Hello Everyone,

Unfortunately the school has double booked the hall for an exhibition in March and so there will be no classes from the 28th of February until and including the 14th of March.
Please see the image above for clarity.

Fantastic final class to wrap up the year. Well done to absolutely everybody. I look forward to starting up again in the new year. First class back will be Monday 03/01/2022

Happy holidays to all!

I am hugely proud to be setting off to compete in the WKF World Championships next week in Dubai.
Representing my country is always a great honor and I'm looking forward to getting out on the tatami yet again.
Special thanks to .nord in sponsoring me for the event.

I am extremely proud to announce that after 15 years of studying Shotokan Karate, I am finally opening my own Dojo.

I began karate at the age of 9 years old while attending an Educate Together School just down the road from the current one I am setting up in. This life changing decision completely altered the direction of my life. I have come a long way since starting as a white belt, to now being a 3rd Dan Black Belt. In that time, I have achieved more than I could have ever expected. From winning and maintaining my All-Ireland National title for over a Decade, to travelling all over the world as a member of the Irish National Team. I have competed in several European and World Championships all around the globe. My most notable achievements being that I maintained my University Sports Scholarships throughout my 5 years of Architecture Studies and winning the World Shotokan Karate Federation World Cup in 2018.

I am thankful to now be in a position in my life where I can give back to my community by helping teach karate and show others what it can do for them. Within Chiri Dojo you will learn the martial arts way of respect, discipline, and self-defence. While improving fitness, flexibility, and self-confidence.

Please join me and see what benefits karate can have for you.
Chiri Dojo is located in Esker Educate Together National School, Lucan, Co. Dublin K78 N239, on Monday and Thursday evenings at 18:15 – 19:15.
