Sisters Rose and Pauline Moses of Wowetta Village in the Rupununi region, have created local history by advancing from white to brown belt at their maiden grading exercise which was conducted on April 30, taking them a step closer to their goal of becoming instructors of the discipline.
This achievement was announced in an official correspondence from the Guyana Karate College (GKC). According to the release, “They were training privately for two years under their instructor, Shihan John Fernandes, 7th dan. The close-knit sisters represent all females in Guyana with their achievements. And, as well, the Amerindian community in which they are fiercely proud of their heritage.”
The duo will now join their brothers, Ernie, Silas, and Courtney, who are all International Karate Daigaku (University) black belts, in their bid to administer the discipline throughout Amerindian communities of Guyana.
The release further stated that all five Moses are naturally talented and possess a high degree of strength, speed, form, and spirit. Moreover, it added that they are a family of character, integrity and social graces and they are looking forward to be able to teach karate. Fortuitously, they may soon have their opportunity as the Amerindian Hostel and Orphanage at Liliendaal on the East Coast of Demerara is just next door to the Guyana Karate College. The Moses siblings have begun their training to represent Guyana at the Fourth International Karate Daigaku (IKD) World Cup slated to be held in Guyana in August 2022, the release added.
