in 1976.Started karate in 1974 at the then University of Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland
( UBLS) under Hon Member of Parliament Abraham Spuna Kesupile. Captain of the
University Karate Team in
1977.
1978-2006: BDF ERA
Joined Botswana Defence Force in 1978. Trained with Shihan Tomiyama, Sensei
Masumbika, Sensei Mophuting, Sensei Moruakgomo, Sensei Thuto Thuto, Sensei Malesu,
Sensei Tafa, Sensei Hobona, Sensei Tshikare, Sensei Molefe, Ninja Monametsi and Sensei
James Hogan.Graded from Green to Brown Belt (3rd KYU) by Sensei Masumbika. Founding
Member of Botswana Karate Association (BOKA).Patron Botswana Kofukan Federation
(BKF).
In 1974 I joined Gaborone Judo Club alongside the late Kgosi Tholego Seretse. Other
members included Moses Mookodi, Tirelo Alidi Lesetedi, Elizabeth Moepeng just to name
a few. The highest grading I attained in Judo was Brown Belt at The Command and General

assigned each to go divergent paths. You have
been misunderstood when you gave us
individual attention.”
Hanshi: “ Those who ruled with fear envy and
regret will do anything to discredit you. So I
say, I,Hanshi Makgabenyana, PhD. MA. You
can tell them all. What you do I had long
written of 2001. Sui zen.”
Kyoshi: “ I have said that to them. They claim
that you have not written any of my current
drive into the 2nd Dimension.” Osu!
Hanshi: “You begin a new age and my
teachings will come to your help.”
Kyoshi: “ Your teachings are my sword. I have
and I have understood and embraced your
teachings and counsel. I remain indebted to
carry your vision going forward.” Osu!
Hanshi: “When crocodiles see maggot
become unhappy for the butterfly that is to
emerge. Please note many teachers and
prophets cried . .my voice is alone. I
experienced same for 46 years.”
With this statement I dropped a tear that early
morning hours. Sweetheart was deep asleep.
This dialogue deeply touched me.
Kyoshi: “I am your eyes and ears, the hand
that till the soil and sow seed of the next
generation Oikadoka. I take personal
responsibility and commit as you have tasked
me.” Osu!
Hanshi: “ Send this to all and sundry. I have
spoken. Osu!”
It is very rare that hanshi ends a discussion
with an” Osu”
10-12.3.2015 between 11pm-3am. It is
only now that I publish what I have long
been instructed to share with all and
sundry. I needed time to digest revelations
and announcements contained therein.
This dialogue followed several issues
arising from regular briefs that I, as senior
and president of Oikado I am mandated and
required to execute.
Kyoshi: “..we had agreed that dojo grade
kohai every three months upto Green belt
as a cost saving measure. As a guide. That
Oikado White to Shodan is a 30 months
course.”
‘ Dojo sensei are not submitting nor saying
why they fail to comply. Most argue that
they also have been instructed by hanshi on
these matters.”
“ My efforts and investment to take Oikado
to the next level not supported, in fact
sabotaged by silence and non compliance,
non attendance to gashuku and meetings.”
“ I have not been able to complete Oikado
2014 Annual Report due to failure by
project champions and regional chiefs to
submit reports..”
“ I am also getting tired,daddy, of
defending our Path given the attitude of
black belt cadre. I feel my word as Kyoshi
and president is not given respect and
support.”Osu!
“ It irks me when members from the 1986
to 1999 UB Karate School talk about you not
having spent a dime on us. Perhaps they do
not understand the standpoint you took in
growing,propagating and popularizing
Oikado from then up to present.”
“Their comments frustrates efforts for the
young adult that Oikado is to generate
income. Even membership, subscriptions,
grading and tournaments fees are not
enforced or communicated to their
students.”
Hanshi: “Good night! Please note that every
sms you send me I read it and note it. I do
not reply because you have a duty to prove
yourself to many of them. Do not forget that
your greatest enemy is those you were born
with.”
Kyoshi: “ Osu! I am aware. My messages
are to keep you abreast. Good nite.”
Hanshi: “ The fundamental point is here
never depend on the past to create the new.
Look at the past to create the difference. You
are to begin the new generation and it is
your task and do so.”
“ Identify those that hear you and leverage
on them. Build a new clan. Read Book 1 you
will see the point. They hate you because
you have reached the Soke-dai.”
It was this sms that put stop to posting this
dialogue.
“ Do not fight your enemies with weapons.
Fight them with time. Be strong and fluid.
Above all else be humble and patient.”
Kyoshi: “ They say each has a piece of
Oikado puzzle and no one but you can
dictate what to do with it. That you have

