Blade Shotokan Karate Club makes early mark on regional stage

What started as an extension of his holistic health philosophy has quickly become a beacon of disciplined training and youth development. And already, the fledgling club is punching well above its weight.

In just its second competitive outing, Blade Shotokan is making waves on the regional martial arts scene. The club recently took part in the Winter Challenge Karate Championship in Christiana - a highly anticipated event hosted by Teemane Karate Club that drew skilled karateka from across the province and neighbouring areas.

A determined squad of 21 athletes represented Blade Shotokan at the tournament. Showing grit, focus and composure under pressure, they racked up an impressive total of 32 medals - 14 golds, 10 silvers and eight bronzes.
