    The mullingar boys mostly go to brosna bc in ballinagore or st michaels in athy. Tom ward runs brosna. Its a good club with lots of all ireland champs, and a few pro's. Would be your nearest.
    As snyper says, moate is also a good club. Never trained there myself. Jj nevin boxes out of moate i think too...

    Done Kickboxing and Thai Boxing for a while but they moved so couldn't anymore. I'd like to focus just on my hands now. I'll check out that place in Brosna when i can though, bout 15-20min from me

    Yea, its a good club over there. You obviously wont be sparring your first night there so wont need mouthgaurd, but bring your handwraps and gloves. Handwraps are around a 5er in elverys. While since i bought a pair though. Enjoy it, dont go too hard the first night, he trains fairly physical and you'd be dying the next day if you go flat out. Even he or the other trainers will tell ya to only do what your able.
