W.A.K.O. European Championships 1984 were the seventh European kickboxing championships hosted by the W.A.K.O. organization arranged by Peter Land. The championships were open to amateur men based in Europe with each country allowed only one competitor per weight division, with the styles on offer being Full-Contact and Semi-Contact kickboxing. Regular European leaders West Germany were the top nation by the end of the championships, followed by Italy in second and hosts Austria in third. The event was held in Graz, Austria on Saturday, 22 September 1984.[1]
Men's Full-Contact Kickboxing
Full-Contact had been absent at the last European championships, but returned in 1984. There were now ten weight classes ranging from 54 kg/118.8 lbs to over 87 kg/191.4 lbs, with the 54 kg division being newly introduced and the two heaviest divisions being changed slightly from the last world championships. All of the bouts were fought under Full-Contact rules, and more detail can be found on the W.A.K.O. website – although the rules may have changed slightly since 1984.[2] The most notable winner was Ferdinand Mack who won his sixth W.A.K.O. gold medal (Euro and world). By the end of the championships, West Germany once more were the top nation in Europe in Full-Contact winning four gold and two silver medals.[3]
