A significant international training day in Kurash, attended by over 100 participants including cadets from the Peruvian National Police, athletes, and representatives from the military, police, fire department, prison guard, and municipal security forces, successfully concluded.
The event focused on refereeing, sports coaching, and the use of technological tools applied to Kurash, creating new opportunities for the growth of this discipline in Peru.
The activity was promoted and organized by the Sports Federation of Police and Firefighters (FEDEPOL) as part of its institutional policy aimed at strengthening sports, specialized training, and national and international sports integration for military, police, fire, prison guard, municipal security, cadet, and athlete personnel.
Luis Enrique Bogantes Sanabria, a sports dignitary from the Panamerican Kurash Union (UPK) and Director of Technology for that continental organization, shared technical knowledge and international experiences designed to strengthen the skills of referees, coaches, athletes, and future organizers of official Kurash competitions.
This event is part of the expansion process being promoted by the Panamerican Kurash Union to incorporate and strengthen new organizations committed to the development of this discipline in the Americas.
Peru offers favorable conditions for consolidating a modern, organized sports structure with an international reach.In Peru, the organized practice of Kurash has been developing since late 2014, driven by the Sports Federation of Police and Firefighters (FEDEPOL), which promoted its initial activities for outreach, training, and participation.
This process is now entering a new phase of specialized institutionalization through the Peruvian Kurash Association (APK), the organization responsible for strengthening and promoting the technical and athletic development of this discipline at the national level.
In this process, FEDEPOL is carrying out important institutional work under the leadership of its president, Lieutenant Shian Navarro Cornejo, coordinating efforts with national and international sports organizations to expand training and competition opportunities for Peruvian athletes.
Also actively participating was Mr. Julio Reza Huaroc, president of the Peruvian Kurash Association, an organization that has been contributing to the technical, organizational, and territorial strengthening of this discipline, promoting its practice among children, youth, cadets, and athletes, as well as the progressive training of coaches, referees, and new sports centers in different parts of the country.
This training also constitutes one of the preparatory steps toward the 1st Pan American Police Kurash Championship 2026, an international event to be held in Lima, Peru, from December 4 to 6, 2026.
This championship will bring together delegations and athletes from different countries of the Americas and will serve as a platform for camaraderie, integration, and international promotion of Kurash.As part of their agenda in Lima, Peru, the delegation also conducted a technical visit to the facilities designated for the sporting events.

The sporting and international importance of the event scheduled for December was explained to him, along with the possibility of promoting its institutional recognition and fostering exhibition and outreach activities for Kurash in educational and sporting venues. These actions reflect that the development of Kurash in Peru transcends the mere holding of a competition and extends toward the construction of a permanent policy of sports training, technical development, international cooperation, and the inclusion of new generations.
In all the activities, meetings, and technical visits carried out during the international mission, sports dignitary Luis Enrique Bogantes Sanabria was accompanied by Shian Navarro Cornejo, president of FEDEPOL, and Julio Reza Huaroc, president of the Peruvian Kurash Association, reaffirming a line of work based on cooperation, institutional framework, and Pan-American sporting brotherhood.

The collaboration between FEDEPOL (Peruvian Sports Federation), the Peruvian Kurash Association, and the Panamerican Kurash Union opens a new chapter for this discipline in the country, aimed at expanding its practice, enhancing the technical skills of its participants, and creating the necessary conditions for Peru to have an increasingly active presence within the Pan American and international Kurash movement.
More than just a training session, this event represents a new step in building a sporting community united by the values of discipline, respect, fraternity, and cooperation that distinguish Kurash and military, police, fire, prison, and security sports throughout the Americas.