My Experience of The Martial Arts
It is no secret that Bruce Lee was one of the
greatest world renowned martial artists of
the twentieth century and by default his
philosophy shaped most of the practitioners
in the world and at home in Botswana. I
watched most of his movies as a young boy
of thirteen and not only enjoyed them but
dreamt that some day I would be a
respected karateka as Bruce. Since those
yeas, whilst at primary school, I started
enjoying Physical Education (PE) lessons.
I already had stamina from the daily 2 to 3
kilometer run that I had to undertake going
to school from home, carrying a log of wood
and a 5 liter bucket of water on one hand.
My books in a plastic bag on the other hand.
This clearly depicts where the fitness came
from. With all this around me, I started filling
sand into empty 12.5 kg maize meal bags to
serve as punching and kicking bags. I
believed I would be like Bruce Lee, or
perhaps like Jackie Chan, Chuck Norris and
the others, the dream of a teenager at the
time. I had no teacher or partner to practice
with.
I was lucky when I finished my primary
school and was admitted at Shashe River
School (SRS), there I found friends who also
shared my dreams of being great scholars of
martial arts. I was one of the founding
members of the school karate club together
with Sempai Tereki Moring, Ntwaagae
who moved with the speed of lightning
during kumite. He had the best techniques
of somersaulting!
As usual, when the club is young, you
always find the same faces day-in-day-out!
The so called "passenger" practitioners
would come when their bodies pleased or
when there was a trip to be undertaken to
another school or town and when you reach
the destination, they "get sick", avoiding
kumite! I braved on and was consistent with
my classes, Shukokai at the time! I was
beginning to realize that if you lose the spirit
of "repetition", your practice will become
quite difficult! Thus I had to have the right
attitude to training for a martial artist's emphasis is
"strong confidence in our original nature".

