       JUST THE FACTS

At least two Canadian title bouts are scheduled to take place at the event.  Kickboxing P.E.I. Inc., president and head instructor of Team P.E.I. Kickboxing, Barry Ogg, promises an exciting night of family entertainment.

“Kickboxing is a very regulated and safe sport to compete in and all the coaches, judges, referees and officials are nationally certified,” said Ogg. “We have a skilled lineup of young athletes making their debuts at home right up to several national and international competitors and Canadian champions. 
 
“Anyone who has been to our previous shows knows what a Las Vegas-type feel we have at the Delta ballroom which gives our athletes and fans a fantastic memory and helps us to continue to build the sport on P.E.I. and across Canada.”
General admission tickets will be available at Atlantic Fitness Center locations as well as at the door.
