Sensei Shaun Miln, said the students had worked hard throughout the year, and he was proud of their achievements.
“Everyone had a lot of fun, which is one of aims along with our training. If it is also fun, and not scary, then the students want to learn and will forget their fears. We also held a prize-giving to show the students and all the other role-players that their efforts are noticed,” he said.
Some of the awards that were handed out included most motivated student, most improved student, KZN senior of the year, KZN junior of the year, and the cup of morals, among others. Miln added there were many benefits of martial arts.
