    Hi,

    I'm rehabilitating from a torn ACL and I want to get back into Martial Arts again. I had previously only taken very low level Karate. I'd be looking in the Limerick City Centre area; living on O'Connell Ave area.

    I'm not into collecting belts or anything, I don't think I'd be able to attend super regularly, but I want an easy going dojo or trainer.

    I'm a struggling student so cost might be an issue as well: sub €10 would be my bracket ideally!


    Thank guys,

    There is SOOO many threads about this,
    But hes my best two off hand:own preference here.

    For self Defence i recommend the Waza Kai with Mike carrol and son.
    Both very good martial artists.they have moved around recently from place to place,but loads of posters up.Seen one in Spar henry street today.

    Secondly i highly recommend Ger and fegal in combatsports centre.
    They do soo many types of martial arts,one is bound to suit you.

    My preference is Ger in combatsports.
    Great guy adn wont push u in any direction u dont wanna go.

    The Drifter and I both train with Mike and Mikey in the Waza Kai Ju Jitsu club, so you'd be in good company there! :)

    They're just off O'Connell Avenue, on St. Gerrard's Street. New Facebook page is here: http://www.facebook.com/WazaKaiJuJitsu PM me for more info.

    judosean2005 mentions the Combatsports Centre as well, and from everything I've heard it's a very good club too. MMA or BJJ, depending on which nights of the week you want to train. No idea of training/membership fees, but I think they have a website as well.

    Adults classes are Tuesdays and Thursdays, 19:00 to 20:30/20:45.

    The price varies depending on how often you train.

    A single class is €10.
    4 classes a month (once a week) for €30.
    8/9 classes a months (twice a week) for €60.

    If you pay the €60 at the start of the month there's an additional session on Saturday mornings (11:30, I think) at no extra cost. That would work out at around €5 per session if you did all 12 in the month, but not everyone has the funds for that every month.

    Delighted to see Mike Carroll getting mentions. An excellent sensei and a good guy. He is a man who has a great interest in styles, and is very respectful of other disciplines.

    I know that he is highly regarded by many, and I think he may know another man I highly respect in Renshi Mark Hayden-Smith.


    OP, you will not go wrong with Sensei Mike Carroll, and whether you just wish to reignite a desire to learn or simply rebalance yourself after your injury, I can think of no better man in Limerick for you.
