"Winter Wars 2002 Welcomes Competitors Of All Levels Before the "heavy artillery" steps out for the nighttime mixed martial arts and kickboxing bouts at Winter Wars 2002, on March 16, 2002, in Augusta, Georgia, a daytime martial arts tournament for competitors of all ages and belt ranks will take place at the venue. Divisions will include continuous sparring, kata, grappling and shootsparrinig/submission kumite. "Some of the Southeast's top fighters in both MMA and kickboxing got their start in our day tournaments," says event organizer and IKF and ISCF World Team Member, Mike Carlson, (Right) who adds, "and many more take advantage of the competitive opportunity when they do not have night fights. It's great to see that, but also the kids competing in a wholesome and realistic environment, which is marked departure from the standard tournament scene." For more information, contact Augusta Martial Arts Academy (Mike or Elizabeth Carlson) at amaa@prodigy.net by telephone at 706/855-5269 or via fax at 706/855-7119.
