2025 World Open Martial Arts Championship

Every year for 11 years prior to the Pandemic, the World Open Martial Arts Championship (WOMAC) attracted hundreds of elite competitors from around the world who came together in New York City to compete for medals and special honors, with diverse martial arts styles including form competitions (open hand & weapons) in Modern Wushu, Northern Kung Fu, Southern Kung Fu, Karate, Taekwondo, Internal Martial Arts, Taijiquan, and Silat, as well as combat competitions in Wrestling, Point and Continuous Sparring, Sanda (Full Contact), Weapons Sparring, Push Hands, and Self-Defense Demonstrations.

This is the third year (2025) that we will have our Championship in the Boston area. Our judges are experienced in national and international level competitions and possess extensive knowledge in their martial art disciplines, thus ensuring the quality and professionalism of the WOMAC, and presenting a truly fair competition for martial artists of all levels and ages, and a delight for spectators. 

The Martial Spirit In Competitions

Organized by the World Fighting Martial Arts Federation (WFMAF), the WOMAC is an arena which promotes the core values of martial arts: self-discipline, self-respect and respect for others, the nurturing of personal growth, and the practice of inclusion of all people and cultures as a means to building a whole and healthy society. This tournament provides a unique experience for martial artists from around the globe to come together and compete in a fair and friendly atmosphere, to share skills and knowledge, to establish new friendships with those who share the same core values of martial arts, and to express these core values through actions.

Come and join us on Sunday, October 26th, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (doors open at 8:15 a.m.) for our 14th Annual Championship, and experience for yourself martial spirit hand in hand with one of the premier martial arts tournament events on the East Coast of the United States.  The championship will feature performances, distinguished martial arts guests, competitors of all ages and levels, catered lunch, vendors, sponsoring organizations, and an 8-way video display on the Center’s jumbotron!

And for a special, pre-championship treat, attend our Saturday, October 25th, 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. gala, featuring special awards and recognitions, Dan (black belt degree) ceremonies, master demonstrations, and a festive dinner!
