MEDICAL REQUIREMENTS

IF YOU COMPETE FOR ANOTHER PROMOTER

These rules and regulations only apply to IKF sanctioned events in North Carolina.  If your event is not sanctioned by the IKF, please contact the NCBSC for their official requirements as ours differ from what is required by the state.

NOTICE

The following list of requirements is set forth by the North Carolina Boxing and Combat Sports Commission (NCBCSC).  For the health and safety of our fighters (both amateur and professional), if you compete in ANY combat sport in the State of North Carolina, you are required to get these tests.

We recommend using Request a Test (888-732-2348) as they can locate a testing center close to you, they have a fairly quick turnaround, and they know the exact format required for acceptance by the NCBCSC.  The Combat Trio costs $109.

Blood work is required every 6-months.  The required tests are —

Eye Exam
