World Association of Kickboxing Organizations
World Association of Kickboxing Organizations (W.A.K.O or WAKO now WAK) is an international organization of kickboxing and the governing body of the amateur kickboxing sport, which is certified by SportAccord. WAKO is made up of two organizations: WAKO is for people competing at an amateur level, and WAKO PRO is for people competing at a professional level. Besides holding world championship events, WAKO sanctions the champions of kickboxing. Recently (2015) WAKO was renamed to be the World Association of Kickboxing (WAK).
==History==
WAKO started its activities in Europe in 1976 and created the rules and regulations for the new fighting sport, acting as the Kickboxing Federation of the World. It was founded by American kickboxing promoter Mike Anderson and his friend, German kickboxing promoter, George Bruckner. WAKO is a democratically driven, world governing body of sport that is officially registered in Zurich, Switzerland. Today, WAKO is the largest unified kickboxing organization in the world.
In 2006, the ''International Amateur Kickboxing Sports Association'' (I.A.K.S.A) and WAKO merged under the umbrella of WAKO, making possible its acceptance by the General Association of International Sports Federations (G.A.I.S.F) as the governing body for the sport of Kickboxing. WAKO offers 7 different styles: Points Fighting, light-contact, full-contact, kick-light, low-kick, K1-style, and musical forms. Today WAKO can count on 126 affiliated nations in the five continents, with 95 officially recognized by their respective Sports or Olympic Council.
WAKO is the only International Federation and governing body of sport of Kickboxing as a member of Sport Accord. WAKO is officially recognized by Sport Accord, Olympic Council of Asia, WADA and the International World Games Association as the official Kickboxing governing body. Kickboxing is included in World Combat Games, Asian Indoor Games, the Martial Arts Games (promoted by OCA), and is a demonstration sport in the 2017 International World Games. WAKO has five continental divisions functioning under the auspices of the WAKO International Federation which are WAKO Europe, WAKO Pan America, WAKO Asia, WAKO Oceania and WAKO Africa.
