Lydenburg karatekas earn black belts

The Sasori Bujutsu Dojo, a karate club in Lydenburg, congratulated their two newest senseis on achieving their first dance.

It was a long weekend of testing and training, but on June 30th Rayhan Suliman and Ankia van Niekerk passed their black belt exams at the Tokon Shotokan Karate Club headquarters in Rustenburg, under the guidance of Kancho Albert Venter.

Sensei Amandus Vermeulen, owner of the dojo, said after the event that this achievement shows that the club is on the right track.

“Seeing our members climb the ladder in the sport is a great achievement for us and also an encouragement to other karatekas. Our club members train with exceptional energy and it is clear that their efforts are paying off. Our community has every reason to be proud of these great athletes,” he said.

Interested parties who want to join Sasori Bujutsu Dojo can contact Vermeulen on 060 778 2585. This club is expected to organize the Sasori Bujutsu Championship on August 10.
