The excitement is building for one of the most anticipated martial arts tournaments St. Albert has to offer — Fire & Ice 2025! Hosted by Phoenix Martial Arts Club, this year’s event promises to be bigger, better, and even more thrilling, featuring not just traditional Taekwon-Do competition but also the dynamic return of the Muay Thai double elimination tournament: VENGEANCE.
Taking place on May 9-10, 2025, at Servus Place in St. Albert, Fire & Ice 2025 will bring together athletes from across Alberta and beyond, showcasing incredible skill, sportsmanship, and a true passion for martial arts. Here’s everything you need to know to prepare for the ultimate Fire & Ice event experience.
1. Two Days of Non-Stop Martial Arts Action
Fire & Ice 2025 is set to deliver an action-packed weekend, combining traditional martial arts competition with cutting-edge Muay Thai excitement. The tournament spans two days, with Friday focusing on Taekwon-Do patterns and sparring, and Saturday igniting with continuous action across all age and skill levels.
Event Breakdown:
- Friday, May 9, 2025:
- Blue, Red, and Black Belt Pattern Competitions
- Sparring Divisions for Intermediate and Advanced Students
- Saturday, May 10, 2025:
- White to Blue Stripe Pattern Competitions
- Shadow Warriors Obstacle Course Challenge
- VENGEANCE Continuous Muay Thai Tournament (double elimination!)
This dual-structured event ensures there’s something for every martial artist — and every spectator — to enjoy.
2. Introducing the VENGEANCE Muay Thai Double Elimination Tournament
New for 2025, the VENGEANCE Tournament offers an exciting opportunity for Muay Thai athletes to experience double the matches and double the glory. Unlike traditional knockout brackets, our double elimination format ensures every fighter gets at least two chances to showcase their skills.
Why VENGEANCE Stands Out:
- Guaranteed two matches per competitor
- Focus on control, technique, and fluidity
- Emphasis on continuous action and points scored rather than knockouts
- Open divisions for kids, teens, and adults
This Muay Thai double elimination tournament provides an incredible platform for fighters to gain valuable experience and demonstrate resilience, strategy, and sportsmanship.
3. A Tournament Designed for All Ages and Skill Levels
Whether you’re a white belt stepping into your first competition or a seasoned black belt looking to hone your competitive edge, Fire & Ice 2025 has a division tailored for you.
Divisions include:
- Shadow Warriors (ages 4-6) Obstacle Course
- Kids’ Patterns and Sparring (ages 7-12)
- Teen and Adult Patterns and Sparring
- Beginner to Advanced Muay Thai divisions
This inclusive structure ensures everyone can compete, grow, and celebrate their martial arts journey.
