GET TO KNOW YOUR SENIORS
You have seen him in the Dojo and have
probably been impressed by his athletic and
karate abilities, but because you do not
train in the same class, you have not had
the opportunity to chat with and get to know
more of Coenraad Sempai.
Since joining our Dojo and affiliating with
WSKF, Coenraad (or Coenies to the seniors)
has had a very positive influence. We look
forward to the next couple of years that
Coenraad will train with us and be part of
our Dojo Kazoku.
Here are some interesting facts about
Coenies.

Where do you see you karate career in
five years?
In five years I see myself focusing more on
the traditional side of karate and bettering
that aspect of my karate. I would also like
to still be competing and maybe also do some
coaching by that time.
Why would you recommend karate as a life
long sport/activity?
I would strongly recommend karate as a
lifelong sport. Karate has played a massive
role in my life, it is not just a sport, it
is also a lifestyle. From a young age karate
taught me discipline, etiquette, respect and
so much more and karate helped me become the
person I am today. I personally think karate
is great for everyone, apart from the great
physical benefits, being part of a Dojo is
like having a second family, or for me it is
a home away from home.
