Open Day
As Usual, our Sensei ALWAYS stresses
about open day, but contrary to his
fears, it turned out to be a huge success.
So many of our students offered their
assistance, and we had quite a few
visitors as well.
It went like a smooth machine with all
our Karatekas giving their best
performance and wowing the audience
with their moves.
Thank you to everyone, from students,
parents, SO martial Shop run by a very
proficient Sandy and our ever popular
snoepie run by Piet and his gang.

Karate is divided into style organizations. Organizations hold competitions (tournaments) from local to international level.
Tournaments are designed to match members of opposing schools or styles against one another in kata, sparring and
weapons demonstration. They are often separated by age, rank and sex with potentially different rules or standards based on
these factors. The tournament may be exclusively for members of a particular style (closed) or one in which any martial artist
from any style may participate within the rules of the tournament (open).
The World Karate Federation (WKF) is the largest sport karate organization and is recognized by the International Olympic
Committee (IOC) as being responsible for karate competition in the Olympic Games.The WKF has developed common rules
governing all styles. The national WKF organizations coordinate with their respective National Olympic Committees.
WKF karate competition has two disciplines: sparring (kumite) and forms (kata). Competitors may enter either as individuals
or as part of a team. Evaluation for kata and kobudō is performed by a panel of judges, whereas sparring is judged by a head
referee, usually with assistant referees at the side of the sparring area. Sparring matches are typically divided by weight, age,
gender, and experience.
WKF only allows membership through one national organization/federation per country to which clubs may join. In South
Africa that will be KSA—Karate South Africa
KARATE SOUTH AFRICA (KSA)

The JKA emerged from karate clubs at Japanese universities located in the Tokyo region. . Takushoku University always kept
strong ties with the JKA, being the alma mater of many of the senior JKA instructors, such as Nakayama, Nishiyama, Okazaki,
Asai, Kanazawa, and Enoeda, who were responsible for the JKA's consolidation during the 1960s and 1970s.
The JKA Shotokan approach is also based on Funakoshi's karate, but with significant adaptations introduced mostly by
Nakayama, who was JKA chief instructor until his death in 1987. Under Nakayama's leadership, a generation of respected
instructors spread karate worldwide, guided from the JKA's headquarters in Tokyo. Our Main instructor currently is Sensei
Stan Schmidt and Technical Director is Sensei Johan le Grange.
