Style

The style of karate we practice is traditional Japanese Shotokan karate. We have a membership of about 50 people ranging in age from about 6 years and upwards. The training involves practice of basic karate techniques (kihon), fighting (kumite) and set patterns (kata) and is excellent for developing overall fitness and flexibility. In the past couple of years we have started to compete at a national level and currently we have members who are Irish national champions. In 2007, two members of the club competed at the world Championships in Japan and in 2008 we had competitors on the Irish team at the European Championships who returned to Ennis as European Champions.  We cater for all levels of ability and age, with both males and females training together every week.

New members are always welcome – please contact any of the instructors for more details or come along to one of our classes.
