About World Martial Sports
Independent news for the whole martial arts and combat sports family.
Who we are
World Martial Sports is an independent news site for people who train, coach, compete or simply follow martial arts and combat sports.
We cover the international scene in English, from Olympic judo, taekwondo and karate to MMA, boxing, kickboxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and the traditional arts of Japan, China and Korea.
German and Italian editions are in preparation, with national and regional news written for those readers.
What we cover
Results and events
Championships, fight cards and rankings, reported quickly and checked against official sources.
Technique and training
Coaching, conditioning and the methods behind the medals, for practitioners at every level.
People and stories
Athletes, coaches, referees and clubs - the people who keep the arts alive, in their own words.
How we work
Every article is written or edited by a named person, sources are named wherever possible and mistakes are corrected openly. The rules we follow are in our editorial policy.
World Martial Sports is funded by advertising. Ads appear only in marked spaces and never decide what we write; sponsored articles carry a visible label. Details for partners are on the advertising page.
