Dimapur, Dec 10: The 6th North East Free Style Open Martial Arts Championship 2007 got started Monday here at DDSC Stadium with former chief minister Nagaland KL Chishi as chief guest.

Earlier, the programme was chaired by secretary, organizing committee Kughalu K. Chishi, while Caroline Chishi presented a number and the oath taking was administered by Kahoto Achumi, chief technical director Nagaland Mansurai Kung-fu Association (NMKA).
