A New Champion for italian Martial arts: An Interview with Giulia Quintavalle
The recent Fijlkam election saw a resounding victory for Giovanni Morsiani, signaling a new era for Italian Judo, Wrestling, Karate and Martial Arts.

giulia: Thanks for having me. it’s exciting to see such a surge of interest in Fijlkam’s future.
Moderator: Absolutely! Morsiani’s victory was decisive, securing over 54% of the vote. What are your thoughts on his win and the message it sends to the broader martial arts community in Italy?
Giulia: I think it’s a fantastic reflection of the need for fresh perspectives and a unified vision. Morsiani’s focus on collaboration, especially within the complex FijlKam structure, is crucial. Traditionally, these federations can be somewhat siloed. We saw this reflected in the diverse expertise of the newly elected federal councils. I believe Morsiani’s vision of unified growth is exactly what Fijlkam needs to truly flourish.
Moderator: You mentioned collaboration, and Morsiani himself emphasized its importance in his victory speech. Do you think this will translate into tangible changes, especially regarding the slightly strained relationships between disciplines under the Fijlkam umbrella?
Giulia: I certainly hope so.
It’s no secret that there have been some tensions between, for instance, Judo and Karate in terms of resource allocation and depiction. Morsiani’s commitment to understanding Fijlkam’s internal structure gives me hope. A truly beneficial outcome would be a more equitable distribution of support to nurture all disciplines equally.
moderator: That brings up another critically important point – Morsiani’s stated priority is preparing Fijlkam for the upcoming Olympic cycle. What specific actions do you think he should prioritize to ensure Italian athletes are prepared to compete at the highest level Internationally?
Giulia: Well, adequate funding is paramount. Investing in coaching development programs, providing access to top-tier training facilities, and ensuring athletes have the necessary nutritional and medical support are all essential.
Beyond that, fostering a culture of healthy competition and camaraderie within the Fijlkam ranks is key.
Encouraging athletes across disciplines to train together, share knowledge, and learn from each other can create a highly competitive and supportive environment that ultimately benefits everyone.

Intriguing point about cross-discipline training.
Many martial arts share foundational principles, right?
Could this approach lead to more well-rounded athletes, perhaps blurring the lines between disciplines in the future?
Giulia:
I think that’s a fascinating prospect! We’re already seeing this trend emerge in certain competitions where athletes practice blends of different martial art techniques.
Maybe down the line, we’ll see a new breed of competitors who are truly multi-disciplinary.
