President of Hueiyen Lallong Thang-Ta Association Huidrom Premkumar will speak on the Manipuri Thang-Ta during the Martial Arts discussion in Changzhou of South Korea which will be participated by 28 countries from around the world.
Huidrom Premkumar will speak on the world of the Manipuri martial art during the General Body Meeting of World Martial Arts Union which will commence from Friday.
Manipuris are proud of Thang-Ta, so a slide show will be presented during the general body meeting to let the world know of its strength and traditional values said Premkumar.
Government of South Korea has provided monetary aid to the World Martial Arts Union, the sponsor of the general body meeting, apart from supporting and encouraged to develop youth, culture, sports and tourism at the same time.
While stating that Thang-Ta has not been able to develop due to lack of co-operation, Premkumar added that it will take no time when Manipuri Thang-Ta becomes a world famous martial art if the State Government keeps a eye on it.
