A-Infos (en) Ukraine, Kiev, Second international tournament in mixed martial arts among anti-fascists of Europe "No surrender! II."*

On April , the 17, 2010 in Kiev will be held the second international tournament of mixed 
martial arts among the anti-fascists of Europe "No surrender!! II." The tournament is 
intended to continue the tradition of learning and use of fighting arts not only in the 
ring or mat, but also in real life situations. Invited to apply are all the caring people 
who refuse to be reconciled with the dominance of the Nazi terror in the streets of their 
own cities. --- By participating, you could get experience and teach your opponent not to 
be afraid of difficulties! ---- Fighting fascism are not only words but also fights in the 
streets, which dictate its conditions to win. There is no place for weakness and sorrow
there. Compassion not only to the enemy but also to themselves. We should work on our 
physical training, skills, real street fighting. Anyone who does
not just "disagree" with the Nazi violence, but is active, thinking person,
ready to fight injustice- not only in words but in deeds, understand that the
ability to fight is vitally important. We should not simply be able to stand
up for ourselves, it is necessary to achieve victory. It is necessary to
resist the Nazi filth, from the brazen impunity.

You should forsake of weaknesses and fear! Prove that you're able not only to
conduct "propaganda", but also could fight with dignity in the ring with an
equal opponent. Victory in the ring -is a chance to get a victory on the
street.

The first "No surrender!", was held in Moscow last year, was timed to the
memory of famous anti-fascist Fedor Filatov ( "Fedyaya"), who was killed by
the Nazis in the autumn of 2008. The tournament "No surrender! II", will be
held in honor of Ivan Khutorskoi ( "Kostolom"), who was shot in his apartment
building on Nov. 16, 2009. For the tournament, "No surrender!" The Death of
Ivan is more than loss for the tournament, "No surrender!", cause it is
Kostolom ,who was the organizer and the chief judge of this Moscow event.
Ivan was a reliable bulwark of the anti-fascist movements in Eastern Europe
and we will continue the tradition of struggle against violence, which he
actively promoted and developed through their actions. In addition, the
deaths of Fedyay and Kostolom are not the only two, lying on the conscience
of the Nazis. We have lost many friends. Anti-fascism is not only the
scientific debate and controversy for us, but - a way of life. Therefore,
mixed fights tournament in "No surrender!" will continue to be held under the
slogans of the hard fight with the murderers and the memory of our fallen
friends.

The program of events scheduled fights involves women in fighting arts. Those,
who would like to participate in the tournament, should send their
