Shihan Mashinini also focused on building endurance and well-balanced mind and body, through training in kata and fighting techniques.
The training session was honoured to be graced with the presence of Shihan Isaac Mashinini and other dojos from outside Gauteng province such as the Klerksdorp team from North West Province. The kata training was opened by the organizers and the host Sensei Humbulani Mphuma (Chairperson: WKO Shinkyokushinkai Gauteng PEC, 3rd dan), Sempai Costa Mudekereza (Chairperson: TUT Pretoria campus karate club) and Kohai Sihle Gqadu (Secretary: WKO Shinkyokushinkai Gauteng PEC).

Gauteng PEC would like to appreciate the presence of all senior instructors from various dojos. The organizers and Shihan Mashinini wished all karatekas well in their preparations for their upcoming kyu and dan examinations.
