National squad opportunities

Athletes can also access national squads, where they may qualify to represent Ireland at WKF and EKF competitions.

Irish Kenpo Karate Union
The Irish Kenpo Karate Union supports squad members on the national team pathway and runs gradings throughout the year, giving members a clear route through the Kenpo Karate system.
Karate Ireland
Karate Ireland, also known as O.N.A.K.A.I., is the National Governing Body for karate in Ireland and is recognised by the World Karate Federation and European Karate Federation.
