About Kickboxing
The kickboxing
curriculum we have is very different than the kickboxing styles
trained in the US. The style that was taught to Sam Marcellini by
Rob Kaman, a nine time world Thai Boxing champion- Originated from
the Mejiro gym in Holland. This is a very famous gym and known as
one of the best kickboxing schools in the world. Producing some of
the best champions in the world. The history of our style roots back
to Jan Plas (founder of Mejiro Gym) visiting Japan in 1975 and
Training with Sensei Kurosaki at his Dojo in Tokyo in Japan. Sensei
Kurosaki who was born in a traditional samurai family joined the
Yamuaguchi Karate style of Goju Rye, and trained there together with
Mas Oyama in 1953.
Oyama and Sensei
Kurosaki decided to make their own style and called it Kyokushin
kaikan. Mas Oyama was the one responsible for public relations. There
is a lot of myth surrounding Mas Oyama but Sensei Kurosaki who stayed
in the background, was the instructor and the real mean fighter. In
1976 Sensei Kurosaki broke away from Mas Oyama. He started his own
Dojo, the Mejiro Gym, (now called the Kurosaki Dojo), which quickly
became and still in one of the leading Japanese kickboxing gyms in
Japan.
Jan Plas of Holland was
very impressed with Kurosaki’s school and decided to stay there and
train. Opening his Mejiro Gym in Amsterdam, Holland in 1975, and it
was there that the new famous “Mejiro” style” was developed and
perfected. The style was tested and honed in many Muay-Thai fights in
Thailand, and many Mejiro Gym Students spend years training and
competing in Thailand to perfect the “Mejiro Style”. Sam Marcellini
studied under Rob Kaman who is the most well-known “Mejiro Style”
champion.
