NEWS MARCH 2010

Kantanni Karate Do Balbriggan and Ratoath would like to wish all Kantanni Karate Do students who are competing in the Dunshaughlin Tournament on Sunday 7th March the very best of luck. Remember all those who compete are winners and we hope you have a great day out. Best of luck guys. Balbriggan and Ratoath clubs are looking forward to the Kantanni Karate Do National Championships at the end of May this year. It will be a great day out and all students are encouraged to compete. Details will be available soon from Catriona as soon as the Tournament Committee finalize date and give her details. Buses will be arranged for both clubs to and from the event depending on numbers. We will also be going to McDonalds after the tournament as always. This is a great chance to meet students and bond with them from the other club. We would also like to thank the parents in advance for their support with all the club outings and we know its very difficult during the present climate. It is a great opportunity to introduce Ratoath to the Association and give them the opportunity to meet and train with Balbriggan (who are pro's at this stage) So remember guys make sure you train hard and don't miss classes between now and then.

Don't forget to make sure you have your Association Fees up to date as only members of Assocation can compete and grade in the Kantanni Karate Do syllabus. We will also have details of sparring and technical seminars over the coming months and will be in touch with parents and students in due course.
