tournament update

Monday, February 16, 2009

This past weekend, KICKgen attended The Space Coast Karate Championships promoted by Mike Smith & Murray Lamb and sanctioned by FAME 2K. Having attended hundreds of martial arts tournaments in the past, I feel qualified in saying… this is a good tournament. It is very well run by the FAME 2k guys. In fact, every FAME 2K tournament is run similarly making the experience predictable and consistent for competitors. That’s a big deal – competitors have enough to worry about and FAME 2K has done a very good job making their tournaments a better experience overall for competitors and spectators. I like those guys!

Who was there?
There were a bunch of noteworthy martial artists competing on Saturday including some very recognizable KICKgen members: Lauren Kearney, Ricky Morris, C-YA, Andrew Garr, Mikey Muniz, Elizabeth and Alesia Sipes, Becca Ross (there to say hi), and the entire Full Circle Team. Have you ever seen the Full Circle Team at a tournament? They’re rather impressive team and one I think we should keep watching. You can’t miss them with their bold yellow t-shirts. Coach Rich and Coach Mike (blue overalls and yellow t) also there running the team like pros. Thanks Coach Mike for the chocolates!

So did they throw tomatoes at me?
Nope no tomatoes! KG members have made it very clear that they’re a little ticked off that we changed the platform, but the folks I ran into were willing to talk about why we did this and where we’re headed. KICKgen members are the best!

How do you add your tournament news?
Be sure to send in your tournament updates and photos. We love to share updates with members! Next tournament for KG: Orlando Challenge - see you there!
