Côte d’Ivoire celebrates as its Ambassador to Nigeria, His Excellency, Traore Kalilou was honoured with an award for his outstanding support on the success of Team Tongilmoodo Nigeria.
The Ambassador was decorated with an International Gold Medal and Award following his support for Team Tongilmoodo Nigeria, a unified martial arts group that had a brilliant performance during the World Martial Arts Competition held in Mombasa Kenya in December last year.
Though the competition was held last year, the organization deemed it fit to honour the Ambassador this year in appreciation and as an encouragement to do more.
The Tongilmoodo Team composed of 4 athletes (3 males and 1 female) represented Nigeria during the international open martial arts competition in Kenya in December 2021. The Team won 8 medals (1 Gold, 3 silvers, and 4 bronzes) and emerged the 8th position worldwide behind Kenya, Philippines, DRC-Zambia, South Korea, and Japan.
Tong Il Lo as unified martial arts is a means of self-defense against any kind of armed or unarmed assault such as rape, molestation, and other forms of physical abuse. It is worthy to note that Tongilmoodo is a way of building sound character, teaching discipline and self-control.
There is a high need for practicing Tong Il Lo because violence is a serious widespread issue generally, especially against women in Nigeria and other parts of the world.
Tong Il Lo training equips trainees especially women who practice the art with effective psychological, emotional and physical skills to protect themselves and their loved ones from domestic and social intimidation, harassment, assault, or rape.
