A REMINDER TO ALL TO

"Keep To The Code!"

With so many making New Years Resolutions during this time of so many of us questioning our powerful political leaders, I thought I would take action instead of just talking about what I dislike about those in power. From here forward, I think all of us Fight Sport Officials need to take some of the same lessons many are wishing of our government leaders and put these lessons into ACTION! This being said, to all of our Officials with IKF Kickboxing, - ISCF MMA and IAB Boxing, I'd like to introduce you to our new motto… Yes, it's been used before by a popular movie, but I'm sure they won't mind when they know what we are referring to… For all of us Officials, let it be from here forward known that whenever any of us use the phrase,

"Keep To The Code!"

It shall ALWAYS refer to the following code for all of us as officials when working to help advance the fight sports with fairness and safety in mind. Our CODE is,

"Always DO the RIGHT Thing!"

That shouldn't be too hard to follow, and to add to it, post this where you can see it and read it EVERY DAY,

"How hard is it to Do the Right Thing? IT'S NOT, SO DO IT!"

May all of you enter 2013 with the Greatest of Goals and that you accomplish them all with the values of
Honor, Courage, Loyalty, Discipline, Honesty, Integrity, Benevolence, Politeness, Respect, Sincerity, Commitment and Self-Control!
Values we ALL should live by… ALWAYS!


Happy New Year Everyone!
See you all in 2013!

You Can't Be FIRST...
But You Can Be NEXT...
Katrina "The Storm" Nahe First To Register For 2013 IKF World Classic!!


The year hasn't even ended and there is already some action towards the IKF Tournaments for 2013. To begin with, any fighters looking to be the first fighter registered for next years 2013 IKF World Classic, well, that position is already taken. Multi time World Classic Champion and IKF Junior Amateur World Champion Katrina "The Storm" Nahe got all her paperwork in here on December 10th! Nahe is from Antioch, California and is trained by Dennis Guila. She holds a record of 8-0 with 3 wins by KO/TKO. For the 2013 Tournament she registered in the Junior Girls International Rules Division at 115.1 - 120 lbs.

Katrina won the IKF Junior Girls Amateur Muay Thai Rules Bantamweight World title on May 5th, 2012 in Oakland, California on one of Johnny Davis' AKPromotions Events. Katrina defeated Tisha Balentien of Almere, Holland (34-6-1/11) by unanimous decision, 49-46, 48-47 and 49-46 (Bout photo at right).

Last year Balentien's trainer and mother said they wanted to make the trip to Orlando to rematch Katrina, however they never did. This early registration by Katrina though should give Tisha plenty of time to plan for the trip. Their World Title match was a barn burner that a lot of people would love to see again, but doubtful anyone would travel all the way from California to Orlando to see it... Also keep in mind if there are other fighters in their division, both would need to win their way through the bracket to meet on Championship Sunday!

Katrina has won "3" IKF World Classic Tournament titles (2007, 2009, and 2011) and last fall she won the title at the 2011 IKF International West Coast Classic in Sacramento, California, USA. Both tournaments are in there own way, similar to the Golden Gloves tournament for boxing. In 2010 she won the IKF Junior Amateur Girls Western United States title on the scales when her opponent Aneka Otto of Scottsdale, Arizona failed to make the 105 weight, weighing in at 107. However, to prove her worth, Nahe fought her in a non title bout anyway, and won by unanimous decision, 39-37, 39-37 & 40-36.

So Katrina is First, the question is, "Who will be NEXT!?" Are you ready to "Walk the Walk" at this years 2013 IKF World Classic? Don't wait to see the new belt design for this year as by the time we present is (As Always) it may be too late for you to register. Keep in mind the "FIRST DEADLINE" this year is May 24th, 2013. The Final Deadline is July 2nd. To see all the Deadlines for the 2013 IKF World Classic, click HERE!




SPEAKING OF TOURNAMENTS...

Years ago there use to be several IKF "Regional" tournaments for the fighters to fight at for a better seeding at the World Classic. So far there is only 1 regional scheduled, the North Central Regional in Beloit, Wisconsin, on March 16th, 2013. Although called the "North Central", fighters from anywhere can attend, including fighters from Canada. For details on this event click HERE.

Still open for Regional Tournament Scheduling are the South East, North East, South West, Central West, North West and of course Central USA. If you know of a promoter who may be interested in hosting an IKF Regional Seeding event, have them (or you) call the IKF or e-mail the IKF.

However, the Central East may get a home... Or a new "Belt" tournament...

Word has it that the IKF has been in talks with AK Promotions Johnny Davis (Now living in South Carolina) has an interest in doing an IKF East Coast Classic tournament. Whether the event will be a Regional Seeding tournament like the North Central, or a belt tournament such as the 2011 IKF West Coast Classic (Click) has yet to be determined. Chances are, if a "Regional Seeding " tournament it will of course be in the Spring (March - April). If a "Belt" style Tournament as was the West Coast Classic, it would most likely be in the Fall (October, 2013).

Results From Douglas McAdam
"FIGHT SPORT EXTREME"
December 1st, 2012 - Stepps, Glasgow, Scotland




This was an excellent contest between two worthy challengers. Although Moir was the more experienced it was Young who forced the pace from the outset. Both men had similar classic Thai styles and although the rounds were fairly even, it was Young who had the edge for most of the contest. There was a lot of trading but neither man looked in trouble at anytime as defences were rock solid. However Moir was repeatedly warned for accidental low blows. This eventually cost him a point deduction in the 4th round but by that point Young was ahead by a comfortable margin and at the final bell the decision was just a formality.

Congratulations to new IKF Champion Tommy Young.



NOTE: Only this title bout was sanctioned by the IKF on this event.
