The ninth degree black belt practitioner revealed that the Africans will spend one month in Guyana where there will train for 21 days with four hours a session.

Massiah, who is a six-time Martial Arts Hall-of-Fame inductee, said that the new students are both professional fighters (MMA) and instructors who intend to not only teach self-defence back home but to commericialise the system as well.

The Maxido self-defence system, according to Massiah, is a no-nonsense system that is taught to vulnerable people and security personnel mostly, to apply breakage and dislocation in under four seconds. This, he believes, can be very extremely useful in the popular MMA professional fighting leagues.

Massiah, who is also the President of the Chinese Martial Arts Federation in Guyana, expressed his happiness with the traction his Maxido system is getting and noted that his vision is to have the system be known throughout all the corners of the world.
