The Ermelo Karate Academy continues to produce exceptional talent, with siblings Chibuzo and Chinedu Okpugo leading the way in South African karate. Recently, both twins were awarded their Shodan (1st Dan Black Belts), adding to the ranks of over 20 black belts produced from the small dojo in Ermelo. This milestone now positions them as part of the Elite Ermelo Karate Team, which comprises Sensei Eugene Smith, Sensei Milton Msizwe, Lesedi Twala, Chinedu Okpugo, and Chibuzo Okpugo.
