Against a sanitized backdrop of fast food music, Syndicate was conceived over rounds of beers to reduce the growing impact of harmful beats and caveman frequencies in the accelerated world today. Along the way, it transmogrified into a serious idea to create a space for sonic expression and visual experience in post-efficient Singapore. What initially appeared as rounds of accidental & random recruitment exercises soon resulted in the formation of an audio-visual collective with names that are no strangers to the scene and some that are just strange. Propelled by the inactivity in the electronic margins of the sunny island, Syndicate is here as a super-collective to fill a void. It is now set to tear apart music categorization and regurgitate something to call its own.
In short, we are a bunch of music geeks who wanted to venture beyond the standard palette of sounds that was available in Singapore. For those who are unaware, we are a bunch of electronic music producers, DJs and visual artistes leaning towards the innovative side of electronica club experience.
The idea started in mid 2009 over drinks among Cherry, Darren Dubwise and Kiat. There was a lot of frustration back then with the quality of music and visual offerings in Singapore. There was a ton of commercial house, trance, radio hip hop and nu-rave but they felt that there was so much more to explore within the electronica realm; music where people appreciate how it challenges the predictable, and the aesthetics of specific sounds within. The fact that our FM radio stations plays very commercial music doesn't help either. In order to make money and sell advertising spots, the stations here will play music that will appeal to the largest number of people, which can be rather generic sounding.
Where can we hear music which are pure artistic expressions? How do we start an audiovisual culture where it all blends beautifully together? So then, Syndicate was created. Producers like Max Lane and Izaak Stern, visual artistes like Brandon Tay and Rafi Dean and web mistress/DJ Sammy Panamuga and most important of all, the family includes friends and supporters. Syndicate is a community thing, it belongs to the music geeks, the punters and artistes who are from other collectives.
In 2010, Syndicate presented quality live international and local electronica acts, showcasing talents like The Crazy 88, Cosa Nostra, MC Masterpiece, Vanessa Fernandez, Case Woo, Kaye alongside Daisuke Tanabe (Japan), Kidkanevil (UK), Tokimonsta (USA), Free The Robots (USA), Strangeloop (USA), Razor Rekta (UK), Bomb Zombies (USA). Kiat, Brandon Tay and Cherry just completed a series of gigs in Los Angeles, showcasing what we do at the Low End Theory in Los Angeles & San Francisco, as well as the ever influential Brainfeeder Sessions, an event off Flying Lotus' imprint. In July 2011, Max Lane will be presenting his live show at Gilles Peterson Worldwide Festival in Sete, France.
For the rest of 2011, we hope to continue to support the local beats and visual artists' scene, as well as challenge ourselves to produce more new and exciting multimedia shows. In the pipeline is the exploration of concepts beyond the club space and working with traditional musicians for interesting cross pollination. It's all about opening minds up to new creative ideas in electronic arts & sounds, for everyone.
Here's a mini-mix from Syndicate's very own visual guy Rafi Dean, whose often behind the giant screen. Thank you, all those who have been supporting and collaborating. We thank you for your love.
Rafi Dean / Subaqueous Passage Mini-Mix by SyndicateSG
"Syndicate has been a source of inspiration to me on a personal level. This is a thank you to all our supporters and all the musicians and visual artistes' efforts. The passion within each and everyone involved has been incredibly infectious and more often than not, lending to fresh ideas for the next session. Not many might know but I started out as a DJ and music producer but put music aside for almost a year as I focused my energy to other areas such as visuals and event production within Syndicate. Here I return the favour of blessed beats, sprinkled with my inclination toward the melodic. Featuring works from Lorn, Autechre, Shigeto and Singapore's Lioncity Boy - Kevin Lester. Thank you for the inspiration." - Rafi Dean

Ensuring corporate and quality assurance
Commissioners should ensure that the services they commission represent value for money and offer the best possible outcomes for patients. Commissioners need to set clear specifications for monitoring and assuring quality in the service contract.
Commissioners should ensure that they consider both the clinical and economic viability of the service, and any related services, and take into account patients´ views and those of other stakeholders when making commissioning decisions.
Any upper GI endoscopy service needs to:
- Monitor the proportion of endoscopies carried out within diagnostic waiting time targets - this should be defined as:
- where there is a locally agreed 'straight to test' pathway for urgent GP referrals for suspected cancer, then within a minimum two week wait from referral
- where the urgent GP referral for suspected cancer was to a upper GI clinic, which has led to a referral for endoscopy, as soon as practicable, with regard to meeting the total 62 day urgent GP cancer referral treatment pathway
- for all other referrals, within the 18 week patient pathway.
- Audit cases against the referral criteria (see NICE clinical guideline CG17 on dyspepsia Appendix D) to ensure that inappropriate patients are not being investigated within the service. This will be an important component of managing demand.
- Demonstrate how it meets requirements under equalities legislation.
- Demonstrate value for money.
Suggested steps to facilitate audit and improve quality of referral are: use of agreed form, referral policy, education before referral and advisory feedback for referrals that do not adhere to agreed policy.
Local quality assurance
Any mechanisms for assurance at a local level are likely to refer to the following:
- Service targets: estimated caseloads, complaints procedures.
- Audit arrangements: frequency of reporting, reporting route and format and dissemination mechanisms.
- Clinical quality criteria: appropriateness of referral, waiting times and procedures for obtaining consent. Use of the global rating scale for endoscopy (see below) will support this.
- Patient outcomes.
- Equipment: testing and calibration.
- All upper GI endoscopy units should work towards Joint Advisory Group accreditation.
- Information requirements, including both patient-specific information (NHS number, referring GP) and service-specific information (referral-to-treatment times, workload trends, number of complaints).
- The process for reviewing the service with stakeholders, including decisions on changes necessary to improve or to decommission the service.
- Achieving targets associated with equalities legislation.
Further information
General information on quality and corporate assurance can be obtained from the following sources.
- The National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) oversees the implementation of a system to report and learn from adverse events and near misses occurring in the NHS. The publication 'Seven steps to patient safety' provides an overview of patient safety and gives updates on the tools that the NPSA is developing to support patient safety across the health service.
- NHS Alliance online resources. NHS Alliance is the representational organisation of primary care and primary care trusts, and provides them with an opportunity to network and exchange best practice. The alliance supports its members with an open-access helpline, in-house and joint publications and briefings, internal newsletters and a website.
- The DH commissioning framework provides guidance on the commissioning process in the context of the NHS reform agenda.
- Delivering the 18 week patient pathway provides a range of resources to support the key NHS objective to deliver an 18 week patient pathway from GP referral to the start of treatment by the end of 2008.
- NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement support for commissioners, includes Commissioning for Health Improvement products to accelerate the achievement of world class commissioning; The Productive Leader programme to enable leadership teams to reduce waste and variation in personal work processes, and Better care, better value indicators to help inform planning, to inform views on the scale of potential efficiency savings in different aspects of care, and to generate ideas on how to achieve these savings
- '10 Steps to your SES: a guide to developing a single equality scheme'.This guidance has been developed to assist NHS organisations that have a duty, as public authorities, to comply with the race, disability and gender public sector duties, and in anticipation of new duties in relation to age, religion and belief, and sexual orientation.
Specific information on quality and corporate assurance for an upper GI endoscopy service can be obtained from the following sources.
- The Global rating scale for endoscopy is a tool to support endoscopy services by assessing how well they manage a patient-centred service. This is achieved by the provision of an audit tool for self assessment.
- Endoscopy quality and safety indicators is a document that contains the quality and safety indicators for endoscopy services developed by the British Society of Gastroenterology. The indicators are grouped into auditable outcomes and quality standards, which can be used by services to monitor the clinical care they provide.
- The Cancer services collaborative improvement partnership (CSC'IP') is a national NHS-funded programme designed to drive improvements in the way cancer services are delivered to patients. The programme is designed to provide a practical approach to support local clinical teams to look at their own services and make significant improvements for patients by redesigning the way that care is delivered. The upper GI cancer section includes service improvement guides, top tips and examples of upper GI pathways.
- The Primary Care Society for Gastroenterology (PCSG) is a network for general practitioners and others interested in all clinical, research and educational aspects of gastroenterological disorders, and in particular their management in primary care.
- The Healthcare Commission report Taking a closer look: Endoscopy services in acute trusts presents the key national findings of a review of gastrointestinal endoscopy carried out in NHS acute hospitals in England, and offers recommendations for trusts, clinicians and commissioning bodies.

