Gradings: April 2006
Congratulations to the following Students who
were successful in their recent Gradings.This is just reward for their dedication and hard work, however remember that rather
than a Grading being the end, it is really only the beginning, for the hard work starts now as regards continuing to develop
your techniques and focus on learning all the finer points of the Sets you have learnt in order to make them become truly
fluid and effective if you ever need them.

We are indebted to Sensei John Aylward of Shotokan Karate Clonmel for inviting us to participate in a training seminar
with Grandmaster Jack Hogan held on Monday 24th April 2006 in Bridgewater house.This seminar consisted of pressure
point training direct from Kyusho Jitsu and Small Circle Jujitsu that make use of pressure points to render your opponent helpless or unconscious in a self defense situation.Grandmaster
Hogan was ably assisted by Shihan John Duggan and Sensei Cormac Walsh of Tipperary Martial Arts Centre in Tipperary Town.This
was an extremely informative Seminar and everyone present learnt and saw something
new.
