FREQUently Asked questions

World Champs Arena is independently organized by our founders—a group of global professionals, many of whom are high-ranking black belts. We are not affiliated with any martial arts school, style, or organization. Our mission is to give competitors everywhere the opportunity to compete fairly, free from bias.

Our corporate headquarters is based in the United States. However, we are a global company that enables competitors from anywhere in the world to participate. Whether you are a beginner or advanced martial artist, you can compete fairly at your own level—no matter your location.

Participants submit video performances in their chosen divisions. Independent judges from around the world score each submission based on skill, technique, and execution. Winners are awarded official World Champs Arena medals.

Our judges are experienced martial artists and black belts from different countries. They are carefully selected to ensure no personal or organizational ties, which allows us to maintain impartial and fair scoring for every competitor.

We offer multiple divisions based on age, gender, belt rank, and category (including empty hand forms and weapons). This structure ensures every competitor is matched fairly and has an equal opportunity to succeed. (see registration page for more info)
