Ball... Amazed Us ALL!
Sorry about announcing this story a month ago and then taking so long to get back to it.
We were hunting for some photos to add in.

As we stated when we first announced this article was coming the the IKF News Page, we are sure that many here have no idea who Tim Ball is. However, when you read our article about him, you will hear how he inspired all the fighters, trainers and officials at the 2001 IKF/RINGSIDE USA National Amateur Kickboxing Championships. From there, Ball went on to impress us all again and make us all realize, "All Things Are Possible!" And this was far better than the memory most will remember about September, 2001.

For some, the memories of the 2001 IKF/RINGSIDE USA National Amateur Kickboxing Championships may be a little lost in some of your minds. Not because the fights were not memorable or the event not memorable, but because of what happened the Tuesday morning after this great event. That Tuesday morning, September 11th, 2001, our world changed forever and so did each and every one of us. I don't need to say anything else about that day because I'm sure all of you remember where you were, what you were doing and exactly what happened that morning... The events of that day made us all different as it changed us forever.

For those of us who were at the 2001 IKF/RINGSIDE USA National Amateur Kickboxing Championships it was only about 72 hours earlier where we witnessed just the opposite. The work of something that made us all believe that great things can happen to great people.



That year 207 fighters showed up to "Walked The Walk" on September 7th, 8th & 9th at the 2001 IKF/RINGSIDE USA National Amateur Kickboxing Championships. However, there was one bout that stood out the most. It was the fight of a fighter with a paralyzed right arm. Sure, some of you are saying, "You let a fighter with a paralyzed arm fight?" Well before you call any of us stupid for doing so, let me say, I would do it again and again and again!

When Tim Ball of Pennsville, New Jersey finished fighting Mark Snow of Lake Zurich, Illinois, few waited for me to announce Tim's situation. Nearly everyone at Ringside at ring 2 stood to their feet and gave Tim a standing ovation for his efforts. When the applause quieted down, I explained how Tim had went through months of waiting for us at the IKF to make a decision whether or not to allow him to fight. We had several e-mails in support of him competing and finally, we made the decision to allow him to compete. I said to everyone there, "We decided, if Tim Ball wanted to walk the walk, we weren't going to stop him!" And the place erupted with yet another standing ovation.

If you were there you would have felt a lot of emotion in the room. Tim represented every fighter at that moment. He proved that if a 1 arm man could make the effort to "Walk The WALK" than NO ONE else could ever have a valid excuse. Tim may have lost his bout, but he won the hearts of EVERYONE there, and more important, he "Walked The Walk" in front of all his peers. Nothing is more valuable than that!

However, Tim's desire to be a fighter was no one time thing. He had entered the 2001 IKF/RINGSIDE USA Nationals with a record of 0-0-1. A lone draw. Although he missed the 2002 IKF Tournament, he was back at the 2003 IKF/TKO USA National Amateur Kickboxing Championships. By the time he showed up to "Walk The Walk" in 03, he had built his fight record to 5-4. Once again Tim entered into the FCR Super Heavyweight division. In the first round he faced off against eventual Tournament Champion Mitch Matrasko of Glendale Hts, Illinois, USA (5-0/2, 250, 6'6") Ball made it clear he wanted no mercy, and Matrasko did for Tim something Tim will always respect him for. He "Fought" him straight up as just another fighter! Matrasko stopped Tim by TKO at 1:30 of round 2 but should not feel bad about this loss. Matrasko went on to win the 2003 Tournament Title the next day.

However, when Tim was done "IN" the ring in 03, he was not done "With" the Ring. Tim still had to corner for both his sons who came to fight with Dad that year. In the FCR Junior Welterweight division (70.1-75 lbs. 9 - 10 Year Olds) Tim's son, Jacob Ball "Walked the Walk" himself. Jacob fought hard but lost his bout to another eventual Tournament Champion Mario Solis of Nampa, Idaho, USA, (5-0-1/0) by split decision 30-27, 29-28, 28-29.

Jacob wasn't the last of Tim's family though. His other son Timmy Ball II also "Walked the Walk!" However, as fate would have it, like father and brother, Tim the second also lost his opening bout to an eventual Tournament Champion when Aaron Rendon of Plainview, Texas, USA, (11-1-0/3). Rendon defeated him by unanimous decision, 30-27, 30-27, 29-28.

