2009 Asian Martial Arts Games

2009 Asian Martial Arts Games, officially the 1st Asian Martial Arts Games, were a pancontinental martial arts multi-sport event held in Bangkok, Thailand from 1 to 9 August 2009 with 9 events contested. Due to Political crisis in Thailand And 2009 Swine Flu, the Bangkok Asian Martial Arts Games Organizing Committee (BAMAGOC) and the National Olympic Committee (NOC) of Thailand decided that Asian Martial Arts Games moved from the original schedule of 25 April to 3 May to 1 to 9 August.
This event was the only Asian Martial Arts Games ever held, as four years later the event merged with another Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) event – Asian Indoor Games – to form the larger Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games.
