CALLING ALL KIDS FROM D7 & D15 Now is a great time to get the kids back into the sparring. We are delighted to announce that we have a kid’s introduction to sparring seminar (workshop) coming up on 2nd May @ 6pm (Friday)at M.A.I. Dublin 15. This master class is specifically tailored for sparring - it can be very hard to cover fitness, belt work, games and all of the regular training during normal class times – especially as there are quite a few younger kids at our D15 club. Therefore, the purpose of this seminar is to solely concentrate on sparring and to get them all started properly. We’ll see how they get on and then afterwards we can arrange further future sparring for them. It should also be a bit easier to conduct some sparring during normal training once they get the experience of this seminar. Louise Devane, Joe Doyle and myself will be holding this seminar. The cost of the seminar (1.5 hrs) has been kept to a minimum and is only €10 plus all sparring gear is needed to participate. Most of the kids already have all of the gear and here’s a check list for those who haven’t: Head Guard Gum Shield Gloves (boxing style) Groin Guard (boys) Shin Pads Foot Pads We'll have full details for all parents at both clubs later today. Please make sure you register your child's name early as there are only places for 30 kid's from both clubs. There could be a few future champs

Best wishes to all the kids tonight. I rarely get to teach them so I'm really looking forward to it. Might even have to dust off my gloves and get in and spar with them: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsCjp3NUG2Q

This kids sparring seminar was great. I loved teaching it. I rarely get to cover the kids classes and I haven't gotten to do this type stuff with the kids since I ran Team MAI. They ranged from 4 to 11 so there were quite a few smaller kids. Obviously I couldn't have done it without their two regular instructors; Louise & Joe. How do you both manage them twice a week? Actually, I know the answer because I can see it in you both that you care for them a lot. I do think the kids showed improvement by the end of this seminar. I was impressed with the spirit that they all showed and there were also a few natural talents present. Now that they had a taste for the sparring, Joe is dying to include a bit more sparring with them in the regular classes (Wednesdays). There are some cute pictures already up on MAI facebook and we've some cool video clips to put up on MAI Youtube (have you subscribed to our channel yet?) so make sure that you stayed tuned. Very well done again to all the kids.

Yeah I really enjoyed the kids sparring seminar. I really cant wait to introduce regular sparring into the class. Yeah all the kids loved it even the smaller kids were dying to get stuck in even when they got hit they just kept going and kept throwing punches and kicks. I love teaching the kids and I look forward to teaching they way more Im sure all them loved the bit at the end when they got to kill me ha ha
