The Richmond Olympic Oval will be home to the first TAFISA World Martial Arts Games next September.
In partnership with TAFISA (The Association for International Sport for All), the games will be the first of their kind, encompassing a martial arts festival that combines interactive demonstrations and competitive events.
The event plans to showcase the talents of athletes around the world.
"This is truly a historic beginning to an idea that came to life more than three years ago," said Ken Marchtaler, newly appointed TAFISA martial arts commissioner. "I look forward to being part of the committee that brings the 2014 TAFISA World Martial Arts Games to life."
The full details of the event will be released shortly. For more information about TAFISA, visit www.tafisa. net.
