After receiving feedback from students and parents, we can now confirm our inhouse competition will go ahead at the end of July.
The competition plans to be a fun day out with the intention of giving the children's karate and confidence a boost before we take our holidays for August.
There will be trophies for 1st, 2nd and 3rd and a participation medal for those who do not place.
The Tuam Karate Competition will be held in The Indigo Holistic Healing Centre, talk to your Instructors for details on the event.

Well done to our students of the Month
Nathan Collins
Sisters Aela and Naoise Kane, with Eoghan Murphy.
Competition in Co. Sligo
Jayden Murphy entered a novice tournament last Sunday in Sligo. He was unfortunate to be placed in the age group above his own due to his height and having previously competed. In his first continuous bout there was a 5-5 draw by the end of the match, this caused extra time to be added. There was a close fight and Jayden was not victorious on this occasion, the wee guy who eliminated Jayden went on to be the overall winner.
Jayden is our only club member who is currently training in kickboxing although we hope to change that before the year is out.

First Club Grading
We had our first grading last Saturday, which was a huge success.
Sensei Scott Langley held two classes, in Kilconly Community Center, just outside Tuam.
The childrens' karate was excellent and those who were in the under 8's class performed excellently, especially given their level concentration and skill displayed on the day.
The second class comprised of a mix of adults and children and was both a challenge and fun experiance for every level and age.
28 children graded on the day and everyone one passed without difficulty with many double grading.
Well done to everyone, we are very proud of you
