Anyway I joined Christian Union (accidently) Kickboxing/Grappling/MMA Judo Redbrick Olympic Handball. I'm pretty sure I'll go to some Judo/MMA stuff once/twcie a week and use…

I'll probably end up joining Japanese, Debate and Strange things later this year.

It was so hectic and the problem at the our stand(Art) that people think you need to have some talent. which is BS!

btw congrats to the airsoft guys,even after facing a campaign from E&S.

Mondays classes take place in the handball court of DCU sport centre while tuesdays sessions take place on the sprint track upstairs (Gallery)

I got the information from a thread on a different message board the organiser posts on. I'm sure they'll try and get an email out over the weekend once all the addresses have been entered onto the computer.

My interpretation is:

The different clubs and societies receive a grant (aka money) from the college. The Sports Club Committee (SCC) is responsible for distributing money to the sports clubs. The amount of funding is dependent on a number of factors including how many members the club has, how often it trains, how expensive it is to run the club and probably some more harder to define attributes. The MMA club is a new club based on the Kickboxing club and therefore has not confirmed how much grant it will get. Either way, the club must employ a coach and the coach must be paid.

After basic equipment is purchased there isn't a lot of money left over in the kitty to pay the coach for a number of days trainings, therefore a small sum (~2euro), per class may be charged.

Some of the other martial arts club may be more established and have already secured funding to pay their coaches, or they may not have a "professional" coach and instead have a senior student coaching.
