Kildorrery Karate Club’s senior members and family at Sensei Sheehan’s (centre) recent farewell party.

Kildorrery Karate Club has been very successful for nine years, running under the expert management and instruction of sensei, Martin Sheehan.

Both junior and senior members have shown excellent attendance and dedication to the art, and that is transferred into excellent skill shown in competition. Commitment to training has delivered great results for the club and its members through the years.

The SKIF European Squad for 2014 has been chosen, and we are proud to say that four members from Kildorrery Karate Club have been picked this year, these are; Danny Sheahan, Chloe Millar, Lisa Coffey and John O’Donoghue. Congratulations to you all for this fantastic achievement!

SKIF or ‘Shotokan Karate-Do International Federation’ Ireland, was formed in 1978. It is the largest organisation of its kind in Ireland with a large number of clubs around the country. World chief instructor Hirokazu Kanazawa Kancho (10th dan) and his sons Nobuaki Kanazawa Sensei (6th dan) and Daizo Kanazawa Sensei (5th dan) visit Ireland twice yearly and the seminar and gradings are held in Cork, Dublin, Clonmel and Bandon.

Karate training continues at Kildorrery GAA Club; Wednesdays at 6.30pm for all juniors and newcomers; 7.15pm for seniors. Fridays at 7pm training for seniors. New members of any age are always welcome at the club and sensei Joan Sheehan can be contacted by phone: 086-1638291 for any queries or book a visit with no obligation to commit.
