On 15-17 April, 2011, in the St. Petersburg Sports and Concert Complex the Fifth
IMAC Martial Arts Olympics East-West Open took place. The list of competitions included the following traditional disciplines: Karate, Japan style weapons, Nippon kempo kobudo, Free style full contact fighting, Taekwondo, Wushu, Thai boxing, and many others.
One discipline in the list was rather unsual for most participants and spectators - Knife throwing, arranged and supervised by Alexander Morozov. In 2011 the discipline was presented for the second time, as the great work performed by Alexander had been noticed and appreciated by the Olympics holders. Alexander Morozov is an establisher of the Saint Petersburg’s club for knife throwing С.Т.А.Л.К.Е.Р.Ъ (pronounced as [‘stʌlkə]), and he strives to develop this sport and build awareness about it for the public.
