There are all kinds of organizations out there with all kinds of letters making up a lot of hype.

Letters are easy to make up, most of have seen this for years now. However, which organizations are working for the fighters? Giving them the exposure they DESERVE?

Really now... WHO is working for "YOU?!"
The Fighters
Trainers
Promoters
Officials

What are these other organizations doing for "YOU?"

Who is placing contact info on their sites with "YOUR" name so that ANY promoter of ANY Sanctioning body can locate you as a fighter, trainer, even promoter?

Heck, we list EVERY Promoters contact information on our events page so that eager fighters can contact them;

Where can you go to see the fight records, age, weight, height etc. etc. of fighters around the world? This should be EASY for all organizations yet only one does it. The IKF.

What about past Champions? Who remembers these many GREAT fighters after they retire? WHO will remember them? Can anyone here name all the past WKA, ISKA or WAKO Champions? Of course not. However, it's easy to name all the past as well as CURRENT IKF Champions because they are on the IKF website. See for yourself at the past IKF Champions page:

http://www.ikfkickboxing.com/pastchamps.htm


And all current IKF champions "AMATEUR" and Pro are all listed in the IKF Rankings;

Yes, we are tooting the IKF Horn here, but really now, WHY don't we see this work from the other organizations? Why don't they do more for the sport than collect a sanctioning fee?

Again, it's EASY to create what one may want to call a sanctioning body, an association etc. etc, but how many put in the work day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year? Speaking of years, the IKF has ALL the past news stored on our past news pages too:

All this explains why the IKF web Site has the highest traffic rating out of all the Sanctioning body sites too. To verify this, go here;

Or, simply type in KICKBOXING into any search engine and see where the IKF site comes up.

The IKF even has a message board for people to speak their minds:

There are THOUSANDS of pages on the IKF site LOADED with news and information about kickboxing. But don't take our word for it, see for yourself:

And when comparing Organizations, ignore the hype of the letters, look to see who is doing what for "YOU!" Our goal at the IKF is to not just sanction and regulate the sport, but to bring recognition to those in the sport. THIS is what helps our sport grow.

At the end of the day, honor and integrity are all each of us have. These are valued points of the IKF, and more so, valued parts of what the IKF is all about. Go here to read more:
