The Asian Kickboxing Confederation announces the formal procedures for the organization of its next General Assembly, scheduled to take place on 16 February 2026 by means of written resolutions made by circulation, in accordance with the Statutes of the Confederation as amended on 12 December 2022.
On 31 January 2026, the independent law firm AARPI MBAA, duly mandated by Asian Confederation the to oversee the organizational process, released to all voting members the complete set of documents relating to the items proposed for written resolution. These materials were prepared by the Board of Directors, together with any documents submitted by Members pursuant to Article 27.5(b) of the Statutes. The process was carried out in collaboration with the Commission of the General Assembly and the Confederation’s administration.
Acting on behalf of the Asian Confederation, Law Firm AARPI MBAA notified all voting national federations of the official notice, the list of nominees with their biographies, the proxy voting card, and all related documentation.
In addition, Law Firm AARPI MBAA circulated the proxy statement, which detailed essential voting information including the record date, quorum requirements, voting rights, required majorities for each proposal, and the tabulation process. Voting members were encouraged to review the proxy statement in conjunction with the documentation for the General Assembly of 16 February 2026.
The Asian Kickboxing Confederation intends to announce the preliminary voting results during the General Assembly, in line with good governance practices and applicable regulations.
Mr. Sina Zahedi, Secretary General of the Asian Kickboxing Confederation, stated:
“Beyond the rules governing the duration of mandates and the timing of elections, the Statutes of the Asian Kickboxing Confederation, as amended on 12 December 2022, expressly provide a mechanism allowing the General Assembly to be convened and conducted by means of written resolutions made by circulation. These Statutes explicitly authorize the General Assembly, including an electoral General Assembly, to be conducted in this manner, provided that the Board of Directors reasonably justifies the use of this procedure and complies with the procedural guarantees established in Article 27.5.”
Mr. Zahedi continued:
“Several objective and documented circumstances justify this approach: regional instability affecting the free circulation of National Members; financial constraints limiting Members’ ability to travel; the need to ensure timely renewal of governing bodies at the end of the four‑year mandate; the obligation to avoid governance paralysis or institutional vacuum; and the statutory requirement under Articles 12.2 and 13.6 to hold elections ‘at the next electoral General Assembly’ once conditions allow. Taken together, these circumstances constitute a reasonable justification within the meaning of Article 17.1, paragraph R(2).”
He added:
“The administration consulted the accredited law firm and obtained a legal opinion regarding the possibility of convening the General Assembly by written resolution made by circulation. The legal opinion confirms that the Board’s decision satisfies the principles of necessity and proportionality, as (i) a physical General Assembly is impracticable due to travel restrictions, instability, and financial burdens on Members, and (ii) the written‑resolution method ensures full participation, transparency, and procedural safeguards without imposing undue burdens on Members.”
The Asian Kickboxing Confederation expresses its sincere appreciation to Law Firm AARPI MBAA, the Commission, consultants, and all individuals involved for their outstanding work in preparing the notice, proxy statement, and related documents, which are comprehensive and self‑explanatory.
