A BIG CHANGE. A NEW ROUND. COMING IN 2027. 🥋

NASKA World Class Black Belt point fighting is moving to a new match format!

Starting in 2027, at NASKA World Tour 4A–6A events, all adult 18+ black belt point sparring and open weight divisions will feature:

🥊 TWO 90-second rounds
⏱️ A 30-second rest between rounds

Two rounds bring a new layer of strategy—and a chance to reset, make adjustments, and come back ready for the next round.

This is an exciting step forward for our competitors, coaches, and fans. We can’t wait to see the energy this brings to the mat in 2027!

More exciting updates to come. 👀 🥊

YOU SPOKE. WE LISTENED. 🥋

A big scoring change is coming to NASKA point fighting in 2027!

After listening to competitors, coaches, and fans, we’re excited to announce:

🔥 BODY KICKS = 1 POINT
Previously worth 2 points, body kicks will be worth ONE POINT beginning in 2027.

A single point can decide a match. This change gives competitors and coaches a new reason to rethink combinations, adjust their strategy, and make every exchange count.

How will this change YOUR game plan? 👇

The 2027 updates keep coming—and we have more exciting news ahead!
