Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic – The Dominican Kurash Federation (Fedokurash), together with the Panamerican Kurash Union, has been a vital supporter of beach competitions in this ancient discipline, which dates back more than 3,500 years.
Since 2016, Fedokurash has held the International Beach Kurash Tournament as part of the Pan-American Kurash Week. Several countries, including Chile, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Panama, Mexico, the United States, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic, among others, have participated continuously.
The preferred venue for these competitions has been the aphrodisiac and popular Boca Chica Beach in the Dominican Republic, which has given the competitors an international exposure due to the large influx of tourists of different nationalities who, along with the numerous native public, have been present at the aforementioned competitions, enjoying the white sand, intense blue sky, and exciting Caribbean sun. This International Beach Kurash Tournament normally takes place within the framework of the Pan American Week for the discipline, which also includes seminars, training courses, and examinations. It also includes the Pan American Carpet Championships for children, youth, and senior men and women, held at the Juan Pablo Duarte Olympic Center in the Dominican capital.
These Pan American Kurash Weeks have included the World Series Pro (WSP) qualifications in their 2023 and 2024 schedules, as a relevant event for this discipline originating in Uzbekistan and enjoying widespread acceptance throughout Central Asia since its formalization on September 6, 1998, in Tashkent, with the formation of the International Kurash Association (IKA).
Finally, the Dominican Republic and other National Federations have developed Beach Kurash events, which have allowed the dissemination of this sport throughout the Americas through the Panamerican Kurash Union.
The 1st International Beach Kurash Tournament 2016 was held on Saturday, December 3rd, in the beach resort of Boca Chica, marking a milestone with the introduction of this colorful competitive form of this martial art.

The 2nd International Beach Kurash Tournament took place on Saturday, December 9th, 2017, repeating the traditional venue in the tourist resort of Boca Chica, delighting tourists visiting this Caribbean country and the general public.
On Saturday, December 8th, 2018, we held the 3rd International Beach Kurash Tournament, with the participation of athletes from the various countries participating in the Panamerican Kurash Week.
The 4th International Beach Kurash Tournament, as part of the Pan-American Kurash Week activities, was held on Friday, November 29th, 2019, and was organized by the Dominican Kurash Federation (Fedokurash), chaired by Dr. Israel Agustín Caraballo Jiménez.
In 2020 and 2021, the Pan American Kurash Week activities were suspended due to the outbreak of COVID-19, which triggered a pandemic that took several months to overcome.
Thus, the 5th International Beach Kurash Tournament, or as Dominicans call it, Beach Kurash, returned on Monday, December 12, 2022, gaining increasing acceptance among the athletes and officials of the various National Federations present. It was held at the Juan Pablo Duarte Olympic Center in Santo Domingo.
The 6th International Beach Kurash Tournament was held in 2023, on Sunday, August 27, and was traditionally held in Boca Chica, having to overcome the inclement weather caused by Tropical Storm Franklin.
As every year, the 7th International Beach Kurash Tournament took place in Boca Chica on Sunday, July 7, 2024. Like previous editions, it has served as an important foundation for the dissemination of this sport at the continental level, achieving widespread international repercussions.
At these Pan American Kurash Week events, we have had the presence of various personalities, including Ziyoviddin Khodjiniyazov and Mohamed Reza Nassiri, who are Vice President and Secretary General, respectively, of the International Kurash Association, and Habibulla Tadjiev, Rector of the International Kurash Institute (IKI), among others. For this 2025, on June 14 and 15, we will once again see the Beach Kurash competitions organized by the Dominican Kurash Federation, Fedokurash, and endorsed by the Pan American Union (UPK) of the discipline under the regulations of the International Kurash Association (IKA).
