That would be correct. It will be like a multi sports games carnival similar to the Olympics where each sport discipline will run and manage their own sports competitions. Each sport discipline will be on show for up to 2 days each within the 2 week programme. The martial arts are well known for its skills and spectacular techniques and it would be great if the organizers or the 12 sports above could agree to put together a skills demonstration extravaganza where each sport discipline could showcase their best skills for the crowd or even have an open demonstration competition where the best teams would win gold, silver or bronze just like a sporting event on its own right. The rules and judging would be a challenge in itself to get agreement and an acceptable methodology that would clearly determine the winners. Interesting!! Yes. That would be correct.
