Just what UCD needs - ANOTHER Martial arts club.

Nah only messing, when I was doing the stands for TKD during Freshers week, there'd always be one or two people asking if there were any Muay Thai clubs around.

Has there been much of an interest? Whos the instructor?

How much do the classes cost, and where do you get handwraps?

rainbow kirby

You can get handwraps at any shop which sells martial arts or boxing gear. Try Mullens at the end of Mary Street.

Well the club has been set up at the request of the students of U.C.D. but you guys all look alike so its hard to tell who is a student and who is not...
