The 3 Kickboxing bouts were just what the crowd was looking for, blood and knockouts. All three fights ended by TKO. The 3 boxing matches were a nice change to the night. Giving all kinds of fight fans a taste of there favorite styles.

The five MMA bouts were definitely the icing on the cake, for the high energy show. Three of the MMA fights went all 3 rounds and were non-stop action from the first to the last bell.

WINTER WARS
Successfully Deploys
Fans Witnessed a Carpet Bombing of Action in Augusta, Georgia, USA


IKF/ISCF Augusta, Georgia, USA
Just as readers of the IKF and ISCF news pages were told, Winter Wars 2005 fired and hit the mark. No one looking for outstanding kickboxing and mixed martial arts action left Fort Gordon (Augusta Georgia, USA) disappointed. From the junior kickboxing matches to the professional bouts, the level of competition and excitement was sky-scraping! The attitude of fellowship and camaraderie between the competitors and fans was also an important element of Winter Wars' success. Sportsmanship was displayed everywhere. The families and, in particular, the children of deployed soldiers who attended Winter Wars as guests, were able to witness the type of attitude that the martial arts are designed to generate.

This was topped off by awards for citizenship and sacrifice being given to citizen-soldier, Hon. Bobby Christine and wounded narcotics investigator Greg Meagher, as well as the honorary third degree black belt bestowed upon Viet Nam veteran and valued IKF and ISCF Team member, Jerry Smith.

It would be impossible to credit all of the folks who helped make this another outstanding Winter Wars event. Some interesting highlights of the night included University of Georgia law student and Hardcore Gym protégé, Dustin Kirby, putting down the books and prevailing in his MMA bout. XPE Martial Arts of Atlanta established itself as a force to be reckoned with in American rules kickboxing. The Miller family, two sons and their father, all won bouts on the card. Venerated kickboxing trainer, Ben Kiker of United Karate Systems showed unequivocally that his program is still deserving of the respect that it has always garnered. And newcomers to IKF and ISCF events, Sun Tzu Martial Arts of Jolleton, Tennessee, showed that they came willing to fight, as did the always formidable fight team from Velocity in Atlanta. Head officials Gary Brown and George Allen also impressed with their professionalism and effectiveness as third men in the ring.

The night culminated in a professional IKF American Rules kickboxing bout between ISCF U.S. Champion, Cam McHargue and hometown hero Stevie Dement of Augusta. Dement's power and boxing skills were met well by McHargue's impressive display of precise aerial, whirling and commanding kicks. The array of McHargue's kicks and their accuracy literally had fans jaws dropping. So did Dement's ability to survive them and continue fighting. The consensus of those who witnessed the epic main event was that this battle was worthy of pay-per-view and was reminiscent of some of the great kickboxing contests of all time. Dement versus McHargue begs for a rematch and for these great athletes to continue to receive opportunities to fight. Information on how to obtain photos and a DVD of Winter Wars 2005 will be in the IKF and ISCF page soon.

IKF and ISCF want to thank Elizabeth Carlson, in particular, for all of her efforts in coordinating such an outstanding event. We are proud of Elizabeth, her husband Mike and the entire team at Augusta Martial Arts Academy for exceeding expectations, once again. Here are the results from Winter Wars 2005, held on Saturday, February 26, 2005.

Princess Meehan
Scores TKO IN Pro Debut!
Colorado, USA

IKF Colorado, USA
According to three time IKF National Amateur Champion Katie Meehan, "It was a big win for me.. TKO, It was awesome. Couldn't have been better!" That's for sure. What a way to start a pro career which took place a couple weeks back in Colorado.

Meehan's opponent, Sher Noah claimed to be 16-0 as an amateur boxer and 1-3 as a pro boxer, but none of that experience did much to help her. In the second round, Sher turned her back to Meehan and when she turned back around, Meehan landed a great attack of punch and kicks to her stomach and at 1:10 of the round the bout was over.

