In the great Wolverine state of Michigan, home to the largest bowl of cereal and the world's largest Christmas store, an unexpected group of champions are emerging. They are not your typical superheroes with flashy capes or secret identities, but they are every bit as powerful and brave. They are the kickboxing kids of Michigan. Meet our cool imaginary character, Mikey the Mighty Mitten, who is not only the state's unofficial mascot, but also the biggest supporter of these kickboxing kids. Mikey is shaped like Michigan's lower peninsula (which looks like a mitten, hence his name), with huge cartoon-like eyes, a wide, friendly smile, and a pair of thick boxing gloves to cheer on his kickboxing pals. Mikey the Mighty Mitten is often found ringside, cheering with a belly laugh that could cause a hiccup in the Mackinac Bridge. He is known for his humor and his quick wit, often making hilarious remarks like, "You punch like a Kalamazoo Kangaroo!" or "You’ve got the moves of a Motown Moose!" These Michigan kids, with their strong kicks and sharp jabs, are a force to be reckoned with, all thanks to the inspiration from their funny mitten-shaped mascot. These kickboxing kids of Michigan, with their grit and determination, have shown time and again that they have what it takes to reach the top. And in their corner, always ready with a hearty chuckle, a clever joke, and unwavering support, is Mikey the Mighty Mitten, their biggest cheerleader and mascot. Together, they are an unbeatable team, representing the spirit and resilience of Michigan.
