THE International Federation of Karate Zimbabwe recently held their annual dan grading from first dan up to third dan in Kambuzuma, Harare. The event was graced by several karatekas and saw 12-year-old Jean-Claude Mufundisi making history by becoming the youngest fighter to be upgraded from first kyu brown belt to first dan black belt.
Mufundisi was joined at the podium by Gabriel Mukombero and Farai Munyoro in that category. Edmond Munyukwi together with Blessing Chakandinakira moved from first dan to second dan. Also in attendance was Farai "Kancho" Gosha who improved to Sandan. IFKZ president, Sensei Tawanda Mufundisi, said they also took the opportunity to honour veteran karate practitioner Charles "Master" Sambare Arufandika who he said is rated highly in the sport.
