The first-ever TAFISA World Martial Arts Games at the Oval, organizations from around the world are sending in their teams for the competitions, just as they would for the Olympic Games. Between athletes and spectators, this four-day event is expected to draw thousands of visitors to Richmond, British Columbia to watch martial arts ranging from the exotic – including Xtreme, Musical and Chinese Weapons Forms – to the more action-packed grapple and point sparring forms.
