Pro Muay Thai Fight - Shin Do Kumate XVI at Bradenton, Florida

Muay Thai Fight Friday, October 9 at Bradenton Area Convention Center – The producers of Shin Do Kumaté announce their 16th televised event to be held in Bradenton, Florida on Friday, October 9th, 2015 at the Bradenton Area Convention Center. Shin Do Kumaté is a professional fight sport with athletes that represent strong character traits that have always been a true representation of Martial Artists for centuries. Those traits are humility, honor and respect toward each other, as well as their teachers. The fighting style is similar to Muay Thai fight, which originated in Thailand and is better known to many North Americans as Thai Boxing.

Professional male and female fighters from around the world are hand-selected by Master Mehrdad K. Moayedi, the founder of Shin Do Kumaté and CEO of MKM Knockout Promotions, LLC. Bouts are fought in a standard boxing ring wearing standard boxing gloves. There is no grappling permitted as in cage fighting events, but rather fast-paced stand up fighting consisting of high-impact and technical skills.

Master Mehrdad has a strong reputation in the Martial Arts industry. As a professional fighter himself, he draws the respect of athletes and has the wherewithal to produce an exciting show based on his ability to match fighters and his years of experience as a Martial Arts practitioner, fighter, and trainer.

Although Mixed Martial Arts has developed a mainstream audience, its audience is limited to a narrow demographic of males ages 18 to 34 with mainly male audience. Shin Do Kumaté draws a broader audience of male and female spectators ages 12 to 57 with 35% female audience and maintains a strong cross-over appeal from Boxing, Wrestling, and Mixed Martial Arts fans. As an event that has a strong presence overseas, Shin Do Kumaté is becoming more and more popular in the U.S. with a growing sponsorship appeal to Corporate America. For those who have never experienced a Shin Do Kumaté fight, it’s an event you do not want to miss.