As in many previous Boxer vs Kickboxer match-ups, the outcome was the same, kickboxer win, Boxer lose as Sher just could not stand toe to toe with the experienced Meehan. The bout was fought under Pro International rules however Sher insisted upon wearing shinpads, a big NO in Pro Kickboxing. However somehow, those in charge allowed Sher to wear them. Needless to say, it didn't help her. Sher looked anything but an experienced boxer as Meehan took her apart with her hand combinations. Sher was able to land one good shot to Meehan's jaw but that was about it.

Meehan won the 2001 IKF USA National Amateur Tournament IR Flyweight title when she defeated Tracy Kuschel of Omaha, Nebraska by unanimous decision, 29-28, 30-28 & 30-28.

At the 2002 IKF National Amateur Tournament she successfully defended her 2001 IR Title by defeating Tamie Lankey of Alexandria, Virginia by unanimous decision 29-27, 29-27 & 30-26.

In 2003 no women challenged Meehan for her National title so she switched rule styles and entered the Muay Thai Rules Bantamweight division. However she became the only walkover winner of the 2003 National Amateur Tournament when both her opponents, Alison Moore (2002 IR Champion) of New York, New York, USA and Alona Kipp of Casper, Wyoming, USA were both no shows at the event.

Although not confirmed, it was possible Williams did not show because of the massive power outage in the north/east USA and parts of Canada that shut down many airports (Including New York) on Thursday before the event that year. We look forward to Princess Meehan's next big fight!

Nicole Hess...
One Of Nation's Best Kickboxers
Portions Of This Article From
The Connection Newspapers Sports Roundup By Rich Sanders February 3, 2005



Linda Loyce

Seventeen year-old Mi-Ki-DO champion Nicole Hess, (Right with father/trainer Mike Hess) an Alexandria (Virginia) resident and senior at Lake Braddock High School has had a very successful Kickboxing Career. Hess was voted `Female Fighter of the Year' in 2004 (by another organization) when she went unbeaten and won seven titles in different organizations of the women's division. Those titles were: King of the Rings 8 Muay Thai Title (women); IKF Lightweight Full Contact Title (women); WKA USA Lightweight Full Contact Title (women); WKA USA Eastern Regional Lightweight Muay Thai Title (women); WKA USA Welterweight Kickboxing Title (women); WKA USA Lightweight Muay Thai Title (women); WKA North American Title (women) and the IKF North American Full Contact Rules Lightweight Title (women).

Hess' season will continue on March 12 in Fresno, California where she will compete against Linda Loyce (Left) from Fairtex Gym in California. Loyce, who recently won a gold medal at the World Championships in Thailand, is one of the top fighters in the 125-pound weight division and is currently ranked No. 2 in the IKF World Rankings and No. 5 in the WIKBA rankings.

Hess has grown as an athlete and a person through her years of competing in Mi-Ki-Do. "Being involved in Mi-Ki-Do has helped me in many ways," said Hess. "I have learned to have self-discipline and respect for others and myself. It also enables me to set goals for myself and accomplish them in many ways through hard work and perseverance." She is not at all intimidated about competing in a mostly male sport. "I think it's pretty neat being a girl in a mostly man environment," said Hess. "In some ways, I feel that I have to work harder to prove that I can `hang' with the boys, and they're very respectful to me. Also, they are the ones that push me the most and get the most out of me in my training."

Nicole is coached by her father, Master Mike Hess. "I never really minded my dad being my coach because in training I see him as my coach and at home he's my dad," said Nicole. "If anything, I feel like it's my benefit to have my dad as my coach because he expects more out of me and pushes me harder to be the best that I can be. ...My father has definitely influenced me the most in martial arts. He has basically taught me everything I know and always been by my side to motivate me and help me reach the top. There hasn't been one time where he's given up on me and I know that he will always be there for me. He puts his whole heart and soul into what he does and I admire his dedication and devotion to the sport, to his students and especially to me."

ROCKFORD
Reaching the top in any professional sport is a challenge, and it's rarely a quick and easy path. Rockford's Bryce Frank (Right) has found that to be the case during his climb in the International Kickboxing Federation's Muay Thai world rankings. Franck is currently ranked 12th in the world (IKF: Now #11) in the heavyweight division after starting his career with three wins and a loss. His lone loss came in a 2002 bout when he blew out his knee early in the fight. And that was still a close decision. And it all started in a little bar in Chicago back in 1998.

