SFLC Kickboxing Podcast: Irv Althouse and Jen Heffentrager of USKA Fights
This week on the SFLC Podcast, Ryan Sprague is joined by Jen Heffentrager and Irv Althouse of USKA Fights to further discuss the world of Kickboxing and Muay Thai and to review their upcoming card in Allentown, PA on October 21st.
Althouse talks about how he got the promotion started more than 17 years ago and some of the challenges and struggles that have come with getting the martial art that he cares so passionately about, approved by state athletic commissions for sanctioning. He is a seventh-degree black belt and has broken 72 20-pound concrete blocks with one strike. To say he has a wealth of experience is an understatement.
Heffentrager talks about the willingness of fighters and coaches to work with various rule systems, while allowing for perfecting matchmaking that lead to quality fights.
