Martial Arts
Havana, Dec 5 (Africazine) – Excitement is palpable across Cuba as the nation gears up to celebrate the 66th anniversary of the Triumph of the Cuban Revolution this December 7. This year, the festivity will be highlighted by a spectacular Martial Arts Gala, set to unfold in various squares throughout the country this coming Saturday.
The event is organized by Inder, in collaboration with the Cuban Association of Martial Arts (Acam), and promises to be nothing short of extraordinary. From Cabo de San Antonio to Punta de Maisí, every corner of Cuba is expected to reverberate with the spirit of martial arts, creating an ambiance of community and celebration. The Ramon Fonst multipurpose hall in Havana will serve as the centerpiece for the celebration, which coincides with a remembrance of Operation Tribute—an important historical event that honored the brave internationalist fighters who served in Angola.
Acam, which boasts a remarkable membership of around 40,000, is poised to showcase the diverse skills of its practitioners during this grand festival. With various martial arts disciplines represented, attendees can look forward to witnessing the talent and dedication of individuals who have committed themselves to this dynamic field.
Master Nubia Bregado, the president of Acam and an eighth Dan karate black belt, expressed her enthusiasm for the event. She also highlighted that this year’s gala will feature prominent martial arts masters from Mexico and Brazil, two countries recognized as strongholds in martial arts on the continent. The event aims to foster connections and collaborative efforts in promoting martial arts among these nations, particularly following the important agreements established between Cuba, Mexico, Brazil, and South Korea early in 2024.
This gala is not just a celebration of martial arts; it symbolizes the unity and resilience of the Cuban people, echoing their commitment to culture, sport, and community. As this historic occasion approaches, it reflects the rich tapestry of Cuban history and the ongoing efforts to honor and celebrate the country’s vibrant culture and its martial arts heritage.
Join us in celebrating this momentous occasion, and don’t miss the chance to experience the powerful display of martial arts that embodies the spirit of Cuba. #Cuba #WorldNews #Lifestyle