Fans of messaging phones will appreciate that the reasonably-priced Optimus F3Q carries out the basics without breaking a sweat. Its unfortunately scant on-board storage is not a deal-breaker.
It boasts a better lens, faster performance, bulked-up features and a streamlined design.
Though we're not in love with the design and would have liked some additional features, the real beauty of the T-Mobile G1 is the Google Android platform, as it has the potential to make smartphones more personal and powerful. That said, it's not quite there yet, so for now, the G1 is best suited for early adopters and gadget hounds, rather than consumers and business users.
Get the T-Mobile Prism 2 if you want an inexpensive and dependable 3G phone, but skip it if you prioritize speedy performance.
If you're not opting for a smartphone and you can look past its dated design, the Samsung Gravity Q is your best choice for a T-Mobile keyboard phone.

Much of Medway is rural, including large tracts of countryside
on the Hoo peninsula, in the Medway valley, on Rainham marshes and
around the urban area. Its villages make up just over 10 per cent
of Medway's population. The countryside contains many diverse
landscapes, from salt marshes to the chalk hills of the North
Downs. The area also has a number of key employment sites, such as
Kingsnorth and Thamesport on the Isle of Grain.
Medway Council realises that it has a valuable asset in its
rural area and wants to ensure that the area is cared for and its
residents enjoy a good quality of life. The council is working with
local people and its partner organisations on implementing a
strategy for its rural area. This work is based around five key
The Cabinet approved the Rural
Action Plan on 20 July 2004 to support policy and projects
in rural Medway and building partnership working. The plan provides
the council with a framework for securing the sustainable future of
rural Medway and a basis to underpin project development. It
supports activities on a range of issues, such as:
Work under way includes the development of a community transport
scheme for rural Medway. A local partnership, the Halling Association,
has been set up and has carried out a range of projects in Halling
in recent years. In Hoo St Werburgh, the Hoo Partnership is also
working on addressing local concerns.
There are 11 parish councils in Medway, covering the Hoo
peninsula and the western part of the Medway valley. They deal with
a number of local issues, such as the management of village play
areas and are a useful contact point for local information.
This can be provided by the council's Rural Strategy Manager,
whose work has a special focus on rural issues and whose role is to
work on rural projects and policy in Medway.

Post subject: Rebel Legion members in 501st - Do we need to keep track of
Ugh.. the title block cut me off.
The title is:
"Rebel Legion members in 501st - Do we need to keep track of our troops?"
I posted this on the MG (501st) boards initially but I think the question is relevant in both places
I was going to PM this to Hugh directly but then I thought, I know at least 2 or 3 other people who might be in the same situation as me.
Many of us are dual members in the 501st and Rebel Legion. Most of our troops are Joint ops, meaning the trooping event (venue) welcomes costumes that are specific to either the Rebel Legion or 501st... IE X-wing pilots and Stormtroopers.
Many of us show up at a trooping event, choosing whatever costume we feel like wearing from our "arsenal" and we don't think anything more of it beyond wearing what we want to that day. I will often show up at a joint-ops event, that is posted on the MG (501st) boards, in a rebel costume so that I can run R2. Sometimes I am the only rebel at an event so who keeps track of my showing up at a Rebel Legion event?
My question is this. If we are more active on the MG / 501st boards than we are on the Rebel Legion boards but we do many trooping events that can be considered a Rebel Legion event, do we have to take it upon ourselves to check in with the command staff of the Mountain Base of the Rebel Legion to keep our trooping record up to date? Who do we contact? Is there a liaison who operates between the groups who could technically take on this responsibility?
I guess another question is, does it only count if you are wearing a submitted, approved RL costume or can you wear another rebel costume even if you are already an approved member with a different costume? IE: You are an approved member with a Rebel Fleet Trooper costume but you wear your new X-wing pilot costume to the event which you have not yet submitted for approval.
I am also posting this conversation here instead of going directly to Hugh because I am sure this is a valid point for the membership to read, recognize, and consider. Of course 501st only members or Rebel Legion only members won't need to know but this is for dual members.
How does this work and how should we proceed?
Please feel free to post in the thread on the MG (501st) boards too so that the folks over there can see the conversation as well.

Both clubs give the local leadership discretion in these matters. The rationale behind the active inactive status is that people who aren't participating/contributing to the group can't run for office, vote, buy swag, etc.
In my neck if the woods, "the group" is the local base and garrison combined as a single entity. All events are open to all members, all members may take the lead in an event, etc.
In my view, if one is attending events and contributing to the local group in an approved costume, I would day that person is active.
The charter and various by laws and protocols were written to serve the club and it's members, not the other way around. Marking someone inactive on a technicality doesn't make much sense from my perspective.
In the end it will be at the discretion of the base and garrison commanders.

