Why the need for WCK

WCK has been formed :

To strive to be a non-political International kickboxing organization which will focus on developing itself and creating itself as its own entity purely for the sport of Kickboxing
To provide itself as a training , grading and certifying International authority which would present its experienced officials with opportunities to work with world class kickboxing brands and promotions as well its own events through the worldwide network of championships and tournaments.
To create a worldwide database [ comprising of kickboxers from different striking promotions and organizations ] on one platform with an international ranking system which will be available to all online via our website.
To host and organise training seminars at state , national and international levels for all kickboxing instructors globally.
To provide a ranking system for all kickboxing instructors which would be globally recognised.
To sanction national and international kickboxing shows across the world both amateur and pro
