Fighter safety and medical support

Injuries are an integral part of the active life of a combat sport player. KCC is built to reduce them and to help fighters recover well.

Three-year target

25%<10%

The KCC Safety and Awareness Committee works to promote safety, well-being and ethical conduct in combat sports. Its goal is to cut the injury-related dropout rate among athletes from 25% to under 10% within three years.

The committee is led by Dr. Rohit Nanda as President, with Dr. Adarsh Kumar as Director of Academic and Technical Affairs, and event safety coordinators on every card.
