WKAsanctioned

WKAsanctioned is a term that refers to an action, decision, or outcome that has received official approval or endorsement from the WKA. The WKA, which stands for the World Kickboxing Association, is a prominent international governing body for the sport of kickboxing. When something is "WKA sanctioned," it means it has met the standards, rules, and regulations set forth by the organization.

This sanctioning is typically applied to kickboxing events, such as tournaments and professional fights. It signifies that the competition is conducted according to WKA guidelines, which can include aspects like fighter eligibility, weight classes, scoring systems, medical supervision, and safety protocols. A WKA sanctioned event often implies a level of legitimacy and adherence to established professional standards within the sport.

Fighters, promoters, and organizations often seek WKA sanctioning to gain credibility, access a wider audience, and ensure that competitions are conducted fairly and safely. The sanctioning process usually involves an application and review by the WKA to confirm that all requirements are met. Once sanctioned, the event or action is recognized by the WKA and its member organizations worldwide. This can be important for ranking purposes, championship titles, and the overall development and regulation of professional kickboxing.
