The Arlington Kickboxing Academy, headed by Pro Fighter Landon Showalter, presented their Arlington Submission Challenge V on Saturday, April 24th. Over 100 competitors from around the region took part in this growing tournament. Designed to push competitors to finish their matches via submissions versus a win on points alone, the athletes must push the pace thus providing for plenty of action.

The highlight of the day was the Absolute Division competition which was won by Kale Bradford (C3), who also pocketed 100 bucks put in by sponsor Lockflow.com.
