-

As part of its Corporate Social Responsibi­lity, CSR, upcoming telecommun­ication outfit, Mobility Arts Nigeria Limited is organising a martial arts competitio­n, tagged-Clash of Gladiators, slated for Suki, FESTAC Town in Lagos.

In a chat with the CEO of Mobility Arts, George Ager, he said he was involved in martial arts as a kid and understand­s its benefits to mankind, which was one of the reasons for today’s event.

“Growing up, I was very much involved in martial arts and it has in no small measure helped in shaping my life to be able to do things that ordinarily I would not have be able to do. My only regret was not continuing with it when I got to the university,” Ager said.

Continuing he said, “aside from the fact that the sport makes one look younger even at old age, those involved in martial arts are always very focused and go for their target no matter the obstacle before them.”

84 kids within the ages of five and 12 years within Amuwo Odofin and its environs are expected to participat­e in the Clash of Gladiators, which is being powered by Jodan Prolific Martial Arts Academy.

Various prizes have been lined up for winners in different categories. The first prize would attract a trophy and N30,000 while the second and third place winners would cart away N15,000 and N10,000 worth of airtime respective­ly.

According to the founder of Mobility Arts, after today’s event, the company would be looking in the direction of some dying and relegated sports like volleyball, which has been relegated to secondary schools.
