Getting Busy

Karate preparation is well underway, with today's main tasks of cleaning, painting and paperwork.

The painting is fairly orderly by Malcolm , however the paperwork and computer mess is mine. This year I promised myself to create order.

Tuam's Karate is Keeping Busy

Tuam karate Faolchú is settling in well to 2012.
Last week everyone should have received their squad training cards to be stamped as the year progresses, with the first Faolchú Squad Training taking place on Sunday the 29th of January. Our first training date will be unique because it will be instructed by Sensei Dermot O Keeffe 5th dan, current World JKS Kata Champion.
We are currently preparing for our first competition of the year the Piltown Championships. This will be held on the 27th of February.
To help raise money for our squad fund next week we are asking people to bring in their old clothes, shoes and handbags in "Cash for Clothes" fundraising.
Last week we also had the pleasure to meet and train with the Operation Tuamsformation people which was great fun. Well done to all involved and many thanks to our adult Faolchú students who helped out with the class.

CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS

Dear Faolchú Students and parents,
Thank you very much for all your support during 2011. The club has went from strength to strength and we have had the great pleasure watching students advance personally, mentally and emotionally from week to week through classes, competitions, seminars, charity events and gradings.
Our final class before the Christmas holidays is Thursday the 22nd of December, Tuesday the 13th of December for the combat class.
All classes will resume from the 10th of January 2012.
We are looking forward to the New Year and have lots of plans and aspirations going forward.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS FROM MARIE & MALCOLM

Tuam Karate Nunchaku Course

We had great fun on Saturday at our Tuam Karate Nunchaku Beginners Course. Sensei Stephen Kelly kindly came down to Tuam to instruct the course. We started with a mix of ages where we covered basic holding, catching and throwing to get familiar with handling the weapon. As the day progressed Sensei Stephen helped us all develop all the basic strikes, blocks and the movement of the nunchaku.
After a small break all of the younger children finished up and the adults and teenagers where introduced to some more difficult aspects of movement with nunchaku. We covered Kihon Nunchaku Kata, with Sensei Stephen taking time and care to demonstrate movements and applications within the kata and through partner work. Everyone had a wonderful time and there was a buzz from the small children all the way up to the adults class.
A big thanks to Sensei Stephen Kelly and all students who participated on the day.
