Hi, my name is Stefan van der Merwe

I’m a Biokineticist, Karate Instructor and Coach based in Windhoek, Namibia.

My passion for martial arts and exercise have always been my main motivators and ultimately formed the pillars around which I have built my career.

I first started competing as a karate athlete at the age of 7 and currently have over 20 years of experience in Okinawan Goju-Ryu karate. I have been blessed to be able to represent Namibia numerous times internationally, most notably at the Commonwealth Karate Championships and Africa Games.

After graduating from Stellenbosch University in 2015, I returned to Namibia where I started working as a full time Biokineticist before starting my own practice, Trinity Fitness Namibia, in 2019.

I have also always enjoyed teaching both traditional and sports karate and currently serve as National Coach of the Namibian Karate Team.

If you are interested in learning more about what I do please do not hesitate to contact me!
