Joanna Jędrzejczyk is an athlete that needs no introduction in the world of combat sports and is one of the best female contenders to have ever graced the ring. Representing Poland, Joanna started training muaythai at 16 years old before entering into the IFMA world championships where she experienced great success taking 5 gold medals. Today she has gained huge popularity around the world but never stopped to support the IFMA muaythai family and especially the new muaythai athletes.
Representing the Polish Muaythai Federation, Jonanna competed in muaythai for a period of around 10 years, winning over 60 matches as well as becoming the WMC European champion.
Joanna also took part in the prestigious Muaythai Angels competition in Thailand which was run in cooperation with the Sports Authority of Thailand.
Joanna is now one of the top combat athletes in the world alongside fellow multiple time IFMA and WMC World Champion Valentina Shevchenko from Kygryzstan. Joanna is an outstanding athlete and an inspiration to many up and coming athletes and is testament to the fact that hard work pays off. From all at the WMC and IFMA we salute you!
Make an anonymous disclosure of improper conduct of ethical wrongdoing
Muaythai is built on the 5 important pillars of honour, tradition, respect, excellence and fair play. Every stakeholder, regardless of whether they are a fan, an official administrator, an event promoter, or simply a one-off spectator at an event, has the right to see transparency upheld.
At IFMA we are committed to ensuring our standards meet a high level of ethical accountability, because that is the foundation of our legitimacy as a governing body for the sport. Fair play must be guaranteed.
When unlawful violations of IFMA’s standards occur, individuals may feel that there are barriers to voicing their concerns. Barriers can include, but are not limited to:
However, without the active participation of those who can provide credible information regarding any unlawful violations of IFMA’s ethical standards, IFMA cannot adequately exercise its governing duties. Please help us as we continue to strive to meet the highest ethical standard among the world’s martial arts and combat sports.
Please report, regardless of whether a violation involves those in high positions of leadership, including within IFMA. Please inform yourselves of what IFMA’s ethical standards, codes and commitments are and report any type of violation that you observe, such as improper financial dealings, violations of the code of ethics, and allegations of discrimination, harassment or abuse.
IFMA condemns all forms of discrimination, harassment, abuse and violence, especially against women, young boys and girls. We offer you our guarantee that individuals who report complaints or violations in good faith will not, as a result, be subject to retaliation or harassment from IFMA. Our continuous development as a sport and as a federation includes building a transparent and accountable community.
All allegations will be treated seriously and investigated. If you have evidence of a violation, please let us know about the specifics of the complaint with all relevant details. Our Ethics Committee will conduct a discreet and objective enquiry based on your complaint. The identity of those reporting violations will be kept confidential and treated as anonymous during the course of an investigation. We will contact you discreetly via email to request further information if required.
It is our hope that working together with you will ensure that everyone can enjoy the beauty of sport with fairness and equality.
