2020 IKF WORLD CLASSIC UPDATE

We will be making our decision whether or not we will be rescheduling, postponing or canceling this years 2020 IKF World Classic sometime between May 1st and May 15th.
This years event is currently scheduled for
JULY 24th, 25th & 26th, 2020 at the Hyatt Regency Orlando resort in Orlando, Florida, USA.
It is very unlikely the event will take place on this date as currently planned.

REGISTRATIONS
As some may have noticed, we stopped posting all registrations on March 20th of this year. All registrations that have been received after that time are still sealed in the envelopes they were sent in. This is so we will not have to refund thousands of dollars if the currently scheduled Tournament date in July is rescheduled, postponed or cancelled for this year.
Thank you all for your understanding...

How Do You Decide WHAT To Watch?

Observation...

This past couple of weeks I've been seeing a lot of on-line training clips on Facebook. Some good, some not so good, but here's the real issue...

What I saw was some of the BEST teaching / training tips came from coaches, trainers, instructors that hardly anyone knows. However, these guys and gals had maybe 15-20 views, maybe 5-10 likes and even less comments.

Then I would see tips from WELL KNOWN martial artists, fighters, trainers, coaches and I need to say, many of their tips or classes were the WORST and most ridiculous things I've seen in regards to training, which totally shocked me, and more so, they had "Hundreds" of views, Hundreds of LIKES and loads of comments... More like A$$ Kissing comments if you ask me."

The moral to this observation or the factual finding of this observation is this...
Like I have noted in the past with some motivational quotes I've posted from individuals some of you may not like, where I have often said IGNORE "WHO" says it, just listen and or read the words and learn from it. A prime example is Patriots coach Bill Belichick's quote "DO YOUR JOB!" Some of you hate him, or the Patriots, OK, I get it... Lots of it's jealousy which is how many react to winners... Regardless, the 3 word line is one of the most practical, logical, justified lines in Accomplishing ones goals! SO ABSORB IT and DO IT!!!

Back to the observation... In regards to all these posted instructional clips, the issue here is that so many of you only want to or feel you can learn something good from a famous person (fighter, trainer) which is laughable and ridiculous and shows a massive gap in your inner desire to truly empty your cup and LEARN! If you want to be Good, keep on doing that. However, if you want to be GREAT, Listen, watch, read from as many as you can because;

"Everyone has something to teach and something to learn!"

You don't have to be a famous coach, champion fighter to be able to share great skills and knowledge...
Some of the BEST tips and advice are coming from coaches and trainers who are not just looking for "Likes" to enhance their egos...
There coming from coaches and trainers who have something GREAT to offer us all with a Sincere desire to help us all, not just boast their own ego's with your click of the LIKE button here...

STOP Kissing Ass in hopes someone likes you for your LIKE vote and start watching some of these trainers who can REALLY teach you some Great things!
