Hi Phil,
The aim of many groups worldwide is to see Thai-Kickboxing as an Olympic sport.
It is far easier to follow in the footsteps of another, who has already completed a difficult but succesfull journey, than to forge one in a different direction that may lead to no-where.
To explain more clearly. The Olympic Games are about peace, and athletes competing against one another in friendship to help exand understanding of differing cultures and nations.
Combat sports have been allowed to be part of the games under certain criteria. FIGHTERS do not FIGHT each other in FIGHTS.
PLAYERS COMPETE against one another in a SPORT.
Hence athletes from Judo, Boxing and Taekwondo are referred to as PLAYERS.
This is why the term PLAYER is used in A.K.A. Competitions. Following an Olympic Theme.
As I mentioned earlier, following a succesfull path already paved will lead to a greater chance of recognition.
Olympic Amateur Boxing uses Headgear and Score Machines. Love them or Loath them, the I.O.C. accepts them.
Olympic Amateur Taekwondo uses further safety equipment such as Bodyshields etc. Love them or Loath them, the I.O.C. Accepts them.
Take a minute, click onto the A.K.A. website. I reccomend that you watch the British Middleweight Title contest fearturing Ben Dukes ( Leeds ) and Warren Caulder ( Bury-St-Edmunds ) that is on there.
Could this one day be Olympic Kickboxing?
If Thai-Kickboxing was Modified along certain lines, already acceptable by the I.O.C. you never know!
