April news!

We had a few events happening in April... On Saturday, 20th April, some of our students from Portarlington dojo participated in a tournament in Ardee organised by the Irish Wado-Kai Renmei, and under the direction of coach Sensei Paul Thackaberry, they did very well. Zanshin instructors Gerard Walsh and Proinsias Ó Fearghail assisted with the judging on the day, and can testify to the high standard involved! Here is young Oisín Henchy, Gold Medal Kata Champ!

On Monday, 22nd April, Ronan and Grace Moran graded before a panel of Zanshin instructors Gerard Walsh, Liam Darcy and Proinsias Ó Fearghail, plus guest examiner Sensei Gerry McCarthy of Edenderry Shotokan Academy. After a brief but challenging grading, Ronan advanced to Red belt and Grace to Green belt. Well done to them both!