From our charter:
Article I: Membership Requirements
4. All members must meet the minimum activity requirements. Once Legion membership is granted, all members must meet the following criteria in order to have full member privileges and be considered on an active status.
a. Maintain a current email address on the Rebel Legion website and their current contact information with either their local Commanding Officer or other designated local membership representative.
b. Be accounted for in the annual census taken each January by the local Commanding Officer or designee. If a member has not been accounted for by April 1st after the census in January they will be moved to an inactive reserve status and their costume pictures moved to the members' inactive reserve picture area. These inactive reserve status and archive members may not vote in any Rebel Legion poll or election until their status has been changed back to that of an active full member.
c. Participate in at least one approved Rebel Legion event per calendar year. Examples include but are not limited to the following:
1. Appearing in approved Rebel Legion costume or apparel at a charity event, Lucasfilm Ltd. event, or LFL approved partner event.
2. Participating in Rebel Legion activities (table duty, group photo, parade, volunteering at a location) in RL approved costume or approved RL apparel at a convention NOTE: simply showing up at a con in costume will not count toward event participation.
3. Attending a Rebel Legion costume workshop.
4. Assist the Base in some activity that is approved by the CO.
d. Maintain current approved costume picture(s) on the Rebel Legion website.
e. *These Minimum Activity Requirements will be administered justly and taking into consideration that this is a hobby and that real life happens.*The Base Commanding Officer determines if a member is active even if they do not meet all Minimum Activity Requirements.
During the 2012 census, a general email was sent to all members to their stated email address. Those who responded to that email and completed the census had their response validated by me. If there were any questions, I PMd them. Those who did not respond to the general email and/or census were then PMd by me (if possible). I also posted about the census in our facebook page. I even contacted the two 501st garrisons we share our territory with and asked for their permission to create a thread about the RL census since some members are more active in their forums than ours. This increased our response with our DRG dual members. If a member still did not response to the census and I was aware of that person participating in an event, I validated their membership. If I was not able to confirm their participation in any event where the RL was invited to attend, they were placed in inactive status. This does not apply to any members who is serving overseas.
How I validate a members participation in an event. The RL event participation is based on a calendar year. I just check the event the member mentions in the MB forum, MGs troop track and/or DRGs forum. If I am unable to validate their participation, I PM the member. Also the costume worn during that event must be your approved RL costume (see C 2).
This process is simple but time consuming. So please maintain a current email address in your RL profile and make sure the event you list can be validated easily.
Other items you mentioned:
Is there a liaison who operates between the groups who could technically take on this responsibility?
This has been addressed and a couple of members in the MGCS are aware that this is something I would like to see. I even gave a name of a person I believe would do an excellent job.
Please feel free to post in the thread on the MG (501st) boards too so that the folks over there can see the conversation as well.
Not all MB members have applied for MG forum access (this includes the Cantina).
Cal, thanks for creating this thread instead of PMing me. Like you mentioned, this information should be for all MB members and I would have suggested we share my response.
The RL census is coming up so please review the top of this post.

Thanks Matt and Hugh for your responses
Based on what Matt has stated, we might be in a unique situation, comparing the MG / MB relationship to the rest of the Legion(s)?
I'm just spit-balling here so I can't say right now if this is a good idea... but would it be worth asking for a sticky thread topic or sub-forum on the Mountain Garrison forum where we could post if we trooped as a rebel?
It's an idea at least.
It might be a way to help the MB command keep track when census time rolls around? It might also help the job of a Liaison if one was appointed... or take the place of that duty in case a Liaison is not appointed.
Or.. we could just inform the members that they should post up on the Rebel Legion forums. It's funny to think of it this way but people really do find it exhausting to check in to multiple forums. I know at least one MG member who is a dual member who rarely takes the time to check into the MG forums, let alone the MB forums too..

As for your suggestion regarding the Mountain Garrison (MG), the suggestion should be addressed to MG.
With one of the RL membership requirements being to participate in one RL event per a calendar year, I believe every MB member should be able to remember an event in their approved RL costume and prove it if need be. There are many pictures out there from events so it should not be difficult to validate.
My experience from working on the 2012 census showed me members lost their active status because they were basically not active. Their profile was not up to date; no response to the PMs sent to them; after being contacted they still did not complete the census; and of course, they didnt troop.
As for checking forums, working with several SW clubs and especially when youre the POC is very exhausting. That is why more members should help out the few who are active in running the base. Balancing family, work and personal time is very difficult when so few members are actively helping out.
I hope I was able to give you additional feedback.

This was just an idea I've been kicking around and thought it might merit some discussion

A few months back, jdmack posted here http://www.quadraphonicquad.com/foru...to!#post128154 about his correspondence with the folks at Mike Keneally's label Exowax, and how he convinced them to release Mike's new live DVD encoded in DTS 5.1 surround - and it worked! Many repeated thanks to jdmack of course! However, in what seems to be a sadly repeated song around this forum, virtually no one seemed to notice or at least bother with a comment (with a few (5) exceptions).
FWIW, this is a stunning live DVD featuring musicians of the highest caliber performing what appear to be magic tricks on their respective instruments. The DTS mix (1536 kbps DTS) is active and discrete while the fidelity is superb - made all the more remarkable by the obvious limitations of the venue they are performing at - small stage (drummer, 4 guitars, bass and keys)/low ceiling - a great sounding live disc.
Mike has been making great music on his own for over 20 years in somewhat relative obscurity, but has endeared himself to many as a notable sideman for Frank Zappa, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and others. His virtuosity on both guitar and keys is astounding (sometimes played simultaneously). His music is a unique mix of Yes like prog, Zappaesque jazz/blues/rock improv mixed with XTC like power pop. I highly recommend this disc - if you have the strength of your surround convictions, as a member of this forum, you should support releases like this - ESPECIALLY when one of our members successfully lobbies to get a title released in surround. For those of you with fear of the unknown, you can check out a few clips from the video here;

With business going stale at Zydeco Cakes, Rita Lucero has plenty to worry about. But when the blind trumpet player Old Dog Leg Magee asks for a favor, she can't say no. His brother Monroe disappeared forty years ago, and now someone has shown up claiming to be him. Old Dog Leg needs Rita to be his eyes—and see if it's really his brother.

Posing as newlyweds, Rita and her friend Gabriel check in, only to discover that Monroe's true identity isn't the only mystery they'll have to solve. When another guest at the Twisted Palms turns up dead, it seems the mysterious man might also be a murderer...

I feel personally hurt and offended by the "tea parties" that went on in Washington D.C. yesterday.
If anyone here would like to apologise on behalf of those Americans that caused my offense, then I would be most grateful.
The families of those 342 tea chests tragically destroyed in the 1773 terrorist attack on three British ships still mourn their terrible loss. This reckless destruction caused $90,000 worth of damage, in a time when the average laborer made less than a dollar a day. The British Government continue to hunt the 30 to 130 American men who did it. Reports have it that they are dressed as Mohawk Indians, so if you see them please let me know. We're guessing they're residing somewhere in the Boston area, perhaps near Scuba Dave.

Light & Living launching in North American markets
Home Accents Today Staff -- Home Accents Today, January 12, 2013
The raw nickel finish on this lamp, fixture and pedestals offers a contrast with the rustic accents of cowhide and antiqued wood on the designs.
Based in Oxnard, Calif., the U.S. division of Light & Living aims to "provide retail stores and interior designers a complete high-design home lighting and accessory line at remarkably affordable prices," according to a press release.
Ramsey M. Davies assumed the role of the new division's CEO on July 1.
"Having surveyed the current marketplace, we noticed a dearth of high-style, mid-price products. So my European partners and I created a North American division to provide great value in lighting, accent furniture, soft goods and decorative accessories to retailers and designers alike, without compromising quality," Davies said. "We are confident that the industry will be thrilled with the style and value of Light & Living's product offerings."
Light & Living will debut at the winter gift and home markets in Atlanta, Dallas and Las Vegas in January 2013.
An established European brand for more than 35 years, Light & Living partners with factories throughout Asia to provide its products at a value-based price point, the press release stated.
"We have joint ventures with factories, so our pricing is phenomenal," Davies said. "It's another great feature, that we have this great design with direct-from- factory pricing."
The company's designs are inspired by world travel, with four collections comprising the U.S. launch - New York, a bold, industrial-inspired line; St. Tropez, a softer collection with a French country touch; Stockholm, defined by natural elements and organic style; and Bruxelles, combining elegant traditionalism with contemporary European influence.
Davies said the concept of products designed to reflect the cities that inspired them is part of what drew him to Light & Living.
"I like their concept. It's kind of a fresh new look on what's happening with our industry, and the chance to be on the ground floor with a brand new company, that's exciting for anyone who's entrepreneurial," Davies said. "To be on the ground floor with a great concept and great pricing just struck me as a home run."
Light & Living will also introduce its mix-and-match lamp shades and bases to the North American market, allowing consumers to customize each purchase.
The company's products will be warehoused and shipped from Los Angeles beginning in January 2013.
Light & Living will show at Ameri-casmart in Atlanta in Building 2, showroom 918; the Dallas World Trade Center in suite 520; and the World Market Center in Las Vegas on the new C-3 Floor, suite C379.
To make an appointment or to request a catalog, contact Jacqueline Rent at 805- 988-4200.

