According to Soke Henri Eksteen 10th Dan, owner and chief organiser of the event, the tourney was one of the best championhips he has hosted to date within the Battle in the Bush National invitational all styles contact karate championship series. He said the tournament attracted 70 karatekas and they all did exceptionally well with participants receiving medals.
He thanked all the table officials, medical crew, referees, judges, all karatekas, parents as well as all spectators for making the day a huge success. Eksteen’s warriors will now prepare themselves for the forthcoming Limpopo Karate Federation – Karate South Africa provincial trials scheduled to take place somewhere in February.
