A Message from Grandmaster Chuck Norris

 

A Message from  Grandmaster Chuck Norris Dear UFAF, I hope this message finds you well and filled with anticipation for our upcoming ITC!  This is such an exciting time every year when our UFAF family comes together again for this great event to learn, compete, and celebrate.  We have an incredible lineup of seminar presenters this year prepared to share their expertise and it is especially exciting that the ITC will be at a brand new venue this year!  The Rio Hotel is going to be a great place for our event, with great rooms, restaurants, family shows and more!   I also wanted to include a special announcement that we will be revealing the names of the UFAF Warrior Legends that will be engraved on the UFAF Warrior Legends Award.  The names of the legends will be announced at the Gala, so you won't want to miss it! Let’s make this ITC the best one yet! Sincerely, Grandmaster Chuck Norris “Warrior Legends Award” We are adding a NEW competition opportunity at the ITC 2025 …  an Open Weight Sparring competition.  For the first time ever, we will have double elimination brackets.   Even if a competitor has lost once,  they still have a shot at winning the championship!  Who can compete?   All adult male and female black belt registered participants can compete in this new open weight competition.  We will have two divisions: Male and Female.  All rounds will be 90 seconds - No Point Limits, but we will have a 7 point mercy rule.  Competitors must lose twice to be eliminated!  The competition will take place over two days.   Approximately two-thirds of the bouts to be fought on Saturday  and the remainder of the bouts on Sunday after adult grands.   The winners will receive the brand new “Warrior Legends Award,” a commemorative plaque highlighting some of UFAF’s best warriors.