Photo by Daniel Kucin. Eleanor Roosevelt's Jennifer Clune won both of her events and set two records in the process Saturday at the 3A4A South Regionals.
Published on: Wednesday, February 20, 2013
By Daniel Kucin
Coming off of an impressive showing in the Prince George's County Championship at Fairland Aquatic Center in Laurel last weekend, Eleanor Roosevelt swept the competition once again in the same venue Saturday.
The Raiders finished in first place with 343.5 points on the boys' side of the 3A4A South Regionals, surpassing Northern in second place by 23.5 points. Huntingtown nabbed third, Bowie came in fourth place, and Flowers positioned itself in fifth.
In the girls' competition, the Raiders landed on top again with 328 points, a 22-point lead over runner-up Northern. Flowers swam to a third place finish.
Roosevelt's Jennifer Clune and Emily Boluda set records in both of their individual events. Clune finished off on top in the 200-yard individual medley and the 100-yard breaststroke. Boluda won the 200- and 500-yard freestyle events.
"We faced some really tough competition, and we pulled out in a close meet, so we are really happy with that," said Eleanor Roosevelt Head Coach Andrew Zanghi.
"All year the depth has been our strength. Today we had two of our top senior girls out, but we were still able to pull through with our senior leadership, and they have done a great job."
Dennis Witol was the driving force on the boys' side two weeks in a row for the Raiders, and he set a record in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 2:09.08 over arguably one of the best swimmers in the county. That would be Steven Rigby, of Bowie High School, who set a record in the 100-yard backstroke to help lead his team to a top-three finish.
Daniel Chavez won the 100-yard butterfly for Roosevelt and was a key player in the record-setting 200-yard relay to slide past Huntingtown in just over a minute and 45 seconds.
Not to be overshadowed, the Roosevelt girls' squad also put their names in the record books in the 400-yard relay to top Flowers.
Zanghi said his team is motivated to continue their winning ways in the State Championship held at the University of Maryland, College Park on Saturday.
"We are as ready as we can be, and our swimmers at an individual level are excited. ... I think that they are going to do really well," he said.
"There is going to be a lot of tough competition, but I think that we are going to be ready for that."

Amy releases on PS3, Xbox 360 next week for $12.99by Andrew Yoon, Jan 05, 2012 7:15pm PST
VectorCell's horror game, Amy, will break through a window and scare gamers next week on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade. In a zombified apocalyptic future, you must hold off a growing infection whilst taking care of a "special little girl."
Amy looks like a game you'd see on retail stores, but publisher Lexis Numerique is releasing the game digitally for $12.99 on PS3 and 800 Microsoft Points on Xbox 360. (We're not entirely sure why the Xbox 360 version is cheaper.)
Given the budget price, the tech powering Amy is certainly impressive. Be sure to check out more videos on our video page.
Amy will be available on PS3 on January 10th and on Xbox 360 on January 11th. A PC version is also in the works.

Last weekend, Japanese standouts Kunitaka, Genji Umeno and Yosuke Morii took to Thailand to test their skills under full muay thai rules. Kunitaka took on Singdam Wor. Rungniran at Rajadamnern Stadium on the 24th while Umeno and Morii fought at Lumpini Stadium on the 25th against Kongnapha Srimongkol and Farmeechai Sitbhota, respectively.
At Rajadamnern Stadium, #6 ranked Rajadamnern Stadium Bantamweight Singdam Wor. Rungniran was able to stop WBC Intercontinental Super Bantamweight champ Kunitaka in the 3rd round with a series of clinch knees to the body and legs. The two were going blow for blow throughout a majority of the first two rounds, though Singdam's leg strikes seemed to be carrying a lot more power and causing more damage. Towards the end of the second round, Kunitaka found success in cutting off the ring and trapping Singdam in a neutral corner, something he found even more success with in the 3rd, however it appears that Singdam landed a strong, short elbow in the corner that deterred Kunitaka's further efforts. After a leg kick that appeared to buckle Kunitaka's leg, Singdam began coming forward and initiated a clinch that led to about 8 unanswered knees to Kunitaka's midsection followed by another clinch that saw Singdam abuse Kunitaka's left leg en route to the stoppage. The stoppage was a bit strange to me, though I don't watch a lot of muay thai, as Kunitaka may have been fading greatly from the leg strikes, but he was certainly capable of continuing. Nonetheless, it's a good win for Singdam who showed dominance with his leg kicks. For Kunitaka (36-22-3, 26 KO) it's a 3rd straight loss to a Thai as he was stopped by Rungravee Sasiprapa in Las Vegas and then dropped a decision to Kaimookdam Chuwattana in a fight for the WBC World Super Bantamweight title.
At Lumpini Stadium, Genji Umeno took his first fight as a Lumpini ranker, dropping a decision to #8 ranked Super Featherweight Kongnapha Srimongkol. Apparently it was a close fight and Umeno argued the decision, but Kongnapha was the victor nonetheless. The loss is a disappointment for Umeno (19-2-1, 9 KO) who was on fire with a 10-fight win-streak, with 5 of those fights coming against Thais and all 5 of those wins were by TKO or KO. At just 23, Umeno still has time to capture a Lumpini or Rajadamnern Stadium title.
Also fighting that night at Lumpini Stadium was Umeno's rival Yosuke Morii who had his fight stopped in the 3rd round due to a cut. Reports say that Morii was dropped before the fight was stopped, so he seemed to be on the way out before the cut. Morii's most recent fight was a loss to Umeno back in December.

