Dear members

Dear members of the global hand-to-hand combat community,

I extend my sincere congratulations to everyone on Christmas and the New Year.

The year 2025 is a historic milestone for the development of hand-to-hand combat as a sport worldwide, marked by the establishment of the new International Federation IFAR.

I wish success and unity to the athletes of national federations. For us, the protection of sporting principles, traditions, and professional ethics is of great importance, and above all, the solidarity of all stakeholders for the further development of our sport around the world.

I express my gratitude to all national federations, athletes, coaches, and sports officials for their passion and dedication to hand-to-hand combat.

I wish you outstanding sporting achievements and victories in the new sporting year.
