2010 Combat Games

In March 2009, SportAccord signed an agreement with the city of Beijing, P. R. China, to organise the first SportAccord Combat Games. Scheduled from 28 August to 4 September 2010, the competition will showcase 13 Martial Arts and Combat sports, both Olympic and non-Olympic. The event will also include a Cultural Program that will reflect the social and cultural values of these sports and Combat Games as a whole.

Each sport will have 80 top athletes competing in the 2010 SportAccord Combat Games. These athletes will go through the qualification system set up by their respective International Federation. It is expected that the world best martial arts and combat sports athletes will qualify for the Combat Games. Both male and female athletes will take part. For those sports requiring weigh-in, different weight categories will be included.

During the eight days of competition, the 2010 SportAccord Combat Games will also include a cultural programme. Indeed, martial arts and combat sports have rich cultural heritages and convey social and educational values. The Combat Games will then serve as a great opportunity to enable deeper understanding of the sports by the public.

@gespilk the martial art i practice is called dragon skin, it takes seconds to become master in the way of the dragon skin, I immediately become immune to strikes from arts such as AK-47, or even .338 lapua kicks. Although I do have weak points, I guess i could train holes into my dragon skin techniques so that I could cover my face while still being able to see.

[gespilk]

The most popular martial art is called AK-47. I practice that. It takes very short time to become master in the AK-47 style. And you are so powerful that your opponents could be defeated from a distance of 300 metres.

@luklum : i wonder how come they organize the competition for Aikido :)... but its great idea... relly looking for the first time Aikido kendo and Sumo appear in a world-wide competition base on Olympic spirit - agree with luklum, it may be amateur division especially kendo...but i still love it :)
