Here is a link to the the World Combat League.
The WCL is the vision of Martial Arts icon Chuck Norris. It is a sports league like the NBA or NFL made up of professional martial arts fighters on teams representing American cities. WCL contests combine the excitement of martial arts combat with the thrill of routing for your favorite team. Our goal is to provide sports fans with an unprecedented level of "full throttle" martial arts fighting action in every second of each round of every team contest.
WHY WILL THERE BE MORE ACTION?
Since each athlete is designated to fight only two separate, three minute matches per team contest (rather than five to twelve consecutive rounds) they can really "let it fly" in each match-round in an effort to earn as many points for their team as possible. Plus, the WCL rules penalize any activities, like clinching, stalling or passivity that slows down the action.
WHAT IS A WCL CONTEST LIKE?
Every team has six professional fighters (five men and one woman) in six fixed weight classes. Each contest is scheduled for twelve rounds, but like a football game, it is divided into two halves. Both halves feature six rounds each; one for every team member vs. their opponent on the opposing team. So, each athlete, barring knockout, will get to face off against their opponent twice in each contest.
WHO ARE THE FIGHTERS?
The WCL league roster is the result of a careful selection process from a pool of hundreds of applicants from around the U.S. Each athlete was selected and placed on a team based on their fighting style, the potential to contribute to their team and their overall demeanor as a martial artist. Our goal is to help our athletes earn the same level of recognition and reward as athletes in other professional sports leagues.
