Antioch, CA
Another exciting event of IKF Point Kickboxing event happened this past weekend in Antioch, CA. Earlier this past week, we talked about the kicks missing in kickboxing...not this weekend! We witnessed all kinds of kicks being thrown along with impressive boxing as each opponent tried to get the upper hand in exciting semi- contact action! Fighters as heavy as 350lbs competed and threw head kicks that brought looks of wonder from the crowd! We also witnessed fighters who did not take the event serious enough and become gassed before the first round was over. The referee had to stop several matches due to a few fighters being too exhausted to compete effectively and the bout became unsafe.

This is part of the beauty of IKFPoint Kickboxing in that it gives fighters a chance to evolve without the embarrassment of being humiliated and knocked out.

Fighters traveled as far away as 500 miles to attend this weekend's event and I don't think they left disappointed as they got plenty of action and their skilled were tested to the max!

We hope to see more fighters come to attend the events as the exciting IKFPKB 2008 Circuit continues. In the words of top trainer Billy Olsen of Santa Rosa, CA "I kick myself for not getting involved 5 years ago when Johnny ask me to attend!" Mr. Olsen and his team attended their first event this past January 2008 in Sacramento and in his own words said "We are hooked and will be attending all of the events especially to help us get ready for the IKF World Classic in July this year!"

The IKF World Classic is the largest amateur only kickboxing event in the world and offers Full Contact and Semi Contact competition. To read more info, click HERE!

Who will be crowned champion for 2008! See you March 22, 2008 in Roseville, CA for the next edition of IKFPoint Kickboxing! More information at www.IKFPKB.com

February 18, 2008- Indian Trail, North Carolina, USA
IKF/PKB North Carolina Representative and Promoter Mr. Sean Griffin (L) reports another fun and exciting IKF Point Kickboxing tournament this past weekend (February 16, 2008). Moreover, he was proud to announce the start of the North Carolina IKF/PKB Circuit. With nine events schedule for the West Coast and only three currently schedule on the East Coast, Mr. Griffin and IKF/PKB President Johnny Davis came up with the idea to expand the semi contact circuit to NC to give those from the East Coast a better chance of winning a title at the end of the year.

The Circuit Points will be kept by Mr. Griffin who will past them on to the IKF/PKB at the end of the year. The championship titles and awards will be given at the end of this year and, or at the first event of the following year. Although the East Coast events are not quiet as large as the West Coast events yet, this should add to the excitement of the tournaments as each competitors now knows that they have a bigger purpose for getting the win!

Mr. Griffin said, that "I'm excited about what the circuit offers to the NC Point Kickboxing competitors. I feel that it is the first step to really growing the IKF/PKB in this area. Several promoters have expressed interest in promoting IKF/PKB events and I look forward to adding more events to the circuit in the coming months. Mr. Davis has mentioned that if the timing is right, he will come to NC to help present the awards to the champions...that would be impressive and exciting as it would show competitors that the IKF appreciates all levels of competitors! "

Rick "The Jet" Roufus



Dennis "The Terminator" Alexio,

You remember them. Fighters such as Benny 'The Jet' Urquidez, Don "The Dragon" Wilson, Curtis "The Explosive Thin Man" Bush, "Magic" Cliff Thomas, Dennis "The Terminator" Alexio, Bill "Superfoot" Wallace, Rick "The Jet" Roufus, just to name a few. When they lifted their leg, they could place it on a dime with tons of Knock Out Power added in. To them, a spin kick was no big deal, a double roundhouse, "Serve it up baby!" To them, the front push kick and the lazy roundhouse without any snap didn't exist. To them, if you kicked, you kicked with speed, power and incredible accuracy to find the opening, not just land into the arms.

So where are those kickers today? Where are the fancy spin kicks and combo roundhouse kicks that put kickboxing on the map? Has accuracy and pin point precision been replaced with blunt power? Sure, the kicks are still powerful, but how often do you see them land on an open target with knockout precision and power and not on the arms of a fighter? Have we lost the great kicking teachers of years past?

When kickboxing fighters came from karate schools and styles such as Tae Kwon Do, Kajukenbo, Tang Soo Do and Kung Fu, kicks were much more than just strong. They "SNAPPED!"

