On Sunday 29th January Faolchú launched our first Squad, Training & Development class for 2012 with a seminar on competition, instructed by Sensei Dermott O'Keeffe 5th Dan JKS and current World Kata Champion.
58 Karate students from Tuam and the surrounding areas as well as JKS Mayo turned in to train on the day.
Sensei Dermott taught Kumite drills and Kata all focused on improving fitness and conditioning to better perform in competition.

Our Little Wolves

The Senior Class

Everyone had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Many thanks to everyone that came.

Tuam Karate is keeping Active.

Tuam Karate kids and adults where kept busy this weekend with the visit from Sensei Dermott O Keeffe in Tuam's Total Fitness Solutions gym on Saturday.
Sensei Dermott instructed classes for 3 1/2 hours of both technical and physical training. All students had a great time and really enjoyed a personal lesson, where Sensei Dermott made sure that everyone was included and engaged.
On Sunday morning Sensei Malcolm went down to Ballina to train with MVF at their squad training session. Malcolm enjoyed (and suffered) a very active 3 hours of technical points and continuous kickboxing. I'm sure he'll enjoy bring the drills back to the Tuesday Combat class.
