26 October 2024
Ellisras Cansa Relay

Ellisras Dojo Shotokan Karate NSKF took part of this wonderful event and enjoyed it a lot. The Dojo did the Fight Back part for Cansa.

The play was all about training the immune system like soldiers. Then there were cancer cells (black dogi) that attacked the human. There was family (support system) that took the human to the Doctor for a diagnosis. Then there were treatment (white dogi) that had to shield the human and help fight back the cancer cells.

Ellisras Dojo Shotokan Karate NSKF also managed to show the community how training is done at our Dojo.

Thank you to all Karate-Ka, Parents, family and friends who made this day possible.

We also dedicated this day to Chris Sensei's grandson who is a Survivor from Witbank, and to the late Vernon Willer Sensei from East London Karate NSKF.
