ComBATON is the hottest new sport in the martial arts arena. Floridian Steve Blanton is the founder and current commissioner of comBATON The Martial Arts Team Sport. Steve conceived the basic idea for the sport in 1990 and patented the game in 1997.Combaton does not replace traditional martial arts schools, rather it is a supplement to traditional training.
All players are martial artists and most are black belts. A significant number hold the rank of Martial Arts Master. ComBATON is a kicking sport characterized by 360 degree kicks, flying sidekicks, and jumping front kicks. The game is as exciting to watch as it is to play. Players may be trained in kung fu, karate, taekwondo, MMA or other kicking martial art. Excellent cardiovascular conditioning is essential due to the extended playing times.
ComBATON is mentioned in the March 2008 issue of Black Belt Magazine and was featured at the Disney Martial Arts Festival twice. A 30 second video is featured at www.comBATON.com. New teams are welcome to join the comBATON martial arts family.
ComBATON is holding a Tournament of Games at Lyman High School, 865 Ronald Regan Blvd, Longwood, Fl on February 23, 2008. This is the second of a series of three Tournaments of Games. The first Tournament of Games was held in Hollywood, Fl, on January 12, 2008.