A tale of two directions came together that September of 2001. One of pain and tragedy and the other of hope and dreams. Both worthy of our memory and both teaching us different things about ourselves.

On August 13th, 2006, 39 year old Tim Ball sat down at his computer desk and wrote an official letter to the IKF announcing his retirement. We can count on 1 hand the number of fighters that have done such an honorable thing and we are proud Tim is one of them. In classic Tim humor, his opening sentences read, "I am writing you because i am "Retired from Full Contact Kickboxing." Or at least I really think i am, well pretty sure." One thing is for sure, like all fighters, none of us really "Retire...." For we all stay "Fighters" whether in our arms, our legs, our hearts or our minds. As time knows now, "Once a fighter, always a fighter."

Tim was ranked in the IKF Amateur FCR and IR Rankings. He retires with a fight record of 6 wins and 6 loses with 1 draw. He also had 6 smoker style bouts where he went 5-1. Tim's letter, which was long and appreciative finished with,

"The IKF Rankings opened doors for me in the past because when others see that the IKF Ranked me, most people allowed me in their kickboxing events. Again I hope that my story will be able to help others. The IKF has played a big role in my life. Thanks, Timothy Ray Ball, "The one armed warrior."

One thing can be for sure and forever for Tim and the others who have experienced the IKF Tournament...
"Those Who Walk The Walk, Stand Tall Forever!"

Tragedy
In Route To The
2007 World
CLASSIC!

Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada
IKF Promoter, Fighter and Trainer Mitz Bandiera (Left) of Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada was looking forward to spending the weekend of July 28th, 29th & 30th with his peers at the IKF World Classic Amateur Kickboxing Tournament in Cedar Rapids Iowa. When there he had plans to corner his fighters Stacy Chung and Jordan Allan. Chung was to compete in the Adult Women's FCR Bantamweight division and Allen in the Adult men's FCR Super Lightweight division. Both were eager to have their coach meet them in Cedar Rapids. The three had not travelled together because Mitz had planned to go to a bike rally in Sturgis, South Dakota after the Tournament so he started his journey to the Classic on his motorcycle. However... The meeting never came to be.

Mitz was told about the accident on the second week in St. Paul Regional Hospital by a State Trooper who was 3 cars behind him. On July 28 (Friday) his plan was to get to the Tournament registrations in Iowa. The Trooper told him this story:

"You were heading down 35W at 80 mph in the right lane, a car moved over from the left lane into your lane. You avoided a collision with the car by swerving to the right. You went on to the grass and hit the wooden wall on your right side, you stood on your seat to avoid more damage to your body. The bike stopped instantly by hitting a culvert, you flew off the bike and went 100 feet through the air landing on the highway with your head. I went forward to check you out and thought you were dead. I put a cloth over your body. Then I picked out the driver of the car that had made a lane change, I began telling her she would be charged with man slaughter. I went back to check on you and noticed you were breathing. I called for an ambulance, and they came in 15 minutes. Your head was bleeding all over the highway and your right side was busted up. The ambulance came and took you to the hospital. That night at 10 pm you had a heart attack. The nurses brought you back with the electric paddles. Again this happened at 2 am on Saturday morning. You were in a coma for 6 days from there in St. Paul Hospital."

Mitz told us that when he woke up he could not feel his body. He could not read or keep a conversation and his right side of his body was burned and his shoulder dislocated. Adding to this, his hips were out of place. "My left side, were I hit the pavement was busted with some brain damage." Said Mitz. He went on to say, "I am grateful to be alive. Today 7 weeks later I am in Thunder Bay at St. Josephs hospital. My day till 4 pm is filled with therapy, physical and mental. I can now walk, read and my conversation with others is great. I don't remember leaving Thunder Bay on July 28th or 6 days after. I have heard and been visited by all my friends and students, called from all over the world and cards from everyone. I do appreciate everyone's concern. Again thank you."

