The 40th anniversary of the start of Spirit Combat in the Maltese Islands is to be celebrated at an event hosted by the Sports and Aquatics Pavilion in Gozo, with international guests who will lead various demonstrations and learning sessions throughout the weekend.

Minister for Gozo and Planning Clint Camilleri said that this seminar, which will be spread over two days between Friday, the 17th, and Saturday, the 18th of October, will be open to the entire public from children to the elderly.

He went on to explain how the event will attract both martial arts enthusiasts and people of all ages who wish to go and introduce themselves to these disciplines.

The international guests will be Silvio Simac Actor and World Champion, Bill Cox Chief Representative of Spirit Combat International and Garry Wilson Chief Representative for Scotland.

The event organisers Kancho Adrian Axisa, Representative for Malta, and Mario Saliba, Representative for Gozo thanked the Ministry for Gozo and Planning for their assistance in making this seminar possible in Gozo.

“It is gratifying that as soon as the Sports and Aquatic Pavilion was opened, interest in hosting sporting events with international guests immediately began to be shown,” said the Minister. “Not only have we already started attracting international athletes, but as we promised, this state-of-the-art complex is being enjoyed by the entire population.”

Minister Clint Camilleri concluded by inviting everyone, both those enthusiastic about martial arts and anyone who wishes to learn more and try these disciplines, to visit the Sports and Aquatics Pavilion for the event.
