North American Century Cup 25-28 September 2025: a celebration of excellence, sportsmanship, and world-class competition  With National teams representing Turkey, Brazil, Mexico, 19 teams from across the USA and 64 Canadian kickboxing clubs – the competition was a global experience.  The event brought together the full spectrum of kickboxing from Point Fighting to K-1.  The night show was a vibrant showcase of the diversity and unity in kickboxing sport. The Organizer was WAKO Canada, and the president Muzammal Nawaz said: "Over the years, WAKO Canada has experienced phenomenal growth – from our National Championships hosting 500+ competitors to our acclaimed Development Series events.  We’ve built a foundation for athletes at every level, and now, we’re stepping up the game. We as the organizers were deeply honored to have Honorable Neil Lumsden, the Minister of Sport, to officially open the event and personally recognized our national Team heading to the WAKO World Championship in Abu Dhabi in November this year. WAKO Canada is grateful for the support of Century Martial Arts and their President/CEO Michael Dillard who was on hand for the inaugural competition.  The North American Century Cup was created to elevate competition. Our teams of officials, medical staff, and volunteers delivered something truly special – and this is just the beginning. Thank you to all coaches, parents, and athletes for believing in our vision. Next year will be even bigger," said Mr. Nawaz closing the competition.