Taniyama Gym held the 8th event in its Big Bang series yesterday at Differ Ariake in Tokyo. On the card were top Japanese Middleweights Yasuhiro Kido and Yuji Nashiro taking on Baek Man-sun and Yukihiko Komiya, respectively. Also featured on the card were K-1 Koshien participants HIROYA and Hiroki Akimoto taking on Naoki and Ikuya Sasaki, respectively.
In the main event, Yasuhiro Kido scored another KO win, this time of Korean fighter Baek Man-Sun at 2:02 in the 2nd round. Kido (26-13-1, 12 KO) landed repeatedly with high kicks and strong combinations, knocking Baek down 4 times before the fight was stopped. As most know, Kido has had his struggles in the past, but he is now 6-1 (3 KO) in his last 7 and his sole loss was a close decision to Kenta, the man he is set to face next month at Krush.17 for the Krush 70kg title. The relatively easy win bodes well for Kido, who is coming in extremely hot while Kenta suffered a loss in his first fight since last September's K-1 MAX Japan Tournament.
In the co-main event, 2011 K-1 MAX Japan Tournament winner Yuji Nashiro took a close, but clear decision win over former RISE Middleweight champion Yukihiko Komiya on scores of 30-29, 29-28 and 29-29. Komiya (27-10-0, 6 KO) made it a fight, but Nashiro's (10-3-0, 5 KO) offense was too much for him. Until last year's K-1 MAX Tournament, Nashiro was a bit of an overlooked commodity because of his 1st round KO loss to Yuichiro "Jienotsu" Nagashima in the 2010 K-1 MAX Japan Tournament. He scored a pair of wins over Yutaro Yamauchi and Kenta right after that, but a loss to Yoshihiro Sato and a close extension round loss to Yutaro Yamauchi in the Krush 70kg Tournament really dropped him off the radar. That is, until he upset former K-1 MAX champion Albert Kraus in the opening round of last year's Japan MAX Tournament. Nashiro followed that up with a decision win over prospect Takafumi Morita in the semis and a 1st round KO of Yuya Yamamoto in the finals. Nashiro could be in line for a Krush title shot against the winner of Kido-Kenta, but in the meantime, I'd like to see a fight with either TOMOYUKI, who just upset Kenta, or Hinata. Komiya is now on a 2-fight losing streak as this was his first fight back since losing his RISE Middleweight title to Takafumi Morita last July.
In the big surprise of the night, 2008 K-1 Koshien champ HIROYA dropped a close split decision to former NKB Featherweight and Lightweight champ Naoki on scores of 29-28, 30-29 and 28-29. Naoki (19-5-2, 5 KO) was able to pressure HIROYA (10-5-0, 5 KO) offensively and land enough to pick up a win on the scorecards. For Naoki, this win puts him on a 4-fight win-streak, which is a great recovery from the 4-fight losing streak he had prior to that. He would make an interesting matchup for the winner of the RISE Lightweight title match between Yuki and Yuto Watanabe. HIROYA is now on a 2-fight losing streak after losing to Masaaki Noiri in the semis of the Krush Supernova Tournament. This was a close fight, but if HIROYA wants to be considered on the same level as the division's elite, this isn't a fight he should lose. It appears as though his defense has become his biggest liability, as he was outpointed by Noiri and even in his Supernova Tournament wins, he was getting hit a lot. For all of his offensive gifts, he will never break through if his defense isn't adjusted.
Finally, in a 60kg bout, 2010 K-1 Koshien runner-up Hiroki Akimoto kept his undefeated pro record with a 1st round TKO due to a cut over Ikuya Sasaki. Akimoto (13-0-0, 6 KO) landed with a high kick that opened up a cut on Sasaki (0-3-0, 0 KO) that caused the ringside doctor to end the fight. Akimoto made it to the semifinals of the 2009 Koshien Tournament where he ended up losing to Shota Shimada and made it to the finals of the 2010 Tournament, defeating the likes of Sho Ogawa and Keigo Ishida before he succumbed to low kicks against Shohei Hareyama. Akimoto followed that up with a huge 2011 in which he went 4-0 with knockouts in each of those wins, including a knockout of Turbo, his highest-profile opponent yet. Though he's only 19, it is time for Akimoto to start taking steps forward to higher-level opposition as he was likely only fighting someone like Sasaki to get his legs back under him after a 6-month layoff. The next step for Akimoto could be a shot at current MA Kick Featherweight champ Minoru Junibayashi. Sasaki is an MMA fighter as well, but has had just as little success in that as he has in kickboxing, as he is a paltry 1-6-0 fighting for Shooto and GCM Cage Force after starting 3-1 as an amateur.

The 2012 Tatneft Cup continued its action in its home of Kazan, Russia today, hosting the third series of qualifying fights of the first stage. As usual, there were six fights, with two at 70kg, two at 80kg and two at Heavyweight.
Starting off with 70kg, the first fight pitted Sergey Kulyaba of Ukraine against Alexei Dodonov of Russia. Kulyaba took a decision in an extra fourth round. Amadou Ba of France took on Namkabuan Lek of Thailand. Namkabuan Lek also won a decision over four rounds.
At 80kg, The Polish-Belarussian fighter Stanislaw Zaniewski was up against Miran Fabjan of Slovenia. The fight went to an extra round where Zaniewski knocked Fabjan down to take the fight. It's not clear if Miran was stopped or just lost the round because of the knockdown. In the other 80kg fight, our #6 ranked Light Heavyweight Alexander Stetsurenko took a decision over Tadas Jonkus, also in an extra round.

