Congratulations To Our Kickboxers!

ABA President’s Corner

We had a great turnout this year – thanks to all of our competitors and to our Bando family members who came out to support our fighters as well as to honor our veterans.


Highlights of the tournament include the awarding of both “Best Kickboxer” to Michael Dixon of Athens Bando Club and “Best Kickboxing School” to the Fredrick Fight Club of Northern Virginia.

Many thanks to everyone who made this event a success and a special thank you to Sayama Leslie Darr and Saya Bill Darr, who did a great job in hosting the 2013 Bando Kickboxing Nationals in Northern Virginia.
