Mostly made up of young lads and youths from Enga Province, Enga Combat Kickboxing Club is the new club on the block that is producing some strong fighters. The team who is newly established with IPA Certificate still in process, has set a record for itself winning 3 major Kick boxing tournaments this year. Registering their latest winnings just late last month on 23rd September 2023 at the Kickboxing Showdown, raising of the champion at Bomana CIS Hall where 15 of their fighters took part, registering 13 wins and 2 losses resulting in Enga Combat Kickboxing Club winning the Cup for the Raising of the Champion Kickboxing Showdown. President Mr. Nelson Walen stated that the club is growing with more boys showing interest in Kickboxing and more boys putting and showing commitment in the sports. “We are Port Moresby Based Enga club, and this club is created for Enga youths, purposely to take them off from tribal fights, bad habits and give them a better chance in life.” Mr Walen said more and more youths are involving in tribal fights back home, and more and more are killed every day, and it is a sad that most do not get to reach their 30s or even travel to Port Moresby. “That is why Enga Combat Kickboxing Club is now on a mission to bring Kick boxing home and we want to try and use these sports to change the mindset of our youths at home.” However, the only problem right faced by the club is they do not have any sponsors; they have been keeping the club going, taking part in tournaments all from their own pockets. “We need sponsors to come on board and support us.” “We have plans to go home and run tournaments and run awareness, but someone has to push us.” “We are calling on our good Governor Peter Ipatas and all our local members and business elites of Enga to support us, and together we can change youths in Enga.” The club still needs to get its IPA Certificate which is in the process and they also need sponsors to come on board to support these fighters and also help the club. Walen is calling on all the youths in Enga Province including youths throughout the country, to throw away the knives, guns, stop killing, stop robbing and stop all bad habits and take up sports. “Put your fist up and fight in a ring where you get recognition, where you win money, where you can travel places and countries instead of wasting your life away, this is my challenge to all the youths.”