"I had been in martial arts my whole life, but my first real kickboxing fight was in a bar in Chicago. I went in and knocked out their house champ in 51 seconds, and that was that," the 29-year-old Winnebago County corrections officer said. "But I quickly learned that this is a sport that takes a lot of skill. It's not just all guts like a lot of people say." Franck's rocket climb started when he tracked down trainer/manager/fighter Duke Roufus -- a four-time world champ -- and became one of his prized pupils. Widely considered one of the best trainers in the world, Roufus taught Franck how to train the right way, and it has paid off.

One of Franck's bouts was taped for pay-per-view television and one was taped for a movie, though neither has been released as of yet. But he is clearly making a name for himself, both in Rockford and around the globe. He has instructed -- along with four other police officers from the area -- for three years at the Nikko-Ki Training Club (4910 Hydraulic Road) and has gotten just as much out of helping others learn the trade as he has taking down some of the sport's stars. "That's what's great about this sport," Franck said. "I mean, I love the competing side of it, or I wouldn't be doing it. But I really love training others in kickboxing, and watching them make progress and get as much out of it as I do. I've seen lawyers, pilots, retired people, whatever, come into our class and pretty soon become Muay Thai kickboxing fanatics."

Franck trains six days a week for between one and three hours per session. He has broken down his routine into two phases -- skill training and conditioning -- although he does not work out with weights like many of today's athletes. And with each bout taking between three and five 3-minute rounds, all that training comes into play at some time during each showdown. "At times it's grueling," Franck said. "Especially when a fight is approaching, you really have to turn it up a notch." But he wouldn't trade his lifestyle for anything. And there are others around who appreciate his work as well. "I've seen Bryce fight four or five times, and he's impressive," said Gabe Wassner, one of Franck's students, and an instructor at Nikko-Ki Training Club. "But his knowledge and his ability to pass it on is what is special about him. I've learned a lot from Bryce, and nobody I'll ever get in the ring with will hit as hard or kick as hard as he does."

In November, Franck knocked out his last opponent, the seventh-ranked (IKF: Now #12) heavyweight in the world Mark Miller, in 1:38 in Milwaukee. He has set his sights on continuing his climb to the top, and his next stop will be in Rockford when he has another International Kickboxing Federation bout at Giovanni's restaurant on May 6. His opponent is still to be determined, but he says it doesn't matter.

"I don't care who it is," he said. "It's just another victim as far as I'm concerned. I got into this sport to test myself, not to beat people up or to win trophies. But I go out each time with the mindset that I'm in this to win, and nothing else will do."

Contender Fighter
Commits Suicide


Middleweight boxer Najai Turpin, a contestant on the upcoming NBC boxing reality series "The Contender," has taken his own life in Philadelphia, according to the NY Times. Turpin was 23 years of age and had a record of 13-1. The series will go on as planned March 7 and NBC executives say Turpin's segments are expected to air as scheduled.

By DAVID B. CARUSO, Associated Press Writer:
PHILADELPHIA (AP): A promising young boxer who got the break of a lifetime when he was chosen to compete on NBC's upcoming reality TV program "The Contender'" has committed suicide. Najai Turpin shot himself in the head early Monday while sitting with his girlfriend in a parked car outside the West Philadelphia gym where he trained, police said. Investigators were unsure why the 23-year-old fighter took his life. "None of us really know what brought this about,'" Percy "Buster" Custus, a trainer who had worked with Turpin since he was 12, said Tuesday. "You just want to see the boys come out of the neighborhood. From the time they're young kids, you really want to see them make it. And he was right there."

Custus said the boxer had enjoyed his experiences with the show but seemed troubled in recent weeks. He said Turpin abruptly left a training camp in the Poconos and returned home to Philadelphia, saying he missed his family. Turpin had a 13-1 record and had won a city Recreation Department title before he was picked for "The Contender." A biography on the show's Web site called him an "extremely soft-spoken'" but focused fighter who worked two day jobs to support his family. "You would never know he was a fighter," Custus said. "He was a tough guy in the ring. He was a vicious fighter. But outside the ring he was a different man." NBC released a statement from the show Producer and reality TV mogul Mark Burnett in which he called Turpin "A great fighter with tremendous heart and courage."

