Well done to the Friday students who were awarded Student of the Month.

First Club Grading

We had our first grading last Saturday, which was a huge success.
Sensei Scott Langley held two classes, in Kilconly Community Center, just outside Tuam.
The childrens' karate was excellent and those who were in the under 8's class performed excellently, especially given their level concentration and skill displayed on the day.
The second class comprised of a mix of adults and children and was both a challenge and fun experiance for every level and age.
28 children graded on the day and everyone one passed without difficulty with many double grading.
Well done to everyone, we are very proud of you

Sensei Scott Langley in Tuam

The classes are for everyone and fellow karateka are welcome to train.

On the day, there will be two seperate classes, the first will be a specially designed class for children who are between the ages of 4 and 7.

The second is a general class for children over 8 and adults.

10:30 - 11:30 class for children under 8.
11:30 - 12:30 junior class grading.

These times are approximate but there will be tea and light refreshments available and an impressive playground to help pass the time for guests who are watching.