Earlier today, J-Network held Next J-Generation, an event headlined by a 67kg fight between Welterweight champ Masato Otake and WBC Japan Super Welterweight champ Soichiro Miyakoshi and a 70kg bout between Super Welterweight champ Tomoaki Makino and WPMF Japan Super Welterweight champ Takeru Shimizu, as well as the opening round of an 8-man Bantamweight tournament.
Undefeated J-Network Welterweight champion Masato Otake tasted defeat for the first time against WBC Japan Super Welterweight champ Soichiro Miyakoshi. Miyakoshi was able to keep pressure on Otake (9-1-0, 3 KO) throughout the course of the 3 rounds to earn a unanimous decision on scores of 30-27(x3). Miyakoshi had a rough 2011, dropping back to back fights to Yuya Yamato and Takafumi Morita, seemingly solidifying his place as a gatekeeper, but he bounced back with a win over WBC Japan Super Welterweight champ and Krush 70kg tournament finalist Yutaro Yamauchi to net him that title. Adding onto that today puts Miyakoshi back into contention with Japan's top 70kg fighters. A good next step for Otake may be a defending his title in J-Network as it seems Miyakoshi exposed him a bit.
In a 70kg fight, WPMF Japan Super Welterweight champion Takeru Shimizu fell behind early, but scored a knockdown of J-Network Super Welterweight champ Tomoaki Makino in the 3rd round to complete a comeback and earn a majority decision win on scores of 29-28, 29-27 and 28-28. Shimizu was coming into this fight off of a loss in MA Kick to Kazuya Takeda while Makino hadn't fought since an August loss to Buakaw Por. Pramuk in Thai Fight.
This event also marked the opening round of the J-Network Bantamweight tournament for the vacant Bantamweight title. #6 ranked Super Bantamweight Kentaro Kimura scored a TKO due to a cut over #2 ranked Super Flyweight and former boxer Chiharu Manda at 2:14 in the first round. #8 ranked Super Bantamweight Ki-Hoon Kim was able to pull off the upset over #1 ranked Bantamweight Kiyokazu Ohara, taking a unanimous decision on scores of 30-29 and 30-28(x2). #5 ranked Super Flyweight Kenta defeated #4 ranked WPMF Japan Bantamweight Jun Miyoshi by unanimous decision in an extension round on scores of 10-9(x3). And finally, #3 ranked Bantamweight Tatsuya Hibata defeated #7 ranked WPMF Japan Bantamweight Ken Takehara by unanimous decision on scores of 29-28(x3).Add a comment
Yesterday at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, NJKF held its first major card of 2012, a new series entitled Kick to the Future. The card was headlined by a rematch between Tetsuya Yamato and Densiam Lookprabaht, a WBC Muay Thai International Super Flyweight title fight between TOMONORI (Sato) and Romie Adanza, and a 70kg super fight between Kenta and TOMOYUKI. There were also a pair of title fights, with Seiji Takahashi and Ikki fighting for the vacant Super Lightweight title and Hiroshi Saenchaigym and Rookie fighting for the vacant Super Bantamweight title.
In the main event, 2010 K-1 -63kg Tournament champion Tetsuya Yamato took swift revenge, knocking out former Lumpinee Stadium champion Densiam Lookprabaht in the 1st round at 2:28. Yamato (26-9-1, 21 KO) apparently dropped Densiam with a huge left hook that Densiam got up from, but didn't recover from, as Yamato rushed him and knocked him down again, prompting the ref to stop the fight. The win snaps a 2-fight losing streak for Yamato who dropped decisions to Jomthong Chuwattana and Ryuji Kajiwara in WBC and Krush title fights, respectively. After the fight, Yamato claimed that a WBC World title was his current goal, so I expect his next fight to take place in NJKF.
In the co-main event for the WBC International Super Flyweight title, WBC U.S. Bantamweight champion Romie Adanza and WMC Intercontinental Super Flyweight champion TOMONORI fought an abbreviated fight that was stopped at 0:19 into the 2nd round because of a cut that was a result of an elbow that Adanza threw. Neither fighter seemed to take much of a lead after the first round, but shortly into the second, Adanza landed an elbow that opened up a deep cut on TOMONORI's head that caused the ref to immediately call in the ringside doctor, who took little time to determine that the cut was too deep, an assessment that TOMONORI was not happy with at all. The win gives Adanza the WBC International Super Flyweight title, but with the way the fight ended, I wouldn't be surprised if a rematch was in the works. TOMONORI (30-13-3, 15 KO) was coming into the fight on a 3-fight winning streak.
In the big upset of the night, TOMOYUKI was able to squeak by Krush 70kg champion Kenta and take a majority decision on scores of 29-29, 30-29 and 29-28. It appears as though in rounds 2 and 3, TOMOYUKI constantly came forward and outworked Kenta to get the nod from the judges. TOMOYUKI is best known for his fight at Thai Fight Japan where he lost a decision to Sudsakorn Sor Klinmee. With this win, he gets his name out in what is the currently muddled 70kg division in Japan which has been controlled by a variety of inconsistent fighters since Masato's retirement. This fight was Kenta's (23-9-3, 8 KO) first fight since September's K-1 MAX Japan Tournament where he lost a razor-thin extension round decision to Yuya Yamamoto in the semifinals. Despite the loss, this may be a positive for Kenta who gets some action ahead of his higher profile March 17th title defense against Yasuhiro Kido in Krush.
In a bit of a surprise, NJKF Lightweight champion Keijiro Miyakoshi and MA Kick Super Featherweight champion Hikaru Machida fought to a majority draw on scores of 30-30, 30-29 and 29-29. Miyakoshi (10-3-1, 4 KO) was riding a 3-fight win streak coming into the bout and most recently had defeated J-Network Lightweight champ Akihiro Kuroda to earn a WBC Japan title shot. Machida (14-4-1, 4 KO) was fighting for the first time since September when he defended his MA Kick title against Nobuhiro Iwai. I would imagine Miyakoshi still has his title shot lined up and Machida is now likely in consideration as well.
In a bout for the vacant NJKF Super Lightweight title, WBC Japan Super Lightweight champion Seiji Takahashi was able to outpoint former NJKF Lightweight champ Ikki to earn a unanimous decision on scores 50-47 and 49-47(x2). Takahashi was coming in off of a successful defense of his WBC Japan title against Yusuke Sugawara back in October while Ikki had lost his most recent fight at Krush.14 to Yosuke Mizuochi.
Finally, #1 ranked NJKF Super Bantamweight Hiroshi Saenchaigym took a close split decision over #2 ranked Rookie on scores of 49-48(x2) and 48-49.

Krush.16 took place earlier today at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and it marked the company's second co-promotion with ISKA, again with two titles on the line, pitting Japanese kickboxers against European kickboxers for the ISKA Light Welterweight and Light Middleweight titles. 2011 K-1 63kg Japan Tournament champion Yuta Kubo took on former WPMF France champ Charles Francois for the ISKA World Light Welterweight title while 2010 K-1 MAX World Tournament Runner-up Yoshihiro Sato took on reigning ISKA World Light Middleweight champ Fadi Merza for his title. Also, K-1 regular Yuya Yamamoto took on fellow K-1 veteran Xu Yan at 70kg.
In the main event, Yuta Kubo continued his reign of terror, stopping Charles Francois with a body shot at 2:18 into the 2nd round to claim the ISKA Light Welterweight title. Kubo used his offensive skill-set to keep Francois off rhythm and scored a down in the first round with a head kick. In the second, Kubo worked Francois' body en route to a body shot KO. Kubo (32-4-1, 15 KO) is now on a 9-fight win streak, going an incredible 13-1 (5 KO) since the beginning of 2010. An interesting note is that his last four wins have come over European competition. With FIKA showing signs of life with their recently announced Koshien Tournament, expect their focus for tournament selection to still be Japan-centric at -63kg and Kubo is the #1 fighter in Japan at the weight. Not to mention the lighter weight tournaments have usually taken place earlier in the year. Francois (33-10-1, 25 KO) was 2-6 in his last 8 coming into this fight, so it seems like a bit of a squash match, something Kubo has had trouble avoiding lately.
In the co-main event, Yoshihiro Sato has taken a positive step in reclaiming some consistency, taking a unanimous decision over ISKA Light Middleweight champion Fadi Merza on scores of 50-45 (x3) to claim the ISKA World Light Middleweight title. Sato (49-17-0, 20 KO) made it to the finals of the most recent K-1 MAX World Tournament in 2010, defeating Yuya Yamamoto, Michal Glogowski and Gago Drago, but losing to kingpin Giorgio Petrosyan in the finals. After that fight, Sato won a questionable split decision over Shemsi Beqiri in Krush, then lost a questionable decision to Armen Petrosyan, lost to Andy Souwer in Shootboxing and was involved in yet another questionable decision with his win over Albert Kraus in K-1, then lost his most recent fight to Alex Tobiasson Harris at Rumble of the Kings 2011, though that fight was at 75kg. Not to say those questionable fights weren't very close, but they could have easily gone the other way. Merza (118-18-3, 43 KO) was coming off of a loss to Cedric Muller in The Challenger Muay Thai.
In a 70kg bout, K-1 veteran Xu Yan scored a bit of an upset, knocking out 2009 K-1 MAX World Tournament semifinalist Yuya Yamamoto at 1:39 into the 1st round. Yan appeared to get off to a good start, landing against the defensively flawed Yamamoto. Then in the second round Yan took over, scoring three knockdowns and earning him the TKO victory. Yan (30-13-0, 15 KO) had lost 4 straight fights coming into this fight with back to back losses to Abdallah Mabel in Fight Code. He was previously best known for his KO of Yuichiro "Jienotsu" Nagashima in K-1 in 2009. Yamamoto (33-22-1, 11 KO) hit his career peak in 2009, defeating Chi Bin Lim and Gago Drago to make it to the semifinals of the 2009 K-1 MAX World Tournament where he lost to Giorgio Petrosyan by KO. Since, he has struggled immensely, going 6-5 (2 KO), being upset by Hinata and Shintaro Matsukura and most recently being KO'd by Yuji Nashiro in the finals of the 2011 K-1 MAX Japan Tournament after taking a questionable decision win over Kenta in the semifinals.
In a 61kg fight, K-1 veteran Kizaemon Saiga picked up a majority decision win over Katsuya Goto on scores of 30-30, 30-29 and 30-27. Saiga (8-4-1, 1 KO) has proved himself to be a tough out in the 63kg division, but he is not quite an elite fighter. After an upset over Naoki Ishikawa in K-1, Saiga was KO'd in the semifinals by eventual champion Tetsuya Yamato, then upset by Korean prospect Sun-Hyun Lee. He won a fight in Krush, then lost in the opening round of the Krush 63kg Tournament to eventual champion Ryuji Kajiwara, then lost in the opening round of the 2011 K-1 -63kg Japan Tournament to eventual champion Yuta Kubo. In short, if you defeat Saiga in a tournament, you win the tournament, though the two times HIROYA defeated Saiga in the Koshien Tournament were the two years he lost. He is now on a 3 fight win streak. Goto (8-6-1, 3 KO) most recently defeated Takeshi Watanabe at Krush.11.

