A record field of more than 400 karateka have entered the annual SASKA East Coast Karate Championships (SECKO), which will take place at the Fish River Sun Hotel and Country Club Resort on Saturday, August 4.
Organiser Gary Grapentin believes that the event has grown to be the largest annual karate championship in the Eastern Cape.
“The SECKO Championships at the Fish River Sun Resort has become one of the most popular, most enjoyed and exciting events on the local karate calendar, and this is largely thanks to the great team of people who work behind the scenes.”
A fifth arena has been added this year to cope with demand, and the additional places were “soon filled by karateka eager to compete at the championship”.
Eastern Cape karate legend and SASKA Provincial Style-Head, Sensei Kenny Tawse will be the guest of honour at the Championship, which is now in its sixth year at the Fish River Sun.
Spectators will be charged R20 for adults and R10 for children.
Special accommodation rates are available for competitors and spectators, with only a limited number of rooms left, says Fish River Sun administration manager, Karen Lee.
