World Kickboxing Federation

Dear friends in martial arts!

Respected WKF country presidents!

As everybody know, the European Championship in Wels, Austria is coming closer. Confirmed date is October, 24th to 29th!

Today we have 14 categories for forms/Kata/poomse/Hyong/creative   etc.

To avoid any misunderstandings on the tatami or mat, I would like to ask you kindly one more time to read carefully the online WKF rule book for forms.

To see what is a traditional form, have a look here in two lists of forms.

What are the dress codes?

When does the timer start e.g. for traditional forms with and without weapons ?

Any traditional form / Kata etc. can be customized, but it still has to be recognizable. From our official WKF recognized List and a traditional Japanese or Korean form or Kata!

In creative and freestyle:  also compiled (with parts of existing forms) form using traditional techniques is permitted.

What is the time limit in creative forms or soft style forms?

All traditional Forms must be using traditional moves only. A traditional Form / Kata / Pommse / Hyong etc. must resemble a traditional work, an adaptation will be acceptable if added moves are of a traditional nature.

Any so called “allstyle” form is not a traditional one!

For any creative forms is just the division creative forms with music, with and without weapon.

Once again I kindly ask you read the online forms rule book , available in 4 languages!

There you will find exactly what is a traditional form, where is which time limit, what is a creative form and so on.

I thank you for the cooperation so far and wish all of us many traditional participants and a successful European Championship in Wels, Austria.

The first day was Saturday 16th in Bogotá by promoter Héctor Gómez, where 18 people took part in the training and on Sunday 17th in Bucaramanga, 38 people from different departments of Colombia and Venezuela met to take part in the training given by promoter attend the training organized for Colombia by Luis Midworld.

Both days were intense and back and forth with great participation from the participants. These trainings will focus on the World Kickboxing Federation’s next international commitments, such as the South American/Pan American 2023 in Argentina and the 2024 World Championship in France, where a large participation from the American continent is expected.

Colombia retained the 71 Kilo – K1 Rules title On Saturday, July 23rd, as part of the Andean League of Colombia, the fight for the PRO-AM Continental Title took place at 71 kilos. The intended format was Super 4 and Chile, Colombia, Venezuela and Argentina participated.

In the first round, Argentina’s Leonel Garnica defeated fellow Venezuelan Leonel Barreto on points in an intense 3-round bout. On the other hand, Colombian Carlos Mario Gutierrez defeated his Chilean Diego Araya by KO in the first round. Reaching the final Argentina and Colombia.

The final lasted only one round, the Colombian hitting an uppercut on the Argentine’s nose, causing the technical KO in the first round. In this way the belt stayed in Colombia and we congratulate the current continental champion Carlos Mario Gutiérrez who joins the CHILE champion of the 67 kilos of K1.

We appreciate the participation of the countries CHILE, led by Rodrigo Miño Silva, VENEZUELA, led by Alfredo Cuevas, COLOMBIA, led by promoters Luis Mediomundo and Hector Gomez, and Argentina, represented by Carlos Suarez.
