Recently we held the 1st round of what is a three leg competition in the Faolchú Cup Challenge Competition with Kumite and Kata events.
We had over 45 participants and 80+ entries. Every competitor received points towards the overall cup winner. With bonus points for those who won medals.
The next event will be in the last weekend of June with the categories being Set Kumite and Sport Kenjutsu.
Last week on 18th of April we travelled to Mullingar to take part in the Midlands Competition hosted by Kodoukai Ireland. Ten members took part and performed exceptionally.
The competition was run to suit Novices and beginners. Thanks to Sensei Daniel & Sensei Alan for a wonderfully run event.
Last week 2nd through to the 8th of March was Women in sport week.
Sensei Marie took the time to take photos of some of the great women we have training with us.
Below is a collection of photos from some of our classes.
On Saturday 7th of Feb '26 we travelled to Nass for Squad training. The course lasted a little over 2hrs and covered Kata & Kumite training.
We were suprised at how many were in attendance with in excess of 70 athletes.
Well done to our representatives on the day you performed brilliantly.
This weekend 17th & 18th January, club instructors Marie & Malcolm took part in two days of training for their IMAC and Sport Ireland accredited coaching certificates.
This is a four day course spread over two weekends. The course covered a vast amount related to coaching athletes and dealt with best practices, legal obligations, integration and scientific methods for coaching students.
