The course starts on Sunday while the Dubai Open Karate Premier League is scheduled for Al Wasi Club from February 16 to 18, 2018. The premier league event was launched in 2011, and there are seven circuit events held in Paris, Dubai, Rotterdam, Rabat, Istanbul, Berlin and Tokyo, as part of the build up to the Dubai main competition.
Rakgampu is attending the WKF premier league event together with Sensei Union Kgafela and Shihan Mpho Bakwadi. Rakgampu told Mmegi Sport that Botswana Karate Association (BOKA) assisted him with travel costs but he will pay for accommodation and course fees. Rakgampu said he has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