2004
IKF NAC Champ
Savoy
To Defend NAC Title

2004 IKF/TKO North American Champion Floyd Savoy (Right) of San Francisco, California, USA made it official this past Saturday. Savoy has registered and he "WILL" be in Orlando to defend his title at the 2005 IKF North American Classic. Savoy joins David Lowrey as the earliest two fighters to ever register for the yearly Tournament.

The IKF would like to offer an apology to David Lowrey. Lowrey registered in January for the 2005 NAC. in the article posted about him being first to register, we noted that he was registered but did not show up to the 2004 Tournament, possibly due to the Hurricane which stranded the other Florida fighters. However, when his registration was sent in here to the IKF Offices, it was actually a fighters registration for rankings, not for the NAC Tournament. During the rush of things, his name was mistakenly placed on the fighters list for the 2004 NAC. Sorry about that David. Instead, 2005 will be Lowrey's first IKF tournament.

Floyd Savoy won the 2004 IKF/TKO North American IR Super Middleweight title when he defeated Ronell Huston of Detroit, Michigan, USA by TKO at 1:55 of round 2.

Lowrey and Savoy are both the earliest fighter to ever register for the event that will be held at the Wyndham Palace Resort in Orlando Florida this year as last year. Good luck to both of you!

  2. IKF Amateur Super Middleweight International Rules Kickboxing
    Ryan Clark     (Farrell's USMA, Des Moines, IA) Vs. Sean Huffman (Militech Fight Systems, Davenport, IA.).

Clark connected with a spinning backfist to Huffman's head in the second round forcing a standing eight count by referee Mike Storm.

    Sam Winberg     (3-0 , Higdon's Hitmen, Waterloo, IA) Vs. Jason Medina (Militech Fight Systems, Davenport, IA.).
    Sam Winberg and Jason Medina met in the ring for Winberg's fourth fight and Medina's first. This back and fourth fight was reflected by split rounds and a split decision. Winberg was skilled at effective body and leg shots, but Medina used his evasion skills to slip past many head shots. Medina's power helped him to take the victory in the end.

  4. IKF Amateur Light Cruiserweight International Rules Kickboxing
    Able Mahaffey     (Farrell's USMA, Des Moines, IA) vs. Jeff Brooks (Mick Doyle's Martial Arts Center, Omaha, NE).
    Wow! First time fighters Able Mahaffey and Jeff Brooks had an amazing fight. Both had very different skills. Mahaffey used a select few weapons and targets (primarily effective hooks and punches to the body) while Brooks used a variety of weapons to a variety of targets. Mahaffey was able to back Brooks up several times into the ropes or the corner, but Brooks didn't succumb to the pressure and was able to fight his way out every time. A jump roundkick to Brooks' face and several punches left his nose bleeding, but he never dropped. During the final round, both were fighting for the win.

Round 2 obviously went to Kuhl with a successful kick and spinning backfist to Camacho's head. In round 3, both fighters wanted to prove they deserved the win. By the sound of the last bell, there was nothing left in the tank of either fighter. Kuhl was given the unanimous decision.

  6. IKF Amateur Light Heavyweight International Rules Kickboxing
    Jason Burroughs     (Higdon's Hitmen, Waterloo, IA) Vs. Dave Robbins (Militech Fight Systems, Davenport, IA.).
    The fight started with Burroughs using powerful hooks to try to stop Robbins, but Robbins disciplined style allowed him to center on Burroughs's body. Robbins used leg kicks in the second round but otherwise the round consisted of calm exchanges. In the third round, Robbins targeted Burroughs head. Burroughs turned his body as Robbins delivered another blow dropping Burroughs and winning by TKO as referee Mike Storm stopped the bout at 1:26 in the 3rd round.

