Life - Freedom - Balance - Risk - Passion!
KnovaSports was born out of a passion for the sporting life by a group of men and women who had experienced Freedom through Passion
, had taken the risks but did not have balance in their lives. The past decade has been a search to get that balance, a balance
in recreational and participation sports. KnovaSports has been developed on a number of levels, for the enthusiast, for
the participant and for the professional. With that in mind we look at the recreational and participation elements of
sports and activities we have under our umbrella. KnovaSports has come into being with the principles of Knovamind
- aware that life is a balancing act.
The sports under our umbrella are those that we believe challenge us mentally and physically. KnovaSports initial vision
came from athletes from many diverse fields; Surfing, Sking, Rugby League and Union, Kickboxing, Triathlon and Jiu-Jitsu
to name a few. What we all had in common as competitors and fans was we were on the periphery of so much and in a position
to be but pawns in a system. We needed balance and in that situation it wasn?t possible. With that in mind for the
professional we empower you through support, sponsorship, life management and goal creation and achievement. For the fan or
enthusiast we put you in the competitor?s world, we try to cover what you want to see and hear without the trimmings of
commercialism. We want you to feel what we felt - and some of us still do as competitors with passion!
Participation
KnovaSports has concentrated it?s involvement in two areas with regard to active participation in management and sponsorship,
they are;
- Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)
- Rugby Football
Mixed Martial Arts
In MMA, KnovaSports supports and promotes it?s own team;
KnovaFight which includes some of the best martial artists in
the world. Household names like Kimo and Millis bring KnovaFight to the fore. In addition to the fighting world we
work with our partners at
KnovaLife in physical and psychological coaching. This has proven to be a tremendous success with both the professional and the KnovaLife member benefiting from the
passing of knowledge and the focus and discipline that entails continues to strengthen the team.
Martial Arts is one of the most challenging and passionate individual pursuits known to man - it?s history going back thousands of years.
Legends abound from a multitude of cultures. The mental strength of these competitors continues to astound us - it is a learned behavior and as
such can be passed onto others. For more on KnovaFight please click on the icon to the left.
Rugby
In Rugby, KnovaSports supports the two major Rugby Codes - Rugby League and Rugby Union as well as Touch Football, or
Touch as it is
now known. Rugby is recognized as one of the leading sporting codes in the world, unparallelled with any others with regard to the
common bond between nations, race, class or religon within the sport. It is a sport to be enjoyed at the highest of physical challenge
or simply as a romp in the park with your mates!
KnovaSports has established a seperate entity - KnovaRugby - after being
commissioned to develop a Rugby competition in the USA to allow the game to flourish for both fan and player alike. These are
certainly interesting times in Rugby when we have the Rugby World Cup quickly approaching and the Australian
National Rugby League (NRL) is earning plaudits throughout the world for it?s athleticism and passion.

Recreation
Whilst we at KnovaSports still like to have a run of touch or grapple with the best of them, recreationally we have devided the site into
Participation and Recreation so as to delinate where we are currently involved on the competitive side and where we are still just
enthusiasts and fans! In time we plan to be involved more directly with these sports - presently members of our KnovaFight Team
coach and mentor participants of these other sports through our KnovaLife partnership. Additionally this is not an exhaustive list of sports
and we are sure more will be added. It has been brought to our attention that some of the sports we have chosen to follow are not
extreme or untraditional. This may be so but they do embody the passion and ideals we seek - not to say many we haven?t chosen
do not either!
Surfing World
Surfing has flowed through several generations of surfer and surfboard. It powers on, despite every style genre tweak, every weird-air freak
show and mega-wave adventure, to redefine itself era after era, adapting to each with incredible vitality.
The 1964 classic movie
The Endless Summer opened up a whole new realm of surfing experiences to the masses - it showed the wonderlust
that natures provides. The movie introduced the world to many, the adventures were filmed in Senegal, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, Hawaii and California.
Today surfing still continues to open up new world?s and adventures - from the weekend surfer to the tour professional. There is nothing like the lure of the ocean, the sand and surf! Just click on the image on the left and check

In the Skate Zone we take you to the sport and to the lifestyle - all the stuff that keeps you going back to it! We cover,
Street Skating
- skating on streets, curbs, benches, handrails and other elements of urban and suburban landscapes;
Vert Skating - skating on ramps and other vertical structures specifically designed for skating;
Vert Ramp - a half-pipe, usually at least 8 feet tall, with steep sides that are perfectly vertical near the top and
Half Pipe - a U-shaped ramp of any size, usually with a flat section in the middle. Boards, inline and speed skating are all here.
Skating has become the mainstay of everything from the
X Games to the Vans Warped tour - it is becoming hard for a free expressive sport such as
skating to remain so. Just click on the image on the left and check
