The leader in the karate pack

After ten years of hard work and dedication, it is not difficult to see why the Morgan Moss Karate Sports Academy rises above the rest.

The club, also known as the Wildcats, recently boasted with a total of four new black belts. Its list of achievements in 2014 is very impressive.

Leader of the Wildcats and dojo, Morgan Moss holds an honours degree in Sports Science, a degree in Child and Family Psychology as well as a degree in Sports Psychology.

This sensei is extremely proud of the club’s 108 achievements in 2014. Members from the ages of four to 50 join him every week to practice the art of karate.

Last year the Wildcats had a total of 52 members who represented the West Rand region team, 39 were in the Gauteng provincial team, 11 made it all the way to the South African national team and six members qualified for the senior national squad. Morgan himself also had a successful year as he was named the national captain of the SA Karate team and South African Athlete of the Year in karate.
