Mr. Amir MOSADEGH, WKF IRAN and MMA division World president

 

WKF CHINA meets WKF IRAN, Wushu meets MMA

WKF IRAN president Mr. Amir MOSADEGH is our high respected WKF ASIA continental director.

On the last World meeting of board of directors 2018 in Argentina, the majority confirmed for Mr. Mosadegh as our WKF MMA division World president.

Best decision, than we had already Asian continental title in MMA in Thailand (!) and few other MMA titles in Asia.

 

Are you tough enough ? USA needs YOU

In the last World Championships 2018 in Buenos Aires, WKF IRAN fighters were so strong and successfully in ring sport division. Almost all fights end by KO !

WKF World 2021

Mr. Mosadegh was like an ambassador for his country, and many people was surprised about his nice and friendly style.

And from 8 fighters in Low kick division, Iran had one fighter in any weigh category – WKF IRAN won seven Gold and one Silver medal !!!

Furthermore Mr. Mosadegh had many meetings with other WKF Asian presidents. A very good cooperation for future projects started with e.g. WKF WUSHU & SANDA division World president Sifu YAN Dinan

For the World Championships in Egypt 18th to 24th October 2021 many tough Iranian Champions will come to challenge all our African teams  and “the rest of the World”. 

In MMA as well as in ring sport, of course, male and females !

 

“We would like to challenge few US Champions, in a fair play fight” 

 

Mr. Mosadegh said. No POLITICS – just sport !

 

WKF IRAN could be again one of the biggest and strongest team.

Just the weekend before is the annual World referee seminar , to extend or get WKF official license.  Last Year in Romania 70 referees attended from 35 countries !

WKF JAPANESE KATA LIST

WKF KOREAN FORMEN LIST

As everybody know, the World Championship is coming up in Egypt in October.

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.

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

Budo weapons for forms 1

Budo weapons for forms 2

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 

World Championship in Cairo, Egypt.
