By the end of the championships, Great Britain was the top nation in terms of medals won, with West Germany second and Italy third.

By the end of the championships CIS was the top nation in Full-Contact, winning two golds, one silver and two bronze medals.

By the end of the championships Great Britain was by far the most successful nation in Semi-Contact, picking up five gold, two silvers and one bronze in the male and female categories.

Involving more physical contact than Semi but less so than Full, points were awarded on the basis of speed and technique over power.

Musical Forms is a non-physical competition which sees the contestants fighting against imaginary foes using Martial Arts techniques - more information can be accessed on the W.A.K.O.

[8] Musical Forms at these championships was not well documented and several winners are absent, but from the existing records it would appear that the Netherlands were the most successful nation with one gold and one silver.
