An interesting press release about two Lammaites I've received today. Photos are on the home page, Blog Sep 30.

Since his last loss here in Hong Kong, our world champion took some time off in order to rethink his strategy. First he changed trainers and gym and joined the IMPAKT TEAM where he became partner to Damien Roche, the director of IMPAKT MARTIAL ARTS AND FITNESS CENTER.
His training is going well in a nice environment. He travelled a couple of times with the team to Japan and Singapore to do some sparring sessions and compare his own level with other champions. Back in HK he has had many fight proposals that he all refused, taking his time.
This month, The Panther finally made his move and accepted to fight in New York City last Saturday, Sep 24, at the American Full Contact Karate KyoKushinkai championships. He won by KO in the first minute! It was a 3-fight elimination tournament and he won all 3 to qualify to represent Hong Kong next December in Bercy in France.
His teammate and girlfriend Jo-Anne Timothy - who is also a WORLD Champion in Full Contact Karate - and his partner Damien Roche were all successful in this tournament. The Panther is planning to have a fight here in HK in Dec before fighting for HK in France.
Stay updated! |
