“The aim of bringing this taekwondo legend to South Africa is to equip our taekwondo practitioners with advanced sparring techniques for point stop and continuous sparring.”
Magagula added that the seminar is the ideal way to prepare local taekwondo practitioners for next year’s Arnold Africa Classic and the 2021 world championships.
“We are expecting taekwondo practitioners from as far afield as Mozambique, Lesotho and Zambia to join us as Vice imparts his knowledge and skill.”
