WKA Kicks off the Holidays with a Smoker

Ryan Madigan's World Kickboxing Academy will host their second Smoker to round out 2013. Back in July GR sent a five man team to their first Smoker, this time around Erica Brooke joins Khalil Joseph Khalil, Jim Payne, Joe Callari, & GR Pro Bryon McCroskey to compete for GriffonRawl. Make the trip with us and support the GR Team!

Smokers are for fun and experience. They are free to the public, the results are not recorded, and not part of the fighter’s record. 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.

What: World Kickboxing Academy Smoker
When: December 20, 2013
Where: 3301 Kent Rd., Stow, Ohio 44224
Time: Weigh in at 6 pm.  Fights start: 7 pm
Cost:  Free
