The council finally agreed to protect our club and keep it in the heart of Cabra. I am exhausted but relieved that our space will remain exactly where it belongs for the next generation. We will keep a close eye on the site to ensure this commitment holds firm.

Petition to Dublin City Council with the proposed development to knock our club which has being part of the Cabra community for over 36 years and has produced many a World Champion, teaching kids and adults and their children keeping them away from a possible life of crime.we encourage adults and kids alike to learn the art of martial arts which is proven to to give society responsible adults and kid , We would ask you to please sign our partition to hand to Dublin city council and ask them to DIVERT the payment which they receive of the Developer to invest the funds back into the development and keep KKC where it belongs in the community of Cabra which has become well renowned around the world. This will be a massive blow to our students and the community and the policing in Cabra Dublin 7.

The days are long and the meetings are draining but we are getting closer to five hundred signatures. Keep pushing because we need to show the council that this club is worth fighting for.

The days are long and my patience is wearing thin but seeing these signatures grow keeps me going. We need to hit that hundred mark before the council looks our way so please get this in front of anyone else who understands what this club means to Cabra.

This club gave me so much memories which I will cherish forever. The help and care this club shows towards the youths in cabra is nothing but inspirational, this club must continue on bannow Road to not only keep kids away from trouble but to also excel in in kickboxing.

closing down such a club in taking away from all aspects of a community. Enough has been taken from the area,s to build housing. This in a place to learn and to be active and pass on knowledge and respect.

This fantastic club has been a lifeline for so many youngsters in the Cabra area, In a time we're kids turn to drugs, alcohol or anti social behaviour. Please reconsider your proposal and save this club

Clubs like KKC are a huge asset in local communities helping the youth and alduts of all ages and should be supported in every way. Planning permission for development is not as important as planning for our communities wellbeing and health bit physically and most importantly mentally