"I'm gonna take this right foot, and I'm gonna whop you on that side of your face... and you wanna know something? There's not a damn thing you're gonna be able to do about it." said Tom Laughlin as the character Billy Jack in one of the famous quotes in one of the Billy Jack movie to. Up into the air he went with a spin and he landed the kick with accuracy and quickness... And his opponent couldn't do anything to stop it.

Sure, it was a movie. However, what made Kickboxing an Exciting sport to watch in the 80's and 90's was that special skill that not everyone could do, and it was done with the legs... Not throws or the hands of boxing. It separated Kickboxing from Boxing in an EXCITING way!

We recently reviewed some fight clips from several 2007 events. The kick we saw most was not a strong side kick. It wasn't a deceptive round kick or a shuffle set up spinning side kick... It was the well known, lazy front push/snap kick. Fighter after fighter just laying it out there. We were taught the same kick to find distance, just like the jab. We were not taught that kick in hopes to score easy points with the kick counters, some of which never land, but kick counters counted them anyway... Full Contact Rule bouts with fighters barely getting their kicks to the hips and by rounds end, barely making their required minimum of 6 kicks.

Have you ever seen fighters such as Eric Regan... Dave Marinoble, Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson... If your doing tally strokes on a piece of paper during one of their fights, you run out of paper before you run out of the round.

In the article yesterday we talked about a Gut Check for Kickboxing. Maybe the answers are within and not the fault of TV turning their backs to us and from what we found, it's not just the lack of exciting kickers in our sport.

We recently took a look at what the sport is doing different now than it was 10 years ago when it was thriving. We wonder why MMA has surpassed kickboxing by leaps and bounds as if all of us were flat on our feet.... And maybe some of us were... Maybe we thought a simple front push kick "Should" have won us the round, won us our sport over. However, it wasn't... It was boring and sad to watch. I know Curtis Bush is reading this and I'd like to know what he thinks of the sport today. His love is in above the waist full contact. Others have love in leg kicking or Muay Thai. However, I don't necessarily believe it's the style that makes a better kicker or more exciting fighter. I remember several Muay Thai fights where a fighter landed a kick up aside their opponents head and brought the house down. I don't think it's so much "Style" as it is "Training".

Benny 'The Jet' Urquidez



Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson

Endurance, as in any sport is a major issue. You can do all the sparring and road work you want to but get in the ring the first time and the adrenaline alone can wind you before the first bell rings. The more one competes, the better they "Should" get. However, we have all seen fighters with 5, 10, 15 fights still getting tired in the ring after 3-4 rounds. WHY?

It's easy to be a critic and that's exactly what I'm doing here. Some may not like what I'm saying, but I doubt many if any will disagree with me and that's not being arrogant. it's just calling it what it is, no matter how hard the truth hurts us all, even us here at the IKF.

Where is the excitement in our Kickboxing? As a fighter, are you EXCITING? Have you made yourself a feared opponent? Can you stand in a room like Dennis Alexio, Benny Urquidez or Don Wilson once could when they were fighting and make others KNOW you were or are the best without throwing a kick or a punch? What are you known for? What separates you from the others? Why would a fight fan want to pay money to see you, but care less about seeing someone else? How have YOU marketed yourself as a fighter?

Remember, as a fighter, you are also an entertainer. You NEED to make people WANT to see you. You NEED to make Promoters WANT to book you for a fight and if few fight fans know you, and few buy tickets because of you, what makes you desired by a promoter?

However, how many of you have set out to make yourself a Fight Star? A Fighter every promoter would LOVE to have on their fight card? We mentioned below how Spike TV spent millions in marketing the UFC show. However, long before Spike, MMA fighters were raising the bar, raising the volume in entertainment. They STOOD UP, Shouted out loud and made fans love them or hate them and no matter what it was, they wanted to see them fight. They either loved them so much they wanted to see them win or hated them so much they wanted to see them lose but when an MMA Fighter talked about his game, he TALKED it UP!

Fighters like Dennis Alexio went with a "Bad Boy" image. So much that the majority of the fans that came to see him wanted to see someone knock him out. However, after Alexio knocked his opponents out, the Alexio haters could only watch in ahhhhh and say "Holy Crap!"

