Kivuli Wins Medals at Martial Arts World Cup

A member of the Kivuli Centre who represented Kenya at the 2009 Martial Arts World Cup in Argentina has returned home with three medals.

Robinson Murundo won two silver medals and one bronze at the recently concluded world meet, which was held between October 31 and November 1 in Buenos Aires.

In total, Kenya bagged six medals – half of them won by Robinson.

Robinson is a member of the Kivuli Tong-Il-Modo Martial Arts Club. A teetotaller with a brown belt, Robinson is the best martial artist in Kivuli and the volunteer coach for the other 15 members of the group.

The Kenya national team was selected from among the best martial arts groups in the country. Before leaving for Argentina, Robinson and the rest of the Kenyan team met President Mwai Kibaki at State House Nairobi.

“I felt very proud to represent my country and the Kivuli Centre at the World Cup,” Robinson remarked.
