Priya Pillay took gold in the senior individual kumite division.
“This is the result of intense training and dedication where these athletes train six days a week in preparation. I am very proud of their tremendous achievements and thank Sensei Brando Pillay and Hanchi Sonny Pillay for their constant guidance and dedication to the athletes and the sport,” said Sensei Carlos Vilela.
