The Goju Karate Academy (GKA) in Parkrand made a clean sweep at the World Union of Karate-Do Federation’s (WUKF) South Africa regional tournament.
The event, which was held in Pretoria, saw 12 dojos competing at such a prestigious tournament for the first time in two years.
GKA boasted with 48 athletes participating and scooped 73 medals – 22 gold, 22 silver and 29 bronze in both the kata and kumite events.
“This was a great experience for our members who are training for the WUKF South African Nationals at the end of March in Port Elizabeth,” said Tarryn Madgwick of GKA.
GKA athletes will also be taking part in the Goju Ryu World Championships in Italy later this year.
