Karnataka Arm Sports Association
Events & Rules
Age categories, weight classes, equipment and format — the official rulebook behind every KASA event.
How It Works
Competition Format
KASA events are run under the Double Elimination System (not knockout) — a competitor must lose twice before being eliminated, giving every athlete a fair chance to prove their strength.
Events comprise three disciplines — Arm Fighting, Arm Pushing and Arm Pulling — each divided into Children, Youth, Senior, Masters, Grand Masters and Physically Challenged sections, with separate body-weight categories in every section. Up to two competitors may enter each weight category per Nation, State or District.
