IFMA places youth education inside its Muaythai mission

The International Federation of Muaythai Associations used the International Day of Education to restate the place of structured learning in its youth programmes. The agenda extends beyond technique to health and safety, safeguarding, anti-doping and mental wellbeing.

For athletes, coaches and families, that wider frame is important because youth development cannot be measured only in competition results. Federation education establishes the behaviours and support systems that should travel with a participant from local gym to international event.
