This coming Saturday the 1st of June we will be hosting a judo seminar with Mr. Paul Cummins 6th Degree.
Hosted in Greenhills community centre, this seminar will dive deep into ranges of combat unfamiliar to most Taekwon-Do students. This seminar is an amazing opportunity to round out your martial skillset, and get hands on expereience in the techinical details of grappling, throwing and controlling an opponent.
Cavan TKD welcomed Master Val Douglas for the launch of the Little Dragon’s programme in the Réaltóg Centre, Kilnaleck on Saturday. The children had a great time participating in a variety of new games, Taekwon-do drills and stretches. Students from both the Arvagh school and the Kilnaleck school came together to meet Master Douglas and participate in the seminar. The event was a great success and enjoyed by all! - Instructor Dan Kaneswaran
