Unique WAKO World Championships:
The WAKO Senior world championships are normally split in two different
events hosting specific styles. This year all the styles will be held in
Hungary. Due to the size of WAKO and the amount of different countries in
attendance this will be an experience of a life time.
For fighters who made the National / President Squads at the 2017 SA`s.
Should there be a national and a president`s squad member in the same
weight category the national squad member will get preference should his /
her info and deposit be in before the due date. WAKO senior championships
only allows for one fighter per weight division.
The championships will take place from 4 to 12 November 2017. We are
planning to leave on 3 November 2017 and will be returning on 13 November
2017. These times can be changed but it gives you a good indication for
your planning.

- These categories must be confirmed on the official invite which we have
not yet received.
Participants
– There may only be one fighter per weight division, per country. The best
of the best. This is why WAKO is the only official kickboxing organization
accepted by Sport accord and by the International World Games Association.
Taking the amount of divisions into consideration we can take a large team
to the champs. Weight divisions for the various categories can be found on
the WAKO web site.
Medical
– Every fighter must have the WAKO medical form completed by a medical
doctor confirming that he / she is fit and healthy to do kickboxing at the

travel and medical insurance will be compulsory for each fighter. This
will be included in the air fare.
