"It's All About
THE BELT Baby!"
This has been the phrase that
fighters have used to separate the IKF
Championship Tournament from all others.
"What will I win for my efforts?"
The IKF wants to make sure that EVERY
Fighter's effort is worth something GREAT! This is why from the very
first IKF Tournament back in 1999, the
IKF Tournaments have ALWAYS been
known for their great awards, Especially their CUSTOM MADE Championship
Belts!
This year will be no different from years past other than
there will be even
MORE
Awards and
Fighter Gifts for EVERY FIGHTER...
EVEN The
TRAINERS!
AS ALWAYS, Each fighter will receive several great Sponsor Gifts from Brain pad, Combat Sports International, IKF and other sponsors. In all, around $30,000 has been budgeted for just the awards and gifts for fighters and trainers at this years 2008 IKF WORLD CLASSIC Amateur Kickboxing Championship Tournament.
Here's a look at the awards breakdown as of April, 2008.
More awards and gifts will be added as we
get closer to the event date.

SPECIAL
AWARDS
AT THIS YEARS
IKF WORLD CLASSIC!
This being the 10th year of the IKF World Classic, it will be our goal to make it a little more special than in the past 9 years. For this years event, each fight division will have additional "Special" Awards that will be given only to their rule divisions.
These "Special Awards"
will be in addition to the always custom IKF World Classic Title Belts. Our first
special additional award announcement will be for the Adult Men's Muay Thai
divisions. Each Champion in the 10 Adult Muay Thai will receive this beautiful
metal Muay Thai fighter statue ( naikanomtom ) engraved with the 2008 IKF World Classic
and their weight division on it.
More "Special Awards" will be announced over the next two months.
"Awards are a major part of our tournament." Said IKF President Steve Fossum. "As amateurs, we want these great fighters to walk away with not only great memories but something special to remember their experience by which is the main reason we want to send every fighter home with an award of some kind."
As in past years, all fighters will receive custom raised print
color certificates and custom tournament medals. Second place and Champions
receive more awards which include glass plaques, autograph gloves and of course,
all (All age groups) the Champions will be awarded the
2008
IKF World Classic Championship Belt.
The question everyone has been asking is the same every year... "What color
are the belts?" That will be announced soon.
This year the IKF wants everyone to go away with more, especially the contenders who don't make it to the final championship bouts. This included the Chief Trainers of each fighter as well who will all receive special gifts.
The IKF is also working organizing a special "Welcome Banquet Dinner" free to all registered fighters and trainers on Friday night. This of course will depend on securing sponsorship for it since the IKF would be required to use the Hotel Catering for the dinner which could be as much as $20 per plate per person. Still, if a sponsor can be found, this would be a great way to kick off a great event.
As already mentioned, more special additions for the "10th Annual" IKF Tournament will be announced over the next two months so keep watch. The IKF tournament has proven for the last 9 years that it is 'THE' Tournament for Amateur kickboxers. It's always been the largest "ALL AMATEUR" Kickboxing tournament in the world and the IKF hopes to keep that prestigious title this year.
North American Amateur kickboxers don't need to travel overseas to be crowned one of the "Best AMATEUR Kickboxers in the World!" All they have to do is make a trip like IKF Europe and the rest of the "REAL AMATEUR Fighters" in the world plan to do this year to Orlando Florida, USA...