I've been busy lately so I wasn't able to recap most of what took place for the second half of January, so over the next couple days I will put up event recaps of RISE 86, It's Showtime Japan Countdown/REBELS.10 and Shin Nihon Kickboxing Association's Brave Hearts 18 cards.
First, I will start with RISE 86 that took place on January 28th at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and was headlined by a Super Lightweight title fight between champion Koji Yoshimoto and Yasuomi Soda. Also on the card were a pair of superfights featuring promotional Bantamweight champion KENJI and Middleweight champion Takafumi Morita, as well as a #1 contender's bout at 63kg between K-1 vets Yuto Watanabe and Shohei Asahara.
In the main event, Super Lightweight champion Koji Yoshimoto defended his title for the second time, edging out Yasuomi Soda and taking a unanimous decision on scores of 48-47, 47-46(x2). It appears as though with the win Yoshimoto (24-13-3, 3 KO) will be focusing on going global and taking on some of the world's best, presumably at 63kg and not 65kg. Yoshimoto may not have been on a lot of people's radar, but a win in K-1 and a huge win over prospect Son Hyun Lee back at RISE 85 has made Yoshimoto an interesting fighter to look out for. At 32, if Yoshimoto is looking to make a run at the top of the 63kg division, his time is winding down. Personally, I don't think Yoshimoto possesses the tools to challenge the likes of Koya Urabe, Masaaki Noiri, Rashata, etc., let alone the world's best. The loss for Soda (10-1-0, 3 KO) is his first as he sported a spotless 10-0 record coming into the fight. Despite the loss, Soda put forth a good effort against a fighter who seems to be hitting his stride and at 23, Soda has time to improve.
In the co-main event and probably the most important fight of the night, RISE Bantamweight champion KENJI took on Lumpinee Bantamweight ranker Pajonsuk Por. Pramuk in a 55kg fight. The fight appears to have been close, but Pajonsuk suffered from two (possibly three) point deductions that were a result of clinch knees, something that has been removed from RISE, much like K-1 and Krush. KENJI took a unanimous decision on scores of 29-26 and 29-25(x2). This is a huge win for KENJI (19-4-0, 13 KO) and further establishes his name at 55kg. His next fight will take place in what should be shaping up to be a stacked RISE 87 card, though it is unclear whether or not he will be defending his title, but with a lack of new challengers, he will likely be in a superfight. Pajonsuk (110-20-1) has fought in Japan several times before in Shootboxing, where he has had great success, however he hadn't faced anyone with the same skill level of KENJI. However, Pajonsuk had fought the week prior against Karim Bennoui at 60kg where he managed a 5 round draw, so one could assume that fight took a bit of a toll on him.
In another superfight featuring a RISE champion, Middleweight champ Takafumi Morita scored a unanimous decision win over Korean fighter Cha Un-pyo on scores of 30-27, 29-26 and 30-26. Morita (12-1-1, 5 KO) scored a pair of knockdowns to nab the win. Morita is a fighter that, along with Kenta and Yuji Nashiro, made a name for himself in the K-1 Japan MAX Tournament last year. Unlike fellow prospect Hiroki Nakajima, who he beat in that tournament, Morita possesses equally impressive offensive and defensive tools and likes to use pressure and a high volume of strikes to crack his opponents. If FIKA holds a Japan qualifying tournament, Morita has a very good chance to play spoiler should he be selected for the tournament.
In a 63kg #1 contender's bout, #2 ranked Yuto Watanabe was able to edge out an extension round majority decision over #3 ranked Shohei Asahara on scores of 10-10 and 10-9(x2) after a 3 round majority draw on scores of 29-28 and 29-29(x2). With the win Watanabe (10-5-0, 2 KO) earns the right to face current Lightweight champ Yuki in his first title defense at RISE 87 on March 24th. Watanabe is a middle of the road fighter at 63kg and has had trouble stringing together wins since reaching the higher levels of the division, going 4-4 in his last 8 without any consecutive wins. I expect the trend to continue for Watanabe, though the long layoff for Yuki could cause problems and give Watanabe an edge. Asahara (8-6-0, 2 KO) drops back onto a 2-fight losing streak and cements his status as a divisional gatekeeper.
RISE 87 is set for March 24th and although only one fight has been announced, the list of participants is very promising. The lone fight announced is Lightweight champion Yuki defending his title against Yuto Watanabe. Participants for the card are Heavyweight champ Makoto Uehara, Bantamweight champ KENJI, Super Featherweight champ Kosuke Komiyama, Erika Kamimura, Kengo Shimizu, Ryo Pegasus and J-Network Featherweight champion Masato Sato. Speculation on my part is that Uehara will defend his title against Shimizu and, with two quarterfinal bouts left in the RISE Featherweight tournament that are set to take place on this card, Ryo Pegasus and Masato Sato will each be featured in one, but likely not against each other as they are the #1 and #2 ranked fighters in the division.

