They accuse them for almost everything you can imagine. You can read or translate words from Kutina kickboxing website. I think something is changing in Croatia.

Unfair decision
By my opinion, bald headed is much better. Judges? Will you have on 2008 WC eyes like on 2006 world championship where kness were broken on light contact match one after another? And we saw also KO? How this could happen? Do we have FIS official judges licences and passports? Judges circulate like ghosts on our competitions, without evidence.

China has pushed unsuccessfully to have the ancient martial art of wushu — better known as kung fu outside of China — included as a demonstration sport in the 2008 Olympics. Instead, the International Olympic Committee has granted permission for an international wushu competition alongside the Games, something Chinese state media are promoting as an Olympic showcasing of the sport.

Pushing with the head and grappling
Dangerous elements for savate combat tournaments. Every move like that calls judges to decide whether for warnings, minus points or even disqualifications. In a small and young Slovenia combat fight still try to find its real shape to develop form that satisfy international savate standards and judging rules on official FIS tournaments.

French boxers answer on using shin bones in chauss fight. Funny. Honest. But if you want to follow crazy world's taste than you have to compete also with shins. Although it is dangerous, causes bone cancer, reduce speed of leg kicks and destroy very useful learning of tactics. All in all - creators of worlds fashion knows things better than we think. Of course.

AIBA launches revolutionary World League
AIBA President Dr. Ching-Kuo Wu with the President of IMG International, Mr. Eric Drossart
A new ground breaking tournament designed to reshape the world of international boxing at both the Olympic style and the professional level - the World League of Boxing (WLB) - was unveiled today to the international sporting community, media and all of AIBA's 195 member federations during an official AIBA dinner in Beijing.
In announcing the WLB, AIBA also introduced its new business/marketing partner in connection with WLB - IMG, the world renowned international sports marketing agency.
WLB will be an annual, franchised based professional boxing league with cities/venues/commercial 3rd parties applying to "own" a franchise and enter its team of boxers into the League. The WLB will feature both team and individual based competitions.
AIBA will, with support from its national federations, help facilitate the participation of the world's best boxers in the League, and IMG will source and negotiate the franchises, and sell the commercial rights (media, sponsorship, licensing) around the world in consultation with AIBA.
The exact format of the WLB in respect to the number of teams/franchises, the number of boxers per team, the weight categories and all the finer competition rules are currently under development and the final decisions will be released in due course.
In addition, it is AIBA's intention that boxers that compete in the WLB will be allowed to compete also in future Olympic Games.
AIBA plans to launch the first of WLB in the early part of 2010.
AIBA President Dr. Ching-Kuo Wu praised the new initiative, pointing to its global reach. "The World League of Boxing will revolutionise the sport of boxing like never before providing a universal form of entertainment which will capture the imagination of boxing fans around the world," he said. "With IMG's expertise and commitment to developing a highly valued boxing property which will survive for generations, AIBA aims to provide a boxing legacy which will change the sport forever."
Ian Todd, the President of IMG International, said - "IMG is extremely proud to have been selected by AIBA as its business and marketing partner in connection with the World League of Boxing. With our 40 years of experience in working with some of the world's leading sports federations we are confident that with our skill sets of producing/selling media rights, procuring sponsorship and negotiating franchise agreements we can build the World League of Boxing into one of the world's premium annual sporting events with AIBA."

10th world WTF and ITF taekwondo festival & Korea Open
Source: http://www.tkdfamily.net/home/en_main.html#
The 10th anniversary of World Taekwondo Festival and Korea Classic Open 2008 was ended extending over 5 days, competing in the presence of 1,500+ people attending from 53 countries across the different parts of the world.
This will be remembered not only as the first instance of an ever lasting dream of WTF being together with ITF, rewriting a book of Taekwondo history but also as one of most productive and beneficial time spent by the members in attendance as we would reconfirm that “we are one thru Taekwondo.“
The time spent and the results produced will unite all WTF +ITF members world wide with better understanding and harmony for true family environment.
How to explain that we have two versions of taekwondo? No need to explain - because they say they are united under the name of the same word taekwondo. Should it be the same for boxing? English, American, Thai, French, Kick and other versions of boxing?
Here - both versions compete together but of course separate by ITF (non-olympic) and WTF (olympic) rules.
