The TSUNAMI is coming!!!

By Peter Angerer

Dear fellow Martial Artists.

In December 2004 a big Tsunami hit Southeast Asia and killed app. 300.000 people in Sri Lanka, Thailand, Indonesia and India. Now, three years later, the media and the public has started to forget. We haven't! The people in these areas are still suffering and this is why we have initiated the 'TSUNAMI Fighting Championships' in Germany.

In short
Two days, four events in one big event, all income of ticket sells for this event will go directly to the Red Cross to aid the victims of the Tsunami

In detail
On June 30th and July 1st 2007 Shidokan Germany (www.shidokan.de) will host one of the biggest Grappling- and MMA-competitions so far in Central Europe. After hosting eight editions of the infamous 'Ultimate Grappling Challenge' (www.ultimate-grappling-challenge.com) we have the knowledge and manpower to establish one of the toughest No-Gi competitions all over the world. Besides the Grappling competition there will be also a World Amateur Grand Prix in MMA and an international Knockdown Karate Championship (German Shidokan Open). The event will be highlighted by an international MMA Pro event 'Fists of Fury 4: Rebirth!' (www.fists-of-fury.com), which will feature 12 MMA. All news and infos about this event can be found at www.tsunami-fc.com.

What can you do?
Besides competing in a world class competition for all levels? You can help us to help the victims! Spread the word about the competition, link the Tsunami website on your website or post the official tournament statement on your news sites and forums.

'The 'TSUNAMI Fighting Championships' will bring the 1st Open World Championships in Submission Wrestling of Shidokan Germany to the city of Stuttgart. Additionally there will be the 1st World Amateur Grand Prix in MMA and the 5th German Shidokan Open in Knockdown Karate at this event. So this event will showcase different aspects of the Mixed Martial Arts in one big event, which will aid the victims of the horrible Tsunami disaster in 2004 (read more about it here).

After multiple successfull international tournaments and galas of Shidokan Germany, e.g. the annual Ultimate Grappling Challenge and Fists of Fury we have decided to take the sport one step further in central Europe and host the biggest Grappling- and MMA-Tournament so far in our country. Champions and veterans of high class international shows as PRIDE, ADCC, UFC, Shooto Japan, Pancrase Japan, King of the Cage and many many others have competed so far in our events!

You will find all necessary info about this event here [109 KB] in our info package, plus you can read all additional info here on our website. We have also added an online registration form for each discipline in the info section of this website, so you can easily register online to compete.'

ALL income of ticket sales for this event will be collected by the Red Cross (official staff) and will be used to aid the victims of the big TSUNAMI in 2004. So it's not about the big Dollar for the promoter but about to help those who suffered dramatically. We hope we will find your support in any way, either as a competitor or as a supporter/sponsor.

TFC 7 - Red Rumble: March 23rd, 7:30 PM, Memorial Hall, Kansas City, KS

The "Titan Fighting Championship" returns to Memorial Hall in Kansas City Kansas, live March 23rd at 7:30 p.m. with TFC 7 – Red Rumble. PROFESSIONAL Mixed Martial Arts in Kansas City live inside the six sided cage. The event will crown the first ever TFC Champions. TFC 6 - The Return will consist of 10 electrifying bouts featuring Lee Gibson, LC Davis, Bobby Voelker, Dominic Brown, Jason Teeman, Derrick Ripley, John Cornett, Rob Kimmons, and UFC veteran's Tony "The Freak" Fryklund and Curtis Stout.

Titan Entertainment is breaking ground in the rapidly growing industry of Mixed Martial Arts (“MMA”) with the Titan Fighting Championship (“TFC”) television series which will combine the gritty reality of the MMA events with the theatrical aspect of World Wrestling Entertainment (“WWE”). The first episode of the TFC, The Red Rumble 2007 Fighting Tour, will be shot in Kansas City, Missouri on March 23, 2007. DJ Hurricane of The Beastie Boys will spin tunes for the Red Rumble Extreme After-Party at Harrah’s Voodoo Lounge and adult film star, Brittany Andrews, will be on hand to sign the Women of TFC posters.

While the WWE is known for its pre-staged theatrics, the MMA is popular because professional fighters from different disciplines are pitted against each other without pre-determined outcomes. Titan Entertainment’s TFC series will combine the best of both worlds by surrounding unpredictable professional competitions with a plush VIP events, celebrity appearances and the beautiful and entertaining Women of TFC.

Titan Entertainment will kick off the Red Rumble 2007 Fighting Tour with a regional model search in association with Entercom Broadcasting in Kansas City and two of its radio stations, 610 AM Sports and 98.9 FM The Rock. The Women of TFC contest will be hosted by Harrah’s Voodoo Lounge on March 2, 2007. Brittany Andrews, the honorary “First Woman of TFC,” and the contest winners will participate in the pilot, appear in a promotional Woman of TFC poster and attend the after-party to personalize the posters.

But the March 23rd pilot is just the beginning. Titan Entertainment plans to shoot an additional ten events in 2007 for the Red Rumble Tour. For 2008, they’re developing Battle Of The Titans, an international championship tournament open to all professional fighters regardless of their promoter affiliation. They hope to have world-class competition and grand prize money that will reflect the level of the first Titan World Champions.

“We’re working to create several qualifying tournaments around the United States with the final event taking place in either Las Vegas or Atlantic City,” says Joe Kelly, President of Titan Entertainment. "We’re in the early stages, but were committed to making this a reality and hope to be partnered with a major television network. We’re confident that the grand prize amount could be at a level never before seen at a MMA tournament, which is a sure way to draw gladiators from across the globe,” says Kelly. “Now that would be fun.”
