The International Canadian Martial Arts Federation (ICMAF) proudly held its first Para Martial Arts Seminar in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on February 15–16, 2025. Hosted in collaboration with AlFares Rehabilitation Center, the University of Business & Technology (UBT), and the Saudi Committee for Sports Masters (SCSM), the event brought together instructors, experts, and participants from 12 countries, both in person and online.

The seminar included both theoretical sessions, led by experts in Para Karate and fitness development, and a practical demonstration by Para Karate athletes with intellectual disabilities. With over 190 attendees and widespread interest, the seminar marked a milestone in inclusive martial arts education in the region.

Due to the strong engagement and positive feedback, ICMAF has accepted an invitation to return for a second, expanded seminar in July 2025.

Stay tuned for more details—and we look forward to seeing you in Jeddah this summer.
