On the 13th July 24 Master Charles Boyle of Inverclyde Cho’s Tae Kwon Do Scotland travelled to Kenmare Bay Hotel Co Kerry Ireland to take part in Aimaa Ireland International Training Camp 2024.
This camp was hosted by Grandmaster John Darcy the European International Director of A.I.M.A.A. ( Action International Martial Arts Association ) this event was a huge success, there were clubs from all over Ireland, Scotland and as far as Hawaii.
On Sunday evening before camp started there was a Black Belt testing with 19 students testing, under Grandmasters John Darcy and Grandmaster Peter Byrne and Master Charles Boyle sitting at grading table alongside Mr Paul Healy 5th Degree giving instruction to students from high red to 2nd degree. All students done a fantastic job on the night.
