National Martial Arts Games & Championship Pathways
Whether you are an athlete aiming for international glory or a club seeking official recognition, we provide the verified framework to take your sport to the national stage.
Your journey to international acclaim starts here. This is the official announcement for the World Martial Arts Games 2025 in Oslo, Norway. We facilitate the selection and participation of the Indian team for this globally recognized event, covering disciplines like Forms, Point Sparring, and Continuous Sparring.
This is the moment of victory at the National Martial Arts Games (NMAG) 2024, held at the prestigious Talkatora Stadium. Our national games are the primary selection trials for athletes aiming to represent India on the world stage and a key event under our "Sport for All" initiative.
The "Sport for All" Games & Festival is our flagship multi-sport event, bringing together athletes from diverse disciplines like wrestling and karate. Held at major venues like the Talkatora Indoor Stadium, this festival embodies our commitment to making sports accessible and competitive for everyone.
We are dedicated to reviving India's intangible cultural heritage through sports. This poster represents our mission with the Indian Gilli Danda Federation to promote and organize tournaments for traditional games, ensuring they receive national and global recognition.
For clubs, academies, and federations, we provide the essential service of official recognition and membership. By joining the Association for National Sports Federations (ANSF), your organization gains access to a network of resources, accredited events, and a legitimate pathway for your athletes.
We provide a direct and verified pathway to global competition. The IKU National Karate Championship serves as the official selection event for the IKU World Championship in Argentina, offering our athletes a clear route to compete against the world's best.
We celebrate and promote the rich diversity of combat sports, including ancient Indian martial arts. This is an invitation to the International Combat Games, featuring Mallyuddha, a traditional form of wrestling, alongside modern disciplines in Dehradun.
About Featured
Our selection trials, including the National Martial Arts Games held at Talkatora Indoor Stadium, are the formal entry points for international competitions like the World Martial Arts Games. We manage the full process, from accreditation and medical safety to technical scouting, ensuring your performance is officially recorded and recognized for international eligibility.
Your Pathway to International Sport
We bridge the gap between local training and global competition. By participating in our sanctioned championships, you enter an official scouting pipeline. Athletes who excel in our national trials are prepared for and facilitated into international rosters, providing a direct route to compete on the world stage, whether in Karate, Kickboxing, or Grappling.
Official Recognition for Clubs and Academies
For gym owners and academy coaches, affiliation is about legitimacy. When you join our network, your academy receives official registration, and your instructors gain the authority to conduct recognized Kyu-grade belt examinations. This provides your students with certificates that are valid for school activity records and national sports databases, helping you grow your footprint through a verified, nationally recognized system.
Preserving Traditional Heritage
We go beyond modern combat sports by actively reviving India's intangible cultural heritage. Our federation organizes dedicated national tournaments for traditional disciplines like Gilli Danda and Mallyuddha. By providing a competitive platform for these ancient games, we ensure they are treated with the same scientific rigour and professional standards as contemporary martial arts.
Institutional Backing
Our credibility stems from our affiliations with global bodies. As an organization with consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council, we ensure that every certificate issued, whether for a national championship win or a coach's accreditation, meets high standards of governance. We take the administrative burden off your shoulders so you can focus on the sport.
