After finishing second in the world two consecutive years, Kintigh broke through in 2026, taking home two International Sport Kickboxing Association world championship titles in July at Disney’s Coronado Springs in Orlando. However, a motivated Kintigh smashed 15 out of 15 boards last month, tying the world record. However, it takes perfect technique to break 15 boards in one attempt. At 15, Kintigh said he endured a panic attack but chose in his heart to turn to God. He said his mother is his head coach, his father holds the boards for his side kick break and his sister, Jessica, hands the boards to them.
