Exclusive Interview with Champion of Asia

Q: Congratulations, Mansoor! You are the first UAE national who won IFMA Asian Champion Title. How can you evaluate your performance during the Championship on Kish?

Thank you. As for me IFMA Asian Open Championship 2011 was both easy and tough, and I’ll explain why. On the one hand, I haven’t participate in such international competitions for couple of years, so I was expecting that my opponents will be strong and might even be more skilled. So, that was the tough part. On the other hand, I trained hard to prove myself that I can achieve a lot and that my country can be proud of me. Moreover, I had huge support from Dubai Martial Arts Academy that gave me the opportunity to participate in the Championship as well as from muaythai followers of the UAE. Thus, I was inspired and excited enough, and that was the easy part for me.
