SAVE THE DATE: WKA North Americans Combat Sports
Mar 2, 2010
(PRESS RELEASE) -- Mark your calendar for 2010's WKA North
Americans! We are proud to announce that WKA USA's 9th year of
National & North American Championships will be held June 18-19.
Though originally slated to be on the 25-26, with the opportunity
to hold the event at the brand new beautiful Boo Williams
Sportsplex in Hampton, Virginia, the date was moved up a weekend.
As always, we will bring you the best MMA, Muay Thai, & Kickboxing
action from around the country as top amateur contenders battle
their way to the championship in an all-day tournament! Winners of
the open class will qualify to represent the U.S. National Team at
the WKA World Championships in Edinburgh, Scotland (click here to
read about the great experiences of the 2009 National Team during
their trip to Spain!).
Every year, we try to make this an even better event. First, we evolved from Nationals into North Americans to open up the competition to our Canadian and Mexican neighbors. Then we added a cage to improve the rapidly growing MMA division. We introduced a BJJ/ submission grappling tournament as part of the overall event as well so that teams could bring along their best groundfighters to compete as well. This year, due to the talent of the youth we see at so many martial arts academies, we are pleased to bring you JUNIORS DIVISIONS in both K-1 and MMA!
Fighters, start getting ready, and coaches, prepare your teams: with over 250 competitors from more than 50 gyms all over the country last year, we look to make this year's tournament even bigger and even better to keep up the WKA's reputation as the most competitive, rewarding tournament around!
Keep checking your e-mail and our website as registration will be up within the week, and don't forget to refer your friends, whether they compete or just love to watch the best combative action!
