Passerelle Event with MMA

Dear Readers,

We are thrilled to share an exciting collaboration between JCI Quatre Bornes and the world of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). Last week, we had the privilege of organizing a demonstration event in partnership with MMA practitioners and the women at the Passerelle Women Shelter.

The objective of this collaboration was to empower and inspire the women at the shelter through the transformative power of MMA. The event aimed to introduce them to the sport, promote physical fitness, and provide them with practical self-defense techniques to boost their confidence and personal safety.

Under the guidance of experienced MMA trainers, the women at Passerelle Women Shelter participated in a series of workshops and demonstrations. They learned basic striking and self-defense techniques, emphasizing empowerment and practicality. The sessions were designed to instill a sense of strength, resilience, and assertiveness among the participants.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the MMA trainers who generously shared their expertise and time, as well as to the staff and volunteers at Passerelle Women Shelter for their cooperation and support.

A special thanks to the Project Director Sudharshinee for her commitment in making this event a success.

We look forward to further collaborations and initiatives that promote empowerment, personal growth, and community engagement. Together, we can create a brighter and more inclusive future for all.
