Shihan DAVE VENTER
Shihan Dave Venter
I started martial arts (JKA – Japanese Karate Association) in 1977 under Sensei Jimmy Cook which was the head of the old Eastern Transvaal region. Our style head was well-known sensei Stan Schmidt.
November 1977 I did my first grading to a yellow belt. It took me 6 years to earn my first dan in karate, which I accomplished in 1983. While doing martial arts under these great instructors I became South Eastern and Northern Transvaal champion in kumite as well as kata, and represented the Northern Transvaal team at the annual South African Championships.
While I was in matric I was one of the two instructors based at the Middelburg dojo. I did my kickboxing grading under Shihan Pat Carney.
I participated in Boland tournaments, became Boland champion, then moved to Western Province and became WP champion. I represented Boland, WP and West Coast at the SA Champions in the recent years. In November 2017 I graded for my 5th black belt in kickboxing in George, under Shihan Natasha Crous.
In 2014 I was National Coach at the Junior WAKO World Champs in Rimini, Italy. In 2015 I was coach and fighter in the Senior WAKO World Champs in Dublin, Ireland.

MY HISTORY WITH THE EFC 2009- current
These are all the fighters that I trained, worked with and managed 2009- current as Panther and now as Silverback. I invested millions of hours in making MMA work in South Africa and enjoyed every minute of it. Well done to each and every fighter that made it to the top, and looking forward to those that are still on their journey, reaching their dreams. Well done to the EFC for being the biggest platform for fighters in South Africa 2009- present. How quickly people forget how ungoverned and unpopular MMA was in South Africa 1994-2009. Thank you for providing my fighters with this fantastic platform. Might have got some of these stats/numbers/names/times wrong, but I think it’s pretty accurate. LOL I have not forgotten all my K1, Muay Thai and Boxing Champs, this is my history with the EFC. To those of you that have moved on, I am still your biggest fan.
