Asunción, Agencia IP.- The President of the Paraguayan Federation of Tong-Il Moo-Do, Carlos Nuñez, informed this Sunday that they received the official invite to the World Martial Arts Championship to be held in Mombasa, Kenya, from December 9 to 20 of this year, the 11th edition of this competition. It will be disputed from December 15 until 17 at the Khan Academy in Mombasa.

The tournament is open to all styles and martial arts federations from all countries. Children from 7 years old and men and women from 18 to 55 years are eligible to compete in sparring and forms and special techniques individually or in teams, according to the letter sent by the Grandmaster Takamitsu Hoshiko, Executive President of the World International Tong-IL Moo-Do Federation, and Master Clarence Mwakio Ingalwa, President of the Kenyan Tong-IL Moo-Do Federation.

The Sparring team competition will have between 3 to 5 members and compete in open weight. The tournament will be divided into black belts and other colour belts (inferior to black), adding the letter.

Originally, martial arts were practised as a knowledge of physical and spiritual development by the Buddhist monks in monasteries. The Tong-IL Moo-Do “is the way towards unifying martial arts”. A new form of martial arts is created, combining and improving the ancient martial arts, both in self-defence techniques and reviving the emphasis on the spiritual dimension of Martial Arts.
