Wednesday, December 1, 2004 - Xavier Martial Arts Academy is determined
to bring the entire Martial Arts community together to ensure that the
discipline maintains prominence in St. Lucia, through an international Karate
tournament and seminar to be held in April, 2005.
President of the Xavier Martial Arts Academy, Benny Chitolie said there was need
to sensitise the public about the benefits of Martial Arts to their well being:
“Our job for that tournament is to uplift the level of Martial Arts, get the
participation level going, get people involved, organise various programmes.
People could realise this is something they need to do; this is someplace I need
to go. The kids can develop themselves in terms of their moral values, in terms
of crime and violence, in terms of discipline, change all those things around
and put everything back how it used to be. We had a perfect society before, and
I think Martial Arts could change that and bring that back how it used to be”.
The Xavier Martial Arts Academy is affiliated to the World Blackbelt
Incorporated, an organisation founded by renowned Martial Artist, Chuck Norris
and the International Martial Arts Council of America.
