Brandon secured the team position for Male U60kg Kumite, Coenraad for Male Team Kumite and Wenette for Female Kata. All three athletes have been WSKF members from a young age and have continued to train at the relevant WSKF dojo’s across South Africa as they relocated for their studies. Brandon is a student at North West University in Potchefstroom and is currently completing his BCom Economics and International Trade degree.