Lameck Nthekela sensei
My Experience of The Martial Arts, continued
Our school like most did not entertain karate
tournaments as football was the darling of the
administration and at least a few other ball
games such as softball and volley ball. We had
no instructor, no equipment and everyone
wanted to be the leader. It didn't bother us much
as we were committed to our sporting code and
we volunteered and self sponsored our
activities. We had tournaments with various
secondary schools and occasionally Francistown
& Selibe Phikwe BDF Garrisons. Grading was a
rare occasion due to the unavailability of
instructors.
The turning point was in 1986 at the University of
Botswana (UB). Just like at secondary school,
karate was not given the priority by the
administration. I was fortunate to find committed
minds in the likes of Benjamin Kabo Masunga,
Ranko Boniface Motlalekgosi, Lekoko Kenosi,
Moses Kgosibodiba, John Moreti and others
whose names do not come to mind immediately.
These were dedicated men, unfortunately no
woman at the time, and through volunteerism
we contributed funds, fundraised and were able
to link up with other karate schools, Shotokan
and Shukokai. During this sojourn as students,
we were able to seek help in the masters of the
art from visiting instructors or teachers from
BDF headquarters and the likes of Sensei Nathan
Kgabi and Kyoshi Patrick Makgabenyana, my
greatest Sensei of all time. He never missed
training and most of all he exposed us to various
external, local and international, instructors and
we were happily graded! We learned how to
meditate as well as introduced us to the way of
the Oikado.
The freedom that Kyoshi Makgabenyana gave
us to explore our potential, creativity and
independence reflects that "the best way to
control your sheep or cow is to give HIM a
large, spacious meadow of land" and that
through transience, we should find perfect
existence through imperfect existence. This was
forever displayed during our inter campus
In 1987 the UB Oikado took a trip to the
University of Zimbabwe and we had a good
time of our life. It was a Five-a-side. Our
opponents undermined the stealth power that
we had in the tiny and short members of the
Oikado team. I was the only lepako, taller
than all my team mates; and the Zimbabwe
team was gifted in body and height. I must
say, in this tournament, skill and technique
was at the fore of our success.
The Tekki (Teno) katas and the magic
setkicks are something one can never take
away from us! Kabo Masunga was best at
throwing down his opponents and the break
falls by non other than myself scared these
massive giants. Each time I rolled on the
ground, I would catch my opponent off guard
with a combination, Ushiro and Gyaku Zuki,
thereby getting an ippon and wazare at the
same time.
I think they were match-watching whenever I
came spinning! We won the tournament with
a clean sheet. Unfortunately we had no
trophies to lift in those years save to be
declared the winners by word of mouth!
At the Universisty of Swaziland (Kwaluseni
Campus) in 1988 our team came First again.
Swaziland and Lesotho were second and third
respectively. At this tourney, I had now
mastered both my magic set of kicks and my
favorite kata, Kangaku, I loved leaping like a
lame duck or a Crane. My height advantage
also gave me the latitude to offer my
opponents the brunt of my inside step kicks
and my long fist! I also had a lethal round
house heel kick!
Sensei Motlalekgosi, the Ushiro man, played
the fool with his opponents throughout the
tournament and it was like clapping his
opponents with his feet.
Sensei Kabo Masunga as usual did his best
with his pounding straight punches and
sweeps that put most of his opponents down!
He had good foot work I must say.
John Moreti was an amazing fighter, with his
short heavy punches to his opponents chest
and his branded "two-feet" sweeping
I cannot overemphasize the contribution
that Lekoko Kenosi (he had a similar
style to John) and other members of the
team made and this was a bigger group.
Some of the team members' names have
now disappeared from this aging memo
University of Zimbabwe returned their
match in 1989 and the venue was our
SRC Student hall, jam packed (ele
sethito le boitumelo!). With home crowd
and ground advantage the result was
going to be obvious. Our team had also
matured over the years and we were the
cream of the crop with various
youngsters having joined our team. The
presence of our Sensei, Makgabenyana
inspired us a lot. Much as we won this
tournament, I was a bit sad because I
was sent to the showers earlier for an
illegal round house heel kick that cut
through the lips of my second opponent.
I was meant to have three opponents
and I had performed very well, winning
my first fight. As I left the ring, I
remembered the words of Sensei
Makgabenyana that "over-excitement
and the heat of anger can ruin
performance!"
Now that I am gown up, I know that
temperance and constancy are my
guiding principles in life and as in the
teachings of survival Zen Meditation, in
the beginner's mind, there are many
possibilities, but in the expert's there
are a few! I know that people who know
the state of emptiness will always be
able to dissolve their problems by
constancy. Each day, I honor my
obligations to meditate and continue to
train and practice the Oikado way!
These are my remembrances and I
dedicate this award to the former UB
Karate School, Oikado members, active
and non active. Through your support
and presence you helped maintain my
martial arts flame. A flame I long lit in
my formative primary school days.
My respect and honor. Rei.

“ He only smiled and laughed after training.”

Fusion of Old and New

The OIKADO Martial Arts School is proud
to present its Grassroots Development
Program for 2010 – 2020. It is a result of
work by the OIKADO National Executive
Council and Technical Board and has
embraced all stakeholders of the school.
This third phase of the program is set in the
background of unprecedented unity and
drive demonstrated in the first phase (1995-
2000) and the second phase (2006-2010) to
take karate to the public. Recent
developments in Oikado Black Belts cadre
resolve is to speak and act in unity and also
paramount to deliver martial arts/karate
practice to the public in a coordinated and
structured way.
Crucial to the program was the appointment of a
strong and active National Technical Board headed
by Kyoshi Moses Topsoil Kgosibodiba, the
President of the School, Shihan Gaabadzo Moseki,
Chairman Technical Board. Plus eight (8) active
black belts of instructorship status drawn across the
breath and length of Botswana. The Grassroots
Development Program sits alongside and
across various areas of their development:
social, personal, educational, careers,
emotional, physical and spiritual dimensions.
The school aims to achieve these goals and in
2001-2005 & 2006-2014 we embarked on the
re-engineering exercise and increased the
number of instructors in order to expand the
program throughout the country.
The results have been dramatic, primarily
because enthusiasm for martial arts practice
and training does exist in local communities.
Martial arts/karate offers a genuine and safe
alternative and augments other performing
arts and sporting codes.
Its popularity is growing in leaps and bounds
at secondary schools, colleges and
university. It has attracted international
interest. Funds’ permitting our wish is to
cascade the program down to primary school
children, to rural communities near and
remote.
the re-engineering (1995-2005) and (2006-
2009) phases of the school.
The purpose of the program is to
demonstrate how martial arts/karate at
grassroots level will proceed from now and
where it will be by 2020.It underpins the
school’s application for funding from your
good institution.
It will also serve as a valuable tool for
monitoring and evaluating achievements
against milestones laid down. Vital to the
program success is the need to regularly
review and where appropriate make
adjustments.
The Grassroots Development Program
seeks to embrace and build the key
component required to achieve Youth
Development. At the core is the desire to
enable individuals to experience as
positive, fun and free atmosphere of martial
arts/karate practice and training and go on
to fulfill their true potential in the arts and

