مونت کارلو, اهل موناکو (
فوریه 25, 2016)- انجمن جهانی MMA (WMMAA) معاون رئيس جمهور
توماس یو, از آلبوکرک (NM),
who is also president of the WMMAA Pan-American division,
took time from his busy schedule to address questions about his MMA background and experience,
the sport of MMA and WWMMA in particular.
می توانید در مورد خود و تجربه خود در ورزش های رزمی برای ما بگویید?
TY: “I’m from the generation that grew up watching 3 Ninjas,Ninja Turtles… I wanted to be a Ninja! I grew up practicing Tae Kwon Do in Mexico, all the way to my black belt. در سن 18, I ventured to practice Aikido and Judo in El Paso, وابسته به تکزاس. I loved learning and I always wanted to be a rounded student, which is why I always looked for different arts to offset the weaknesses of the other.”
چگونه اولین بار وارد دنیای MMA شدید?
TY: “I was really looking for a place I could introduce my daughter to Martial Arts. I was looking for a more rounded self-defense Martial Art but not a fight club. I was introduced to the sport of MMA by a good friend and pioneer of the sport, Chris Luttrell. I was immediately bonded to the sport, since that is what at one point all Martial Artists are looking for.”
اولین بار چه زمانی از MMA شنیدید و اولین برداشت شما چیست؟? انجام داد
you expect this sport to grow as much as it is now?
TY: “I have been privileged to see the evolution of MMA since 1993 as a teenager, all the way to now, becoming the first Pan-American Division President in the most important Regulation Organization for MMA in the world.”
عملکرد و فعالیتهای اصلی شما در WMMAA چیست؟?
TY “My biggest function is to introduce simple business principles to the sport of MMA and keeping Martial Art in MMA. What I mean by that is, the common denominator for every individual Marital Art are (Respect, Loyalty, Honor) and the mixture of martial arts should not represent what people perceive MMA is today. It should be a mixture of Respect, Loyalty and Honor. It should be a much more admired sport.”
پیشرفت WMMAA را در طول سه سال وجود خود چگونه ارزیابی می کنید?
TY: “خوب, as an entrepreneur, I’m never satisfied, I always see ways to do things better but the reality is that, در 25+ years MMA has been evolving and becoming not just a mixture of Martial Arts but also a true blue sport. Many people have tried to add value to the sport with no real success until this past two years with the WMMAA.”
What are the main goals of WMMAA and what are the main obstacles for the association?
TY: “This question has a long and complicated answer! The number one obstacle is pride, pride to admit that past performance or formulas to add value didn’t and won’t work. Pride to admit that working together will pave a new path. The number two obstacle, is UNDERSTANDING, understanding the big picture, like Micro and Macro economics really being two different worlds.
“The sport or art of MMA is much more than what we see on television. There is a much deeper impact to society than pay per view.”
How do you assess the third World Championship that took place in
پراگ?
TY: “Moments like these are the ones that 3 years ago we would dream about. خوب, last year that dream came true… روی 40 countries participated in the beautiful city of Prague. I can’t explain the clash of emotions when you see and hear country after country being announced as they walk into the arena with their head held high as they carry their national flag.
We as an organization created Continental Presidents to be able to perform better follow through and also be more sensitive negotiating in different cultural environments. Our Europe and Czech Organizing Committee did a wonderful job.
آیا کشورهایی وجود داشته اند که شما را برجسته یا غافلگیر کنند?
TY: “The fact they were there, that’s what really stands out! Some countries were participating for the first time. The level of mental competition for some countries was amazing. I can’t wait for the 2016 World Championships.”
What are the2016 mid-term goals for WMMAA PanAm?
TY: “The number one focus for PANAM is the roll-out of our new initiative on ‘Global MMA Officials and Licensing’ to standardize the sport worldwide, but also standardize the officials looking out for the sport.”
میشه توضیح بدید 2015 مثل WMMAA بود?
TY: “2015 was a year of foundations, recruiting, and preparing for the volumes of growth coming our way this year.”
دوست دارید کدام کلمات خردمندانه را با اعضای خانواده WMMAA به اشتراک بگذارید?
TY: “I have always said that in every sport there is a business behind it, با ایمان: ‘Till this far, MMA is like Capital… it goes where it is welcomed and it stays where it’s treated well'”
WMMAA در حال گسترش است. However there are still multiple countries that
are not yet WMMAA members. Why should any local Federation apply
for WMMAA membership?
TY: “We are the only organization of its kind. They would be able to get courses, national and international licenses but, مهمتر از, they can be part of history by allowing athletes in their respective countries to participate in our version of the Olympics of MMA.”
What would you tell them?
TY: “
You are not alone.
Here is where being part of a team with qualified individuals opening door.
Power really does come in numbers.”
مردم مدام می پرسند: چرا باید از SportID و SportData استفاده کنیم. میتوانی
repeat why it is so essential?
TY: “I’ll keep it short. The number one reason – reason enough – is to avoid private owned companies from having biased control on who and how they upload information.”
