An Event for Peace and Paradigm Shift
Since 2015, with the technical support of the Ministry of Youth and Civic Education (MINJEC), and currently within the framework of the National Civic Education Program for Moral, Civic, and Entrepreneurial Re-Armament (PRONEC-REAMORCE), the Training Fight Corporation, in partnership with the National Volunteering Program, organizes monthly artistic galas under the high patronage of the Minister of Arts and Culture.
This year, following diplomatic efforts led globally since 2014, Cameroon, through the Training Fight Corporation, has secured the approval of the World Kickboxing Federation to organize in New Delhi, India, the very first World Championship of Cinematic Boxing.
This innovative event aims to promote a culture of peace and transform the mindset of populations, while establishing a true paradigm shift, particularly in the following areas:
WKF VERSION KICKBOXING :
Kickboxing, under the WKF (World Kickboxing Federation) version, is a federation of sporting, artistic, and cultural disciplines, which share the use of kicks and punches, especially Full-Contact.
TRAINING FIGHT CORPORATION :
Accredited by the Ministry of Sports (MINSEP), the Training Fight Corporation is a body for education and training programs in WKF-style kickboxing.
Its objectives are clear and align with a process of social transformation and paradigm change (a set of beliefs shaping mindsets and collective thinking patterns, as well as dominant ideas that guide behavior and determine norms within populations):
1. Civic Education and Culture of Peace :
Promoting the themes of the National Council for Popular Education, especially the culture of peace through the practice of Physical and Sports Activities, codified in artistic, cultural, and cinematic forms, in partnership with the National Volunteering Program and under the high patronage of the Minister of Arts and Culture.
2. Improving Fitness for Athlete Admission :
Promoting citizens’ health in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Health through practices that ensure mental balance, health preservation, physical, intellectual, and socio-economic well-being, aimed at improving fitness for athlete status.
3. Training in Collective and Socio-Economic Entrepreneurship :
Encouraging both youth and adults to develop skills in collective and socio-economic entrepreneurship, through monthly artistic galas organized with support from operational units established by the social economy law, contributing to entrepreneurship training.
A SHIFT IN VISION FOR PHYSICAL AND SPORTS ACTIVITIES CODIFIED IN ARTISTIC, CULTURAL AND CINEMATIC FORM
Unlike sporting boxing, which is overseen by the Ministry of Sports, cinematic boxing worldwide falls under the authority of the Ministry of Cinema.
This fundamental distinction allows cinematic boxing to incorporate artistic, creative, and cultural elements.
A groundbreaking feature of cinematic boxing lies in its ability to make artistic and cultural competition accessible to a wide range of people, regardless of physical condition.
Individuals declared unfit by a doctor can participate in the artistic and cultural championship of cinematic boxing, with the goal of improving their physical and mental condition and working toward qualifying for athlete status. This justifies the need for a collaboration agreement with the Minister of Public Health.
This inclusive approach allows for matches between super-lightweights and super-heavyweights, disabled and non-disabled persons, youth and seniors, men and women, and a wide range of disciplines such as karate, judo, boxing, wrestling, taekwondo, MMA, Full Contact, kung fu, and other martial arts, in a staged and creative setting, fostering a respectful and non-discriminatory atmosphere, and promoting solidarity and sharing.
THE WORLD CINEMATIC BOXING CHAMPIONSHIP
A Model of Peace and Social Transformation
Under the aegis of the World Kickboxing Federation, Cameroon, through the Training Fight Corporation, will organize the very first World Cinematic Boxing Championship on November 22, 2025, in New Delhi, India.
This global event aims to promote the various themes of the National Council for Popular Education and is part of a global process of mindset transformation, highlighting values of respect, inclusion, solidarity, and social cohesion.
It serves as a catalyst for education on peace culture and human rights, while encouraging the practice of Physical and Sports Activities from an artistic, cultural, and cinematic perspective—thanks to the sponsorship of the Minister of Arts and Culture, the support of the Minister of Youth and Civic Education, the collaboration of the Minister of Public Health, and the accreditation of the Minister of Sports and Physical Education.
Conclusion :
This first World Cinematic Boxing Championship in New Delhi aims to be a model of convergence between all themes of the National Council for Popular Education.
It is more than a simple artistic, cultural, and cinematic competition—it’s a true platform for:
- Education in citizenship and culture of peace;
- Improvement of physical aptitude toward athlete status;
- Training in collective and socio-economic entrepreneurship.
