your picture looks too noisy . . .
That's the K-x. The K5 is better.

. . . and a bit blurred
With this kind of shot, I like the extremities a bit blurred
to give a sense of the motion.

But what I really want to get is that "sport magazine cover" shot (sighs) or at least I want to "freeze" action.
Sports magazine cover shots are usually in locations
with radio-fired strobes built in to the lighting,
by photographers who can use the correct frequency to trigger the strobes.

Prefocusing is great when you can predict the key spot(s) for the most interesting moments. I found it difficult to ask a fighter for doing "high kick in that corner, please"
If you know the sport and the players,
you should be able to predict the action,
the way a good referee does.

my distance from the action is usually from 5 to 12 meters (16 to 50 feet approx) so people at that distanse are still quite a big target for focus point. Using center focus point there should be no problems (I hope).
With the K5 and 70mm, there probably will be. The K-3 should be better.

Or find a 85mm f1.4 lens
Or a 135m F1.8, both of these lens work quite well with Indoor sports.
