Burbank, Ca (PRWEB) July 22, 2010

RISARC PRODUCTIONS and the Champions of Champions Elite fight series are positioned to take Muay Thai to new heights. Starting with the much anticipated premiere of the show on July 23rd at 8pm on G4, a new generation of fight fans are anticipated to join the established base ringside.

Champions of Champions Elite look forward to presenting the true sport of Muay Thai to a waiting American audience. The series will introduce some of the most respected and revered fighters ever brought together in a series of championship fights.

Muay Thai vs. Mixed Martial Arts

Muay Thai is considered so effective that you can see signs of the sport utilized in many modern mixed martial arts and fighting sports. Today you will find that over 90% of all MMA and UFC fighters currently enlist a Muay Thai trainer to enhance their striking skills for their own sport.

A large number of MMA and UFC stars of today have extensive Muay Thai back grounds and Muay Thai champions such as Ray Sefo have made smooth transitions in the UFC and MMA fight leagues by dominating their opponents with superior striking skills.

One of the key components that set Muay Thai apart from MMA is that its fighters fight from a standing position.. There are no wrestling or submission moves involved in Muay Thai and clinches are held to a minimum. This is why a fighter like Thai legend Buakaw Por Pramuk is a revered name not only in the Muay Thai community but in all Martial Arts world as well. It truly is a Warrior Sport as America will soon discover.

The Numbers Don’t Lie

Muay Thai today is the fastest growing sport in the United Sates having grown from 156,000 fans to 1,000, 000 as of 2009 and the prospects for growth look even stronger now! Muay Thai has outpaced the growth of MMA and UFC in locations such as Australia where recent pay for view figures for Muay Thai broadcasts have out performed those of UFC by significant numbers.

The Premiere Show

Quarteron vs. Slowinski

Patrice “The Dark Ronin” Quarteron (France) 30 years old, 31 wins 4 losses vs. Paul Slowinski (Poland/ Australia) 28 years old, 73 Wins 14 losses 1 draw. This is a Championship fight for Quartertones’ Super IFK Super heavyweight belt.

Brown vs. Kaennorsing

Clifton Brown (Canada / Jamaica) 33 years old, 31 wins 11 losses vs. Kaoklai Kaennorsing (Thailand) 26years old, 85 Wins 35 losses 5 draws and 1 no decision. This is a rematch for the WKC Super Light Heavyweight Belt.

Why You Should Watch

The saying that “Match Ups Make Fights ” was created because of fights like Quarterone vs. Slowinski. It is the classic match up between brash brawler and the veteran ring technician. If Quarteron is the George Forman of Muay Thai Slowinski is the Larry Holmes.

Controversy is nothing new in the fight game and Brown vs. Kaennorsing provides plenty of it. Their first fight ended in a controversial decision in favor of Kaennorsing. A result that many in the Muay Thai community disagreed with. This is a rematch that both fighters crave.

On October 8th and 9th, 2005, the Bushikai Bugei Dojo (located at 1209-H N. East Street, Frederick, Maryland,21701) will host a weekend seminar with the man known as the father of American Judo.

Phillip S. Porter began his Martial Arts Career in Boxing in 1943 at age 18. He was later a member of the West Point Boxing Team, and in 1950, Light Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the Western Area of the Air Training Command, USAF. He started Judo, JuJitsu, and Karate training in 1951 at Travis Air Force Base, California under Sensei Walter Todd. O-Sensei Porter graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1948, and served in the U.S. Air Force for 20 years, retiring as a Major in 1967. His leadership ability brought him many high positions in the Martial Arts.

O-Sensei Porter is called the “The Father of American Judo” because he helped found the United States Judo Association in 1954 and personally built it into the largest Judo organization in America, and the largest non-profit Martial Arts organization in the country over a period of 41 years. Now, he is called O-Sensei because he is in charge of teaching and watching over the rank promotions of thousands of his Black Belt students throughout the country in nearly 1,000 clubs of the United States Martial Arts Association.

O-Sensei Porter will be teaching in Frederick, Maryland on October 8th and 9th, 2005, at the Bushikai Dojo. There will be two sessions each day. Training is $ 120 for both days (inclusive). Different topics will be covered at each session. Day-rates are also available.

There will be a dinner banquet in honor of O-Sensei at Gabriel’s Inn. Gabriel’s Inn serves an outstanding French Cuisine in a French Country Inn atmosphere. Attire is Business Casual. Banquet Menu is preselected. Please email with your choice of Entree. Vegetarian meal is available.
