Mosupiemang’s ambitious karate journey :: Mmegi Online

‘A gutsy performer’ aptly sums up rising karate star, Gofaone Quinton Mosupiemang, who has made a name for himself as a colourful character in the game.

Mosupiemang’s rapid rise in karate began in 2009 in Gantsi and has now come full circle, as he sets his sights on the 2025 World Karate Championships — the highest level of competition organised by the World Karate Federation (WKF). The tournament will be held in Egypt in November. Mosupiemang is known for his elaborate celebrations whenever he hits the target during a fight. He told MmegiSport that he grew up watching martial arts movies and that led him to becoming a karateka. “I started training in karate in 2009 at Itekeng Junior Secondary School in Gantsi. In 2010, I relocated to Gaborone, unfortunately I had to take a break because there was no karate at Mogoditshane Junior Secondary School when I was doing Form 1. I got back to training when I was doing Form 2, when karate was introduced by JKA Botswana chief instructor, Sensei Solly Nageng,” he said.
