KTMMA Launches in November The Concept KTMMA (Kick Thai Mixed Martial Arts) is a dynamic new fightsport concept from the mind of Martial Arts fighter, promoter and entrepreneur Tim Izli a renowned and respected veteran of the combat arts. Looking for a bold and fresh initiative for the 21st Century Tim decided to combine two of the most popular and fast growing formats in the World, K-1 and MMA, into a hybrid that combines the upright and the grappling arts into a fast-paced fight system that takes no prisoners. The first round follows stand-up rules, wearing 10oz gloves and the combatants kick, punch, knee, elbow, grab and throw but do not go to ground. Similarly, the clinch must be used to strike or throw, not to stand- up grapple, keeping the action fast and flowing. The second round follows MMA rules and a change of gloves to 4oz MMA gloves replicates a motor racing pit stop whilst the return of knees to the head on the ground takes MMA back to a more full rules set. KTMMA is an ambitious concept but it is here that all Tims experience comes into play as he has developed a network of contacts with real influence within the industry that has enabled him to put a team of people together that he has worked with and trusted over a period of years.
