Welcome to Martial Arts Football

Josh Stetechenfinger of the Ninja scores 3 points at the Disney Martial Arts Festival playing comBATON aka Martial Arts Football. On October 16, 2009 the comBATON games were held on the 2nd level of the Milkhouse at Disneys Wide World of Sports. We had the whole area to ourselves and had use of the dual scoreboards and P.A. system. The music was pumping and there was good action on the field.

The first game was Division 1A, adult men, with the Samurai vs. the Ninja. Coach/Player David Turnbull of the Samurai with CJ Vickers, Tyler Townsend, Gabe Allen, Tom Robertson, Elvin Lopez and Morris Johnson, against Coach/Player Brian Schneider of the Ninja with Seth McKinley, Joe Schneider, Josh Stechenfinger and Nick Richartz, the first two teams in comBATON history. The game consisted of two 10minutes halves. The time ran fast, so next year we will have two 15 minute halves. The game was originally intended to be made up of six 10 minute periods, but was shortened in order to accommodate more games from different divisions. The game ended with the Samurai on top with 6 points and the Ninja 0 points. CJ Vickers scored all 6 points for the Samurai. It was a low scoring game for comBATON, but that attests to the defensive battle that was going on between the teams. Both teams always put on a smorgasbord of action.
