Our next smoker event will take place on Saturday, September 18th, at our Cherry Hill facility. Weigh-ins will run from 8:30-9:30am, rules meeting at 10:30, and the first bell will ring at 11am.
The smokers are a great “first step” towards actual competition. We will arrange exhibition Muay Thai and Mixed Martial Arts bouts for students who wish to experience the feel and pace of an actual bout, without the risks associated with one. The rules we adhere to are taken directly from the NJSACB’s guidelines for Muay Thai and MMA competition, with a few modifications for safety.
For Muay Thai bouts, participants will wear 16oz gloves, headgear, shinguards, chest protector, mouthguard, and groin protector. Bouts will be three rounds of two minute duration, with a one-minute rest period in between. Punches and kicks to all parts of the body are legal. Knees to the body are legal. All elbow strikes are illegal.
For MMA bouts, participants will wear 7oz MMA sparring gloves, mouthguard, shinguards, and groin protector. Punches and kicks to the head and body standing will be legal. No knees or elbows are allowed whatsoever, standing or grounded. No strikes to the head of a grounded opponent. The bouts will be three rounds of two minute duration, with a one-minute rest period in between.
Additional rules may be added on the day of the smoker.
