Dear National Coaches, Athletes & Parents.

With regards to our upcoming European International Martial Arts Games!!!

Demonstration martial arts competition weapons are generally allowed in Germany if they are not sharpened, have no sharp points, or are designed exclusively for decoration (i.e., not capable of causing injury)

However, strict German weapons laws (Waffengesetz) strictly forbid specific items, and carrying any "dangerous" object in public is restricted.

Here is a breakdown of the rules for competition weapons in Germany:

1. Specifically Prohibited Weapons

The following items are completely illegal to own, carry, or import into Germany, regardless of whether they are meant for competition or demonstration.

•Nunchakus (including soft nunchakus)
•Throwing Stars (Shuriken)
•Butterfly Knives (Balisong)
•Push Daggers (e.g., Indian Katar) .
•Brass Knuckles (and Okinawan Tekko)
•Weapons disguised as everyday items (e.g., sword canes)

2. Allowed Competition/Demo Weapons
Blunt/Training Weapons:

•Blunt swords both long and short (katanas, rapiers)
•Wooden weapons (bokken, bo staffs),
• Rubber training knives are generally legal to own and use within the competitive setting
•Rubber Throwing Stars: Rubber, foam, or plastic versions of illegal weapons are permitted
•Rubber/Plastic Trainers: Plastic knives, including butterfly trainers without sharp edges, are legal

3. Transportation and Public Carriage
Transporting to Training/Competition:

Weapons must be transported in a locked container or secured bag, and they must not be immediately accessible during transportation

NOTE - Public Display:

You cannot openly carry any demonstration weapon in public.

Assembly Law: Section 17a(1) of the German Act on Public Assemblies prohibits carrying "protective weapons" or any item designed to be used in martial arts that could be interpreted as a weapon for defense in public assemblies

YOU WILL REQUIRE OUR OFFICIAL WEAPONS COMPETITION LETTER TO BE ATTACHED TO YOUR WEAPONS CASE AS PROOF IT WILL ONLY BE USED FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES.

We’re pleased to announce that responsibility for the World Martial Arts Games has officially transitioned from the World Martial Arts Games Committee to the Global Martial Arts Council (GMAC).

While this marks an important step forward, there will be continuity at the heart of the Games. The key individuals who have shaped and developed the World Martial Arts Games since 2019 will continue to play a central role in its organisation and direction.

Athletes, teams, and supporters can expect the same structure, management, and high standards that have defined the Games to date, now under the banner of GMAC.

Please see the Official Press Release below :
