2009 Events
Over 50 medals and 3 Best in Competition were brought home to Ireland from Milton Keynes. The weekend was very enjoyable and Milton Keynes put on a great show and looked after the club very well. Credit where credit is due.
All of the students attending had a brilliant time and the club did very well in bringing home so many awards.
Peggy and Sheila did their usual "stuff" by making sure that everyone was set up for the weekend. It is not always said but always thought, only for the pair of them nothing would get done. Thanks ladies.
Well done to everyone.

The Rule Of Karate.
The rule of Karate in the modern age is multiple. As a means of self defence, it is widely taught in private clubs, and in Japan it is part of the training program for policemen and members of the armed forces. A great number of colleges now include Karate in their physical education programmes and an increasing number of women are learning techniques. In Japan and elsewhere in the world Karate is gaining popularity as a competitive sport, one which stresses mental discipline as well physical prowess. What was originally developed in the Orient as a martial art has survived and changed throughout the centuries to become not only a highly effective means of unarmed self defence but also an exciting, challenging sport enjoyed by enthusiasts throughout the world.
Karate Motto
I come to you only with Karate, (empty hand)
I have no weapons ,
Should I be forced to defend myself,
My honour, my family or my beliefs,
Then here are my weapons, Karate. (empty hand)
