Magnificent seven!

LOCAL Club Swiff Kick Martial Arts Academy (SKMAA) are incredibly proud of the seven members of their competition team that competed at the Kickboxing Ireland National Championships in Citywest over the 28/29 of April.

For most of them it was their first time competing at Nationals.

This competition was the qualification to travel to the WAKO World Championships in Italy in September where those that place in the Top Two earn their place on the Irish National Team. And they are ecstatic to announce that five of the members did just that!

Everyone performed incredibly well competing at the highest standard at this level.

They achieved an amazing four silver medals and had two new gold medal national champions!
