Good Day Kyoshi

I just wish to express my heartfelt thanks to you and your association for providing a wonderful service to the community. My son Owen Shaik has been with you association from the age of 5.

I attend all the training sessions, the tournaments and the awards days and have been most impressed by the time and effort you put into these functions to ensure that our children receive nothing but the best. This years function was excellent. My entire family was present and they all had compliments.

I was present at your parents meeting yesterday. I am not the outspoken type to voice my view publically, but would like to express my view in this e-mail.

You mentioned yesterday that most parents are unhappy with the finance aspect. I personally don’t agree with any of them. I think most parents fail to see that Karate is not just a sport, it assists our children with so much more than that.

I enrolled my son Owen in Karate because he was not a sociable child. He excelled in his school work, but was very reserved in class. Lets just say, ever since he has been in Karate, I can’t get him to stop talking. He now participates in international examinations, external Mathematics galas and public speeches and activities. He has received several awards for these.

He is not only fit, but he plays other sport in school and he excels in his school work. He even received an award for an 80% aggregate in school last Thursday.

Karate has improved his communication skills, it has made him more attentive and also assists with his concentration. He is a straight “A” student. He is so disciplined and respectful to everyone at home and school. He is a model student and child. I am so proud.

So yes, if this is what Karate does for my child, I personally believe that the money is no object.

So Well Done ! Keep up the excellent work.

Kind regards

Hi Kyoshi,

What a weekend!

Sometimes I a parent in the SKISA org take things for granted, already knowing beforehand that Friday (SKISA AWARDS BANQUET)was going to be spectacular. It was late last night, when we had a few moments at home and re winded on the events, decor, food, ambience , company of amazing people. I personally, admire your attention to detail, and energy to give off, and therefore always appreciate your company, and have the utmost admiration for your organisational skills.

I know there are no other clubs(karate) out there that can host an event like Friday’s . Photo’s don’t do enough justice, one had to be there to appreciate how it all comes together as one amazing evening, that will remain with me forever.

Thank you for all the accolades that has been given to my daughter Priya, and without SKISA none of those achievements would have possible. Going to Morocco for the WKF world champs does not even compare to how special we all felt this weekend at the banquet and brown/black belt technical workshop held on sat/sun

Thank you Kyoshi.

Best Regards,

Vino
