Corduff Shotokan Karate Club

🎉 Join us today in wishing Corduff Karate Club a very Happy 34th Anniversary! 🥋
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:
🥋 Sensei Eleanore Coates
🥋 Sensei Georgia Tunder
🥋 Sensei Lisa Meagher
🥋 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 together—and to many more years of friendship, hard work, and success.
Happy 34th Anniversary, Corduff Karate Club! 🥋🎉❤️

Huge congratulations to our newest batch of students at Corduff Karate Club who completed their grading today under the watchful eye of Sensei David Royle, 7th Dan.

The feedback was extremely positive, with great praise for the students’ attitude, fighting spirit, effort, and determination throughout. Every student should be very proud of what they achieved today.

This is another important step on the karate journey, and a reminder that hard work, discipline, and commitment always pay off. Well done to all of you on your progress — keep training hard and keep moving forward.

A big thank you to all of our parents and families for your continued support. It is always appreciated and makes a real difference.

Well done everyone. Oss.

A huge thank you to all of our members who attended the special training course with Sensei Frank Brennan this weekend.

Sensei Brennan, the KUGB Senior Squad Coach and former World and European Champion, delivered an outstanding and extremely challenging session. As always, his teaching was full of detail, clarity, and insight, providing everyone with a fantastic opportunity to learn from one of the most respected figures in Shotokan karate.

Sensei Frank Brennan is not only an inspiring karateka, but also an inspiring character who has been visiting Dublin and delivering courses for over 25 years. It is always a privilege to host him, and we are very grateful for the time, knowledge, and experience he continues to share with our members.

The training was demanding but extremely rewarding, and it was fantastic to see so many members embracing the challenge and supporting the course.

We would also like to thank the USKFI for providing these opportunities for our members to train with such superb instructors, and for choosing our dojo to host the seminar.

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to such a positive and hardworking atmosphere. Your continued commitment to your training and to the club is very much appreciated.

Well done to all who took part, and thank you for your continued support. 🥋
