Abbeyfeale Karate Club
1st November 2011A second Club Competition was held on Saturday 22nd October, 2011. The numbers competing doubled from the July event. Sections were introduced for the Orange and Yellow belts. Also there was a Team Kata event in which 6 teams participated. The Competition was run on a “round robin” basis thus allowing those participating a number of opportunities to compete. The whole purpose of the event is to encourage participation thus improving confidence and subsequently the standard within the Club. |

On Sunday September 11th, the winners from the club internal competition travelled to Mullingar to represent the club at an open JKS competition. For many, this was their first time taking part in a competition outside of the club and they certainly rose to the occasion. |

Well done to all involved, they acquitted themselves well and did the club proud showing the high standard we maintain. A special thank you to Diarmaid Sensei for couching the team in preparation for this competition. |
