IFMA held a very important seminar focusing on international sport practice and the Olympic Movement. One of the key speakers was Dr. Santiparb former Governor of the Sport Authority of Thailand and advisor to the President of the Olympic Committee of Asia. IFMA is recognized by the OCA, GAISF, and WADA is already included in TAIFISA Sport for All, the ARAFURA games and more. The organisation is moving diligently forward towards IOC recognition. The seminar was held to outline the responsibilities which IFMA holds as the international federation responsible for amateur muaythai and their inclusion in the Olympic movement under GAISF. The workshop was well-received and the next stop will be the Summer and Winter IOC and GAISF Meeting in Denver, CO where muaythai will have a promotional exhibit to promote muaythai to the Olympic community.
