Due to the high attendance, we have decided not to switch to summer time, this year. The course wil continue with the normal schedule.
Monday and Thursday
Juniors 19:30 - 20:30
Seniors 20:30 - 22:00
Seven of our junior members took part in a friendly competition against two other Shotokan karate clubs in Dublin; St Brigid’s JKA Club in Castleknock and YMCA JKA Aungier Street. We’d especially like to thank the parents who made the trip to Castleknock to allow our members take part in this enjoyable event.
Our members did really well, with Vinh taking gold (gohon-kumite) and bronze (kata) medals, Anjelica winning a silver (kata) medal and Bianca getting bronze (kata). The competition was run primarily to allow members get the competition experience in an encouraging environment. We hope to run another competition like this in Fairview before too long.
This morning the black belt grading took place in Cork.
We are pleased to announce that the club has a new black belt! Stefan Izota passed his Shodan (first black belt), well done Stefan, we are proud of you.
