Striking Divisions:

**NOTICE***: ​DUE to our Northern BC Combat Challenge's commitment to SAFTEY , and for us to meet the goals of what we envision we have to ***CANCEL*** our KICKBOXING Divisions. In order for us to meet our goals and our vision of what we are looking to create and to meet the standards that we are looking to get approved from the BC Athletic Divisions, we will need much more time to make everyting perfect so we can acheive our goal to make this the safest most organized tournament that we can offer. We are very sorry and will be organizing REFUNDS right away.

OUR CLEAR GOALS OF OUR Kickboxing sparring divisions; Light to semi-contact Sparring rounds. In a phrase our rules are based on "show your technique" where each competitor is actively trying NOT to create an environment for injury by only throwing uncontrolled single strikes at 80-100 percent. Northern Combat Challenge has an intention is trying to develop our athletes in an inclusive amateur setting to gain experience to one day be able to step into the final step of getting prepared for a sanctioned ring fight. Our events are supposed to be the stepping stone to get the data necessary to be ready to step into a ring fight which would be a huge step up from our amateur events designed for athlete development. We feel this step is missing and we are working with many others with the BC Athletic Commission to make sure we do it in the safest way and we want to help keep the best standards for martial arts competition that will work for everyone. Clear rules and educated staff and officiating. We only want to offer the best and safest product and we will keep working towards this goal.
