Middleast Warriorz began with our Leader Warrior, Gabriel Harika, training alone and seeking new ways to inspire people to start calisthenics and embrace a healthy lifestyle. Despite lacking professional equipment, he pursued his dream of growing the calisthenics community in Lebanon. Over time, new members joined, dedicating their time to training, supporting each other and pushing the limits.

This drive led to the question, "Now, what's next?!" and the creation of the CaliBattles in 2019. Since then, the competition has grown and evolved, becoming the major event it is today. CaliBattles now attracts elite calisthenics athletes from Lebanon, the Middle East, and around the world.
