AAA Fight Club & AAA Fight Class is proud to be associated with and under the umbrella of the INTERNATIONAL KICKBOXING FEDERATION. The IKF Was Established in July of 1992 by cofounders
Steve Fossum & Dan Stell
Both Stell and Fossum created the foundation of the IKF from their knowledge and experience as past Kickboxers (Over 100 bouts between them and multiple titles), Trainers of Champions and Kickboxing Event Promoters.
In July, of 1996, Mr. Stell parted ways with the IKF as Vice President to pursue other desires.
During this time he fought 2 more kickboxing bouts before retiring from the fighting ring.
Today, along with his other job, he's an event official for not only the IKF but many organizations as well as an event promoter.
In December of 1996, the IKF website was created by IKF Web Coordinator Yancey Gillis and IKF President Steve Fossum. The site was launched in January 1997 at www.jps.net/ikf. The new site address today is of course, www.IKFKickboxing.com. The ability to provide immediate news updates along with instant updates for events, rankings, rules & regulations to millions around the World was surly the key to the Worldwide success that the IKF has today.
IKF expanded it's growth in the United Kingdom with the relationship of Alby Bimpson of England in 1998. Together with his direct associates, Jacqui Thompson (Retired from the IKF Europe in 2005) and Mick Fowles, the IKF started sanctioning events in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales as well as Portugal, Russia, Greece and other European Countries. Bimpson and Fowles played important rolls in sanctioning IKF events throughout Europe in unison with the IKF World Headquarters in California, USA up until their termination in December of 2006.
