Krav Maga in Cork

minidazzler · 15-01-2008 2:07pm #1

Hey there,
Is there anywhere in Cork to take Krav Maga classes? I want to take up a defence system that is more realistic than the chinese and Japanese styles.
I am not locked on Krav Maga but anything of that sort (real life training not fixed movements) would be good.

Thank you.

I am sure Andrew or Liam will be along to answer properly but quoting form a few threads down -

Macurtin Street Cork(Directly across the road from the scout shop and through the red arch way)

Inside you'll find Thai-Boxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
These two websites might help:
www.irishthaiboxing.com
www.bjjcork.com

Liam and Andrew are both top notch so you could do a lot worse than train with them.
