Kickboxing athlete from Maraba receives support to participate in the National Championship

Always striving to promote sports and culture, SINOBRAS has been supporting projects and initiatives in the state of Pará. Following its support for the Military Police's Jiu-Jitsu Educational Project, the company is sponsoring athlete Jhonny Yori, one of the project's participants, who will represent the state in the 30th Brazilian Kickboxing Championship. The competition will take place from September 4th to 7th in Rio de Janeiro.

Jhonny Yori began training kickboxing in early 2020, with limited resources due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which restricted the movement of people and the opening of businesses. However, even training at home with the help of friends, he became a standout in the sport and is now preparing for his first national tournament. "The sport has improved my quality of life. Besides helping with physical, mental, and aesthetic conditioning, it gave me a purpose in life. I enrolled in college to study Physical Education and began to teach people the importance of sports," he commented.

Jhonny talks about his expectations of participating in a championship for the first time. "Participating in a national competition is the realization of a dream for every martial artist. Stepping into a ring and, regardless of the result, knowing you're a winner just by being there. If more companies had this initiative, I'm sure the doors would open for other sports enthusiasts. We need this support," the fighter emphasizes.
