Mission Muay Thai - In House Sparring

Matchmaking for Mock Fight Saturday, July 27th 

In-house sparring (Mock Fights) will be hosted in two Mission boxing rings simultaneously, depending on how many matches we confirm.

Competition Rules and Regulations

Winner will be determined for every match. Main key -HAVE FUN AND LEARN! Our in-house (mock fight) is based on technical ability. All Athletes are assessed on attributes such as Balance, Position, Timing and Accuracy. This event is designed for our athletes to distinctively learn our sport - clean scoring knowledge and strong Muay Thai technique in competition. Participate in learning! All aggression levels will be overseen carefully, and you will be asked to leave the match and event entirely if you are being disrespectful or dishonoring our rules and regulations.

If one athlete is clearly overwhelming/outclassing the other, the referee will ask the more skilled athlete to work on defense and a few counter attacks.  If the match is still overwhelming, our ref and staff will make the rounds shorter or cancel the match entirely.
