Congratulations are in order to all those from Mayfield Renshukan who recently passed their gradings under Kanazawa Kancho, particularly Clodagh O’Mahony, who in a remarkable display of dedication and skill earned her Shodan.  Her accomplishment is a testament to the commitment and passion she has for karate-do.  Clodagh also currently holds the title of SKIF Ireland Senior Women’s National Kata Champion.

It’s also important to recognise all those who participated in the Kyu gradings too.  Each one of you demonstrated technique, strength and the true spirit of karate-do.  A reminder that with perseverance and dedication, anything can be achieved.

Furthermore, the impressive display of club spirit and camaraderie did not go unnoticed.  The success of Mayfield Renshukan is deeply rooted in our collective dedication to preserving the traditions, values and philosophy of Hirokazu Kanazawa Soke and Shotokan Karate-Do.  We are all part of the SKIF Family.

Well done once again and congratulations to each and every one of you.
