Morocco's Maria Oudghiri won on Wednesday the title of the Arab Virtual Shadow Kickboxing Championship (7 and 8 years old), organized by the Arab Kickboxing Union.
The Moroccan won the title after ranking first with a total of 44.5 points, ahead of her compatriot Rayan Betroune.
Third place went to Syria's Mohamed Noor Mashouh and Jordan's Soultan Nabil El Manasir (43.5 points).
The competition brought together 260 kickboxers representing 12 Arab countries.
In order to decide between the participants, a jury was in charge of grading them after evaluating their performance according to specific criteria, in particular the good execution of kata techniques, the speed and rhythm of execution.
Through this tournament, the Arab Union aims to encourage kickboxers to continue training at home, considering Shadow Kickboxing to be an important exercise that allows individual work on technical elements such as sequences and tactical patterns.
