It was a busy weekend for the Three Rivers Shotokan club with members being tested both home and abroad.
Thursday night the selected members attend a seminar with JKS England’s Matt Price Sensei who put them through their paces as they got ready for their grading at Strabane Shotokan’s Dojo under Simon O’Dowd Sensei the following night.
After months of preparation at their home Dojo in Lifford under head Coach Martin McNamee Sensei there was happy faces all around from the participants and parents as they passed with flying colours.
Saturday morning seen the senior members jet off to Worcester England for the second year in a row to take part in the Central England 21st Open Karate Championship.
This is a very exciting and highly attended event that draws some top class competitors from across the UK.
Well done to Ciaran Crawford and Emma Dolan who after some fine performances returned home to Ireland with a bronze medal each in their respective Kumite sections as well as gaining more valuable time on the Tatami in another Country.
