Six of the clubs students, who were newer to karate and wanted to test their skills in a tournament style showcase, competed in the ‘unofficial’ friendly division of the tournament. Some were awarded awarded certificates and trophies for their performance.

“I am extremely proud of my student’s performance, of which they have shown great dedication throughout the year. Thomas Moore were incredibly great hosts and it was such an honour to be afforded the opportunity to use their state-of-the-art iKhwezi Indoor Sports Centre,” said Sensei Michael Thompson.
