Dudokai Fhotokan Karate Dojo was recently opened at Centre, Tsakani by Sensei Mandla Mnisi who has been practicing karate for the past 20 years.
He has taken nine youngsters as his karateka and he hopes to mould them into young men/women who will be disciplined and courageous.
“Growing up, I was involved in fights a lot. When I was introduced to karate, I learned that I can channel my physical strength in a positive way. Karate not only teaches discipline but it builds character,” Mnisi said.
He encourages parents to enrol their children in karate classes to improve their physical and mental strength.

Classes are held from 07:30 to 08:00 and 17:30 to 19:30 for adults. For learners, the classes operate at 16:00 to 17:30.
