In partnering with the IKF brand, Ohio Kickboxing Promotions enables fighters from all over the world to recognize that our promotion is more than just a local event; it’s an IKF Sanctioned event. This means the fighters who participate in our IKF Sanctioned events have legitimate records through a world-wide recognized sanctioning body, instead of just a local promotion.
It also validates championship bouts to ensure that fighters are truly competing against the best in their weight class to earn an IKF title.
Our format focuses on technical skill and point scoring, rather than full-contact power. We promote a safe environment for athletes of all ages. The men's division consists of men ages 18yrs - 39yrs.
Fighters are matched based on age, experience, skill level, and gender, ensuring fair competition. As with the men, our women's division is for women ages 18yrs - 39yrs.
We welcome fighters of all ages and experience levels, from beginners to advanced competitors. We include divisions for masters (40+), allowing older fighters to compete safely and competitively.
Age is the primary factor with weight as the secondary for juniors. These are defined as ages 17 and below (with divisions for 8-10, 11-12, 13-14, and 15-17).
