IMAC (INTERNATIONAL MARTIAL ARTS CONFEDERATION) 4TH MARTIAL ARTS OLYMPICS "EAST-WEST OPEN" APRIL 16TH - 18TH, 2010 SPORTS- CONCERT COMPLEX "PETERBURGSKY" ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA
Welcome to the 4th Martial Arts Olympics "East-West Open" which will be held on April 16th -18th, 2010 in St. Petersburg, Russia at the Sports-Concert Complex "Petersburghy", Russia. Due to the magnitude and growth of the festival, the organizers, including Professor Nickolai V. Smirnov, founder of Imac (International Martial Arts Confederation) have deemed this is truly Olympics at its best and have added the sports competition divisions of Thai Boxing and Point Fighting Karate. The name "East-West" unites both the eastern culture of the Martial Arts which now has a strong foothold in the west and the great city of Neva, uniting Europe and Asia, thus "East-West". Today as the threat of wars loom over our civilizationdue to different ethnics and cultures, we the Martial Artists can unite to end this by sports competition as our only means of opposition. The Martial Arts Olympics 'East-West Open" will follow the tradition of the festival. The parade of thousands for opening ceremonies set the stage for 34 areas of competition this year. Participants will have the opportunity to perform in Karate, Okinawan style, Taekwondo, Grappling, MMA, Self-Defensem Thai Boxing, Point Fighting, Kum-Do, Wushu, Duelian, TaiChi Chuan, Combat Sambo, Kiokishinkai, Penchat-Silas, Muay Thai, Breaking ,Kobudo and Team Fighting.
The official medal with its logo of the globe surrounded by a black belt is a symbol of spiritual perfection and skill, uniting people of good will and will proudly be awarded to the winners of each copmetition. We are greatful to our brothers and sisters in the Martial Arts who have supported this endeavor in the past and are looking forward to sustaining these friendships and making new ones at the 4th Martial Arts Olympics "East-West Open"!.
