Excellence, Prestige, Commitment…
These are just a few choice words to describe this event and the athletes who were commended for all their hard work throughout 2024/2025!
The GKF Awards and Squad Training is the most prestigious event on the GKF calendar and was held at the Midrand Biker’s Church on 23rd August 2025.

I would also like to recognize Azhar Patel, Moekesti Badiroang and Shravya Hansraj, for earning their Protea Colours for the first time this year.
It’s truly remarkable to see such success, especially coming from one of the best dojos in the country, Fourways Martial Arts Academy.
This accomplishment is even more impressive given that Gauteng is the strongest province in the country.
I’m proud of each and every student who is part of Fourways Martial Arts.
Yours Sincerely