Benny 'The Jet' Urquidez would dazzle you with his quickness and those ever flashy kicks coming from all over. Don "The Dragon" Wilson didn't really have any signature moves, but when he came to fight, he simply took care of business and in doing so, seemed to never lose his temper, before or after battle. He stood like a karate fighter but hit you like a Heavyweight prize fighter. Nothing fancy, just taking care of business as needed... But still, even the "Dragon" had fancy, accurate and powerful kicks. Bill "Superfoot" Wallace amazed us all with just one of his legs... Yes, just one. It may not sound like a lot, but if you ever talked to someone who was hit with it, they will tell you, one hit with a Bat is enough...

Is it just the fighter's that have lost the "Pizzazz" or have the rest of us slowed down too? Where is all the News on the IKF News page Steve? We need more news, more articles, more build-up to fights! What about our events? Are they so exciting that fans can't wait till the next one? I don't mean just the fights themselves, I mean the look of the venue. Look at your ring Promoters, is it ALIVE? Is it the "Center Stage" of your event, well lit up with exciting colors or are all the house lights on and the ring is lost in the sea of chairs surrounding it... Are all your officials wearing IKF Officials shirts or are they all dressed in different colors and styles from jeans to sport coats. One thing about the ISCF is the desire of representation and uniformity among the Officials. Look around the fight cage or ring at nearly every ISCF event and you will see the Officials all wearing ISCF Official shirts.

How is your music, your lights, your announcer? Have you realized that they too are a BIG part of your overall production. That some fight fans stay away from events just because the ring announcer is either too boring or talks too much. When do you start your event?

Are you on time or are you 20 minutes late in starting your event waiting for something like ice for the locker rooms or a kick counter at ringside? How TIGHT is your show? Here's a Gut Check for you. A few years ago I was at an IKF Event in the Midwest of a well established, seasoned IKF Promoter. What I'm about to say, I never told him, so you are all hearing it for the first time. For various reasons, his event started about 20 minutes late. At the time, I didn't think much of it because as many here know, for whatever reason, we have all come to accept and or allow our events to start late... WHY we allow and accept this I don't know but somewhere along the line it became a common expectation among a lot of Promoters. However, on this night, it may have cost Kickboxing it's big break.

After the event, I was approached by a Production Scheduling executive of a major TV Company. No need to say who because from this incident, that deal was lost. The gentleman and his two associates informed me that they had called our IKF Office in search for a possible Promoter to work with in doing some live events. Someone at our office gave him this promoters name among several others. They told me they had been to a show that each of these individuals promoted over the last three months and many more that were sanctioned by other sanctioning bodies. They felt the need to share with me their shock that EVERY Kickboxing show they attended started a minimum 20 minutes late. One was 50 minutes late. They said they were interested in kickboxing as a fight sport for their channel, but didn't think we were organized enough as a sport to discipline our own promoters to start on time. We talked a little more and then parted ways with his assurance that they were no longer looking at kickboxing but were next looking at a new sport called cage fighting. I don't need to tell you the station and I don't need to tell you what happened from there... We all know.

Needless to say, maybe as Martial Artists (Which most of us in kickboxing or Muay Thai are I believe), we are lacking what we were taught from the beginning... Discipline.

Lets back up even further... What about your fight posters? Are they professionally done or just a cut and paste job? Do they do their job in exciting the fight fans when they see them? Are they informative?

Lets take yet another step back. We tell every promoter, trainer and even fighter that we will post any press release they have here on the IKF News page. However, very few take full advantage of this. Thousands of fight fans visit the IKF site EVERY DAY, and they could be reading about YOU, your event, your fighter or anything else related to the sport of kickboxing. As Jerry Maguire said in the movie, "Help us Help YOU!"

THIS is the GUT CHECK people.
It may not sound pretty, but it needs to be said now to "ALL" of us, before we lose more ground in the sport. There are still a lot of kickboxers around the world that have no desire to try MMA. There are still a lot of Great Kickboxing Promoters who have been, and will continue to remain loyal to Kickboxing. The question is, will we take this long, disciplined look at ourselves and FORCE a change, or do we want to stay in the downward spiral the sport is in and throw the towel in to MMA?

We need to stop looking around wondering why MMA has past us up as a spectator sport because believe me, no one in MMA is wondering how Kickboxing or Muay Thai is doing. We need to stop wondering and worrying about a lot of things such as why we may not like a certain kickboxing fighting style, other kickboxing promoters, other kickboxing sanctioning bodies, whatever it is, and start looking at ourselves.

