The inaugural 2010 Beijing SportAccord Combat Games, attracting more than 1000 top athletes from over 60 countries and regions, kicked off on August 28, 2010. The opening ceremony of the SportAccord Combat Games took place on the same day, attracting more than ten thousand spectators.

Over 1,000 actors participated in the opening ceremony, including international kungfu movie stars Jackie Chan, renowned Italian soprano Giorgia Fumanti and Japanese singer Atari Kosuke ect.

Such kungfu stars and sports legends as Jet Li, Fedor Emelyanenko, Robert Van de Walle, Don Wilson and other big names who represent the Combat Games’ 13 martial arts disciplines also showed up at the ceremony, a spectacular show that recounts the tradition of Chinese martial arts and the evolution of world combat sports.

The aim of the Combat Games is to promote cultural communication and friendship rather than fight for medals.





China dominates in wushu competition

Chinese athletes won 10 of the 13 possible gold medals for wushu in the first two days of the inaugural SportAccord Combat Games at the National Indoor Stadium, reviving discussions of whether wushu should be an Olympic sport.

The SportAccord Combat Games 2010 Beijing opened on Saturday, with 22,059 athletes from 105 countries and regions gathering to participate in 13 martial arts and combat events, including wushu.

The Combat Games were sponsored by the General Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF) and will be held every four years. This year’s games run until September 4 in Beijing.

Kung fu movie stars Jackie Chan and Jet Li both attended the opening ceremony, with Chan crooning the Combat Games’ theme song, accompanied by foreign wushu perfomers hailing from the US, UK, Canada and elsewhere, according to the Beijing News.

However, the two movie stars held differing opinions on whether wushu should be included in the Olympic Games.

Wushu was exhibited during the 2008 Olympics, raising hopes for its eventual inclusion, as happened for judo.

Chan told the Beijing News that wushu brought him global popularity, and that people of all nationalities and races come to China to learn wushu. “I’m proud of Chinese wushu and often feels regret that wushu isn’t included in the Olympics,” Chan said, further guessing that Chinese wushu perhaps has too many styles and schools to be recognized as one sport. He hoped to combine the different styles into a united image that would enable wushu to be considered for inclusion.

Li held the opposite opinion. Now 40, he’s practiced wushu since the age of 8. He suggested taiji as a better fit for the Olympics. “I don’t think wushu will be accepted by the Olympics, but I will make every effort for the rest of my life to promote taiji to the Olympics, as there are 130 million taiji fans in the world,” he told the Liaoning-based Huashang Morning Post Saturday. Li said he hoped taiji will be recognized by the Olympics in the next 15 to 20 years.

The Secretary-General of the International Wushu Federation Wang Youlin told the Beijing Times that Li’s suggestion should be an option, but “Chinese wushu is too profound. Its promotion should be simplified to meet the global circumstances. Then people can love it easily.”

But he also pointed out that the Olympics are trying to reduce the number of involved sports. “If wushu can be listed as an Olympic sport, then one of the other 28 sports would have to quit,” he said.

Europe in favor of Japanese traditional sport sumo
English.news.cn 2010-08-29 16:25:15
By sportswriter Lin Deren

BEIJING, Aug. 29 (Xinhua) – “At the sumo world championships, eighty percent of the gold medals go to Europe,” said Stephen Gadd, the General Secretary of European sumo union, at the first SportAccord Combat Games here on Sunday.

At the SportAccord Games European players excelled their Asian opponents to collect seven of all the eight gold medals. Sumo, which is traditionally a Japanese-only sport, has found its root in Europe.

There are currently 27 members in the European Sumo Union, more than any other continental sumo union on the world. “We are the most active union, holding 20-25 international tournaments every year,” said Gadd.

Russian sumo head coach Gennady Kaletkin introduced that about 2000 Russians are doing sumo at the moment. In Bulgaria, the number goes to as many as 500-600.

