The Guyana Karate College will hold its first ever karate examinations on Tuesday at the National Gymnasium, Mandela Avenue from 1700hrs (5:00pm).
The College, which is also an affiliate member of the Caribbean Karate College, (CKC) had opened its doors to persons who were desirous of learning the sport last November and, according to Master Frank Woon-a–Tai, the response has been good.
Master Woon-a-Tai, who paid a courtesy call on this newspaper yesterday said the examination will be conducted under his guidance.
Woon-a-Tai said that land has been promised to them by the government for the erection of a building to house the GKC.
“Presently we are using the Gymnasium on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 1700-1900 hrs for our classes,” said Master Woon-a-Tai.
Twenty five (25) karatekas will be examined by Master Woon-a-Tai with the successful ones being outfitted with the yellow belt whilst those who put in exemplary performances can find themselves being awarded the orange belt. Immediately after the examinations, an open house will be held during which enrolment for the next class which will see its examinations being done in July will be held right at the venue.
