everyone is beginning to see that these two are the new Rising Stars. What's more impressive is after their return home, they came back to the lab to then study their competition and prepare for the next event. We are so proud of these guys and what they been able to accomplish in such a short period of time.
 
Keep up the great work guys and we can't wait to see you guys in action at the next event.
