K-1 Offers August Open Fighter Tryout by Mike Afromowitz

K-1, the world’s premiere martial arts fight promotion, will host its
fourth-ever open tryout for both stand-up fighting and mixed martial arts
competitors at Las Vegas, Nevada’s Bellagio on Friday, August 11th and
Saturday, August 12th, the day of its “Battle at Bellagio” mega-card.
The two-day trial period will be open to all fighters in all weight classes
and will serve as a means of recruiting new blood not only for K-1’s
stand-up fighting circuit, but also for its mixed martial arts fight cards.
“It’s the opportunity of a lifetime for anyone looking to do this for a
living and make a name for themselves in the sport,” said 25-year-old
Patrick Barry, a graduate of the first open tryout in K-1 history, held at
the Bellagio in August 2004. Barry, a powerful heavyweight Muay Thai striker,
has since seen action in K-1 events staged in both Japan and Las Vegas,
including April 29th’s “Mayhem At Mirage II,” where he battled Russia’s
Alexandre Pitchkounov in a tournament reserve contest. “The tryouts really
helped launch my career with K-1. Before that, I was just kind of floating
around and looking for a window that would lead to a shot in the big-time. It
’s a great feeling now to know that people 18,000 miles away know my name.”
The April 29th card in Las Vegas also hosted the debut of another K-1 tryout
veteran, Dan Green. In 2005, Green, a former amateur boxer and kickboxer from
Utah, was simply a number amongst over 100 contestants vying for a place with
the fight promotion.
Tryout participants will partake in various exercises that test a wide array
of skills including speed, power, coordination, flexibility, and knowledge of
the sport. They will also engage in modified sparring sessions with one
another.
K-1 USA Fight Coordinator Sven Bean will oversee and direct all activities
during the two-day trial period. A group of judges as well as executives from
K-1 Japan and K-1 USA will observe the tryouts and make recruiting decisions.
Judges of past K-1 open fighter tryouts have included legendary K-1
competitor Sam Greco as well as three-time K-1 tournament champion, Michael
McDonald, and 2005 K-1 World Grand Prix Hawaii champion, “Big Daddy” Gary
Goodridge.
Those who wish to register for the tryout should contact Mr. Bean via email
at [email protected] or should fax a request for an official tryout application
to 303-400-1756. Candidates will be required to make their own arrangements
for travel and stay in Las Vegas during the tryout period.
K-1 will supply all boxing gloves and headgear for the tryouts. Participants
will be required to bring their own shorts and protective equipment including
a groin protector, a mouthpiece, and shin guards.
K-1 is a martial arts fighting sport that derives its name from its inclusion
of a wide array of combat disciplines, including Karate, Kung-Fu, and
Kickboxing (“K”), and its intent to determine one champion in one ring (“1
”). After being staged for the first time in Japan in 1993 under the
direction of founder Master Kazuyoshi Ishii, it later evolved into the country
’s most popular sport and achieved popular culture status there as its
athletes turned into larger-than-life celebrities.
