Attention: Ricky,
Dear Ricky,
RE: 2015 WAKO (WORLD ASSOCIATION OF KICKBOXING ORGANIZATIONS)
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS - SPONSORSHIP REQUEST:
Allow me by means of this Sponsorship Request document to introduce you to five of
South Africa’s National Kickboxing Squad Members:
Johan Westervelt
Adele Rootman
Andrea Beneke
Melissa Berg
Thabo Chauke
; and the exciting world of competitive Kickboxing; a stand-up combat sport that has
gained tremendous popularity over the last couple of decades and is their greatest
passion. As you may or may not be aware Kickboxing is an exhilarating and challenging
sport and presents much untapped prestige. It’s definitely alive and well in the South
African community and on the African continent as a whole.
We are hereby inviting you to not only make your mark on a first class sport, but also
simultaneously inviting you to aid in the development of a group of fine young people
and high level athletes. Their goal is simple; to be the best that they can be and to excel
in this sport that they are fervent about. They are firm believers in the fact that this not
only means being part of the National Squad but also being well respected and
contributing members of the community, especially amongst the youth and women of
this beautiful country.
This is their dream and together with the partnership of elite organizations as
yourselves they can try and succeed. Unfortunately as with most sports in the country
Kickboxing is experiencing a short fall in funding and these athletes’ limited personal
resources unfortunately do not make up for the shortcomings that they frequently face
with regards to participation in the sport and this is why they are seeking your support.
You would probably be in agreement that all four of these athletes each boast with an
impressive resume of skills and a long list of achievements and accomplishments
already under the belt as evident in their respective portfolio’s provided here under.
4. 4
In exchange for your financial support, not only can you be guaranteed that they will
work their hardest but they can also offer you a package of personal benefits suited to
your company’s needs but are not limited to;
Branding
Media Connections
Personal Appearances
Public Speaking
Brand Ambassadors
Corporate Functions
One on One Lessons and group lessons for your employees
Branding on South African Kickboxing Association’s website
Regular Progress Reports
Local and International Visibility
Integrated Marketing Communications Effort
Showcasing product attributes
Sales Drives
Sense of wellbeing
These above mentioned benefits are discussed in detail later on in the document but
there are of course a plethora of other benefits to explore and discuss.
As this year draws to a close, this would be the perfect opportunity for your esteemed
establishment to assist these athletes in participating in the 2015 WAKO (World
Association of Kickboxing Organizations) World Championships in Ireland in November
and end the year on a high note. Please refer to page 18 for full detail pertaining to the
event.
These athletes are coming from a very successful season. 2015 has encouraged and left
them with more enthusiasm and determination than ever before and surely with their
hard work and dedication and with your valued support they can close off the season in
style and set the tone for 2016.
Please bear in mind that these funds will go into aiding these athletes who are
performing at their best and are becoming responsible members and role models in
their communities that the youth can look up to. They are familiar with the
fundamentals of hard labour, time and dedication and also act as ambassadors not only
for the sport, their communities, the North Gauteng Province, the country but also
possibly for your organization as well.
Please consider this proposal as a starting point. Due to the different needs of each
organization there may be additional or more modest opportunities to be explored. We
look forward to meeting with you either in person or by means of SKYPE or telephonic
communication etc to discuss your company’s philanthropic goals and desires and you
can be assured that this meeting will not require more than a few minutes of your time
and is of course without obligation.

ABOUT
WORLD ASSOCIATION OF KICKBOXING ORGANIZATIONS (WAKO):
**Excerpt from official website**
WAKO is the largest kickboxing organization in existence. WAKO started its activity in
Europe in 1976 . The founder was Mr. George Bruckner from Berlin, who promoted the first
ever World Championships in Semi and Full Contact Karate (as it was called in those days)
back in 1978 with 110 competitors representing 18 countries. WAKO immediately created
the rules and regulations for the new fighting sports and acted - since the very beginning, as
the authentic Kickboxing Federation in the world. In our Championships, only national teams
are accepted. Each member country can present only 1 competitor in each weight class, the
best, and “la crème de la crème”. Our World Championships are NOT open competitions
where everybody can try, spending a few dollars, to become "World Champ" like they do
almost every week-end in USA.
Each competitor has gone through a long selection in his country before competing in
WAKO tournaments and normally he is the national champ of his weight class in that
particular kickboxing style. (WAKO offers 7 different styles: Semi Contact, Light Contact,
Kick-Light, Full Contact, Low-Kick, K1 Rules, and musical forms: 4 styles are on Tatami or
mats, 3 in the ring). Therefore WAKO guarantees the best possible kickboxing fights and its
gold medalists are true champions. Today WAKO can count on 118 affiliated nations in the 5
continents, and in the greatest majority of cases, WAKO unites the strongest and best national
kickboxing organizations. WAKO has today 85 affiliated national federations which are
officially recognized by either their National Olympic Committees or by their Highest
Government Sport Authorities.
