“The idea of spar wars is to create an environment where young athletes can compete safely and get in a small way financially rewarded for their skills. We had food stalls that added to the vibe where young fans could come watch fights with their friends and have a good time” Khriemelie Metha, founder of The Combat Academy Nagaland stated in an update.
