2003 IKF USA National Amateur Championship Tournament



On Any Given Sunday


The saying in football is that on any given Sunday any team can win. The champions of our sport will have no easy time at the IKF Nationals as the best of the best come to meet the challenge. Fighters rise to the task when faced with great talent and our returning champions surely provide that. Don't hand out the belts quite yet as new talent will certainly emerge and increase the field of fighters to watch. As Jesse Finney puts it "Stay positive". I am positive there will be great fights for all the belts and we will enjoy the best tournament in America. Looking forward to seeing all of you.

They...
ROCKED US!

They Started the Event With The Song "We Will Rock You!" And They DID!


On Saturday morning, the IKF/TKO USA National Amateur Championship Tournament opened with the lights down low and 10 seconds of silence for the recent loss of MuayThai star Alex Gong. From the darkness, the lights focused on the American Flag as Mary Lee Malmberg (Director of Sports Tourism) of the Cedar Rapids CVB broke the silence with the National Anthem. The moment she was done, the sound system in the massive U. S. Cellular Center blasted out the song "We Will Rock YOU!" setting the stage for the greatest Amateur Kickboxers in America to do just that, ROCK US! And they DID!

As the music played, each fighter took their last breath of air as a spectator and all became champions who all met on this weekend to "Walk The Walk" in the U. S. Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids Iowa at the Greatest IKF Amateur Tournament to date and very possibly, the Greatest Amateur Kickboxing Tournament EVER!

This was REAL Championship Kickboxing! This was an Outstanding EVENT that will forever set the stage for any promotion of this type to come! This was a great event not because of the effort of one promoter. Not because of the talents of one fighter. This was great because of the efforts of "EVERYONE" associated with the IKF on this given weekend who put in time to make it all possible. From those who ran gloves or cleaned floors to the stars of the show, the Champions, everyone represented a chain that held us strong throughout the entire 63 hours of the event (12 noon Friday to 5 PM Sunday). Doing their jobs, each proved in their own way to be the Team's strongest link and through the efforts of the many we all shinned in the success of it.

With the lights of the massive U. S. Cellular Center turned down, only two squares were visible to those in attendance. The two squares under the ring lights in the middle of the arena where the best amateur kickboxers in America would take the stage to "Walk The Walk!"

Over the next two days, inside these squares, champions were made and legends were born. There were new Champions crowned while some past ones upset by those being just a little better on this given Sunday...

All who entered the ring this weekend will forever be known, as those who in the past, as the "Best Amateur Kickboxers In America!" In attendance were past multiple time Champions such as Stephen Thompson of Simpsonville, South Carolina and Peyton Russell of Minneapolis, Minnesota who have "Walked the Walk" before but this year, came to put in time as part of the event staff to help others take center stage under the lights. They were just two of an event staff that worked around 150 bouts in two days and turned in a performance by event officials that was simply SUPREME!

There are so many stories to be told as always and some we noticed have been told on the IKF Message Board with more to follow. The news page will be quiet for a week though since the IKF Staff will be taking a much needed week off now to get recharged for more IKF Action. Some of that action will include the IKF North American Championship Tournaments and other great upcoming IKF Events. Not to mention the work with our IKF TV Show that will start on September 5th. So for now, we know you all want to know who was crowned the 2003 IKF/TKO USA National Amateur Champions... So lets "Bring It On" and share with you how each and every fighter this weekend, ROCKED US ALL!
