"Bring It ON!"
The Location Has Been Confirmed For This Years
2002 IKF USA National Amateur Kickboxing Championships!

Dear Coaches, Athletes, Trainers, Officials, Family Members Friends and Fans,
Today we are proud to announce the location for the 4th annual, IKF USA National Amateur Kickboxing Championships. The dates for the event have been confirmed for August, 9th, 10th & 11th. The winning location for this great event is the

Davenport River Center
Located in Davenport, Quad Cities, Iowa, USA

This is a Fantastic Facility! The main room where the Championship Finals will take place is a spacious 32,400 square feet in size. The center is connected by a skywalk to the host hotel which at this point appears to be the Radisson Quad Cities Plaza. The Prelim bouts will all take place on Saturday with the Championship Bouts taking place on Sunday.

In addition, we will also utilize the Dynamic Adler Theatre (Right) for 2 special evening shows. On Saturday night, after the Saturday Tournament bouts, the staff of the Adler Theatre will show a special feature film for all of us to attend that will be martial arts/kickboxing related. We're asking everyone to send us their film choices to help us with a selection.

A new idea for this years Championship weekend is the addition of our Sunday Night Feature Event. Although we will probably have over 70 Championship bouts at this years National Finals, a select few will be put aside for our Sunday Night Feature Event that will take place in the Adler Theatre (Providing all goes as planned). This event will featuring 20 to 30 specially selected fighters in 10 to 15 National Championship Bouts. The IKF USA National Tournament Committee will select who will be featured in this event. The committee will take into consideration the fighters from the 2001 National Finals (Previous Champions) as well as who they will see fight during the Saturday prelim bouts. If you are not selected for the Sunday night event, don't feel left out. Your still a 2002 IKF USA National Champion Contender and soon to be a 2002 IKF USA National Champion on Sunday. All the 2002 IKF USA National Champions will be brought up on stage during the Sunday Night Show for a special awards presentation. As a special addition, we are currently organizing to have the Sunday Night Event filmed for TV as well.
