Two-time world sambo champion Nji Mouluh Seidou is preparing to defend his title at the 49th World Sambo Championship in Kazakhstan from November 8 to 10. The Cameroonian champion has undergone a demanding training program, including an internal training camp focused on technical basics and an external training camp to face various fighting styles. \u201cEach competition is unique,\u201d \u200b\u200bhe emphasizes, explaining that strategic adjustments are necessary to stay at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aware of his position as \u201cthe man to beat,\u201d Seidou approaches this competition with renewed intensity. \u201cRemaining champion requires constant questioning,\u201d he says. For him, sambo is not just a sport; it is a complex art that requires both physical and mental balance. His constant search for this balance is what he hopes will make the difference in his quest for another gold medal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seidou\u2019s main goal, both for himself and for the Cameroonian team, is to win as many gold medals as possible. For them, it is not just a matter of personal success, but of national pride. \u201cAs President Paul Biya has said, it is about making Cameroon shine,\u201d he says. Their mission in Kazakhstan is to put Cameroon in the global sambo spotlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sambo is growing rapidly in popularity in Africa, and Cameroon is one of the main players. Seidou acknowledges the government’s efforts to promote the sport, particularly through international competitions. “Sambo is much more than a combat sport: it instills discipline and responsibility,” he explains. To attract more young people, he encourages the development of awareness programs, as he sees sambo as a sport of the future for the African continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A two-time world champion, Seidou is also thinking about the future. With his experience as a martial arts teacher and international coach trainer, he is also a consultant in several countries. In 2023, he was honored as a \u201cliving legend of sambo\u201d by Russian President Vladimir Putin, a recognition that strengthens his determination to pass on his expertise and promote sambo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nji Mouluh Seidou is not just defending his title; he embodies the spirit of sambo and inspires African youth. His journey and ambitions for Cameroon demonstrate an unwavering determination to make history in the sport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
