ramcalgary Posted March 16, 2002 Posted March 16, 2002 Can someone please tell me why for the good of the sport the WKA,KICK,IKF and the millions of other alphabet soup boys do not merge together into one group. Can these people not see what these types of groups have done to pro boxing? How can you promote a world champion when there are 50,000 in each weight division and each fighting category. If there were only one set of world rankings and one set of champions. Then maybe our sport would have a chance to succeed better. I propose one new NON PROFIT organization be in charge of world rankings with all promoters reporting results to this new organization. I would call this organization...the Kickboxng Ranking Association Program or KRAP for short. All kidding aside although organizations like the WKA have put kickboxing on the map. It is time to stop internal fighting and think of the sport first. Honor is the most important thing a man has once you lose it it is gone forever
Prodigy-Child Posted March 16, 2002 Posted March 16, 2002 well there is a sanction called WAKO......World Association of Kickboxing organizations..... they are a very good santioning body, that and WPKA - World Profi Kickboxing Association but i can see what you are getting at Ram! this is primarily one of the reasons why kickboxing isnt getting into the olympics!

ramcalgary Posted March 17, 2002 Author Posted March 17, 2002 wako and wpka are just more alphabet soup boys remember joe corley and the pka ran pro kickboxing into the ground by using their own fave fighters to become world champs Honor is the most important thing a man has once you lose it it is gone forever
Prodigy-Child Posted March 17, 2002 Posted March 17, 2002 well you cannot stop people from making more and more sanctioning bodies for their sport Ram. thats why my coach fights in alot of different sanctioning bodies and will soon have me fighting in different sanctioining bodies i used to fight for the WKA...but not anymore now im fighitng for the WPKA and hopefully later this year ill be fighitng for WAKO as long as u fight in as many different sactions as u can i think u will eliminate the danger of being an empty champion [ This Message was edited by: Prodigy-Child on 2002-03-17 08:51 ] You can boo me if you want, You know I'm right!-Chris Rock
ZeRo Posted May 14, 2002 Posted May 14, 2002 hi i train with the AKA american kickboxing assosiation do any of you people know anything about them?
Danny boy Posted May 15, 2002 Posted May 15, 2002 The only ones that are really recognised here in Australia are the Thai ones run by the Thai government.WMC and the IFMA. They are run and sanctioned by the Government not by businessmen who just want to make a profit. The ISKA and WKA used to be quite strong here but since the majority of people are involved in Muay Thai they have faded. I think the big issue isn't so much what title some one has its matching of the elete like the K 1 series that really excites the general public. 2 great fighters of equal skill is what its all about not someone with a noname world title.
