The International Combat Wrestling Federation (FICW), governing body for Combat Wrestling, is giving this historic Japanese sport its rightful place on the international stage. Combat Wrestling has existed for over two decades in Japan and was the creation of legendary wrestler Noriaki Kiguchi. Before ADCC, Grappler’s Quest, NAGA, Polaris, EBI or Metamoris, there was Combat Wrestling. On October 16th, the 2nd Annual Combat Wrestling World Championship was held in Tomasi, Hungary. The US Team performed very well taking home the Team World Championship for 2016, and they are looking to repeat in 2017. The US Team trials will be held in conjunction with the National and Pan Am Championships being  held in St. Louis, MO, on July 28-30th. See ww.combatwrestling.us for more details. 

The 2017 World Championship will be held in Saitama, Japan, October 21st-22nd. Japan is the birthplace of the sport of Combat Wrestling. We are looking to gain support for our team memebers to provide full funding for flight and hotel accmodations. We were suceessful last year in fully funding our athletes on the men's world team thanks to all our sponsors and donors. We hope to be able to the same this year with the help of the public! 

USA Combat Wrestling is 501-3c not-for-profit organization. Dontations are tax deductible within the accordance of the Interanl Revenue Service.
