The New World Shotokan (NWS) Karate – The Benoni dojo graded three karatekas to dan grades after a week of intense training at their first Vasbyt/Perseverance gashuku after the Covid-19 pandemic.
The backbone of the NWS Benoni dojo: Sensei Janien Potgieter , senpai Dylan Treacher , senpai James Steyl , sensei John Barnett , sensei Chris Martin and sensei Lusinda Underhay .
“Karatekas, their families and those interested in karate know that achieving a black belt requires discipline, respect, endeavour, good character, and perseverance,” said the chief instructor and eighth dan sensei, John Barnett. For Steyl, no amount of blood, sweat, bruises or sprained joints could beat the friendships he has gained and the fun that comes with the sport.“I commend the teachings and wisdom of my senseis. A black belt is merely the beginning.”
“Thankfully, all the guidance from my senseis and the support from my parents helped me. I will be forever grateful that I made it this far.