  7. IKF Amateur Super Middleweight International Rules Kickboxing
    Nate Mohr     (5-1, Cedar Valley Pro Fitness, Cedar Valley, IA) Vs. Josh Neer (DSM.).
    Although the kickboxing record of this bout seemed one-sided, Neer's experience in the ring with MMA allowed this to be a much anticipated fight. The crowd was not disappointed as this was a good match up of two very skilled fighters. With strong exchanges to the body by both fighters, neither fighter showed any effects and the fight could have been judged even at the end of round 2. In the 3rd round Mohr continued with a vicious body attack delivering a roundkick to the ribs of Neer forcing Neer to drop to a knee and receive an eight count. Mohr was able to finish the round by evading many of Neer's advances as Neer tried to earn back the point. Mohr won by unanimous decision.

  9. IKF Amateur Middleweight International Rules Kickboxing
    Joey Beyer     (2-1, Farrell's USMA, Des Moines, IA) Vs. Maxsim Scherbiy (1-0, Mick Doyle's Martial Arts Center, Omaha, NE).
    Beyer began the fight as the aggressor with hard punches, but Scherbiy was able to back off Beyer with continuous leg kicks. In round two, Beyer gave a strong spinning backfist followed by a flurry of punches. Scherbiy maintained his composure and was able to turn it around with a series of unanswered punches to the tiring Beyer resulting in a standing eight count.

SAN SHOU
ADDED To
2005
IKF North American Classic!
In Orlando, Florida, USA

Over the last 2 months we have had an overwhelming amount of e-mails requesting we add the San Shou Rules division to the 2005 IKF North American Classic in Orlando Florida. After discussing this with many of our San Shou associates we have made the decision to do so. However, there are some differences we had to make to add San Shou. They include:

  1. Due to the few San Shou Officials and event Promoters, San Shou will not be offered at any of the "Regional Tournaments".

  2. ALL San Shou Participants Must Be a minimum of 16 Years Old. There are no Junior Divisions (Ages 8-16) for San Shou This Year but if the adult division is a success and we see there are enough Junior San Shou fighters out there, we will possibly add a Junior San Shou division for 2005.

  3. Since we will not be able to see any of the San Shou fighters at any Regional events, ALL San Shou seeding will be done by OPEN DRAW. This means each registered participant will be placed in their registered weight division on the Registration page. After weigh-ins at the 2005 NAC, all registered fighters names will be placed into a bowl and the seeding will be determined by public draw.

  4. SAFETY Equipment will be required as in all IKF San Shou matches which include the "General" equipment items (Gloves, mouthpiece, cup etc.) plus Headgear and shin pads.

  5. Must be 4 fighters in a division to make a division.



IKF San Shou History
To be perfectly honest, the IKF added San Shou sanctioning after seeing San Shou great Cung Le fight is a match called DRAKA (Which was just another name at the time for San Shou by a Russian Promoter) There were several DRAKA events and all were available on PayPer view back in the early 90's. IKF President Steve Fossum was the ring announcer on all but 1 of them and saw close up how Le was able to throw his opponent around like a rag doll. It was then that Fossum and IKF Cofounder Dan Stell decided they wanted the IKF to be a part of this exciting sport. However, in the beginning, it wasn't so much Cung Le that kept IKF in the San Shou focus, it was the winning ways of a fighter named Rudi Ott.

The IKF started sanctioning San Shou on March 20th, 1999 at the Vallejo Fair Grounds in Vallejo, California, USA. The event was promoted by IKF Promoter Tim Stell of Fairfield, California. In the first ever, official IKF San Shou Rules Bout, Shawn Salmons of San Jose, California, USA defeated Alan Kanig of New York, New York, USA by TKO in round 1. In the second IKF San Shou bout Marvin Perry of Boston, Massachusetts, USA defeated Adam Resnick of New York, New York, USA by HEAD Kick KO at :22 seconds of round 2.

Next came the Pro San Shou division. The first Pro San Shou bout was an IKF title bout and featured Al Loriaux of Boston, Massachusetts vs Sean Douglas of Toledo, Ohio. In the bout, Douglas attempted a jumping leg scissor takedown and landed wrong on his arm and injuring it. Loriaux was ahead on points at the time of the injury and Douglas could not continue so at the time, Loriaux became the first ever, IKF San Shou Champion winning the IKF San Shou Rules, United States Super Welterweight Title. However, the bout was later ruled a "No Contest".