"Are we as individuals doing everything we can to make our sport more exciting to watch, more valued to the fight fan and more credible as a sport?"

Each of us needs to put more into our position and help elevate the sport as a whole instead of waiting for someone else to come along and invent "The next big thing..." "WE" as individuals need to make ourselves the next big thing. Again, what sets you apart from the rest of the pack?

Steve Fossum

As I close here I'd like to offer a little advice and a secret that helped the IKF in the very beginning grow to where it is today. When Dan Stell (Co-Founder of the IKF) and I thought about starting a kickboxing sanctioning body, we wondered how many people would laugh at us and whatever letters we would make up as our name. However, what brought us to start the IKF was not the letters, but the simple fact that we vowed to be much more than "Letters". We wanted to "Make a difference in the sport." Just saying we want to do this though was not enough. We knew the other big three at the time, (ISKA, WKA and at the time, KICK) were big, so we knew we were not going to be the biggest in the beginning of course. However, if we could find a way to stand out, find a niche that would make us "Different," we would become known because of this difference and this would lead to us surpassing the others as we have done today. That difference came in the organization of not just the IKF but the events we sanctioned.

Dan Stell

For example, the Rankings were the number one thing that set us apart from the beginning, but not just rankings, the info we had in those rankings and making them public became priceless to everyone. Fighters got exposure, trainers were suddenly known by name and promoters no longer had to pay thousands of dollars for matchmakers or for a matchmakers trainers list. Putting these rankings into the original IKF Monthly ranking and news books set us apart and put us on our way. Today, this web site replaces those monthly books, and the theory is the same... "Do more than the others do, and give more than expected!" This simple secret is what made the IKF what it is today.

Many more things followed in our history such as our own custom IKF Belts, Merchandise, the IKF Tournaments as well as the many other things created over the years here within the IKF website. What I am saying is, you can't just make up some letters and be a sanctioning body, no more than you can hit and kick a bag and call yourself a fighter or sell a few tickets and call yourself a promoter. The secret is, you need to stand out in the crowd. What makes you DIFFERENT? What makes people WANT to come see you fight, see your events, see our sport?

For those who have visited my personal schedule page, you are greeted with a saying by Robert Frost. If you have never read it, I will share it with you here;

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I... I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."

In doing so, I now challenge all of you to step off your normal road and create your own path as a fighter, trainer, official or promoter. What can YOU do as your part of this Great sport to make yourself DIFFERENT than those next to you? You may not be a Champion today, but I assure you that if you do more than the other guy, you will someday stand out in the crowd with your peers as our many Fight Fans say, "Now THAT was Great Kickboxing!"

Former IKF Pro World Champion Don "The Dragon" Wilson is still in the spotlights! Last year he completed the filming of yet another movie, The Last Sentinel.

Last year Don told us, "Although there is some Martial Arts in the film, this is not my usual Martial Arts style film. This is a Science Fiction film with tons of Explosive Action. My next project is called the Samaritan and it will have a lot of Martial Arts in it." explained Don.

Here is a breakdown of the Movie:
The last of the legendary 700th, the last of the warriors, our last hope... The Last Sentinel. It's defences crippled, mankind has been slaughtered to the brink of extinction by the drone police. Tallis is the last of the last, after his unit was destroyed in the final terrible battle of the last great war. Living a life of survival, he is only ever one step ahead of the creation humankind hoped would bring peace on Earth, the Drone. When Tallis crosses paths with a young freedom fighter known only as "The Girl" his world changes. Tallis finds his reason to fight again, but, this time he'll wage outright war! Set against a back ground of mythic proportions, with a spectacular cast of characters, "The Last Sentinel" is the story of a hero of ancient principals, of a poet warrior of the classic type.

Here is a page of some of the clips during filming, just click HERE!

Don't forget, Don will once again be the Guest of Honor at this years 2008 IKF World Classic in Orlando, Florida this July.

Special Thanks to Ringstar Sparring Shoes - www.ringstaradvantage.com and all of the trainers, fighters and fans that made this event a success! See you February 23rd, 2008 for the next IKFPKB Circuit Event in Antioch , California. For more info about IKFPoint Kickboxing go to www.IKFPKB.com
