WAKO endorses seven distinct disciplines under its purview: three ring events – full contact, low kick, and K1 style, and four tatami events – point fighting, kick light, light contact, and musical forms. These varied disciplines foster continuous learning and engagement.

Kickboxing provides an avenue for athletes to engage in a health-boosting regime of physical activities in a safe, regulated, recreational, and competitive environment. It promotes understanding and respect for individual differences among participants in classes or competitions. This diversity offers a wide range of opportunities for training and exercising in unique ways.
