"IKF EAST COAST CLASSIC
IKF PKB TOURNAMENT
Dillon, South Carolina, USA
Thanks to all the gyms, fighters and fans that came out for the IKF Point Kickboxing Tournament October 11th , 2014 that followed the IKF East Coast Muay Thai Kickboxing Tournament. Although the East Coast Classic was a success, little did most realize how much fun and excitement was still to come in the IKF Point Kickboxing Tournament.
Men and Women fought in Semi Contact action and gave the remaining crowd a real show! The tournament also showed us that there is some real talent out there and we should expect to see some of them in the ring next year trust this champions are brewing! Hope to see you in the next one in the area set for December 6th, 2014 back in Dillon, South Carolina.

IKF
Website
Is Still Number 1
Around The World
According to techmadeeasy.co.uk, as of January 2014 there were around 861,379,000 registered host name websites in the world. Of the over 861 MILLION sites, we here at the IKF feel it's always important from a marketing standpoint to know where we stand among them in terms of daily traffic. In other words, How many people visit and read the IKF Kickboxing / Muay Thai website per day to read our daily news page, upcoming events, check our rankings, etc. etc.
In a recent pole according to Alexa.com, among Kickboxing and Muay Thai Sanctioning bodies, the IKF is proud to once again be the most visited Sanctioning Body for Kickboxing and Muay Thai.
The pole did not include the false numbers of what some call "Piggyback" (*) sites where the main web domain adds in an additional website address destination prior to it's main domain to make their count not only false, but appear tremendously higher than it actually is. There was only 1 sanctioning body in the pole found to have been doing this and the number given is their actual independent site ranking without it's piggybacks which made their web traffic number appear far greater than they actually are.
Alexa's rankings are like in Golf. The lower the number the MORE traffic the site is getting. The Lower the number indicates closer to the Number 1, Hit/Traffic Web Site in the world. The higher the number, the fewer traffic the site receives.
The interesting thing to note is how much more traffic the IKF site is getting than even the second most visited Kickboxing / Muay Thai website in the rankings which is well over "TWICE" as much. It is also interesting to add that most of these sites combine their Kickboxing, Muay Thai, MMA, semi contact & other martial arts all on their site. These other martial art disciplines sanctioned by us (IFS - International Fight Sports, our parent company) are featured on completely separate sites, ISCFMMA.com is our MMA site and IKFPKB.com is our semi contact site.
Of all those 861 Million websites, below is where the IKF (As well as our ISCF MMA Site) ranks among the other Kickboxing, Muay Thai and MMA websites worldwide. While looking at where various sites rank, keep this in mind. The IKF is of course a sanctioning/regulatory body first. However, we don't stop there for those we represent... Aside from sanctioning, our main goal has ALWAYS been about "EXPOSURE" for Fighters, Trainers, Promoters and Officials who work with us.
With today's web technology we're able to see that not just IKF people visit our website. The IKF (As well as the ISCFMMA Site) is visited by the TOP Promoters, matchakers and news publications worldwide. A LOT of Fighters, Trainers, Promoters and Officials who have been spoken about on the IKF site have gone on to bigger and greater accomplishments simply because others could validate their resume from our site.
So when you win your next Kickboxing or Muay Thai title, (Or MMA) ask yourself that simple question... "How many people will know of my accomplishments?" If it's on the IKF site, it's clear that well over TWICE as many people will see your name and read about what you've accomplished (Win or lose) as any other title you may win... Again, our main focus is to not only regulate the fight sports, but also help make everyone we associate with well known in the fight sport world.
Only 19 Kickboxing & Muay Thai sanctioning bodies had enough web traffic to even tank, so here they are in the world in regards to website traffic.
And just in case you're wondering, here are the top 10 most visited
sites on the internet today:

"WARRIOR FIGHT NIGHT 5"
September 28th, 2014 - Birmingham, England
Event Representative:
IKF
EUROPEAN MTR LIGHT CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE
Carlos De Grace (Westhoughton,
England, 12-2-1, 84.0kg, 6'2", 06-25-86, Daz Morris 00447880332596)
VS
Josh Quin (Torquay, England,
6-2, 84.1kg, 6'3", 10-09-87, Kris Bartas 00447903382212)
WINNER: CARLOS DE GRACE by KO at 2:30 of round
3.
JOSH QUINN RECEIVES 45
DAY IKF MEDICAL SUSPENSION UNTIL 12TH NOVEMBER 2014
This contest was an explosive encounter from the opening bell. De Grace was the more experienced but Quin was the new sensation who had quickly stepped up to European level with some excellent wins, including a recent victory over world rated Roma Da Silva. Both men came out looking for elbow strikes early but it was De Grace who struck first, opening up an early cut on Quins forehead. The trade offs were fantastic with the whole variety of low kicks, knee strikes and punch combinations being used evenly.
Although he was more than capable Quin had moments of looking as though he was a little overwhelmed by the occasion and De Grace took full advantage. He did, however pay the price anumber of times, walking onto strong combinations. Even so the action was mainly equal and you could not have argued with the scoring either way.
From the start of the second round De Grace stepped up and although Quin went with him he was always a short pace behind. Heavy shots from all angles connected and both men were feeling the effect of the low kicks. Towards the end of the round De Grace was in charge but certainly not out of danger.
Despite the danger from Quin you had the feeling that the third would be a pivotal moment. De Grace opened up with more and more elbows and knees and Quin could not go with him. He took two counts and a third saw referee Tom Ashe wave the contest off. This was an excellent title contest, and despite the experience difference, Josh Quin showed that he is in that league. Unfortunately for him Carlos De Grace showed that he is ready for even bigger things. Watch this space!
IKF ENGLISH MTR (Mod) LIGHT MIDDLEWEIGHT TITLE
George Worthington (Bournemouth,
England, 7-1, 72.0kg, 5'10", 08-16-93, Sert 00447438430792)
VS
Rob Hayward (Guilford, England, 6-6-1,
72.0kg, 5'11", 04-01-84, Jesse Saunders 00447870626559)
WINNER: GEORGE WORTHINGTON by KO at 1:44 of round 2.
Rob Hayward RECEIVES 30 DAY IKF MEDICAL SUSPENSION
UNTIL 12TH NOVEMBER 2014
Controversy and fantastic sportsmanship alike surrounded this awesome contest. The skills of both men were out of this world as they both put on a pure Muay Thai display for an appreciative audience. Everything about this contest, including the manner of the fighters oozed class. Great clinchwork and kick grabbing, solid kicking and explosive punch combinations. The traditional feeling out process was observed by both men to produce an even first round and in the second both men stepped up a gear, continuing the even feel. This was always going to be a difficult job for the judges.
Worthingtons clinch was stronger but Hayward compensated with his hands and low kicks. Towards the end of the round a solid knee connected with Haywards mid section and Worthington followed through with a knee to the head. Unfortunately Hayward was already touching canvas.
Hayward did not make the count and was unable to continue. The Chief official moved towards a reluctant disqualification but Hayward, now on his feet intervened, stating that it was the knee to the body that had caused the damage and that the follow up had only glanced. Worthington was awarded the belt but Hayward has to be commended for his honesty.
