10 bouts were organised despite noone was 100% sure if all the event will happen to the last days. Hopefully we've made it. There were 6 K-1 match-ups, 2 lowkick, muay thai, boxing and MMA fight. There were both beginners and advanced, some of them decided not to wear headgear and in one bout, not to wear even shinpads, so the spectators could enjoy pro-show. More fights than last year ended up before the time – luckily there was only one serious injury – broken nose.
Next day a muay thai seminar with Marta Gusztab took place. She replaced Peter Irving that couldn't make it this year because of the pandemic restrictions. Marta focused of few aspects that could be utilized not only in muay thai – different distances, sharpening defence, working with different pace and seeking various attack areas.
To sum up, despite this year's obstacles, we managed to have the league. As usual, except guest from all over Poland, we had international friends here – from Germany and Czech rep. among others. Thank you, thanks judges and referee, medical help, our photographer (Piątaesencja) and video maker (Radosław Sto) - both works soon and thank you Marta Gusztab. See you in June!
