Welcome Back!

Zanshin Karate-Do Kinnegad resume training on Monday, 10th January 2010 at 7 PM. Zanshin Portarlington returned on Tuesday 4th January. Liam and Proinsias hope that everyone had a great Christmas, and are ready to work hard in 2011 - we have a grading scheduled for March, and hopefully, we'll fit in a tournament or two before the summer.
It is obligatory for any student who wishes to grade or to participate in a tournament to get a karate gi (suit). These are available in Elvery's in Mullingar, but if you can't find one that's right for you, please speak to an instrucor - we'll order one for you. If you're getting a suit, please try it on first - it should allow plenty of mvement, and the trouser legs shouldn't reach any further than your ankles. Don't spend huge money on a heavy canvas suit if you're a beginner - a lightweight cotton suit is perfect..
