Photographer Ron Sombilon shoots Tiger Balm March 2012 for the sport clothing line RYU – Respect Your Universe. RYU came to Tiger Balm 2012 to show the love, and honour martial arts by documenting the competitors and action on the mats.
Tiger Balm is such a great event that should be a part of the path of every aspiring martial artist. It’s an annual two day event that brings together a great number of different disciplines, from Kung-fu, and weapons, to Kata, Pankration, and kickboxing. It’s for every category of age and experience, from tyke to tough guy, and of course, girl.
What has always impressed me about Tiger Balm is how it is an event made for the regular people that go to the dojos and gyms to test their skills in safely organized and credibly judged combat. Tiger Balm encapsulates the great diversity and quality of the local martial arts scene, with only a few exceptions. The people who compete bring all their passion and love for what they do and then they go hard. Some get a battle scar, some win, some lose, but they all learn something about themselves in the process.

Fight Results
| 1 | Shelley Strachan | Def. | Megan Williams | Womens Kickboxing. Strachan got the win by unanimous judges decision. A great opening match to King of the Rock 3. Williams and Strachan are both well known to the local scene and for the large crowd in attendance kicked things off with a very good fast paced fight. |
| 2 | Colin Butts | Def. | Tyler Mertens | Amateur MMA match. A great matchup for two young local mma fighters. Colin Butts gets a win by referee stoppage due to ground and pound, in round 2. While the end was decisive, Tyler Mertens showed great technique that has to be noted. The front kick is the most elementary martial art technique and also the most underrated. Mertens used front kicks very effectively throughout the match, paring them with notable jab and uppercut combinations. Colin Butts did manage to get through to Mertens and draw first blood on him, and a sizeable amount of it that cause the fight Doctor to almost call the fight right there. The fight ended when Colin Butts worked out of Tyler Mertens headlock to get the dominant position on the mat to bring the fight to a decisive finish. |
| 3 | Marty Wise | Def. | Matt Shannon | Amateur MMA. Marty Wise wisely finished the fight early. After blows landing on target and a short ground fight for position, Wise easily coaxed the lesser experienced Shannon over to take his back to get into a submission by rear naked choke. |
| 4 | Johnathan Dubois | Def. | Dave Koliwski | Exhibition Boxing. Johnathan Dubois showed off what a threat he can be as a boxer in this exhibition match. Despite being well outmatched for height and reach, Dubois got inside on Koliwski, knocking him down for a first, second, then third time which finally and decisively led to the referee stoppage. Dubois then knocked down Koliwski hard for the third time in round 1 and was awarded TKO by referee stoppage. |
| 4 | Dillon Brown | & | Lee Muller | Exhibition Kickboxing. Dillon Brown, showed his skills as a fighter by working the pocket fearlessly in a flowing exhibition match against Lee Muller of Canada’s Best Karate. |
| 6 | Scott Judson | Def. | Mike Downey | Amateur Kickboxing / Muay Thai. The story goes that some time ago, Scott Judson saw Mike Downey wearing a championship belt in a bar after one of his wins. Judson told Mike Downey then and there that he wanted that belt! While that particular belt wasn’t on the line at King of the Rock 3, Judson and Downey did agree to throw down over a belt, and that is how they came to be matched for the main card. Knowing Downey’s reputation as a fighter already holding several championship titles, not to mention his very recent return from a training camp in Thailand, most people would have bet on the experienced Downey over Judson, the cocky local. Problem is, nobody told Judson he couldn’t win the fight, and nobody told his numerous fans in the crowd either. Inside the ring, Judson got Downey in round 1 with a sweep and the crowd went wild. Mike Downey did a great deal to shore up his scorecard in round two, sweeping Judson twice and taking the fight to him. But round 3 gave Judson the opportunity to beat Downey with power and accuracy, knocking him down once, and then finally a second time. Downey got hit hard in there, and not having the ability to get up it would bring an end the fight by TKO. Its a bit of a surprise victory, even a bit of an upset. Judson did all he could to impress and made sure the decision wasn’t left up to the judges. |