Today WAKO counts on a market of Kickboxer estimated to be around 3.000,000
participants and no less than 25,000 clubs around the globe. We promote, nationally and
internationally, more than 1,000 amateur events a year. These figures speak for themselves.
Now officially recognized by GAISF and by OCA, WAKO is growing steadily all over the
world regularly promoting continental and world championships and organizes "open" events
that spread the word about our movement, attracting thousands of spectators to sports-arenas.
In 2007 WAKO participated in the African Games, held in Algiers (Algeria) in July for the
first time and in the 2nd ASIAN INDOOR GAMES held in Macau (China) in October. It
happened the same in Bangkok (Thailand) and then in Ho Chi Min City (Vietnam) in 2009.
WAKO, being a member of SPORTACCORD ( former GAISF) , together with other IFs,
have contributed to create the WORLD COMBAT GAMES, an event which gathered the
élites of the Martial Arts and Fighting Sport Federations in Beijing in 2010 , an umbrella
organization stressing excellency in our sports.
The second edition of the WORLD COMBAT GAMES was held in St. Petersburg (Russia)
in October 2013.
13. 13
Our strength lies precisely both in our numbers and quality.
WAKO opened the doors to “kicks to the legs” in 1991 and only recently to Thai boxing.
This is how it came about.
We like to say that “life is continuous change, and only those who can adapt to change
survive”. The essence of the whole story lies in this universal aphorism. WAKO now
embraces 7 disciplines: Semi-, Light- and Full-Contact, Low-Kick, Thai/Kickboxing, musical
forms and Aero/Kickboxing. Some might say 7 is too many - others maintain that it is
necessary for WAKO kickboxing to include a wide range of possibilities to satisfy the
requirements of any enthusiast who approaches our world for the first time. According to his
psycho/physical make-up, each person is free to choose the specialty that best suits him. And
he enjoys himself. Taking part in kickboxing for the benefits to physical and mental hygiene,
simply for the pleasure of feeling “in shape”, is now one of the major factors pushing
millions of people toward our sport. But one can also participate due to a desire to learn self-
defence technique or to try, through competition, to excel in one of the specific disciplines.
Obviously, this has not always been the case.
In 1974, Mike Anderson and his partners (including George Bruckner) offered the world, for
the first time, a show that featured only “Full Contact Karate” in the event they promoted in
Los Angeles, which was destined to become the cornerstone of our history.
In 1978, when George Bruckner promoted the first World Championships of WAKO (World
All-Styles Karate Organizations, which was formed to compete with WUKO - the World
Union of Karate-Do Organizations) he only had competition in full contact and semi contact.
The same can be said about 1979 in Tampa, Florida, the second edition of the World
Championships promoted by Mike Anderson.
How then and why did we come to the present situation? George Bruckner, an authentic
“revolutionary” in the world of Martial Arts - considering the gap between traditional karate
and full contact karate, which he helped to launch and popularize around the world - was
actually a great “conservative”. While he chose full contact karate as the maximum technical
expression of the new discipline, he didn't want to go any further in its development. He
believed it was dangerous for the fighters to attack with leg kicks (because it would shorten
their competitive careers) and, wrongly, that those who attacked the thighs did so only
because they were unable to kick higher. In other words, he regarded low-kick fighters as
almost handicapped, people with hip-femur joint problems. He thought they were lacking as
“artists” and he believed all full contact fighters should imitate Bill Wallace, who was the
best in his day at understanding and interpreting full contact. But Wallace in his prime would
never have agreed to fight low-kick because he had suffered serious ligament damage as a
college wrestler. In fact, Bill used only his left foot for kicking. Bruckner was clearly wrong,
and he also refused to observe what was happening outside of his new world. Unfortunately,
he didn't realize that in the rest of the world important things were taking place that should
have made him wary. While he and Mike Anderson were busy consolidating WAKO, which
14. 14
was basically an amateur organization, there were others who, following the model of
professional boxing, had founded two professional organizations that had the same goals:
promote and sanction fights all over the world and sell the television rights of the major
events. These two organizations were PKA (Professional Karate Association) and WKA
(World Karate Association). Both were founded in the U.S.A.
The PKA was born following the famous event promoted by Mike Anderson with the
collaboration of Don and Judy Quine. In 1974 Mike Anderson left the PKA to the Quine’s,
who had been the principal financial backers of his event. The WKA was founded in the
autumn of 1976, just two years later, by Howard Hanson and Arnold Urquidez, brother of the
more famous Benny, who shortly later became the true standard bearer of the organization
throughout the world.
