And... The Winners Are...

Every Name You See Below...
Because They Are The ONLY Ones Who
"Walked The Walk!!

Over 200 Amateur Kickboxers from across the USA met this last weekend in Olathe/Kansas City Kansas, USA (September 7th, 8th & 9th) for the Largest Kickboxing event EVER (Number of competitors) in North America. "SEVERAL" Stories will be posted when our staff returns from the Nationals next week but we know you can't wait that long to see who all "SHOWED UP" and who all "Walked The Walk" instead of just "Talked The Talk..." However, for those who want to know who took home over 60 TRUE, USA Championship Titles and Belts, we posted them below as well.

So here they are everyone. The results of one of the greatest gatherings of amateur kickboxers EVER in the History of the sport. The results of the
2001 IKF/RINGSIDE USA National Amateur Kickboxing Championships....

ALL Championship bouts were fought on Sunday. Only 2 fighters fought 2 times on Sunday. They were in the Heavyweight Men's Full Contact Rules. This came about because of a protested bout on Saturday.
