World championship assaut - light contact savate 2008

19.9-20.9.2008, Paris, France. I wish that this competition would be the triumph of sport savate and very important milestone for inclusion French boxing - Boxe Francaise as official sport in AGFIS and all Olympic Comittees all around the world. We wait for this moment for years.

One of the biggest kickboxing clubs from Croatia writes about Lolek and Bolek brothers from well known Polish cartoon, and compare them with president: Predrag Znaor and vice president: Romeo Deša also member of Organizing Committee WAKO.
They accuse them for almost everything you can imagine. You can read or translate words from Kutina kickboxing website. I think something is changing in Croatia.

Unfair decision

By my opinion, bald headed is much better. Judges? Will you have on 2008 WC eyes like on 2006 world championship where kness were broken on light contact match one after another? And we saw also KO? How this could happen? Do we have FIS official judges licences and passports? Judges circulate like ghosts on our competitions, without evidence.

Wu-shu kung fu on Beijing olympics 2008

Source: http://www.iwuf.org/news_photo_1.asp?id=417




China has pushed unsuccessfully to have the ancient martial art of wushu — better known as kung fu outside of China — included as a demonstration sport in the 2008 Olympics. Instead, the International Olympic Committee has granted permission for an international wushu competition alongside the Games, something Chinese state media are promoting as an Olympic showcasing of the sport.

Pushing with the head and grappling

Dangerous elements for savate combat tournaments. Every move like that calls judges to decide whether for warnings, minus points or even disqualifications. In a small and young Slovenia combat fight still try to find its real shape to develop form that satisfy international savate standards and judging rules on official FIS tournaments.

Although it is dangerous, causes bone cancer, reduce speed of leg kicks and destroy very useful learning of tactics. All in all - creators of worlds fashion knows things better than we think.

AIBA launches revolutionary World League

AIBA President Dr. Ching-Kuo Wu with the President of IMG International, Mr. Eric Drossart



A new ground breaking tournament designed to reshape the world of international boxing at both the Olympic style and the professional level - the World League of Boxing (WLB) - was unveiled today to the international sporting community, media and all of AIBA's 195 member federations during an official AIBA dinner in Beijing.
In announcing the WLB, AIBA also introduced its new business/marketing partner in connection with WLB - IMG, the world renowned international sports marketing agency.
WLB will be an annual, franchised based professional boxing league with cities/venues/commercial 3rd parties applying to "own" a franchise and enter its team of boxers into the League. The WLB will feature both team and individual based competitions.
AIBA will, with support from its national federations, help facilitate the participation of the world's best boxers in the League, and IMG will source and negotiate the franchises, and sell the commercial rights (media, sponsorship, licensing) around the world in consultation with AIBA.
The exact format of the WLB in respect to the number of teams/franchises, the number of boxers per team, the weight categories and all the finer competition rules are currently under development and the final decisions will be released in due course.
In addition, it is AIBA's intention that boxers that compete in the WLB will be allowed to compete also in future Olympic Games.
AIBA plans to launch the first of WLB in the early part of 2010.
AIBA President Dr. Ching-Kuo Wu praised the new initiative, pointing to its global reach. "The World League of Boxing will revolutionise the sport of boxing like never before providing a universal form of entertainment which will capture the imagination of boxing fans around the world," he said. "With IMG's expertise and commitment to developing a highly valued boxing property which will survive for generations, AIBA aims to provide a boxing legacy which will change the sport forever."
Ian Todd, the President of IMG International, said - "IMG is extremely proud to have been selected by AIBA as its business and marketing partner in connection with the World League of Boxing. With our 40 years of experience in working with some of the world's leading sports federations we are confident that with our skill sets of producing/selling media rights, procuring sponsorship and negotiating franchise agreements we can build the World League of Boxing into one of the world's premium annual sporting events with AIBA."
About the International Boxing Association

In 1946 a new start was given with the launch of AIBA to replace the dissolved FIBA and now, more than 60 years later, AIBA, with its 195 member federations, continues to govern the sport of Boxing, working for the benefit of the sport and all its participants, to help Boxing realise its potential within the Olympic Movement and the international sporting arena.

10th world WTF and ITF taekwondo festival & Korea Open




Source: http://www.tkdfamily.net/home/en_main.html#

The 10th anniversary of World Taekwondo Festival and Korea Classic Open 2008 was ended extending over 5 days, competing in the presence of 1,500+ people attending from 53 countries across the different parts of the world.
This will be remembered not only as the first instance of an ever lasting dream of WTF being together with ITF, rewriting a book of Taekwondo history but also as one of most productive and beneficial time spent by the members in attendance as we would reconfirm that “we are one thru Taekwondo.“
The time spent and the results produced will unite all WTF +ITF members world wide with better understanding and harmony for true family environment.


How to explain that we have two versions of taekwondo? No need to explain - because they say they are united under the name of the same word taekwondo. Should it be the same for boxing? English, American, Thai, French, Kick and other versions of boxing?

Here - both versions compete together but of course separate by ITF (non-olympic) and WTF (olympic) rules.

IFMA, which has been a partner of the OCA since the inclusion of Muaythai (Muay) as a demonstration sport in the 1998 Asian Games, has gained huge popularity and is included in the SEA Games, Indoor Asian Games and also in the TAFISA World Sport For All Games under patronage of the IOC.

The sport has also experienced a huge boost in popularity since the production of the Contender Asia Muaythai reality series, which has been at the top of the ratings in 23 countries across Asia on AXN. Many important issues were on the agenda such as the next Indoor Asian Games, the 2010 GAISF Martiad Combat Games and the planned Asian Martial Arts Games under the OCA.

IFMA and the OCA agreed on close cooperation towards martial arts in general.

Muay thai or Thai-kickboxing ?



There were times when problems of recognising Thai national sport were present also in AGFIS - whether it is Thai kickboxing or Muay thai?
And no one could find an answer. IFMA and WAKO then made silent agreement - that waikru and bare feet low-kick with knees and elbows is Muay thai, and WAKO found it without Wai-kru as thai - (kick)boxing or later modified K1 style.
In IFMA in England we see a poster talking about Thai-kickboxing beetwen England and Thailand.
I think this is OK, because it opens the doors to unique and wide understanding of recognised and very popular thai style fighting.

"Taekwondo Football" at McArthur High School

Promotional video for comBATON's Tournament of Games, Game #1. comBATON has some similarities to football but instead of blocking and tackling, players contact their opponent(s) with martial art kicks. Two teams play on a field approximately the size of an high school gym, there are 3 players on each team. A baton is used as the focus of the game as would a football, soccer ball or basketball would be for their games. The offense has control of the baton. The offensive player with possession of the baton can score on their opponent's goal pole by dislodging it with a martial art kick. Around the goal the strategy has similarities to basketball in that the baton can be thrown to teammates in order to find the open player in position to shoot on the goal and score.
