Back from the Tournament!

On Sunday, June 5th, a squad of 13 karateka from the Zanshin Kinnegad dojo attended a tournament in the Community Centre, Moate, Co. Westmeath, held to celebrate the 2nd anniversay of our friends in the Irish Shotokan Academy. The day was good humoured and action-packed, with great spirit and commitment shown by all on the mats. We won six awards (3 kata, 3 kumite), and while we were thrilled with this, we were extremely proud of the spirit and good behaviour of all our members. We all decamped to Supermacs afterwards for a post-tournament analysis! Congratulations to Matthew, Aaron, Conor, Daniel, Emmanuel, Emily, Grace, Louise, Ivan, Muireann, Cormac, Sean and Chloe! Senseis Liam and Proinsias are VERY proud of all of you! Many, many thanks also to the parents who helped by driving on the day, and also to Senseis Liam Gorman and Gerry McCarthy for inviting us. We had a great day!





Well done to all! vWe're taking a break tomorrow (6th June), but we'll be back on Monday 13th June.
