The championship

What are
Cali-Battles?

More than a competition. Held in the heart of Lebanon and reaching across the Middle East, Cali-Battles gives calisthenics athletes a platform to show what they can do and find where their limit actually is.

The mission is to put Middle Eastern athletes against not only each other but world champions from everywhere else — and to crown the most complete athlete rather than the most specialised one.

Judged on

Three disciplines

01 Statics
Held positions. Strength expressed as absolute stillness — the harder the shape, the higher the class.
02 Power dynamics
Explosive movement. Everything that leaves the bar and has to be caught again.
03 Dynamic tricks
Rotation and transition. Where difficulty and clean execution are hardest to hold together.

Scoring is set out in full in the official rulebook , including the S-to-D difficulty classes and how Combination and Flow are marked.
