It was a good weekend for Monivea’s Brendan Kenny who
took Silver at the WAKO Kickboxing World Cup event that took place in Budapest.
Following fights against opponents from Hungary, Germany, Slovakia, Slovenia
and Poland, Brendan qualified for the final against a Finnish opponent who
would win despite a strong showing from the Galway man. Brendan fight’s out of
the White Tiger Martial Arts Club in Castlebar under Damien Gormely and next up
will be representing GMIT at the University Combat Games in Croatia at the end of
July.
Of course, to compete at this level would not be
possible without some help and Brendan has some excellent Galway based sponsors
in both Body Fuel Galway and Breakfree Clothing among others.
This is a really exciting tournament for me as it's the first tournament of its
kind and also it's extremely exciting to see kickboxing included at the games
along with Olympic Sports such as Taekwondo and Judo.
Be sure to follow his social medias to stay up to
date with my Kickboxing journey.
