Osaka Cup Germany

 Hi everyone, it's been a while since I posted here. So let me begin by wishing you all a very Happy New Year 2026. I thought I'd begin again by filling you in on the highlights of 2025.

For us one big event was our trip to Emden and taking part in the Osaka Cup. 

We had a brilliant experience with a full programme for the day.

Firstly we had a seminar for 2hrs with 4 different instructors teaching Bo, Sport Kenjutsu, Kumite and Kata. This was followed by an exibition of cutting with Live Katana.

We took part in a Ireland v Germany challenge and finally the open Osaka Cup in kata and kumite

A brilliant adventure and well done to our representatives and their supporters.

Little Wolves Karate Tournament

Faolchú Karate Club held their annual tournament in Clonberne Community Centre. We had a great turn out with more than 60 competitors aged 4 to 8 years old. Clonberne Karate Club, Dunmore Karate Club, Kilkerrin, Tuam Karate Club, MSKC, White Tigers and Abbeyknockmoy Karate Club all participated on the day, where we made friends and had a fun filled day. It was great pleasure to watch the young karateka compete and perform for the audience. Many thanks to all who came and supported the day.