Over the past year, Japan's 55kg division has began to heat up with the emergence of Ryuya Kusakabe, Shota Takiya and KENJI, brother of Yuta Kubo and now it appears that there is another rising star in the Super Bantamweight division and it is 25 year old Seiya Rokukawa. At DEEP*KICK 10 earlier this week, Rokukawa asserted his dominance in the promotion's first 55kg tournament, scoring consecutive knockout wins over Yuki Kyotani and Yukinobu Nakatsukasa in the semis and finals, respectively. The wins move Rokukawa to 8-0-0, 6 KO and is his second tournament win of his young career as he won the RISE Rising Rookies Cup last year at 55kg, scoring knockouts in the semifinals and finals of that tournament as well. Despite only having 8 pro fights, at 25, Rokukawa is older than the elite fighters in the division, but luckily RISE has one of the better 55kg divisions in Japan. If his power carries into the upper levels of the division, then potential matchups with Ryuya Kusakabe, Shota Takiya and Nobuchika Terado should be all the more entertaining.
Also on this card were a pair of retirement bouts. First, Yasushi Nobuhiro whose exhibition bout was against 2010 K-1 MAX Japan Tournament champion Yuichiro "Jienotsu" Nagashima. Nagashima still looked to be a bit heavy, but in shape so he may be on the path back to being a legitimate kickboxer. The other retirement exhibition was for the first NJKF Atomweight "BONITA BOXEO" champion taking on current WPMF Japan Women's Atomweight champion Little Tiger.Add a comment
Last night at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Shootboxing held its first big event of 2012. The emphasis on this card and in Shootboxing as of late seems to be on matching up fighters of different disciplines under Shootboxing rules as opposed to bouts between Shootboxing fighters. This could be seen as the card was headlined by Shootboxing star Hiroki Shishido vs K-1 veteran Warren Stevelmans as well as a 70kg bout between former boxer Satoru Suzuki and former thaiboxer Bovy Sor Udomson. Also in action were Shootboxing Women's Flyweight champion Ai Takahashi against 17 year old karate fighter Mizuki Inoue and Shooto legend Mamoru Yamaguchi taking on Shootboxing prospect Kazuyuki Fushimi.
In the night's main event, Shootboxing star Hiroki Shishido lost his third straight fight to South African Warren Stevelmans by unanimous decision on scores of 47-44, 46-44 and 47-46. It appears that the fight was a grueling affair with Shishido attempting to use throws and submissions to wear down Stevelmans while Stevelmans got the better of the striking exchanges. I believe Stevelmans scored two knockdowns while Shishido was able to get a shoot point. Stevelmans (55-15-4, 16 KO) first broke out in K-1 in 2008, winning the 2008 Netherlands qualifier tournament, defeating Chris Ngimbi and Marco Pique en route to his first shot at the Final 16. He made it to the quarterfinals before losing to Andy Souwer, which was part of a rough streak from 2008-2009 that saw Stevelmans go 3-6, however his losses were to Gago Drago, Souwer, Giorgio Petrosyan, Albert Kraus, Orono Wor Petchpun and Saiyok Pumpanmuang. Recently, he made it to the finals of the 2011 K-1 MAX Madrid tournament, losing to Rafi Zouheir in the finals and since has scored wins over Mohammed Medhar and Zeben Diaz, drew with Armen Petrosyan and lost to Buakaw Por Pramuk in his last fight. At 34, Shishido (48-12-0, 20 KO) is having his age catch up to him quite a bit. Since September of 2010, Shishido is just 1-5 and two of the losses in his current streak came to MMA fighters Toby Imada and "Lion" Takeshi Inoue.
In the co-main event, Shootboxing converts Satoru Suzuki and Bovy Sor Udomson fought in what appears to have been a thrilling affair which saw Bovy floored two or three times by Suzuki in the first round only to come back and go toe to toe with the former boxer. Despite Bovy's comeback, his first round deficit was too large and he lost a unanimous decision on scores of 28-26(x3). With the win, Suzuki improves his pro kickboxing record to 7-10-0, 5 KO and continues his up and down career as he was coming off of a loss to Christophe Pruvost at Shoot the Shooto back in November. The win also gets Suzuki's foot in the door for this year's S-Cup and if he is able to put together another win or two against top competition, expect him to be included in his first S-Cup. Bovy (84-44-2, 52 KO) was on a 2-fight win streak in Shootboxing with wins over Toby Imada and Gago Drago after a rough start to 2011 which saw him lose 3 straight fights. While the loss may jeopardize his spot in this year's S-Cup, it will not jeopardize his spot at the top of Shootboxing's cards as he has put on wildly entertaining bouts against Takaaki Umeno, Hiroki Shishido and Gago Drago and appears to have put on another great fight for Shootboxing.
In what has to be seen as probably the biggest upset of 2012 so far, 17 year old karateka and JEWELS MMA -56kg Rough Stone GP winner Mizuki Inoue was able to sneak by Shootboxing Women's Flyweight champion Ai Takahashi in an extension round, winning on scores of 10-9(x3) after a majority draw on scores of 30-29, 30-30 and 29-29. Inoue appeared to have utilized good head movement to avoid Takahashi's offense while counter-striking and scoring with her own. The win for the 17 year old Inoue (4-1-0, 0 KO) shakes the women's Flyweight division as Inoue only had 4 prior kickboxing bouts, two of which were under Shootboxing rules, and because she is splitting time between kickboxing and MMA. Inoue will likely receive an invite to this year's Girls S-Cup. The loss for Takahashi (11-3-0, 5 KO) is devastating as she had become divisional kingpin by default with RENA's victory over Erika Kamimura at RISE 85 in November. Likely a factor in the loss was Takahashi's 7 month layoff due to an orbital bone injury. This year's Girls S-Cup should be essential in determining who the top of the crop is as it will likely include Takahashi, Inoue, RENA and Erika Kamimura.
In another MMA vs Shootboxing bout, Shootboxing prospect Kazuyuki Fushimi took on former Shooto Bantamweight and Featherweight champion Mamoru Yamaguchi, but Fushimi was unable to pick up his second straight win against an MMA fighter as Yamaguchi won a close majority decision on scores of 29-29 and 30-29(x2). Yamaguchi (4-1-0, 0 KO) gets a win in his first fight in Shootboxing in over 2 years and although he was not one of the four men selected to participate in the first UFC Flyweight tournament, Yamaguchi is still a top contender and as he has proven in Shootboxing, has the striking to challenge anybody in the division. Fushimi (14-9-0, 4 KO) has had trouble staying consistent and has faltered against all of his name opponents save MMA fighter Junji Ito, but at just 20 years old he still has time to sharpen his tools and possibly become a threat to the top 55kg fighters in Japan.
Finally, Shootboxing prospect Masaya Matsuhana took a unanimous decision over MMA fighter Tenkei Oda on scores of 30-28, 30-26 and 29-26.

Hey there, I was checking out Captivate to see what it's all about, when I came upon the Captivate page.
On the page there are several videos extolling the virtures of Captivate. I loved the animated people they used.
Can anyone share where I can find those or similar figures and what I would use to animate them? I don't want to use those exact Adobe figures but find figures elsewhere that I can animate. Is there a place online where I can create how they look?
I'm no artist so I can't draw the figures.
Thanks in advance for your help.
This tutorial could get you started if you use Flash...
http://animation.about.com/od/flashanimationtutorials/ss/flash29walkcy cl.htm
Thanks Steve for that info. I do have Flash.
Let me ask a better question:
About the figures that were used in the Captivate video,
It's really the source of drawn figures that I am searching for as I would like to have figures in my presentation that look like me and others I work with.
Thanks in advance if you have any info.
You need Adobe to answer that. Most likely they made them in-house or
contracted someone to create them.
Suggestion. Take a look at elearningarts.com. They have photographic
character packs, rather than stick men. I use them. They are very effextive.
You might be able to find other places that have sililar stick-man packs,
but I didn't find any yet.

Prior to arriving at Valpo, Boggs played at Virginia Tech, appearing in 29 games over two seasons before transferring to become a Crusader. Boggs earned his bachelor's degree from Valparaiso in sports management, and is currently working towards a master's degree in sports administration.