In 1992, Japan organized an international sumo competition in 1992, inviting athletes from all over the world to try the mysterious sport. It is at that time that the Europeans began to know about sumo. In 1995, a couple of Japanese sponsors designed a series of tournaments in Europe, revealing the Japan-based event to the continent.

Boele Venhvizen, director of the referee committee on the sumo event at the SportAccord Combat Game, released the reason for the speedy popularization of sumo in Europe.

“Many of the European players used to be wrestlers, Judo players or boxers. They are traditionally quick and strong, so there is no difficulty for them to turn to sumo,” said Venhvizen.

Kaletkin also admitted that Russia’s domination of sumo is due to the strong combating tradition and enthusiasm in wrestling.

Most European sumo athletes also participate in judo, boxing or wrestling competitions. The multi-cultural environment enables them to learn a new sport faster and better.

At the moment, Bulgaria, Russia, Netherland and other European countries are busy developing sumo in all ages.

“Every sumo competition will attract lots of spectators in Ukraine, and they are interested in the sport,” said Maryna Pryshchepa from Ukraine, the champion from women’s middle-weight at the SportAccord Games.

Wrestler R.Gantogs Settles for Silver in Combat Games
Written by Kh.Ganchimeg
Tuesday, August 31, 2010.

Mongolian sumo wrestler R.Gantogs grabbed a silver medal in Sportaccord Combat Games Beijing 2010, which kicked off on August 28, 2010.

I didn’t see this as fallout

Kung fu clothes take a beating
* Source: Global Times
* [12:14 September 27 2010]
By Wei Na

At the Sportaccord Combat Games held last month in Beijing, combatants dominated the field with martial arts battles like those described in wuxia novels, but at the end of the day many spectators were asking, “Who are they wearing?”

The event’s official clothing sponsor was Wesing Sports Goods Co. The Fujian-based company is not a particularly well-known purveyor of activewear, but it’s one of the few Chinese manufacturers for specialized athletic gear. “It’s not like we’re a casual sports brand everyone would at least have heard of,” said Hong Fengbo, vice director of marketing at Wesing. “For years we have been exploring and facing the specialized sports market, which is not familiar to most mass-market consumers.”

That tide may be changing, however, as Hong said that the eight-day combat sports event was a pretty successful promotion on “a big platform.”

“The leader of the Japanese team thinks very highly of our products for combat clothing, which are specially embroidered with dragons and Chinese phoenixes for men and women. And athletes from Thailand asked about our white wushu clothing with the plum blossom pattern,” Hong said. “And above all there’s been more appreciation and attention from the home market.”

The Sportaccord Combat Games demonstrated 13 different types of martial arts and combat sports like Chinese wushu, aikido, judo, kendo and more. And because different styles each have their own ways of dressing, the event was practically a martial arts fashion show.

Lu Yan, who works for the only Wesing store located near Beijing Sports University said, “there have been more inquiries during the past month. They used to all be purchases from government departments, but now there are calls from private martial arts clubs.”

Hong said he was glad for the opportunity to advertise Wesing to the Chinese market. “Although we have expanded our business to be more internationally oriented over the past ten years, and we’ve gradually gained more fame through worldwide competition events, but for the [Sportaccord] games, we were really focusing on the home market consumers, because they have been more aware that martial arts exercises could have physical and mental benefits,” Hong said. According to him, Wesing plans to open stores in every province of China over the next three years.

Wesing has successfully been selling martial arts and judo clothes in countries including Spain, Turkey and France. Hong maintains that while it is important to adhere to tradition when it comes to martial arts clothes, that doesn’t mean they can’t have a little fun.

