Punches to fly at kickboxing tournament

The Namibian Kickboxing Federation (NKF) will host the “Tatami Heroes” kickboxing tournament on 26 August at Swakopmund Hotel and Entertainment Centre.The aim of the tournament is to create awareness and promote the sport of kickboxing in Namibia, as well as the athletes. The tournament will see at least 20 bouts, with only kickboxers from the Erongo Region taking part in this edition of the tournament.According to the NKF secretary general, Jackeline Sass, it is the first time the organisation is hosting the “Tatami Heroes” tournament."The focus is on the tatami styles of kickboxing, namely, point fighting, light contact, and forms. All participants must adhere to the WAKO rules for kickboxing."She urged the community to attend the tournament in large numbers."We are going to witness our little ones show incredible spirit, camaraderie, and bravery, and also to educate the public on the beautiful sport of kickboxing. We are planning to host two more events this year."Sass also dismissed the misconception that kickboxing is a violent sport. "With our affiliation with both WAKO and the Olympic Committee, safety is of paramount importance, and violence is not tolerated." – shaldon@erongo.com.na
