BATTLE AT THE 45TH PARALLEL

As always, a successful tournament this past weekend up in Grayling, MI.  Friday's nights cage fighting was off the hook.  These fighters meant business and they were the best of the best.  Congratulations to Zack Burns and all of the other competitors for their victory wins in Friday nights cage fighting.

 

We would like to thank everyone who came out and supported this year's tournament.  Thank you to all of the competitors for their great performances.  Videos, pictures, etc. soon to come!

More than 200 contestants in 127 divisions competed in the Open Martial Arts Championship held Saturday at Madison High School in Madison Heights.

Director Adam Lux, who owns a karate school in Washington Township, said 60 winners received first-place trophies in what is considered one of the top five karate tournaments in Michigan.

The championships had 117 styles in the novice, intermediate, advanced and black belt divisions. Participants were all from the Great Lakes states, Lux said.

"We had seven grand champions," Lux said. "The competition was stiff."

Half of the proceeds will be donated to the National Scoliosis Foundation. The event was sanctioned by the ICE Federation.
