Am I correct in assuming women are not permitted to take part in this tournament? The dress code seems to enforce going topless, and the lowest weight class is some 30 pounds above my current weight, and significantly above average weight for a woman below about 175 cm.

While there is no cultural problem in Kahanistan with women going topless (though some of us have body issues), it is unlikely many women from more conservative states will sign up. I will sign on anyway, in the hope that my initial assumption is incorrect.

To whom it may concern,

The IFDA officially boycotts this event.
The IFDA along with other Allied Duelist organizations cite the over regulation of the combatants in this tournament. The restrictive assign this competition the actual task of seeking out perhaps at best the most superior sportsmen in a point based system arbitrarily defined not by the combatants but by seated judges(note these judges are not of an international nature).

The Angaorian International Martial Arts Championship is not seeking the best fighter regardless of style, see Muay Thai, Krav Maga, Jeet Kune Do, Pencak Silat, Empty Handed Kali, Jui Jitsu(in its multitude of forms), Wing Chun, Choy Li Fut, Chin Na, Combat Sambo, Ara'Ailiae, Combatives employed in Dommingsland, and so forth and so on etc etc. All of these styles emply to a great focus many of the banned practices.

If the Angaorian Martial Arts Association seeks to determine the BEST fighter we urge this competition to greatly reduce these arbitrary restrictions and limitaitions placed on the fighters.

Currently this competition stands as being more regulated then a Juniors duel.

Due to Past fights with out these restrictions have result in death and injury to vital points in the body. Which cause us to go underground and now we seek to come back to the public with the restrictions to protect fighters from death. Now just beacause we have these restrictions doesnt mean you will not see bloodshed.

Also for those who are riskier their will be deathmatches in secertive buildings for fighter who wish to collect a large fee 250,000 dollars. These rule is simple the fighter must ether kill his oppenonet or cause major injury to the fighter. the last fighter standing wins. These Match are run by Organized Crime Figures and Corrupt Match officals

[OOC: I hate arrival posts, but may as well bump the thread and get it up and running...]

Mara arrived in the airport in Angaor. She was dressed in sweats over her sparring clothes, and reading a book on Krav Maga. Like most Kahanistanian officers, she had a black belt in it, but was now reading over techniques to determine what would be good for this competition; she wasn't aiming to kill or maim anyone.

She had let a friend talk her into signing up for the tournament to get her mind off her life. Mara had undergone a career change, switching from the Presidential Security Detachment to the diplomatic corps, and on top of that, the new man in the life of one of her friends had hurt her and her friend emotionally. She needed to blow off steam and kick some ass. Most of the asses here were much larger than hers; she was one of the smaller female competitors, about average height and very slim.

Mara stood with her back against a wall at the airport, her bag behind her legs, her nose in her martial arts book. Any other competitors here would recognise her as probably one of them. She did not look like a military type, with long, pretty dark brown hair hanging around her face. She looked completely engrossed in her book, but would hear the arrival of the transportation.

OOC: I have your first opponent Kayla James

Kayla and Jai were walking around the tournament the first fight was in a hour and it was Kayla vs Mara. Kayla was kind of worry seeing as she has never fought Krav maga fighter. But she was looking foward to it She thought of it as a new experience wether she lost or win. While Jai wasnt worried at all on reason was beacause he is a monk and there not taught to worry. he was not worried but fighting anybody no matter what there fighting style was. Jai walked over to his tent where he picked up a few metal strips. he took them and began to break them with head after the third one he stop and just begin to pratice his martial art. he start off with the Eagle style then switched to Tiger. Before he went into meditation

Mara walked over to the car and stepped in. "About how safe is this?" she asked. "I mean, this is sport, I don't want to kill anyone here, or permanently injure someone. Haven't been in a sparring match since advanced combatives training, and that was... oh, lord, it was five years ago."

The team had had a private jet laid on for them, and they arrived in the style befitting the four greatest martial artists in the entirety of the Republic. Aidan and Yoriko walked hand in hand, while Shujumi and Miguel chatted about the various competitions they had competed in, verbally sparring with each other.
