 President of the Pan-American Mixed Martial Arts Federation, Jason Fraser, paid a courtesy visit to Minister Responsible for Youth Development and Sports, the Honourable Kenson Kasme, Thursday morning, to discuss a range of issues, including the Pan-American Games, an international event happening in Trinidad and Tobago in July, and to lend support to the San Nusha Mixed Martial Arts Federation. Fraser was accompanied by President of the San Nusha Mixed Martial Arts Federation, Louis-Andre Murray. During the visit, Mr Fraser presented over 3,000 U.S. dollars of equipment from the International Federation to assist in the development of the sport on island. We have further bigger things coming forward, we'll be sending an octagon to San Nusha, the International Federation, who is 50 percent of it, while we look for the corporates in Nusha, the government of San Nusha, the people of San Nusha to find out of 50 percent, so that we can ensure that octagon come home to San Nusha and remain here, which will help develop that. Minister and I discussed a few things, you know the Pan-American Games coming up, the international event that is happening in Trinidad and July 1st, most importantly, the international certification course for coaches in Trinidad along with officials, which will be on June 28th to the 30th year, and then we'll discuss also the first female who will be coming out of San Nusha to compete at that competition. Minister responsible for youth development and sports, Hon. Kenson Kazemi, stated that mixed martial arts is a sport he wants to develop all around the island. Because if you're going to develop the sport, you would need to ensure that you have the basic equipment needed, and of course today we received a quantum of equipment from the president of the Pan-American Federation, and we're very grateful for that. We're definitely going to ensure that our young people get the opportunity to apply to trade and to develop. We also spoke briefly on having a octagon in San Nusha, which will be very critical for the sport, and the government of San Nusha pledged its support for having that we brought into San Nusha, stored in San Nusha, so that we can have competitions and events. Meanwhile, president of the San Nusha Mixed Martial Arts Federation, Louis-Andre Murray, is pleased with the way the sport is progressing in San Nusha. We'll be having an in-house event of local athletes for mixed martial arts. It'll be the first event, and as Mr. Friger said earlier, it's a historic event, because it's the first time we're actually having civilian at the shores of San Nusha. Last year we actually came through with two medals, and we did very, very well. We've been working for the last two years, and the new executive, which I have assisted in building, working towards that. So Mr. Friger came over to visit and to show his support, the support of the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation for our new budding and growing sport in San Nusha. The interested parties say they are working on having San Nusha represented, and this year's Mixed Martial Arts World Championships scheduled for Abu Dhabi in November. From the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports, I'm Ryan O'Brien.
