Last weekend, Sakvan Arab made his debut in the A-class at Enfusion in Groningen. After an intense and spectacular battle, he lost by split decision. A result that shows just how close the fight was, it could have gone either way.

Although we had hoped for a win, we look back on Sakvan’s performance with pride. He proved he belongs in the A-class and gave the audience their money’s worth. It was a match full of determination, skill, and perseverance.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our supporters and sponsors. Your support allows Sakvan to chase his dream.

As the saying goes: sometimes you win, sometimes you learn. And this is just the beginning. A short four-day break, then we move on to the next challenge, Japan…

Starting Thursday, May 8, we’re introducing a new group class: Punch Bag Training with Music, from 8:10 PM to 9:00 PM.
This energetic and rhythmic workout focuses on building stamina, strength, and explosiveness – all set to motivating music. A powerful way to finish your Thursday!

To make room for this new class, the yoga session on Thursday evenings will move to an earlier time: 7:00 PM to 7:50 PM.

The Zumba class on Thursday evening will be discontinued. We hope you’ll be able to join one of the other available Zumba sessions at a time that suits you.

Thank you for your understanding and commitment. We look forward to seeing you in class!

Team Fight Game Academy

Sakvan Arab and Jakob Styben in Action at "Battle of Barock IV" in Fulda

This past Thursday, we traveled to Fulda, Germany, to take part in the kickboxing event Battle of Barock IV, organized by none other than Sergej Braun. The fights were held under WAKO-Pro rules – meaning no clinching or holding, and after three knockdowns, the fight is over.

Sakvan Arab Dominates in His Final B-Class Fight

Sakvan Arab appeared on the undercard and fought his final B-class bout against Damian Aurelian, an 18-year-old rising talent from Romania. The match consisted of three rounds of three minutes each. Sakvan showed from the start that he’s ready for the next level. He dominated the fight and remained unfazed by the knees to the head that Damian occasionally landed. With a convincing performance, Sakvan closes the B-class chapter and is ready for the A-class.

Jakob Styben Claims the WAKO-Pro European Title

The co-main event of the evening featured Jakob Styben. After completing his training camp at Fight Game Academy, Jakob stepped into the ring in Fulda with a strong team in his corner: coach Sem Schilt, trainer David Schiller, and cutwoman Laura Pinnecke.

Jakob fought for the WAKO-Pro European title against Mesud Selimovic from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Mesud entered the ring following a controversial win at Glory, while Jakob made his comeback after suffering a heavy knockout and a broken jaw.

The bout was fought at 88 kg and scheduled for five rounds of three minutes. Jakob controlled the center of the ring from the start and kept Mesud at bay. After a somewhat messy first round, Jakob regained focus and stuck more closely to the game plan. Mesud managed to bring some tension back in the final round, but Jakob deservedly took the win by split decision.

Looking Ahead: Enfusion Groningen

Both Jakob and Sakvan are now preparing for their next fights. Sakvan has something special ahead: his A-class debut at Enfusion on June 14 in Groningen. Want to be there? Tickets are available through the gym – and by purchasing through us, you directly support Sakvan, as a small percentage of the ticket sales goes toward his fight purse.

During the 24th edition of the Katsu Gala in Winsum, four fighters from the Fight Game Academy stepped onto the mat. It was an evening full of excitement, dedication, and unforgettable moments.

First up was Dia Stol, who faced Lindsay van Helden from Dordrecht. It was a well-fought match in which Lindsay ultimately had the upper hand.

Next, Maikon Schilt took on Oscar Bloemhof. A tough battle that even required an extra round, with Oscar eventually emerging victorious.

In the evening program, it was Alex van der Bel’s turn. He faced Jurgen van Ee in a spectacular match between two talented fighters. This time, Jurgen claimed the win. We’re curious to see who will come out on top next time.

Finally, Jacob Stol stepped up against Salvo Teodoro from Belgium. With extra pressure on his shoulders, Jacob managed to uphold the honor of the Fight Game Academy. He kept his opponent under constant pressure and secured a convincing victory.

A big thank you to our coaches Peter, Bart and Sakvan, as well as to the supporters who cheered us on so passionately.
