K-1 is one of the world’s most popular combat sport with fans on a global scale. It fuses various stand up techniques from Muay Thai, Karate, Taekwondo, Savate, Kickboxing, traditional Boxing, and other martial arts (the “K”) to determine the single best stand-up fighter in the world (the "1"). Due to K-1’s unique rules, defensive tactics are ineffective and fighters are forced to constantly move and attack which results in maximum action and a very high Knock Out ratio.
The classic K-1 tournament follows a challenging eight-man elimination format where the victor must win three fights in one night. This event will determine the Regional GP Champion who will advance to the K-1 Final Elimination in Seoul in September.
Tickets to the event are priced at $30, $50, $80, $120 Ringside, and VIP Ringside for $200. Doors will open at 5.00pm.
Live appearances by Akebono, Mak Takano, and local fighters are scheduled as follows to offer fans and media the opportunity to get up close and personal to some of the fighters (subject to change). Tickets to the event can be purchase at any of the following events:
