Zanshin Karate Kinnegad final message

It is with great regret that the instructors of Zanshin Karate Midlands (Kinnegad) have decided to call it a day.

We have been in operation for ten years, have held gradings, tournaments and seminars and in general have had a wonderful time.

We had hoped to reopen in September, but due to a combination of events both personal and practical, we can no longer devote the time and commitment to the club that it deserves.

We would like to thank our wonderful students and the parents who got them to training, supported them at gradings and drove them to tournaments.

Hopefully those students who wish to continue on their martial arts journey will do so - there are many good clubs out there.

We are posting this announcement now as it has taken us some time and a lot of discussion to reach this decision.

Thank you all for your support and assistance over the last ten years.

Senseis Liam,Proinsias and Peter

Class suspended

Hi all...we have decided to suspend classes in Kinnegad with immediate effect as there is so much uncertainty at the moment and it looks like a move to Level 3. We will resume training as soon as possible.
