European Kombatan Association holds the European Championships every two years. We started international competitions in Pori, Finland in 2018 by organizing the World Championships. After that we decided to focus on the competitions of our own organization in Europe. The 2019 competitions were in Gothenburg, Sweden, 2023 in Graz, Austria and 2025 in Aarhus, Denmark. During the Corona period, competitions were not organized. Next European Championships will be hold in Lohja, Finland In January 20-24th 2027.
