The Temple of Pierre Mizael Ambatomirahavavy vibrated this weekend to the rhythm of martial arts during the Madagascar Kung Fu Championship. The event was a success, bringing together nine member leagues of the Malagasy Kung-fu Federation and highlighting two main categories including Tao Lu (bare hand) and Kung-fu Light. The Analamanga league distinguished itself by winning three titles, including two in the Kung-fu Light category and one in the Tao Lu. The Vakinankaratra and Amoron’i Mania leagues also shone, each winning two champion titles, while the league Alaotra Mangoro closed the competition by winning the last title. The president of the Malagasy Kung Fu Federation, Grand Master Avoko Rakotoarijaona, played a central role in opening and closing the ceremony. He shared crucial information on the decisions taken at the Ordinary General Meeting (AGM) on Friday, December 15, 2023. Significant changes were announced, including the cancellation of the Si-lou-che grade, as well as the return to the old name, abandoning the “ like that » to become the “ Malagasy Kung Fu Federation “. This decision stems from the federation’s desire to accommodate several styles of Kung Fu, beyond Wisa.
Madagascar’s champions were honored, receiving a chalice and a gold medal, while the runners-up were rewarded with a medal. In recognition of their exceptional performances, the winners and finalists also received a gift from the Malagasy Kung-Fu Federation. A highlight was the promise of a Mahajanga holiday in 2024, where this year’s champions will join previous year’s champions for a week of celebration.
