Martial Arts

WICKLOW MARTIAL Arts ( WMA) has quietly been enjoying another successful year, in terms of silverware, with several of its fighters coming to national prominence as a result of their proficiency at tournaments throughout the country in recent months.
In October, the Primal Fighting Championship drew competitors from around Europe to the plush surrounds of Dublin's D4 Hotel, where a large crowd was treated to a night of thrilling, full-contact fights, culminating with an international contest pitting a Norwegian team against an Irish team. Representing WMA on the night were Simon Alvey and Michael John Devlin, with both men the recipients of contentious decisions in K1 contests.
The Marriot Hotel in Ashbourne, Meath, also played host to an internationally flavoured fight-fest on November 12, with WMA fighters Kieran Stapleton and Jordan Graham appearing on the undercard of a double-irish-title-fight. Making his competitive debut, Graham took the decision out of the judges' hands by scoring a spectacular knockout in the second round.
The club would like to extend its gratitude to all of those that have helped make 2011 another successful year.
