Jeffreys Bay Karate Dojo took part in the 2025 WUKF SA National Championship & Afro-Asia Open from April 3 to April 6 at the Boardwalk Hotel & Convention Centre in Gqeberha.

Not only did the championship consolidate the friendship and camaraderie between WUKF affiliates in South Africa and abroad, but it also served as an excellent showcase event for WUKF Karate in the country.

The championship played a pivotal role in assisting selected athletes in their preparations for the 13th WUKF World Championship, which will take place in Sweden in July 2025.

At least seven students from Jeffreys Bay Karate Dojo participated in the championships.
