🥋Throwback to Togo Aneho, 1988 🇹🇬

A treasured moment from the 1988 Independence Day Celebration in Aneho, Togo, where our team proudly showcased the beauty, discipline, and spirit of traditional karate before a large and enthusiastic crowd.

The first photo captures our young karatekas demonstrating precision, confidence, and the values of traditional karate through their kata and techniques.

The second photo features Karate Legend Kodjo Akpalu in one of the day's most unforgettable demonstrations, using his head to break a concrete block. It was a powerful display of courage, focus, discipline, and years of dedicated training that left the audience amazed.

These historic moments remind us of the rich legacy of traditional karate and the pioneers whose dedication helped inspire generations of karate practitioners.

We proudly honor Karate Legend Kodjo Akpalu and all those who contributed to making this demonstration a memorable part of the 1988 Independence Day celebrations.

Were you there in Aneho in 1988? We'd love to hear your memories in the comments!
