“Everything I do relates around the martial arts… It’s interwoven into my life. It made me what I am today. It gave me my discipline, my focus, my mental conditioning even – it came through this.”
In this episode we drop in on the Claremorris Karate Club, or Zanshin Martial Arts, which meets in the GAA complex.
Head instructor Stephen Kelly talks about what martial arts have meant to him, and how they can complement a person’s performance in other sports – as well as their mental wellbeing.
“Whatever ailments you have, we can adapt to your condition, to your training,” says Stephen, “This is for everybody. You can do it from a young age to a very old age.”