This meant that the first ever IKF San Shou title was still up for grabs and history was still in the making. Enter already, two time National San Shou Champion Rudy Ott. At the time, Ott had a record of 18 wins and only 1 loss and was training out of Boston, Massachusetts. Ott stopped his opponent Cary Nathan of Redwood City, California, USA by KO at 1:45 of the 3rd round to be the first ever IKF San Shou champion winning the IKF Pro San Shou Rules US Super Middleweight Title.

Ott didn't stop there. He later moved to San Jose California to train with now IKF San Shou World Champion Cung Le. On December 15th, 2001 in San Jose, California Ott went on to win the IKF Pro San Shou Intercontinental Title when he defeated Peter Kaljevic (Both shown at ABOVE right - After the bout with IKF Referee Dan Stell) who was born in Montenegro, Yugoslavia but lived in New York City, New York, USA. This fight was clearly the "Rudi Ott Show" as he used nearly every throw in the book scoring often as if Kaljevic never knew a counter. In the end Ott won a unanimous decision.

On that same event in San Jose, the man who caught the eye of the IKF and sparked the beginning of IKF San Shou, Cung Le, (Left) became the *Second IKF Pro San Shou World champion when he defeated Shoni Carter of Chicago, Illinois, USA by unanimous decision winning every round.

(*) "Second" because someone else had an IKF World San Shou title before Le. The Semi Main Event that night lost some of it's hype when IKF MT & IR World Champion Danny Steele of Los Angeles, CA, USA didn't make the weight cut off of 147 lbs. for the vacant IKF San Shou Welterweight World Title. Steele made 149.5 but was unable to drop any more. Because of this his scheduled opponent, Matee Jedeepitak of Ratchaburi, Thailand via Indianapolis, Indiana, USA was awarded the first ever IKF Pro San Shou World Title by forfeit. Still, these two fought anyway in what was "Suppose" to be a San Shou rules bout. However, neither showed they had any San Shou skill at all and the bout played out to be a MuayThai bout with a couple of ugly takedowns. Jedeepitak has never been challenged for the title and has never fought San Shou since.

Both Ott and Le have been important parts of IKF San Shou as fighters, trainers and event promoters. They along with others such as Promoters David Ross out of New York and the Stell brothers out of Fairfield have kept IKF San Shou busy. Ott went on to win his own IKF San Shou World title when he won the IKF Pro San Shou Middleweight World title by defeating Dave Marinoble (Both shown at right) of Roseville, California, USA by unanimous decision on August 31st, 2002 at Win-River Casino in Redding, California. The bout was scored 48-47 by 2 judges while the 3rd saw it 49-46.

On December 7th, 2003 the IKF spread it's San Shou wings when it sanctioned 3 IKF Pro World Titles in Beijing, China. That night the IKF crowned 3 new San Shou world Champions. Light Welterweight Champion Han Yuzhu Beijing of China when he defeated Fernando Calleros of El Paso, Texas USA by unanimous decision. Super Middleweight Champion Bao Ligao of Beijing, China defeated Dave Marinoble of Roseville, California, USA by unanimous decision and Light Cruiserweight Liu Hailong also of Beijing, China when he defeated Eduardo Fujihira of Brazil by unanimous decision.

The last big IKF Pro San Shou World title was for the vacant Super Welterweight division. the bout was on May 1st, 2004 in Brunssum, Holland/Netherlands when Danny Hoyer of Holland defeated Alexis Hountondji of Belgium by KO when Hountondji could not stand by the end of Referee Dan Stell's count of 10 after a strong knee by Hoyer to his body at 1:00 of round 5. The event was promoted by Hoyer's father, Loe Hoyer (Both shown at right) and was the first IKF Sanctioned San Shou event fought on a "Traditional" San Shou fighting platform, not a boxing ring. As for the event itself, Loe Hoyer left noting out. From the impressive dual lion dance opening to the lights, cameras and action, this event had BY FAR the BEST San Shou fighting as a whole we had ever seen. All the fights were fought under San Shou rules and one thing is for sure about European San Shou... These guys ROCKED!



