I hope these kinds of things get a great deal of publicity in Pakistan - the youth of the nation must be shown the merit of sport and that sport is more than just Cricket and Field Hockey - lest see if this will mean that greater numbers of boys and girls will get involved in sports such as Martial arts, physical and mental training.

Any video links of the bout?

Well done. Normally I don't rate the asian games much at the international level, but in this field is included the likes of japan and Korea.

Quite an achievement!
