AI NOSTRI ANNUNCI DELL’AVVENUTO RICONOSCIMENTO AL GAISF DELLA KICK BOXING E DELLA MUAY THAI, DA PARTE DELLE DUE FEDERAZIONI INTERNAZIONALI WAKO ED IFMA, SONO SEGUITI QUELLI DI ENNIO FALSONI E DAVIDE CARLOT. POI ENNIO FALSONI, RAVVISANDO FORSE ALCUNE IMPRECISIONI IN QUELLA DI DAVIDE CARLOT GLI HA RISPOSTO… E QUEST’ULTIMO ADESSO REPLICA A LUI TRAMITE LA NOSTRA RIVISTA ELETTRONICA

“CAZZ…” OLIMPICHE? NOI LO CHIAMIAMO SOGNO

Di: Davide Carlot

Non appena ho pubblicato l’annuncio dell’entrata della IFMA nel GAISF, eccomi recapitare la lettera del dottor Ennio Falsoni, presidente FIKB che sotto riporto (lettera che, a detta delle telefonate che ho ricevuto, ha fatto il giro dell’Italia in un istante e che è apparsa anche su vari siti di informazione del settore).

Mi si rimprovera di aver detto una “cazzata”, scusate il linguaggio, ma riporto quanto scritto dal dott. Falsoni, di “piantarla” perché la muay thai non sarà mai uno sport Olimpico.

Sarà… ma io credo in questo grande sogno e ci credono anche Mr.Hein Verbruggen, presidente GAISF, che nel report ufficiale mandatoci dalla IFMA “assicura come la muay thai sia uno sport davvero diffuso tra le arti marziali e che con l’entrata nel GAISF il sogno delle Olimpiadi può diventare realtà” ([…]Mr. Verbruggen assured that Muaythai is a very popular sport among the other martial arts and that with inclusion of GAISF the dream of MUAYTHAI towards Olympic can become reality.[…]), e anche il Principe di Thailandia che “ha chiesto al generale Pichitr Kullavanijaya di dare un supporto ulteriore alla muay thai nel suo cammino verso i Giochi Olimpici. ([…]Beside, the Crown Prince asked Gen. Pichitr for the externally support from the audiences and work for Muaythai toward the Olympic Games […]).

Sarà… forse dirò “cazzate” e dovrei “piantarla” di “riempirmi la bocca con la parola Olimpiade”, ma sono contento almeno di non essere il solo a dirlo e a sostenerlo, anzi, sono contento perché sono davvero in bella compagnia visto le personalità mezionate.

Forse avranno detto anche loro delle “cazzate”? Chissà…

TESTO DEL REPORT INTEGRALE UFFICIALE INOLTRATOMI DALLA IFMA: MUAYTHAI included in GAISF:

The visitation to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Thailand

It has been 10 years ago that IFMA in the name of MUAYTHAI has applied to become a member of the General Assembly International Sports Federation. To become a member of GAISF, a sport must follow the highest criteria and it was in 2002 that MUAYTHAI was invited to GAISF in Zurich in order to be instructed on the exact guidelines for GAISF inclusion. IFMA has followed these guidelines. The President and General Secretary of GAISF have been invited by the Royal Thai Government in 2005 to visit the MUAYTHAI Cultural Festival in order for them to experience first hand the beauty of MUAYTHAI.
On the 8th of April, the dream of MUAYTHAI comes finally true as the General Assembly of GAISF by overwhelming majority voted MUAYTHAI under the umbrella of IFMA to become a full member. Thailand and the World have been with a great joy.
