Led by experienced professionals with a deep understanding of stick fighting's cultural roots and contemporary relevance, Vika Wethu Championship aims to become a leading force in the world of martial arts.
Recognising the cultural importance of stick fighting and its potential to unite communities, Mr. Nala embarked on a mission to establish Vika Wethu Championship as a premier platform for promoting the artistry and athleticism of this ancient martial art.
Through the Vika Wethu Championship, Mr. Nala has created a sustainable economic system that commercializes stick fighting for the financial benefit of top performing fighters, coaches, referees and agents.