Training and Advancement in Oikado is a
slow process founded on traditional
principles and stages canvassed herein.
These are synchronized with educational
systems, career development and personal
advancement. The drive is to go beyond the
limitations of techniques and that of the
style/system. To that end learning in Oikado
is not short term exercise. The phases of
development and advancement are strictly
observed when we pass our students into

status of

Kirikami Phase – Black Belt 1st
– 4th

One is required to practice with total
physical, mental and spiritual commitment.
taught. You are required to demonstrate a
scholarly attitude. Much assessment is placed
on compassion, attitude, humility, obedience,
self-sacrifice, and respect for human values,
life, family and loyalty.
Kyoshi Phase – at this stage one must
demonstrate requisites of a true disciple and
potential master. Once this has been
ascertained you are conferred title of
Kyoshi. It could be anytime from 5th
– 9th
Dan
Black Belt. At this level you have permission
to search for more knowledge of techniques,
theories independently and to innovate,
incorporate, adjust under honor of your
mentor and the school and that of your own.
It is through the above phases that one can
learn, train and develop for many years in
order to acquire the ultimate honor of master
hood. This requires extreme perseverance.
You will need patience as it is a question of
time and rightful quest in The Way of Oikado.
Mokuruku Phase – introduction to the
intense study of theories, techniques,
strategies and weapons until the student
attains unquestionable depth and insight. At
this stage you must demonstrate confidence,
maturity, perfection and foresight. This
stage prepares you for master hood level.
Menko Kaiden Phase – introduction to new
strategies and techniques. One must
demonstrate abilities and apply techniques
and demonstrate interpretation, teach
others (mandatory requirement). One is
required to incorporate techniques, adjust
them and comment on innovations. You also
receive salient secrets and are expected to
maintain them throughout life. This stage
prepares you to master hood (Kyoshi).
Kigurai Phase – here much philosophy is
emphasized in addition to maintaining
standards of previous phases. Various
theories of techniques and warfare are

TRAINING AND ADVANCEMENT IN OIKADO
Phases of Development and Advancement: Black Belt Dan Levels
Training and advancement in Oikiru Ryu
Karate Jitsu Do (OIKADO) is a holistic
approach. It covers a wide range of teaching
methodologies from field of education and as
a system it has amalgamated a number of
martial arts styles and systems. To that end
an Oikadoka is required to read, research,
train in and practice across a wide variety of
styles and systems to their disposal. This is
mandatory because as you advance into the
ranks of Black Belt and higher Black Belt
levels one would be required to demonstrate
a diverse martial arts knowledge base.
Training in Oikado therefore encompasses
the following.
1.Educational System – in our teaching we
utilize advances in educational teaching
methods. This is particularly true in learner-
centered approaches and holistic issues. It is
therefore important that an Oikadoka is
conversant with teaching-learning concepts.
2.Career Development – advancement in
OIKADO is treated as a career development
program. In addition it takes into account
career progression both in the field of work
and in the martial arts halls. We are fully
aware that some of our practitioners are not
academically gifted. To that end training and
excelling in the arts should offer them a
window for both personal development and
career development opportunity as
instructors.
3.Personal Advancement – our training
encourages personal growth and
development. There is the great concept of
personal style and Oikado takes cognizance
of that.
4.Belt Rankings- in Oikado practitioners go
through several belt rankings and levels of
advancement. We need to realize that belts
are symbolical, inspirational and to some
indicate level of personal development.
5.In Oikado students’ aptitudinal
development and progression is
mandatory. To that end student development
and progression is closely assessed through
examination of your assimilation of physical
techniques(kihon), intellectual growth (as
would observed when you teach or write
articles, present papers in martial arts),
application(bunkai-odo), spiritual growth
and enlightenment.
Attainment of Black Belt 1st
