Which martial art(s) are you interested in learning ? I'm sure people will post links and recommendations if you tell them what you might be interested in. There are loads of martial arts clubs/schools on the southside. BTW have you looked at the sticky at the top of the page about "clubs in your area" ? If you're in college check out the sticky on college clubs, there are loads of them.

Here's 2 to get you started :

Kung Fu http://www.scmaa.ie located in Blackrock

Taekwon-Do http://www.rita-itf.org located in Stillorgan, Terenure, Tallaght.

PR.

I was looking for something agressive which also uses physical strength? Kickboxing is appealing...something like that?

I live in Cabinteely. Have you any suggestions? Is the stuff in WestWood any good?

this is very appealing and accessible. Its hard, physical and gives a good workout which sounds great.

What do you think?

my advice to you is to try out the bjj in Loughlinstown
they do stand up game ( striking) on Monday's
and Wrestling and Jiu Jitsu on Wed Sats and Sun
the training is "physical" as you put it although most martial arts rely on application of technique to over come superior strength

the southside martial arts assoc located in Newpark also has a very good rep their Instructor Paul Moran teaches reality fighting classes as well as Kung Fu

Ye BJJ sounds good. Do you know anything about cost etc? Or should i just email the guy and check it out?

Cheers man

vasch_ro

the link I put up for the straight blast gym was wonky so try
www.straightblastgym.com and look up international section and then ireland there are details listed there

vasch_ro

on the above site check out "sbgi locations" there are details about loughlinstown
there email , instructors no. etc also gives a good idea of the philosphy of the club

Hey Ronaldo7,

I'm a member of the SCMMA in Blackrock. We do Kung Fu three nights a week plus Tai Chi one night. We also do quite alot of ground fighting/grappling/BJJ and mix in other techniques.

Drop down to Newpark in Blackrock on an Monday/Wednesday/Thursday night at 7.00pm to check things out and talk to Paul.
