Natural Muscle

The Kumite Classic is proud to promote natural body building under the banner of Muscle Mania. Here is some info about the Muscle Mania Organization. Celebrating its 20th season, it has become the leader among natural bodybuilding events. With exclusive, international television coverage by ESPN International, TSN RDS Canada, Sky Sport Britain, Star Sport Asia and other worldwide networks, Musclemania is more recognized than any other natural contest worldwide. And with this popularity, Musclemania continues to expand throughout the world with regional and international events this year.

HISTORY

Musclemania began in 1991 as bodybuilding’s first and only tour of world class level staged competitions. Early on, Musclemania took a bold and challenging step forward by declaring that this exciting event would become a natural event. It would soon become America’s most popular natural bodybuilding competition.

Past Champions represent some of the industry’s most respected natural athletes, among them including:

JUDGING AND PERFORMANCES

At the prejudging all contestants will be equally and fairly judged within their division and classes. This will include (1) an initial line-up, (2) mandatory poses and comparisons, (3) selected grouping comparisons and (4) individual posing routines. The process is rigorous and demanding, but with the sole intention of selecting who deserves to be a Musclemania Champion.

Musclemania judging criteria is based upon four, equally scored categories:

• Symmetry 25%;
• Muscle Mass 25%;
• Condition 25%;
• Posing Presentation 25% (Top 5 Finalists Only)

At the Finals all contestants will be introduced to the audience and participate in a Class Posedown. The Top 5 Finalists in each Division and/or Class will perform their individual posing routines. Routines are limited to 90 seconds.

Musclemania is known to be a world class stage event. This reputation is earned, in part, due to state-of-art audio system, provided by Digital Dolby. It is recommended that you take advantage of this available technology by having your music edited and dubbed by an audio technician. Only CD-R disc music will be accepted (do not use CD-RW discs). Music may NOT be provided on cassette.
