Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Nyeri MP Ngunjiri Wambugu celebrated his three daughters for qualifying as Black Belt martial artists.<\/p>\n

The Jubilee MP, on Saturday, May 8, stated that he was a very proud father after his girls endured and sacrificed nearly a decade of training before graduation.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a journey that\u2019s taken over 10 years. Finally, you have qualified as black belts.<\/p>\n

“Onwards and upwards. Well done girls. Very well done,” Wambugu gushed.<\/p>\n

The MP shared photos of the three performing Karate and Taekwondo skills while wearing karategi, the formal and traditional uniform used for Karate practise and competition.<\/p>\n

Black Belt is the highest level or ranking a karateka can achieve after being an expert.<\/p>\n

The martial art has several other different colours, from white, yellow, orange, green, blue, purple, red, brown to black.<\/p>\n

Other than Karate and Taekwondo, martial arts professionals can also participate in Tong-Il-Moo-Do, a game that helps trainees – centering on true love – to realize the three fundamental goals of life.<\/p>\n

The first is becoming a person of mature character who learns self-control through mind-body unity and develops the capacity to love.<\/p>\n

Kenya participates in all three games internationally. Other martial arts include Kickboxing, Aikido, Wing Chun, Jiu-Jitsu, Jeet Kune Do, Western Boxing and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.<\/p>\n

Among notable karatekas and martial artists in Kenya, apart from those who represent Kenya is renowned lawyer Patrick Loch Otieno (PLO) Lumumba. The attorney is a black belt karateka.<\/p>\n

Others include actors Lupita Nyong’o and Edi Gathegi with musician Akothee still ascending the ladder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