Although tragic, we here at the IKF surly speak for everyone when we say we are blessed that Mitz is still with us today. In his honor, Stacey and Jordan, not knowing the full severity of the accident, went on to fight in the Tournament. Stacy finished second in her division losing a close bout by unanimous decision 29-28 on all 3 judges cards. With concerns of his trainer on his mind, Jordan fell to defeat in his opening bout.

For those wanting to send their best to Mitz, we are sure that he would love to hear from you but please give him time to reply. As you can see, he will be pretty busy for awhile. His e-mail address is mitz@tbaytel.net We ask that all of you, as we will do, keep Mitz in your prayers in hopes for a full and speedy recovery.

Tyler "Bad to the Bone" Price
"Making History!"

At 14 years old, Tyler Price has already made a name for himself as a force to be reckoned with in kickboxing. Tyler had his first full-contact kickboxing match at the age of 5 on former-world champion Charlton Young's event in Shreveport, Louisiana. At the age of 8 years old Tyler received his Black Belt from Ron Chewning who is a Joe Lewis Black Belt. He has fought in venues across the United States, including several casinos where he was the only junior amateur invited to fight on the main event fight card. Wanting to prove that he is the best of the best, he has won multiple championship titles through all the top recognized kickboxing organizations on his way to accumulating a record of 15 wins with only 3 loses with 2 wins coming by KO/TKO.

One of his goals is to prove that he is not just the best in any single organization, but the best in all organizations. Tyler has proven himself to be one of the most consistent amateur kickboxers since 2003, after winning his first KICK North American full contact championship in Las Vegas, Nevada. To prove he is the best of the best, Tyler is on a mission to become the first junior amateur to go back to back to back championships in three different rule styles, Full Contact, International and Muay Thai.

He continued his winning record claiming the 2004 KICK North American Full Contact Title. this was followed up in 2005 when he won the 2005 IKF North American International Rules Title and the 2005 KICK World Tournament Full Contact Title. Tyler has had a busy year in 2006 which begin when he won the IKF International Rule Intercontinental Title in Liverpool, England by defeating a very talented opponent, Kyle Harrison in a relentless attacking ending in a first round TKO. He followed up this win with the 2006 IKF World Classic Full Contact Rules in Council Bluffs, Iowa and yet another Tournament Title just this month.

The only thing left to do to finish his mission is to win the 2007 IKF World Classic Muay Thai Rules Title. One of the hardest steps to accomplishing this will be to have an opponent to face at the 2007 IKF World Classic Tournament. Tyler will be entering the 14-15 year old Muay Thai Rules, Junior Atomweight Division (102.1 to 109 lbs.)

Ultimately, Tyler's long range goals for his career in kickboxing is to follow many of the other great IKF champions who have went on to win championships in K1 and UFC. He is trained by his father Frank Price and Ron Chewning of Team Sportsplex in Kernersville, North Carolina.

If Tyler accomplishes this task, he will be the first ever to do so in both Juniors and Adults. Good luck to Tyler in his quest in making kickboxing history. As we see more of him in the ring, each fight is just another part of his already impressive History!

Le Fighters Take Home MMA Wins!

Cung Le and Garth Taylor led USH! fighters Sam Spengler, Jose Palacios, James Terry, and Elaina Maxwell into victory at the Warrior's Cup in the Stockton Arena (Stockton, CA) this past August 12th. The USH! team swept their bouts with two unanimous decisions and two knockouts on an all MMA card. Why are we posting MMA news here? Well, we first got to know Palacios and Maxwell in the IKF where they excelled in Kickboxing. Maxwell along with Terry made their Pro Debuts in MMA and won!

Palacios improved his own MMA record to 2-0 as he made quick work of former IKF Amateur Kickboxing Champion Robert Elledge winning by TKO in round 1. Maxwell had the best and only knockout of the night in her professional MMA debut, delivering a mean knock down with a right cross and then finishing with a ground and pound in the minute and a half of the first round over Michelle Maher. It was the quickest fight of the evening and the first sanctioned female MMA bout in the state of California.

Spengler won his third professional MMA fight by unanimous decision over Mike McGuinnes improving his record to 3-0 and James Terry won his MMA debut bout as he defeated Josh Hayes by unanimous decision. Congratulations to each of these fine fighters and their outstanding coaches, Cung Le, Alan Maravilla, and Garth Taylor.
