Aikido in Galway

whitelightrider

Hi folks,

Just wondering if anyone knows of any Aikido schools in Galway?
Did it a few years back with Seamus Naughton but I cant find any info about his club online.

Thanks,

There is Aikido in the 'Galway City School of Judo' and possibly in 'Cravan House Judo club'

I saw a few aikido-ka (correct term?!?!) in Shantalla youth club previously, also some Ki-Aikido guys in St Josephs Hall (correct name?!?!), at the end of Mill Street just past New Road.

Is it Diarmuid who teaches in the UCG club and possibly elsewhere. Always remembered him being a cool guy!

Yeah theres a club in Creavan House, they train Tuesdays and Fridays at 8 i think...

Alternatively try the Judo in Creavan house, as a convert I highly recommend it!
