URICK NAIDOO and our PROTEA coach sensei BRANDO well done!!!
CONGRATS TO OUR SKISA ISIPINGO KZN CAP URICK NAIDOO ON WINNING THE KSA NATIONAL ALL STYLES TITLE 2011
According to our Protea coach your performance was brilliant as you went on demolishing all opposition to be crowned SA all styles champ.
SKISA salutes you for flying our flags high in Cape Town!!!! well done we are proud of you.
To Tahira our wonder girl from SKISA Tongaat your winning a Silver medal is an outstanding achievement indeed especially with this being the first time you fought on the biggest stage in South Africa "THE NATIONALS"
Keep it up !!! and you will soon be a champion !!
In addition may i pay glowing tribute to all our SKISA KZN caps who represented our organisation and province at the KSA all styles nationals you did us proud by fighting the fight.
Remember as i always say everytime you fight in a tournament you win a new experience
Moreover note that every tournament is different from the other with new opponents and these experiences such as this wk ends KSA nationals in Cape Town will prove invaluable on the way forward as you meet the challenges in the tournament arena around the world.
May i also express my sincere appreciation to the many parents who travelled with their children to give them ( besides financial )moral support that i believe is of utmost importance at events such as the nationals
Keep supporting your children parents believe me as SKISA and its chief coach has always proven "THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL" (how many tournaments has URICK participated in before winning the title on saturday 1st oct ?? min of 5 Nationals perhaps )
Finally a big thank you to our manager Sensei Bradley and Protea Coach Sensei Brando who voluntarily (at their own cost) served our children at the nationals in Cape Town.