“Clothing for martial arts has long histories and certain meanings to represent, but that doesn’t mean there’re no changes,” he said. “We have made improvements to keep the style fresh, but we think Chinese cultural elements are key to attracting foreign customers’ eyes.” Other than that, there have been functional improvements concerning the material, comfort and durability. Now on the market, a man’s free-combat costume is priced at around 90 yuan. Kickboxing competition clothing runs about 210 yuan, and outfits for Chinese wushu are 220 yuan for one set. A padded judo uniform could be priced as high as 1,050 yuan. When asked why the combat clothing all tends to be expensive, Hong explained that the clothes are meant to take a beating, so there are certain standards that must be maintained, like durability and washability, which lead to a higher cost.

Putin lauds martial arts at international competition
Oct. 19, 2013 | 3:59 PM

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, Oct. 19 (UPI) – Russian President Vladimir Putin, himself a black belt in judo, lauded the martial arts during opening ceremonies for the World Combat Games.

The international event is being hosted in St. Petersburg through Oct. 26. Putin noted the individual focus and strength needed to succeed in martial arts, RIA Novosti said.

“Various martial arts differ in technique and rules, but they all share the same common principle that fair victory always goes to the genuinely strongest,” the Kremlin website quoted Putin as saying. “Not chance but the athlete’s own will, and not the team’s strength but personal skill and courage decide each combat’s outcome. There is no hiding behind your teammates in martial arts.”

Putin said 4.5 million Russians practice some form of martial arts, making it one of the country’s most popular sports.

Competition includes: Aikido, Boxing, Fencing, Judo, Jiu-Jitsu, Karate, Kendo, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Sambo, Savate, Sumo, Taekwondo, Wrestling, & Wushu

Gene, not sure if you are aware of the faction of academics who see Russia as an Asian society rather than a part of Europe, citing for example the influence of the Mongol occupation… the culture’s affinity for martial arts certainly is part of that world vision don’t you think

30

Sure, sure…

I’ve always felt that Russia was its own entity, outside the Europe vs. Asia division. The relationship between Russia and China, especially Mongolia, is fascinating history not taught so much in American schools. But in terms of Asia cultures having more affinity for martial arts, that’s a bit of a stretch for me, especially as I come from a tradition of Western fencing, which retains a lot of martial elements and is a martial study of its own. Of course, that makes me biased here, but I’m biased everywhere else, so why not here? Hollywood has romanticized martial arts - orientalized them, if you will, but I’d argue every culture has a martial art tradition. It’s just a matter of how that is framed and defined. America has the weakest and yet the most diverse take on the martial arts. We are a young nation, born in the age of firearms. And yet, we’re a nation of immigrants, bringing so many cultures into our martial melting pot.

But as for the World Combat Games being hosted in Russia, I think it’s all about Putin. He’s a ballsy politician. :wink:

of course the west has martial arts, I am a big fan of western martial arts, boxing, wresstling, savate, can fighting, fencing, etc

I might have mis-spoke or not elaborated

Western martial arts never took on religious, spiritual or mystical qualifites like the fusions that happened in Asia… and in Russian culture they seem to have an affinity to these sorts of traditions

Sambo was pure military martial arts, guts and blood and balls, yet things like “systema” tried to fuse them with mythical mumbo jumbo

Russia sure is unique, but I have seen a lot of asian influence

Egypt kung fu ace ‘loses medal over Morsi’
Officials deny turning against kung fu champion Mohamed Youssef for showing support for deposed President Morsi.
Last Modified: 29 Oct 2013 12:33

The family of an Egyptian kung fu champion says he has been banned from representing the country and stripped of his medal after he showed support for deposed President Mohamed Morsi during a tournament in Russia.

The government, however, has denied taking retaliatory action against Mohamed Youssef.

In a photo on the state-run Al-Ahram website, Youssef was shown on stage in St Petersburg, Russia, holding his medal and wearing a T-shirt with a symbol commemorating the pro-Morsi protest camp that was crushed by security forces on August 14, leaving hundreds dead.

The army overthrew Morsi on July 3 and installed an interim government.

It has since launched a security crackdown on Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood, arresting more than 2,000 members, including Morsi and other senior leaders.

