    Default NABBA Canada

    For over 60 years, the National Amateur Body-Builders Association has existed, and this organization is the longest running Body-Building organization in the World today. NABBA since 1950, has held the original Mr Universe title for 62 years now!! NABBA also has formed an International organization and many member Countries have developed NABBA affiliated bodies in their member Countries. NABBA also has formed an alliance with the German based World Fitness Federation (WFF). And NABBA, along with the WFF, holds extensive International Amateur and Professional Contests.

    In the USA NABBA formed an American affiliate in 1992. Americans compete and Canadians also have been encouraged and welcome to participate.

    For all these decades----for multiple generations, NABBA never formed a Canadian based affiliate. This omission over such a vast period of time, and era's, is hard to understand. NABBA is a Body-Building organization that clearly would of benefited the Canadian competitor.

    Well, now, NABBA will stage a Contest in Canada ---next year---North America Body-Building Figure Bikini Championships in September 2013. A historic long long awaited occurrence, and a celebration planned for Canadian and American competitors alike!!

    Check out our site nabba.ca

    We look forward to building a fabulous event, and a weekend in September. Finally, the arrival of Body-Building's oldest most historical organization in Canada!!!

    It's about bloody time!! IMO NABBA is right up there with the IFBB and for the longest time guys like Arnold, Zane, Draper etc. competed as well in this organization as well as other legends like Pearl, Reeves and Park. I look forward to hearing more about NABBA Canada in the future.

    And lets not forget that NABBA is all about conditioning for all the classes men or women. Hell I remember seeing figure gals in NABBA that would put to shame the conditioning of many FBBs even at the national level.....

    it will be interesting to see what happens with IFBB/NPC cutting out more and more Female Bodybuilding
    to the extent theres only 4 womens pro shows in 2013
    and them eliminating it from some of the National level pro qualifying shows
    if NABBA continues to hold womens bbing classes
    this could be an option for those women who don't want to switch to physique class

    NABBA Canada is not a Natural Bodybuilding competitive organization of itself. The opportunity within our organization to sanction Natural contests if serious and sincere promoter intent seeks an event on this basis. Our organization aspires for the health and well being of all participants, competitors, potential competitors and enthusiasts all alike. Thank you for your interest as above even if determined as it is.
