    I was at the Clubs session today. They are offering Boxing, Kickboxing, Taekwondo, Karate, Kungfu/Kenpo.

    I was tempted to sign up for Boxing but since I have never taken Boxing before I didn't feel like being used as a human punching bag.

    The ladies at the Karate didn't know what style of Karate it was. If it was Kyokushin style I would of signed up.

    For now I'll just stick to the Judo Club in Kilkenny and probably rejoin the Kickboxing club in Kilkenny as well.

    The clubs started today. If you didn't sign up on Club day you can still join if you show up when they are on.

    Could you elaborate on what you found wrong with their teaching methods? I've joined it the other day but am having my doubts now after seeing what you've said.
