Considering that meditation has been in martial arts for centuries, Amatto spoke about Romania’s participation in Euro 2024 and how players can improve their performance through overcoming fears and mental coaching. “It is known that Ibrahimovic did taekwondo. Djokovic when he gets to the locker room hits the palmar to de-stress and get out of the rhythm. I would quantify the performance that Romania achieved at the Euro in emulation in terms of the people. We have to leave with this spirit of belonging to something, of identity. Putting results first creates unnecessary and counterproductive pressure. The national one coagulated the Romanian people. Our mentality is not one of winners“, said the coach of the national kempo team.
SRI, SIE, DIE get their juice from combat sports practitioners
In Romania, there are approximately 10,000 licensed athletes and 40,000 kempo practitioners. The fields of protection or military, to protect Romania, Gendarmerie, SRI, SIE, DIE, draw their essence from the practitioners of combat sports, says Amatto, who is a multiple European and world champion in kempo and the first Romanian to reach the world leadership of of Mixed Martial Arts (Vice President for Europe).
We hope to win 8 medals at the Paris Olympics
Amatto is also a member of the Executive Committee of COSR, the pioneer of mixed martial arts in Romania and the first to organize televised galas. “It would be sensational for the Romanian delegation to win 8 medals at the Olympic Games in Paris“.
The official point of view related to the accusations brought by Daniel Ghiță
Amatto Zaharia presented in the podcast a video in which he presented his elegant point of view related to the accusations brought by Daniel Ghiță.
“I want to make it clear from the beginning of this discussion that I apologize to Daniel Ghiță and his family. A month and a half ago when I woke up to Daniel Ghiță attacking me, I had no idea why. Because throughout my life I only had words of praise for him… That’s exactly why I had a face-to-face meeting with Florentin Marinescu, who confirmed to me what the plan was, the reasons and why this situation was triggered, which I suspected. In my principles as a man and a man, I will never speak badly of someone’s family, children, wife. I will never speak ill of Daniel Ghiță, who has had a friendship of over 20 years with most of the guys he talks about in the last 6 weeks, guys who considered him part of the family two decades ago. .. Including for the retirement match Daniel Ghiță prepared in the kempo halls and for other matches he trained in our halls. And his retirement match was organized by Colosseum Tournament in partnership with FR Kempo…. How could I ever talk bad about a man my boys considered family. Couldn’t I do that?“, is part of the recording posted on kempo’s Facebook page.
