so this is whats going down in WBC mexico
This is what you can win in a tournament in Mexico held by a the WKC... World Kickboxing Counsel (no, not the WBC... well, actually I don't know because the promoter is also the WBC Muay Thai President in Mexico). I remember a few years back when Sualiaman and Gen. Kovid explicitly said that the union of WBC and Muay Thai was not to be confused with Kickboxing and this was ordered by the King of Thailand. In this tournament, they will be giving out 500 WBC Muay Thai belts (actual size) and 500 WBC Muay Thai metals in a competition that includes Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Full Contact, Wai Kru, Pad Holding... or doing pads, not clear, WUSHU, Karate, Forms, and weapons... We should have never worked so hard and fought to win a belt when we could have won one doing or holding pads. So sad to see the credibility of this cherished green belt get devalued to a simple trophy. I will be excited to see the WBC Muay Thai Champion belt around the guy who has never fought but can do pads really really good and the Karate flip kicker and his Karate Gi.