IKF San Shou
And The IKF National Tournament
In the second year of the IKF Tournament (2000) the IKF added San Shou to the rules style. Looking back, the move was clearly premature because the numbers spoke for themselves. Only 2 fighters registered to fight under San Shou rules in a tournament that was itself, still in the early growing years. It was the first and only time San Shou was offered at the Tournament.

In the lone bout, 30 year old Wayne Wilks of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania made history as he became the first ever to win an IKF National Amateur "San Shou Tournament" Title when he defeated Raymond Jenkins of Detroit, Michigan by a devastating Head Kick KO at :35 seconds of round 1. The win gave Wilks the only IKF USA National Amateur Tournament San Shou Super Middleweight title.



Stars Of
IKF Amateur San Shou
If you have followed any IKF San Shou there is one name that stands out more than any other. However you may be surprised who stands above the others. At only 22 years old and standing 5'2" tall she has won more than any other IKF San Shou Champion. She won her first IKF Amateur San Shou title (Bantamweight) when she defeated Katie Meehan by TKO at 1:56 of round 2 on July 21st, 2001 in San Jose, California. That same year she went on to defend the same Bantamweight title when she defeated Christine Yandolli by unanimous decision on December 15th, 2001 in San Jose, California. She eventually stepped up a weight class to win her 3rd IKF Amateur San Shou title in the Featherweight division when she defeated Elizabeth DeCaussin of Los Angeles, California, USA by unanimous decision on July 24th, 2004 in San Jose, California, USA. She is from San Jose, California and holds a combined IKF Amateur Kickboxing/MuayThai/San Shou fighting record of 14 wins with only 1 loss. She is, Jenna Castilo (Right).

Like in all the rule styles, amateur and pro there are others that have won IKF titles along with Castilo but few have defended them like Castilo has. As for IKF Pro and Amateur San Shou Champions, none of them have ever defended their titles. The current IKF Amateur San Shou Champions include;

  • Chris Cariaso of San Francisco, California: IKF US Super Lightweight Title won on July 24th, 2004.

  • Vang Moua of France: IKF Light Welterweight Intercontinental Title won on December 28th, 2002.

  • Albert Pope of Boston, Massachusetts: IKF US Light Welterweight Title won on July 21st, 2001.

  • Jose Palacios of San Jose, California: IKF US Welterweight title won on July 24th, 2004.
    V
  • San Song Moua of France: IKF Super Welterweight Intercontinental Title won on December 28th, 2002.

  • Josh Beauregard of New York, New York: IKF Middleweight title won on July 24th, 2004.

  • Max Chen of San Jose, California: IKF West Coast Middleweight Title won on July 21st, 2001.

  • Nima Nouri of Oakland, California: IKF West/Central Champion Light Heavyweight Title won on July 21st, 2001 by forfeit.

  • Brian Madigan of Oakland, California: IKF California Cruiserweight Title won on December 15th, 2001.

  • Rey Garcia of San Jose, California: IKF Northern US Regional Heavyweight Title won on July 21st, 2001.
  • Elaina Maxwell of San Jose, California: IKF Woman's Super Welterweight Title won on July 24th, 2004 by forfeit.


One thing hopes to be for sure come this August. To determine once in for all in a Tournament format, as all the other rule styles have been given the opportunity to do for the past 6 years, who THE BEST Amateur San Shou fighters are in North America! Will Jenna Castilo make the trip to Orlando to take on all challengers and further prove her dominance in Amateur San Shou? Will there be any women register to challenge Castilo? Will any of the current IKF Amateur San Shou Champions listed above from North America "Step Up" to "Walk The Walk" and prove to their peers they are indeed "The Best" in San Shou! Or will some choose to stay home and watch who is really "The Best" win it all in Orlando Florida this August?

This is "The Tournament" Amateur Kickboxers. For 6 Straight Years it has proved to be the Largest Amateur Kickboxing Tournament in North America. It has become the proving ground for who the "REAL" top ranked Amateur Kickboxers are. These winners "ARE" the best and if any Amateur Kickboxer wants to be called "The Best" or claim to anyone else they are "The Best", they will need to "Walk The Walk" this August at the



2005 IKF
North American Classic
Amateur Kickboxing Championships
In Orlando Florida, USA!

We look forward to seeing you all there...
