Kofukan wins as Hayashi-ha cries foul

Botswana Kofukan Federation (BKF) proved its claim that it has the best karatekas around on Saturday when its clubs dominated the national championships organised by the umbrella body, the Botswana Karate Association (BOKA).

Ahead of the tournament, BKF had been involved in an argument with Hayashi-ha about which style has the better karatekas.

After the competition, BKF spokesperson, Bose Caiphus said that his style accomplished what it had set out to achieve. On the other hand, Hayashi-ha was left licking its wounds and complaining about biased officiating following BKF clubs' domination of the Saturday event starting with the male team kumite. The first three positions in the category were taken by BKF clubs from Sir Seretse Khama Barracks, Glen Valley and Kagiso who tied with Shotokan's Dojo 20 in third spot. BKF's bitter rivals, Hayashi-ha, only won in the male team kata followed by UB Shotokan. BKF's Kagiso and Gaborone West (G-West) were joint third. BKF's Special Support Group (SSG) side won the female team kata and team kumite.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
