Rancho Santa Margarita, CA (PRWEB) December 22, 2011

With long hair that earned him the nickname of ?Pony Boy,? Alan Kemp won three Golden Gloves Championships and 12 professional wins as a middleweight boxer in the 1970s. The current boxing coach for the Mixed Martial Arts Conditioning Association (MMACA), Kemp was recently inducted into the Buffalo Boxing Hall of Fame. Inductees are voted on by members of the Ring 44, the Buffalo Veteran Boxers Association.

Kemp started boxing at age nine and turned pro in 1972 with an 81-second knockout of Jimmy Jenkins. After retiring after many successful matches, Kemp wanted to stay with the sport he loved and became a trainer; he is currently a USA Boxing Coach based in Orange County, Calif.

?With Alan?s toughness, intelligence and dedication, we couldn?t ask for a better boxing coach for our certification program and we?re very proud of his induction into the Buffalo Boxing Hall of Fame,? said John Spencer Ellis, founder of the Mixed Martial Arts Conditioning Association.

The online MMACA certification program is designed for personal trainers, coaches, martial artists and MMA participants interested in acquiring both athletic and business skills required for successful mixed martial arts coaching, and Kemp focuses on the boxing portion of the program.

Kemp was Introduced to boxing by his father, who taught him self-defense skills after he was picked on by some neighborhood bullies. Kemp added, ?As a boxing coach, I strive to bring some of the same passion and dedication to the sport that my father did so generously. I didn?t know then that I wasn?t only training for boxing ? I was training for life. It is quite an honor for me to join such a distinguished array of boxers in the Buffalo Boxing Hall of Fame.?

Scottsdale, Arizona (PRWEB) November 06, 2011

The Valley?s newest nightclub, Dollhouse, will play host to DJ Reach, one of the country?s premiere house music DJs on Monday November 7th.

The Harlem-born DJ who made a name for himself as the official DJ for Last Call with Carson Daly will perform a full set of his signature house beats at the recently renovated club. After leaving his mark on the Las Vegas and New York City club scenes, DJ Reach will draw house music fans from throughout Arizona for his first appearance at the club.

Since opening its doors last month, Dollhouse has positioned itself as Old Town Scottsdale?s go-to destination for the hottest new house music in a laid-back ultra lounge setting. DJ Reach is the latest in a string of top DJ talent the club has attracted from around the world as it aims to become the go-to spot for Monday night party-goers.

DJ Reach has headlined at top clubs in Las Vegas like Tao as well hosted Playboy?s Super Bowl party and other major events, so playing a boutique nightclub with the lounge atmosphere offered by Dollhouse represents a change in pace for him. As one of Arizona?s smaller nightclubs?and one of the few that caters exclusively to house music fans?Dollhouse provides a more intimate atmosphere with less distance between the DJ and his fans.

The new lounge was built on the site of the old Crown Room, a fixture in the Entertainment District for many years. The team behind the club invested heavily in the sound, lighting, and layout in an attempt to upgrade the venerable location into a the valley?s best house music venue.

?We put close to $ 100,000 just into the sound and lighting systems alone because house music lovers pay attention to those things above all else,? said Dollhouse co-founder and Scottsdale nightlife empresario Chad Landau. ?In a small place like this, one of the best ways to attract top DJ talent is to have the best sound, the best lighting and the best atmosphere. The lineup of top house DJ talent that we?ve assembled for the next few months make me feel like those investments are already paying off.?

For the next several months, the club?s ?Industry Mondays? will feature some of the country?s best house music DJs. DJ Reach will go on at 10 pm on Monday November 7th with drink specials starting even earlier and lasting all night. Dollhouse never charges a cover charge, even on nights when they host top DJ talent.

?We?re not aiming to be the most exclusive nightclub in Scottsdale,? says Landau. ?We just want Dollhouse to be a fun and affordable club where house music fans can enjoy the best DJs in a slightly more upscale and sophisticated lounge environment.?
