WAKO’s mission is to place the Athletes at the heart of the Sport of Kickboxing.

We are the Athletes’ Committee (WAKO AC) that serves as a link between the most important unit of the organization, the Athletes and WAKO. We make sure that the Kickboxers’ voices are heard and taking into proper consideration.

Our motto is “ATHLETES FIRST” as without the athletes, there would be no need for sports organizations at all.

Our mission is to 

– Support and protect clean and fair sport

– Empower and ensure Athlete representation in the WAKO decision-making processes

– Support Athlete development in their sporting and non-sporting careers (Dual Career)

– Provide advices to the WAKO Board of Directors and maintain close cooperation with the WAKO

Committees

– Ensure direct communication between the Athletes and WAKO

– Maintain a link with the IOC Athletes’ Commission

– Engage in relevant athlete-related projects

If you are an Athlete, you can directly contact your country’s WAKO National Federation for more information on the national athletes’ committee or feel free to contact us for general guidance regarding athlete related issues on
