4WAYS DOJO PRODUCING PROTEA COLOURS SINCE 1997
Since South African Karate was readmitted to the international competition arena in 1992, SA has produced the first WKF World Champion in 1994, Sandra Louw and the first WKF African Champion in 1997, Stef Biagioni.
Since then Fourways Martial Arts Academy established itself in 1998 with Sensei Stef eventually going professional in September 1999.
Ever since then the 4Ways Dojo has been working hard at developing a system of producing Protea members representing South Africa abroad.
4Ways Dojo has built a reputation as arguably one of the strongest dojo’s in the country with a factory of Protea members for the past 20 years.
I would like to congratulate everyone to this day that has contributed to our Dojo in having faith and loyalty in the Spirit of Sport Karate.
A BIG THANK YOU to Sensei Roberta Biagioni (WKF International Referee), Sensei Brett Ferreira ( Kumite Coach ), Sensei Silvio Biagioni ( Kata Coach) and Sensei Danika Stevens ( Kumite Coach )
