Aung La N Sang<\/span> has declared his intent to \u201cgive back\u201d to his country of Myanmar, unveiling plans for a martial arts academy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s something I want to bring to Myanmar one day,\u201d said Aung La, who was immortalized with a bronze statue at Kachin National Manau Park in his hometown of Myitkyina recently.\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI want to have kids\u2019 classes where the little ones can train, learn martial arts, learn to defend themselves and be a better person.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Aung La revealed that the academy is still in the \u201cplanning phase\u201d, but\u00a0<\/span>the ONE Championship middleweight and light heavyweight king is\u00a0<\/span>determined to create something that will have the \u201cgreatest impact\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

He is also in the process of finding the right business partners to take the academy forward.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI want to give back to the sport and give back to the country,\u201d said Aung La, who will defend his middleweight<\/a> title against Ken Hasegawa of Japan at <\/span>ONE: A New Era<\/span><\/a> i<\/span>n Tokyo on 31 March.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe country that I was born in\u2026 I owe them a lot. My career is where it is at this point because of the support I\u2019m getting from my people. It\u2019s the one thing that I can always think about when I\u2019m training that gives me inspiration and it makes me want to keep working hard. Without their support, I don\u2019t know if I wouldn\u2019t be here, but it would be a lot tougher.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Aung La N Sang says the people of Myanmar are a continuing source of inspiration for him.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so easy for me to wake up in the morning knowing the support I\u2019m getting,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s got me fired up to get to training and get better. And for them to take me to this point in my career, I owe it to them. We don\u2019t have anyone in my country that has done well in any sport, so for me to come back and do this for them and see kids grow into champions and be able to perform at the pinnacle of the sport would be amazing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
