In recent years judo in Ireland has enjoyed a little crossover activity with the popularity of Mixed Martial Arts. Although judo players are not allowed to kick or punch their basic repertoire of grappling throws, hold downs, arm locks, chokes and strangles can be adapted for MMA without too much difficulty. Judo can be taken up simply as a fitness and social activity or as an opportunity to compete several times a year in regional or National Competitions. Although it does not always look very gentle, it is relatively low-impact and with a little common sense and good luck can be practised from the age of 6 years up to 80!
Donal Tannam started coaching as a teenager in the Dublin Judo Club in 1977 until the club closed and after a small break (marriage and the like) took over as junior coach with his own children as students in Daigokan Killester in 1990. Donal is currently a 3rd Dan Black Belt.
Donal is also a Member of the Irish Master Squad since 2003 when the Third Annual World Judo Masters Tournament was held in Derry and still competes regularly
