π Join us today in wishing Corduff Karate Club a very Happy 34th Anniversary! π₯
Today marks an incredible milestone as we celebrate 34 years of Corduff Karate Club.
Since opening its doors in 1992 under the leadership of Sensei David Royle (7th Dan Black Belt), our club has been built on a simple philosophy: to provide the highest standard of karate instruction while helping people of all ages grow in confidence, character, discipline, and respect.
Over the past 34 years, we have been privileged to watch thousands of students begin their karate journey, achieve personal goals, earn black belts, make lifelong friendships, and proudly represent our club, organisation, and Ireland on both the national and international stage. Today, our members continue to compete at the very highest levels, representing Ireland at major international championships.
A sincere thank you to our dedicated coaching team:
π₯ Sensei Eleanore Coates
π₯ Sensei Georgia Tunder
π₯ Sensei Lisa Meagher
π₯ Sensei Jennifer Prendergast
Your commitment, enthusiasm, and support continue to inspire every student who walks through our doors.
We would also like to extend a huge thank you to the USKFI Executive Committee for their continued support, guidance, and commitment to the development of our club and its members.
To every parent and family member, thank you for believing in our club and for the sacrifices you have made over the years. Your support has been invaluable.
Most importantly, thank you to every past and present member of the Corduff Karate Club. Whether you trained with us for a few months or many years, you have helped shape the history and spirit of this club. We are incredibly grateful for your loyalty, dedication, and friendship.
Finally, a very special thank you to Sensei David Royle for 34 years of unwavering commitment, leadership, and service to karate. Through his dedication to excellence, countless students have had the opportunity to develop not only as karateka, but as people.
Here's to everything we have achieved togetherβand to many more years of friendship, hard work, and success.
Happy 34th Anniversary, Corduff Karate Club! π₯πβ€οΈ
