Fantastic experience: I’ve been training here for nearly 3 years now and I love it. Owen runs a through kickboxing program as well as teaching Brazilian Jiu Jitsu the Next Generation way. Paul and Laura give great advice and insight, particularly from a Sanda point of view. The members are great craic, great to train with, and always looking to help beginners as much as they can. If you’re interested in martial arts, whether you’re a beginner or experienced, this is the number one place I would recommend.