What distinguished PKA from WKA?
The fact that the former was essentially involved in full contact (and Bill Wallace became its
symbol), while WKA was involved in both full contact and a Japanese variation with the
possibility of attacking the opponent's thighs with kicks using the shin.
PKA operated primarily in North America and in Europe for a few years, especially in
subsequent years when PKA was run by Joe Corley, a Georgian whose interests now are
limited to his “Academies” and his most famous tournament, The Battle of Atlanta.
The WKA was founded because Benny Urquidez had opened “the door to the Orient”.
Benny, who was born in 1952, is an American Indian weighing little more than 63 kilos. He
was a truly exceptional athlete with highly refined technique and an indomitable spirit. He
was invited to Japan for a series of matches against the best local fighters, almost all of which
he won. In a short time, Benny “The Jet” Urquidez, as he was known, became a legend in the
1980s. The background of both Wallace and Urquidez was in karate, the martial art they
would soon leave to turn professional in the new discipline that had become more lucrative
for them.
During the 1980s in America and Asia PKA and WKA prospered in the professional aspects
of some of the disciplines we now practice, while in Europe WAKO (which was forced to
change its name to the World Association of Kickboxing Organizations to avoid legal
problems with WUKO) continued to grow and get better organized in the major countries.
The turning point came toward the end of the 1980s. First of all, since 1984 WAKO had been
led by Italy's Ennio Falsoni, a former WUKO world karate championship runner-up (1972)
who had a more “open” mind than George Bruckner and fewer preconceptions. While the
PKA was winding down, in large part due to the retirement from competition of their star
attraction, Bill “Superfoot” Wallace, the WKA, which had lost both Howard Hanson and
Arnold Urquidez, penetrated Europe with Holland's Fred Royers and started promoting semi ,
light and full contact, disciplines that had previously been the exclusive domain of WAKO.
Ennio Falsoni attempted to reach an agreement with Fred Royers. The idea was for WAKO
and WKA to sign an exclusive collaboration pact in which WKA would stay out of WAKO
15. 15
territory and WAKO would give WKA exclusive rights to “kicks to the legs” and eventually
its best fighters for professional matches.
WKA's answer was negative on all fronts. Evidently they felt they were stronger and since
the proposal came from WAKO, they thought WAKO was weak.
Consequently, during an assembly in Madrid in 1991, WAKO officially decided to adopt a
new specialty, low-kick, and it has been enjoying increasing success ever since. Although at
the time there were few countries interested in low-kick, it was still a winning move. WAKO
had something extra to offer its members and an additional weapon to use against the
competition from WKA.
Those who use low kicks to the legs utilizing the shinbone, and thus must learn how to block
such attacks, soon discover that it all comes from the famous Siamese art of Muay Thai.
Therefore, it is quite natural for a low-kicker to develop an interest in Thai boxing. It happens
in all the gyms where full contact is practiced: everyone experiments with boxing because it
is an absolute necessity; everyone tries both full contact and low-kick; everyone starts using
clinches and using the knee to the ribs, in others words they take up Thai boxing. All fighting
sport athletes must know as many techniques and combinations as possible. It's a personal
necessity, part of an almost obligatory road for those who take up these disciplines
professionally. Then, the fighter develops a preference for this or that aspect of our sport, but
everyone understands the differences and knows the history and the technique. Thus, it was
obvious that WAKO would officially open up to Thai/kickboxing (it happened in 2000) and
aero/kickboxing.
And then there is WAKO-PRO, which was born at the same time as low-kick in WAKO. We
have mentioned PKA and WKA as “professional” organizations. But they were soon joined
by others, WKC, ISKA etc, which call themselves “world sanctioning bodies”, but there is
very little substance behind their names. Unfortunately, for years we had watched, helplessly,
as we developed great champions, only to see other organizations benefit, inserting our
fighters names into their “international rankings”.
Clearly WAKO had to expand into “professionalism” or face losing all of our best fighters.
WAKO's institutional activity, which amounts to organizing world championships every two
years and regional championships in the alternating years, isn't very much and lacks
visibility. But with the activity of WAKO-PRO, we can have our name before the public all
over the world on a weekly basis, as well as having the means and the reason for drawing in
the media for more prestige for us and for our best fighters.
With its latest moves in sports politics, WAKO has aimed to satisfy both its primary needs
and the market's demands, which will prepare our organization for future competition.
We believe that everything has been done to better serve the interests of our members. The
more “services” WAKO offers, given equal costs, the more competitive it will become. This
is a simple law of economics which has changed the life and image of our organization.
