there's a karate club near the radisson, Taekwondo in the regional sports centre, and a ninjitsu club somewhere (saw it advertised, dont know where it's at).

There's also a boxing club opposite of the Gardai station. No kickboxing club in athlone, as far as i know.

Saturdays-Regional Sports Centre 1pm Muay Thai

BoB_BoT · 13-06-2008 10:20pm

ninjitsu are just above the honey pot (near golden island), there's kickboxing during the college term (never been to it), Taekwon-Do as mentioned in the Sports center, we train Friday and Saturday, the Karate is in St. Marys hall.
I think there's another Taekwon-Do group that train in Athlone too.

Where's the boxing club? opposite the garda station is Pizza Mama, Lotus and a bookies. :P

The Muai Tai is a new club, they train in (Mullingar or Tullamore?) aswell. Looks interesting, so far they only have one day of training here.

hi, yeah the muay thai is only once a week at the moment but are looking at more lessons. Also run classes in Tullamore, Ringtown and Mullingar. Theres a lad who trains who is good mates with the boxing coach ill ask him for some details on where it is and what times they train. BoB thanks for your other post 2 about unused buildings il check it out and keep trying. Do you train in taekwon-do or teach it?

Hi I have just moved form Derry and I am living in Athlone,I was training for my orange belt in Kick boxing and am looking for a martial art to keep fit,I liked kick boxing as it keeps me trim especially in the Thigh area,if anyone has any ideas of a kickboxing club in the area or a similar martial art please let me know. I don't think there is a kickboxing club here?
