Foundation Of Martial Arts

The above-mentioned Foundation has recently been founded in order to contribute, and support Martial Arts Institutes/Centres and their members in various forms and ways such as financially supporting their activities, and help them to develop themselves to a higher level.

In order to make it possible, and to achieve these goal(s), a unique way of budget providing has been brought into life. Specially manufactured handmade, and unique (numbered, and certified) Litho graphic's of Dutch Martial artists concerning present and former world champions and/or Olympic medallists in a limited edition of 100 specimens.

These Litho graphics, all guaranteed, certified and signed, are to be seen as collector's items. Besides of that, the major aim is to supply a growing market by producing new collections twice every year.

A unique idea has now taken form into a combination of a Martial arts event (Muay Thai Gala), with an Art exhibition. The Lythographic's will be on display and presented by the artist who has created them. They can be purchased at the event, or through the Internet site www.nightofthegladiators.nl, on March 4th at the DUDOK Arena, Sport Park 1 at Hilversum the Netherlands. The event is organised by OZEKI promotions, founder of the Foundation.

The Foundation of Martial Arts can be approached by sports organisations who do not have the financial means of support to purchase basic needs such as training equipment for their members, and or to be able with financial support to send out talented member(s) to training cessions in countries such as: Thailand, China, Japan for a period of time. Another form of support could be achieved in organising workshops for youth members of various sports clubs to be informed, and trained by noted Dutch world champions.

The Foundation of Martial Arts is proud to have achieved a partnership with artist Marjolijn Bos living at Huissen the Netherlands. By her hand these unique Litho graphics are made.

Besides of an impressive list of famous national and international fighters to compete at the event: Night of the Gladiators on March 4th, all the champions who have gladly given their support to make it possible to create an impressive and unique Martial Arts collection will be guests of honour. The event can be worldwide seen live through the Internet site www.nightofthegladiators.nl

A sincere word of gratitude is directed to all those who have given their support to help us, and to make us able to achieve our future goals and to contribute in our mission!

Initiators of the Foundation are: John and Simone Benner of OZEKI Promotions, Daniël Stalpaert straat 17, 1333 NA Almere The Netherlands.
