Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a kickboxer, failed to meet the plain language requirements of at least three evidentiary criteria. For the awards criterion, the petitioner did not demonstrate that his awards were nationally or internationally recognized for excellence. For the membership criterion, he failed to prove that the associations required outstanding achievements for membership, with evidence suggesting one was open to everyone.