Security forces have killed hundreds of Morsi supporters.

Youssef’s brother Hamem told Reuters news agency that he had been removed from a list of eligible kung-fu players in the sport’s national federation, and told he could not represent Egypt in future tournaments.

Mohamed Youssef himself was not immediately available for comment.

When asked about the case, Taher Abu Zeid, the sports minister, said Youssef had not been barred from representing Egypt, although he did not mention the medal or the federation.

Zeid told Reuters that he had asked the ministry to conduct an investigation into the incident, but added that if the sportsman had displayed the yellow four-fingered “Rabaa” hand symbol “it was a wrong way to conduct himself”.

Egyptian kung fu gold medalist suspended for Islamist sign
Mohammed Youssef wore a T-shirt depicting an open palm with four yellow fingers, a symbol in support of ousted President Mohammed Morsi.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Monday, October 28, 2013, 1:31 PM


Newspaper Al-Ahram posted a photo of Mohammed Youssef online. It showed the kung fu fighter in a T-shirt with a picture of an open palm with four yellow fingers.

CAIRO An Egyptian kung fu gold medalist has been suspended by the sport’s national federation because he displayed an Islamist symbol showing support for ousted President Mohammed Morsi during a tournament in Russia, officials said Monday.

The online service of the state newspaper Al-Ahram posted a photo of Mohammed Youssef wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with a picture of an open palm with four yellow fingers - the symbol representing a pro-Morsi protest camp violently cleared by security forces in August. In the photo, Youssef held his gold medal with his right hand while punching the air with a clenched left fist during the medal ceremony.

It quoted the federation president as saying Youssef also would be banned from a tournament next month in Malaysia.

Youssef flew to Cairo early on Monday from Moscow after being sent home early by the federation, security officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information. The player’s brother Hamam confirmed in a telephone interview with Al-Jazeera Mubasher Misr that his brother was sent home early from the tournament because he displayed the symbol.

The suspension underlines the deepening divisions in Egypt, nearly four months after Morsi - the country’s first freely elected president - was ousted in a popularly backed military coup. His ouster followed protests by millions of Egyptians calling on him to step down and accusing him and his Muslim Brotherhood of acting undemocratically and trying to monopolize power in the latest crisis to roil the Arab world’s most populous nation since the 2011 ouster of autocratic ruler Hosni Mubarak.

More than 600 protesters were killed when Egyptian police moved in with armored bulldozers to clear the massive sit-in demanding the reinstatement of the Islamist leader near Cairo’s Rabaah el-Adawiya mosque. Tensions have spiked as the military-backed interim administration continued to crack down on the Brotherhood, arresting more than 2,000 senior and mid-level officials.

Islamic militants also have stepped up their campaign of violence, mainly targeting Egyptian police and soldiers since the coup, especially in the volatile northern part of the Sinai Peninsula, which borders Israel and the Gaza Strip.

The militants’ campaign mostly has been confined to the troubled peninsula that is separated from the mainland by the Suez Canal, but attacks outside Sinai have grown more frequent in recent weeks.

On Monday, gunmen killed three policemen at a security checkpoint in Mansoura, a city north of Cairo, according to the Interior Ministry. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the shootings, but such attacks are typical for militants opposed to Egypt’s military-backed government.

Despite the arrests of much of the Brotherhood’s leadership, Morsi supporters have pressed forward with protests to try to maintain pressure on authorities to release the toppled leader, who has been held largely incommunicado since his detention on July 3. He is due to go on trial on Nov. 4 for allegedly inciting supporters to kill protesters outside his presidential palace in Cairo last December.

Police used tear gas Monday to disperse several hundred pro-Morsi university students who were rallying near Rabaah el-Adawiya, in eastern Cairo. As the protest got underway, army troops and police backed by armored vehicles blocked off the road leading to the site, creating a tense standoff that lasted hours. By late afternoon, the students retreated to their campus, while pelting security forces with rocks.
