It
was on a sunny afternoon at United States International University in Nairobi and
the Kenya University Sport Association games were ongoing, of interest is karate.
The Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology Morwins champions are warming up. Not even the scorching sun can stop this outdoor "tatami " game and hinder universities karate players ambition. This are Kenya finest karate team, One
of Kenya top teams formed by their “sensei’s”
cum coach the likes of Sensei Andrew (JKUAT), Nelson (M.K.U) have quickly moved their teams up in university performance, not forgetting the host States karate team led by one of the most experienced Kenya’s
veteran coach Jokyo Maurice Aloo–
(4th Dan)who have shown resilience
performance over the latter year.
Quickly, they have mastered the art of karate-do, they too are in contention for the top spot recognition in the universities karate games. Distinct from the predominant Shotokan style they do Goju-ryu style of karate, I bet one of the ancient style still practiced from the olden days in Okinawa Island. Of interest, is the amount of effort that young upcoming karate players are putting just to ensure their respective universities carry the bragging rights of this event?Even thou Mount Kenya University carried the day but it was a day worth of seeing young energetic karate student in action both in “kumite” and “kata” categories, supported by their coaches.

We
missed to see the likes of few individual whose presence always ignites the
audience. Susan Odera, Dan Auru, Ann
Kabare, Henry among others.They have everything to play for and all their
fans have a big role to play in improving their performance. Their performance
is always awesome, very tactical and with speed. K.U.S.A
team must now shift their attention to Kenya
open and the remaining fixture of the season, after all the Kenya karate
federation body must do everything in its power to make this 2015 a happier season, a unique opportunity for K.K.F to not only self–audit players performance over the preceding year, but also to rouse the new
generation of champions to aspire even higher in the pursuit of a greater karate nation.
