Official Interview
Baron Marek Attila Janeček, President of the European MuayΤhai Confederation (EMC)
At historic crossroads, actions speak louder than words. The decision of the European Muaythai Confederation (EMC) on January 18, 2026, is not a mere administrative act. It is a declaration of principles, a landmark of honour, and a roadmap for the future of Muaythai culture in Europe.
This interview is the voice of that decision. Here, Baron Marek Attila Janeček, President of the EMC, and Vangelis Xanthakis, its Vice-President and the heart of the Greek endeavour, do not merely discuss a sport.
They engage in a profound dialogue about legacy, authenticity, and the responsibility that comes with safeguarding a living cultural tradition.
Within these pages, you will discover:
The foundations of a historic recognition bridging centuries of traditional knowledge with the present.
The clear lines between cultural stewardship and commercial exploitation.
The unique model of collaboration proposed by the EMC for Europe, with Greece and A.C. Panathinaia at its core.
The unwavering autonomy of a federation that chooses to stand as a pillar of authenticity, grounded in its own historical and ethical foundations.
More than a transcript, this text is a testament.
Proof that when knowledge is deepened with respect, action gains gravitas.
And a promise that the flame of an ancient art can be passed to future generations untarnished, when its guardians remember where it was first lit.
