Eagles Martial Arts Academy (EMAA) turned in commendable efforts to cart off the lion’s share of medals when they participated in the NAFMA Guyana Open Martial Arts Championships at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall (CASH) last week Friday.
The two entities carted off several awards with the EMAA clinching 14 gold medals in the kata, sparring and self defence in different age categories. That entity also won 2 silver medals in weapon and defence and wrapped up the day with one bronze in self defence.
Among the high performers of the EMAA are Mark Zaman (1st in kata), Nizi Realine (1st in kata and weapons), Krystal Realine (1st in kata and weapons), Louis Realine (1st in kata and weapons), Amitabh Persaud (1st kata and sparring and 2nd in weapons), Gerald Beaton (1st kata), Maria Roberts (1st kata) and Sensei Bobb (1st in kata and weapons).
Those that did well from the FAPC are Teneka Grant (1st in self defence), Kisha Clinton (2nd in self defense), Nayiasha Sommersell (3rd in self defence) and Maxine Klass (appreciation).
Sensei Bobb said that he is very pleased with the standard exhibited by the practitioners even as he urged them to continue training in pursuit of greater goals.
