More national success for talented Cobra Kan crew
COBRA Kan celebrated more success recently at various competitions around the country.
First up the talented Meadhbh Duffy competed in the Munster open in Cork and travelled home from the competition the outright winner of the under 9 girls advanced point fighting.
She then signed up for the Rumble competition in the City West Hotel in Dublin and came home with a bronze medal in the under 9 girls points intermediate Kata section.
Meadhbh also claimed silver in light contact intermediate 8-10 year old girls, and another two golds for both the intermediate and advanced under 9 points fighting.
21 club members travelled to the ever popular Best of the Best Competition in Kingswood in Dublin with club coach Patricia McQuillan.
A total of 30 medals were won by the club along with six grand champion Belts.
The Grand Champion Belts are awarded to competitors for the most wins during the year wand six Cobea Kan members have already claimed one with another event yet to take place in December.
From the six-year-old Sophie McCabe to the senior sections, Cobra-Kan battled their way through the rounds to come home one of the strongest clubs in the country.
Patricia was on hand throughout the day with help from some of her students to coach and mentor the members through the various rounds and sections that they were taking part in.
With only five weeks remaining until the 2017 World Kickboxing Championships in Orlando seven members of the Cobra-Kan team are also very busy training to compete as part of the Irish team that are travelling to the USA for the competition. These members, along with other club members, are doing extra training sessions as part of the Irish team squad training in Dublin between now and November.
The Grand Champion belts from the Best of the Best competition will be awarded to the club members at an awards ceremony in Dublin in January.
