| From the President's Desk; I want to personally welcome you to the Official WOMAA Int'l Website. WOMAA was formed in 1998 to host, The World Martial Games, a World Championship Martial Arts Competition held every year in a different country. All competitors who travel to the Games each year from around the world are Ambassadors of Good Sportsmanship, and as such, represent their country with pride as they strive to bring back the Gold and the title of World Champion. To be a TRUE World Champion, you must compete against competitors from many nations, not just a few. WOMAA has been striving to achieve this goal in the past 5 years by adding more and more countries to our list of participants, and we are growing every year. Competitors, instructors and organizations from around the world are realizing that the W.O.M.A.A. World Martial Games offers Fair and Great World Class Competition, Camaraderie and much more. Whereas, other organizations offer competition for only Black Belts, WOMAA offers all nations competitors from All Styles, All Systems, All Ages (5 yrs & up) and All Belt Ranks (from beginners to the higher ranking black belts) the opportunity to compete against the World. WOMAA is non-political and offers everyone the chance to experience the cultures, the laws, the foods, the languages and the diversity of other nations and understand that the only true enemy we have in life is "IGNORANCE". We welcome you to the W.O.M.A.A. website and encourage you to browse around and check out what we have to offer. WOMAA is building a strong network of Directors and representatives in many countries around the world, and constantly seeking qualified individuals who would like to become part of the WOMAA family and represent their country at the World Martial Games. I wish to express a sincere Thank You to all participating countries and their competitors, coaches and guests, for making the WOMAA World Martial Games an incredible experience for everyone. See you at the next World Martial Games ........ Bruce Smith Pres/WOMAA 443-366-6277 T. Rondo Van Clief V. Pres/WOMAA |

| W.O.M.A.A. World Martial Games X, smaller than expected, but quality of competition, was excellent. The recession has hit everyone very hard, and this included the WOMAA World Martial Games X. Many countries could not attend due to loss of jobs, finances, recession, etc. Not to mention that the U.S. State Dept, did not allow Visas to many countries at the last moment (within 1 week of the games). All these aspects are beyond the control of the promoters of the event. and has not only affected the WOMAA games, but other martial arts tournaments all over. But the countries that did attend, Canada, Wales, Lichtenstein, Italy, U.S., China, etc. had a wonderful time and represented their country's with pride and good sportsmanship. With a little less than 300 total competitors, the games ran smoothy over the 3 days and brought forth many new WOMAA World Champions. The night time finals on Sunday night were something to see, everyone who attended the finals had a great time and witnessed some great competition from some world class competitors. Some of the highlites of the evening's events, were the King of the Ring Final Cometition, won by Gunther (FELS) from Lichtenstein, The WOMAA Continuous Fighting World Title Belt Competition, (Women's 18 - 34 yrs), won by Canada, , the 18 - 34 yrs Men's Title was won by Elvis from Canada earlier that day. The last event of the night was the World Team fighting, U.S.A. vs Italy. 3 Men, 1 Woman teams. the fights were fierce and hard, the U.S.A. Team, made up by Waymon Beavers (from Maryland), Tony Luke (from Georgia), Kurt Purnell (from Delaware) and Nelanie Hamilton (from Germany - U.S. Military). More info coming soon. (Countries, please send me a list of your winners and what medals they won, so I can include them in this website.) |
