Over the past few years Kickboxing in Malta has seen a huge surge in popularity and hundreds of Maltese youths have taken up the sport. Recently “Ying Yang” one of the most successful kickboxing clubs on the Island celebrated its 14^th anniversary.

The Ying Yang Kick Boxing Club was set up in 1996 by Master Noel Mercieca a 4^th Dan Black Belt and is located in the town of Fgura.

If a club’s success is to be measured by its results, than this club would certainly qualify amongst the top in the Maltese islands. Ying Yang athletes have over the past years amassed an impressive amount of titles both on the national and international scene.

Ying Yang is also home to one of the leading Kick Boxers on the island - Daniel “The Jet” Zahra – trained by Master Mercieca - Daniel has fought both as an amateur & semi pro and has won several international tournaments, such as the WKN European and world Championships titles.

The Fgura club is also home to several other international titlists, such as Terence Cilia WKN European Champion 2010, Ruth Tanti WKN World Champion 2009, Stefan Cassar WKN World Champion 2009, Kursten Borg WKN Champion 2009 and several more.
