The top three winners at the National Championships will have the opportunity to participate in the highly regarded National Karate Federation Championships. Van der Merwe explained the importance of these championships, stating, "We have seen several national team members consistently participating, and we are expecting a high-standard competition. It is crucial for us to rank athletes to determine their readiness for the NKF final championships."

Mark your calendars, as the National Karate Federation Championships are scheduled to take place in October. This event will bring together the best of the best, showcasing the incredible talent and dedication of karate practitioners in Namibia.

The Okinawan GoJu-Ryu Karate Namibia is honored to host these championships and looks forward to providing a platform for karate athletes to demonstrate their skills, passion, and commitment to the art of karate.
