On Saturday 2nd April one of our Instructors and elite competitors Niall Gilligan took part in his first full contact karate fight at the 1st UFCK Full Contact Karate Gala winning with a 3rd round stoppage!
Although the evening was not something we are used to Niall performed outstandingly in the fight itself and with great dignity and respect throughout, particularly to his opponent at the end!
Firstly we would like to thank the organisers for the opportunity and their fantastic hospitality throughout the night!
We would also like like to thank the supporters that came out in force to make the atmosphere electric!
Thank you to @simonodowd for providing him with top quality training gear to prepare with
Finally we would like to thank and congratulate his opponent Max Threadwell and his coach who had obviously prepared tirelessly in the build up to make it such a fantastic match up!
