IFMA
The world association IFMA on the way to the Olympic Games
Thai boxing, also known as Muay Thai, is a full-contact sport with unique challenges. As the name suggests, this martial art has its origins in Thailand. Traditional rituals combine fist, kick, knee, elbow, and clinch techniques, resulting in a realistic fight display. It is not for nothing that Muay Thai is considered one of the most demanding martial arts worldwide. With the founding of the IFMA (International Federation of Amateur Muaythai) in 1993, the sport in the amateur sector was given global guidelines. Amateur competitions are held under the IFMA in more than 130 countries. The association not only stands for the spread of the sport but is also committed to the safety of the athletes. The IFMA organizes world, European and junior world championships independently. Due to the outstanding association work, Muaythai received recognition from the Olympic Committee under the auspices of the IFMA in 2016. Therefore, it is possible to experience Muaythai at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
