Kadena De Mano Fighting Club

[.SVA]

Kadena De Mano
- Kadena is the close quarter fighting technique of Kali Sikaran. Short, fast blows with hand, elbows, etc., simultaneous striking/blocking, striking combinations and advanced reaction flows are trained in this system. Kadena De Mano is a realistic defense in a modern environment, in a club or in a crowd where there’s no space in which to move or to escape. In training the Kadena the flow is a very important aspect. The fighter must be able to shift from a relaxed state to a state of speed and power in a very short reaction time.

Kadena De Mano Fighting Club
It was only a matter of time before someone tried to tap into the huge potential of the budding Asian MMA market, and that is where Kadena De Mano Fighting Circuit came in. Completely eschewing the heavier weight divisions, they focus entirely on the fast paced exciting matches that smaller fighters often bring.

Asia Becomes Regulated
- There was a major change in the MMA legal landscape last night, reports Blurcat’s dispatch Sam Stavrakakis, as Asia officially recognized Mixed Martial Arts as a regulated sport. This means that all shows held in Asian regions will be properly monitored by officials, which means the inclusion of random drug testing of competitors. This is yet another huge step forward for the sport, and a very exciting time for MMA fans in the area. So far the Asian MMA market has only seen the uprising of Kadena De Mano Fighting Club but whether this announcement will spark further interest in the sport on the Asian market has yet to be seen but is likely to be expected.
