Summer Seminar with Sensei Ken!
On Monday, 28th July, the Kinnegad dojo hosted a seminar with Sensei Ken Fitzpatrick, 4th Dan, chief instructor of the Mullingar Kyokushinkai dojo. Ably assisted by Sempai Ciaran Stapleton, Ken took us through bag and pad drills, kihon (basics) self defense techniques and some sparring. The evening finished with a display of board-breaking and some kata. We had a great turn-out, especially in the senior class which was attended by all Zanshin Kinnegad seniors and Guro Donal Connaughton from Midlands FMA. Also present were Sensei Pat Murtagh and some of his students from Moylough Karate Club. We hope to train more with them in future.
As always, the seminar was hugely enjoyable. Ken's enthusiasm and love for his art is infectious, and his skills are undeniable. We hope to have him back again next year!
