Vanyo Martial Arts Summer Kickboxing Smoker

September 13th marks the second Vanyo Martial Arts Smoker for 2013.  This time the turnout will be better than the first smoker when Khalil Khalil  was the sole representative of GR.  Five GR warriors will travel to Strongsville to glove up.  Make the trip with us and support the GR Team!

Jon Reeves vs TBA 140lbs
Khalil Khalil  vs TBA 125lbs
George Comer vs TBA 165lbs
Russ Herbert vs TBA 205lbs
Paul Compton vs TBA 150lbs
Tim Stafford vs TBA 150lbs

Smokers are for fun and experience.  The results are not recorded, not part of the fighter’s record and Smoker wins will not qualify a GR member for the Fight Team.  Members use them to get experience and practice outside the familiar surroundings of the academy.  Fight team members use them the same way.  Smoker fights are a pro tool available to every member of the academy.

Where: 19748 W. 130th St, Strongsville, Ohio 44136
