Thailand Holds Asian Martial Arts Games

VOANews: Thailand Holds Asian Martial Arts Games

Thailand this month hosted the first Asian Martial Arts Games with the aim of raising interest and pride in Asian fighting sports. Some of the participating countries, such as war-torn Iraq, have struggled against deadly obstacles back home to promote the sports. But, as VOA's Daniel Schearf reports from Bangkok, the Olympic Council of Asia has decided this event will be the last martial arts games.
