3 Lucan Siblings Bring home 5 World Kickboxing Medals
The Wade family's Amy 17, Ryan 15 and Abbie 12) from Lucan have just returned from the WAKO World Kickboxing Championships in Hungary held in Budapest.
They train in the well renowned Cabra club - KKC (Korean Kickboxing Club Cabra) under the guidance of some great coaches there.
Amazingly they managed to get to 3 semi-finals and 2 finals, culminating in 1 Gold, 1 Silver and 3 Bronze medals making them the talk of the tournament.
To put it into perspective there were 77 Irish fighters in total for the Irish Squad (KBI - KickBoxing Ireland) in all divisions and weight classes, with an impressive 34 medals that the Irish Squad came home with, 5 of them from the Wade Trio alone.
Abbie the youngest of the siblings, became a World Champion!!!!
They all trained very hard over the summer and sacrificed a lot to first of all make the Irish team and second to do so well.
An extraordinary accomplishment from 3 siblings from the same World Championship which is a very rare achievement.
They receive no funding from the Irish Government unlike the other National teams they are up against and still managed to not only compete with the best in the World but also beat them.
Abbie who became a World Champion, on the podium.
These three young people are very grateful to their sponsors who are Lucan Credit Union, Mizzonis Pizza and Clayton Liffey Valley.
Congratulations to Amy, Ryan and Abbie on their wonderful achievements!
We received the above report from one proud Dad, Andy Wade.
