INVITATION LETTER by WAKO President Mr. Roy Baker

Dear Friends/Dear Presidents,

I am delighted to be able to invite you, your officials and your athletes to the 2021 WAKO Older Cadets and Juniors European Kickboxing Championships in Point Fighting, Light Contact, Kick Light, Low Kick, K1 Rules, Full Contact and Musical Forms which will be held in Budva, Montenegro, 5-14 November 2021. I am personally excited about this Championships and sure this will be an enjoyable one. We are confident that you and your team will thoroughly enjoy the facilities which will be offered to you at the Championships. We must remember that our younger athletes are 70% of our competitive landscape, of our activity, so we must protect, promote and nourish them and their development and growth as a strategic priority of WAKO. They are essence of our future. For us, to be encouraging our young athletes as leaders, means that one or more of the following critical life messages are coming through to them, either by word or by action: “We believe in you, we trust you, we know you can handle this. You are listened to, You are cared for, You are very important to us”. I look forward to meeting you all at the European WAKO event and I personally promise you and your members a memorable experience in Montenegro.

Hoping in your continued understanding and support, and looking forward to seeing you soon again in Budva, Montenegro.

Best regards, Roy Baker WAKO President

Dear WAKO Europe Presidents, Dear WAKO Europe General Secretaries, Dear Coaches, Referee Colleagues, Dear Athletes and sports lovers, I am pleased to invite you to this competition that seems to become reality after such strong and serious efforts. This gives me great joy, because the WAKO Europe family has proven that the pandemic and these hardships – even if only with our collaborative efforts – can be overcomed. We have proven that if we work together, we can achieve so that our athletes will not be left without a true, serious competition. I would like to thank every athlete who, despite the pandemic, fought and trained through the hard times, training outdoors under the sky, or at home or in their small rooms, but never giving up. These athletes never lost hope and no matter the hardships, they still believed in kickboxing and kept kickboxing alive. Thanks to this incredible effort, we can finally meet again and our athletes can finally do what they are truly good at, which is to compete in this wonderful competition, the European Championship. I warmly invite everyone to this competition. With much enthusiasm, I am looking forward to seeing each other in person again, be it athletes, coaches, referees, officials, presidents, general secretaries or simply the fans of the kickboxin sport. Come, let us work and play together and celebrate the success of Kickboxing. Let us meet in November, 2021 in Montenegro. I will see you there and I am concluding my letter with great joy, because kickboxing has won, WAKO has won and our sporting life will resume once again.

Sincerelly, Istvan Kiraly WAKO Europe acting President
