WAKO Europe started SAFE Combat Erasmus+ project promotion at the International Kickboxing Cup Yokoso Dutch Open in Amsterdam, 21-23 March 2025.
The project has been promoted with a video about the project and its essence.
The YOKOSO international cup with 143 clubs from Europe, 1089 athletes entries from 17 countries was a perfect occasion to introduce partnership of WAKO Europe in this project, aimed to protecting athletes in combat sports from harassment and abuse, educating coaches and certifying safe clubs.
Violence and abuse in sport can result from a number of factors, the most common are:
– coach-athlete relationships
– vulnerability of the young athletes
– sport clubs and federations that oversee and regulate sport.
