In Roseville, Mr. Dave Marinoble has dedicated his life to the Martial
Arts. Since his humble beginnings of Shaolin Kung Fu taught by his Grandfather,
Glen Richardson, Mr. Marinoble has always loved the martial arts. Mr.
Marinoble has been involved in the art of Modern Bok Fu for over 15 years,
earning his 4th Degree Black Belt from Master James Kane. He has also
earned his 3rd Degree Black Belt in Jujitsu, as awarded by Professor LL

Kung Fu by Sifu, Eddie Chong, and is currently studying Bak Mei Kung Fu
and the Inosanto style of Escrima Stick Fighting.
Mr. Marinoble is a genuine family man. His wife Elizabeth and his three
daughters, Adryana, Kristina, and Olivia, are a driving force in his life.
Mr. Marinoble enjoys spending time with his family, whether it's at home,
at church, or on the soccer field.
Mr. Marinoble has always put his heart into his training, and the awards
he has earned show. Not only has Mr. Marinoble earned many Black Belts;
he has also earned numerous local, state, national, and international
titles. Mr. Marinoble has represented the United States twice as a member
of the United States Sport Jujitsu Team helping propel the US team into
the top three in both competitions. Mr. Marinoble also won the Middle
Weight Continuous Point Fighting title in 1999 at the USA International
World Championships in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Mr. Marinoble is known in the kickboxing world as the "Mad Man." Given
the nickname because of his relentless style of fighting, Mr. Marinoble
has refined himself into one of the sport's most well known fighters,
and one of its best ambassadors. Since beginning to fight as an amateur
in the early 1990's, Mr. Marinoble had one goal in mind, to be the Professional
World Champion. Mr. Marinoble won the IKF United States Light Middleweight,
Middleweight, and Super Middleweight titles along with the USAK Middleweight
title before turning Professional.
Since
turning professional in 1998, Mr. Marinoble has torn through the Middleweight
division. He won his first professional title (IKF United States Middleweight
Title) in a 10 round unanimous decision over Larry Jarrett of Florida.
Mr. Marinoble won the IKF North American Middleweight title against Thomas
Downing of Canada on December 17,1999, on his way to his ultimate goal,
a World Title opportunity. Mr. Marinoble has since added the ISKA United
States San Shou title in a rematch of his only professional loss against
Rudi Ott of San Jose, CA. In July of 2000, Mr. Marinoble stepped into
the ring against Tommy "The Terminator" Kimber in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
After standing toe-to-toe for 7 rounds of back and forth action, Marinoble
let loose with a vicious combination sending Kimber to the canvas, thus
making himself the new IKF World Middleweight Champion.
