Karate Competition

Faolchú will hold their second annual inhouse Tuam Karate Competition on the 30th of July. All entrees are now in and random draws have been made. A big thanks to Indigo Holistic Healing who have kindly sponsored our trophies this year.
All students must have their own gum shields which are available in any sports shop or from myself (Marie). Minimum protection of mitts and groin guards can be provided on the day but students may also wear shin and instep protectors if desired.

The event will be held in Total Fitness Solutions Tuam in the main gym, where the Wednesday karate classes are now normally held. Two mats will run throughout the day to help keep things moving along swiftly. We are very fortunate to have Stephen Kelly Sensei a qualified national karate referee to assist on the day. Sensei Kelly will be head referee on mat 1 on the day. Running order on the day is planned as follows
