WKF officials in Santorini, Fritz EXENBERGER, Georg PERGIALIS, Sijou VAN DER SPEK and Roman LOGISCH

At the last World Congress in Andria in 2016, a change of rule was made at the request of several state presidents.

The IRC has adopted the rule change and now it is official after the European Championship in Greece.

The rule changes are:

In the WKF Amateur Thai Boxing is fought with elbows and knees also to the head (!). Therefore elbow protectors are also obligatory from now on.

This means that also “spinning elbows” to head with eye contact are correct. Like jumped knees also to the head! The fighting time remains unchanged 3 × 2 minutes.

Mr. Florin MINA WKF ROMANIA president

Unified World Championships…the Greatest Martial Event ever…

Ivan HECKENBERGER, R.I.P.

Today we have got a sad message, that one of our best Hungarian master and old personal friend hast lost his last fight.

Our thoughts are with the family, our condolences. We’ll miss him.

Mint megírtuk, az elismert és népszerű mester pár napja osztotta meg a rossz hírt saját oldalán, amelyben azt írta, hogy sürgősen vérre van szüksége, miután nem sokkal korábban súlyos betegség támadta meg szervezetét. Rengetegen siettek a segítségére, sokan adtak vért a szakember számára.

Mindenki reménykedett, hogy az összefogás meghozza eredményét, és a mester a gyógyulás útjára lép. Ám sajnos a sors máshogyan akarta…

Hiába az összefogás, hiába a segítők ezrei, ma délben az orv betegség legyűrte Heckenberger Ivánt. Ő, akit szinte lehetetlen volt legyőzni a ringben vagy a való életben, ezúttal alulmaradt a gyilkos kórral való küzdelemben.

Németh Péter, Heckenberger Iván és családjának barátja mindössze annyit közölt megkeresésünkre, hogy “mély fájdalommal tudatják, hogy Heckenberger Iván ma délben elhunyt”. Németh Péter a család kérését tolmácsolva elmondta, hogy ennél többet nem kívánnak nyilatkozni.

Sokak nevében mondjuk: Ég veled, mester!
