company Corebolics and combat equipment company USI came forward; although not so
much, but was good as a starter.
Lets hear from some of the leaders:
Alan Fenandez, national coach: AIMMAA has and always been committed for the
development of the Sport of MMA and the growth of the athletes from day one and this event
is a testament of that commitment. Our endevour to develop the sport from the grassroot
levels is paying off and soon we will have the best athletes from India staking claims for
medals at the world level. AIMMAA is all about Team work and its chiefs and all officials are
proficient and know their job responsibilities!!
Sharif Bapu, National working committee President: This National Championship we
saw new talent from various states of our country looking promising to take on the World
MMA amateur circuit by Surprise. The AIMMAA Amateur National 2016 was one of the
highlights in the history of Indian MMA Sports. Where more than 200 Fighters from 22 States
& officials from 26 states were a part of this epic championship. Crowd of around 1000 people
were motivated as the standard of fighters was just excellent. Overall, as the NWC President, I
was myself mesmerized by the flow of event as around 100 bouts took place smoothly on
both days. The standard of fighters & their enthusiasm to show their skill was amazing. The
future of Indian MMA is beyond imagination.
Prasad Gaitonde, NWC General Secretary: India has got both volume and value
based talent. With the talent that we have, we are confident of grabbing a medal at World
championship soon. The only thing stopping us is the cost involved, and getting sponsorships.
The last South African open, where an Indian athlete gave a tough fight against IMMAF no. 1
Sweden was just a beginning. India has around 100+ known MMA training centres, many of
which are sourcing trainers from abroad. Good training the main purpose for which people
used to travel abroad is now made available in India. As an association, AIMMAA is backing
the sports to get recognition. With the pace and development happening in India the days are
not far when Indian MMA will make a place at landmark at world level.
Saad Khayyom, Director of FitPro (the co-organizer): The event's massive success in
terms of participation and quality of the tournament was FitPro's primary goal and we are
pleased to have achieved that. We have now planned for further tournaments and events not
just in MMA, but specifically Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Also, we're launching training
programs to be conducted in the North-East and across India, by renowned national and
international coaches and athletes.
Samuel Lalrozma, National Amateur Referee Commission Chairman: There was a
time when I searched for MMA on the internet and the only place was Tigers gym Nashik, in
the early 2000s. We travelled there, trained there, fogught in small gym wars. I could never
have imagined India would have developed so much. On the technical aspect also, working
under seniors like Alan sir, with one of my best colleague Mr. Prasad who is one of the most
expereiced judge in the country has boosted my morale higher. Talent goes to waste if it is
not harnessed, and I have seen leaders, coaches, state heads coming up to support poor
talented fighters. Even though the pioneer of MMA and commissioner of AIMMAA Mr. Daniel
was not present for the event, his guidance has made his dream an the dreams of many a
success. With the support og the media and the public, plus the govt. This sport will surely
take India to higher places soon.
