New Club Instructors!
We’d like to officially congratulate our new club instructors: Michael Nolan and Martin Buckley who passed their Cork Blademasters Instructors Exam and are now official Blademaster Instructors!
They have also successfully passed our level 3 rank Exam and gained the title of Free Scholar of Cork Blademasters which was one of the prerequisites for the Instructor’s Exam. This rank (Independent Scholar) acknowledges their full understanding of the system we are training and confirms their ability to both fight and train within our framework.
Second prerequisite was to become an official Hema Ireland lvl 1 Instructor which they both met as well – Michael in 2018 and Martin earlier this year.
We’re happy to have such knowledgeable and passionate people as our instructors and wish them all the best in their future!
