About the I.C.E.
Federation (PDF Flyer -
2.6 MB)
In an effort to promote unity and cooperation among
the various martial arts styles and programs in Michigan and the midwest, a number of leading grandmasters
and masters formed the ICE Federation in late 2006. |
Current Standings |
"ICE" stands for Individuals,
Conquering, Excellence, and this exciting new organization is
dedicated to ensuring fairness in martial arts competition by
adhering to the following principles:
|
Tournaments exist
for the benefit of the competitors and participants, not for the
sole purpose of providing profit to the promoter. |
|
Through cooperation
and teamwork, tournaments and other events will be scheduled so as
to minimize the chance of conflict with another event and to allow
reasonable time between events. |
|
In the spirit of
cooperation and harmony, students at participating ICE schools
will have the opportunity to cross-train at other participating
ICE schools for a low nominal fee. |
|
Participating Black
Belt members of ICE support participating programs by serving on
testing boards. |
|
ICE Instructors
participate in an annual ICE awards banquet to honor the top ICE
competitors and to celebrate solidarity in the martial arts
community. |
|
Participating
members of ICE will support the Federation by attending and
participating in ICE-sanctioned events. |
|
Honor and respect
for other members and for the martial arts community shall
permeate all decisions and actions by ICE members. |
The W.S.B.B.A. is proud and honored to participate
in the ICE Federation, which is now many members strong.
