At the July 2009 ABC Convention in New Orleans, I submitted a rough draft of unified rules and suggested the formation of a Committee to later present unified rules for the sport in the United States and Canada and sovereign indian nations.

It is my goal to educate Commissions who are not familiar with muay thai while, at the same time, providing unified rules to foster the growth of the sport.

At the July 2009 convention, such a Committee was formed. Chad Kurle of North Dakota later resigned from the Committee and was replaced by Dr. Schoenewe of Oklahoma.

The Committee now consists of:

Chairman Nick Lembo, New Jersey
Joe Miller, Oklahoma
Bernie Profato, Ohio
Dr. Corey Schoenewe, Oklahoma
Dr. Sherry Wulkan, New York

On July 21, 2010 at the 2010 ABC Convention in New Orleans, I made a brief presentation summarizing our discussions for the past year about rules, fouls, scoring and amateurs etc. I asked for the Committee to continue for one more year with the goal of a final presentation of unified rules to be voted on at the 2011 ABC Convention.

The goal is to present the ABC, at its July 2011 convention, to be held in Washington D.C., with a standardized rule set to be used in North America for all professional and amateur muay thai contests.

So far, we have accomplished the task of gathering advisers from around the globe who are unquestioned experts in their beloved sport of muay thai Their contributions have been invaluable. We have had pages and pages of documented discussions.

Our goal is to introduce something that has as lasting and large of an impact as the unified rules have in the sport of mixed martial arts. We are confident that we will have a fine tuned polished product in 2011 as I intend to devote much time and effort to it in the upcoming year.

I am very proud to have the following individuals on this Committee’s Advisory Board.

Mick Doyle, Nebraska
Clint Heyliger, New York
Tony Moore, England
Tony Myers, England
Stephen Strotmeyer, Pennsylvania
Manuel Taningco, Ohio
Kumron Vaityanon, New Jersey
Sakasem Kanthawong, part time New Jersey
Anthony Salcedo, Florida
