The Várzea Grande, MT, City Hall declares its support for the Filam MFC 2027 event.
Mayor Flavia Morett has formalized the Várzea Grande municipal government’s support for FILAM MFC 2027, a major international martial arts event to be held in the city. The initiative is considered highly significant, particularly for the municipality’s youth and the general population. “It is a joy to support an event that values sports, discipline, and our young people. FILAM MFC 2027 will place Várzea Grande on the international sports stage and bring many benefits to our community,” highlighted Mayor Flavia Morett. The event is scheduled to take place at the Fiotão Gymnasium, bringing together athletes from various countries to compete for official championship belts in the *Lutan* martial art. The competition is expected to foster social integration, encourage participation in sports, and boost local tourism. For Master Salvador Domingos, the creator of *Lutan* and organizer of the event, this support is essential: “Having the backing of the municipal government is a milestone for us. It shows that Várzea Grande believes in sports as a tool for social transformation. Together, we will host a historic event!” Hosting FILAM MFC 2027 reinforces the municipal administration’s commitment to the development of sports and the promotion of activities that benefit young people and the entire community.
Originally from Angola, he left his home country and crossed the ocean to Brazil, driven by a desire to learn about and delve deeper into Lutan—a Brazilian martial art created by Mestre Salvador Domingos dos Anjos. He did not come merely to train; he came to forge a path, honoring the teachings, values, and philosophy that give meaning to this discipline.
Through years of rigorous training, setbacks, and personal triumphs, Eduardo dedicated himself heart and soul. He learned more than just technique; he embraced discipline, respect for others, humility, and the sense of responsibility that every Lutan black belt must embody.
Then came the long-awaited day: the graduation ceremony. There, in the presence of everyone, he received his black belt directly from the hands of his mentor—the creator of Lutan, Mestre Salvador. In that moment, it was more than just a piece of black fabric; it was recognition for all his hard work, a testament to his master’s trust, and a commitment to bring Lutan back to his own people in Angola.
Back in his homeland, Professor Eduardo Panzo did not stop there. He organized the first official Lutan match—as well as the first “Beach Lutan” event—on Angolan soil, opening doors for many young people in his country to discover this martial art. Today, he stands as a symbol: he demonstrates that martial arts know no borders, that dreams can span oceans, and that Lutan unites people from different lands along a shared path of personal growth. His example serves as an inspiration to athletes, young people, and everyone who believes that persistence has the power to transform lives. 🇦🇴 🇧🇷🏆
