Fantastic experience: I can't say enough about Martin and Jason at Nafianna. They are excellent coaches and have the patients of saints. My son started with Nafianna a few years ago and was always very shy, Nafianna helped him grow into a confident young man. He never liked sports, but absolutely loves going to his kickboxing classes, and always has some awesome to say about his class when he gets home. I would highly recommend Nafianna to anyone.

Na Fianna Martial Arts

Thank you so much for your kind words! Apologies for the late reply. We're thrilled to hear how much your cillian has grown in confidence and found a passion for kickboxing with us.

We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to seeing him continue his journey with us.

Fantastic experience: I don't really do the "sharing experiences" type of thing, but in the case of the Na Fianna Martial Arts school in Athlone, I'm really happy to do so. From the first day my son, (5 years old) and I stood inside Na Fianna, we can't get enough of it. From Coach Martin's multiple ways of sharing his professional approach for teaching the art of martial arts, to Coach Jason's patience, respect and relationship building with the students, Na Fianna school is truly worth looking into. For anyone interested, or even those who would like to know more about the art of martial arts, I recommend a visit to these guys. You won't be sorry Joe & Alexander Egan

Na Fianna Martial Arts

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience, Joe! We’re thrilled to hear that both you and Alexander are enjoying your time at Na Fianna Martial Arts. We strive to create an environment where students not only learn but also build strong relationships and respect for the art. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to continuing this journey with you both.

Warm regards,
Na Fianna Team

Positive experience: Child absolutely loves it, trainers are great. Just app is malfunctioning but it has nothing to do with a training itself. Lots of events for kids which is great,but can be confusing as many emails comes in that is not for your child's group.

Thank you for your kind words! We're so happy to hear your child loves it and that you appreciate the trainers and events. We understand the app issues and email confusion can be frustrating—we'll pass this feedback along to improve communication. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

O Hoare 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Our boy 4 started his journey during the summer holidays at a Na Fianna camp, absolutely loved the experience with Martin and his team who made him feel absolutely welcome and encouraged him to try everything, at the end of his week he was begging us to start classes as in his words he wants to "be a real life ninja and do awesome spin kicks like Martin!" Martin and all his team instill values, like self confidence, resilence, self control whilst making learning fun enjoyable experience I could recommend a better option than Na Fianna for any boy or girl a real family orientated experience

Negative experience: I just want to express my feelings regarding this trainer and the business. I had my son signed up for classes after he saved all his pocket money to attend these classes so he really wanted this but to say he was massively let down is an understatement. I paid for two months of classes which consisted of me training my son using a link which wasn't explained but was okay but when it came to training with Martin 2/3 times I was let down which of course devastated My son. The reason why I'm writing this is because the money has been taking out of my account although it was Martin fault 2/3 times (one time is because we thought we had covid).if the money could be returned as you have my details I would appreciate if the money could be returned as you have my details.

Fantastic experience: I just can't recommend Coach Martin's martial arts classes enough, he puts his all into teaching the kids self defence and life skills, all while having fun. Martin's enthusiasm is infectious and I believe this is one of the reasons my son keeps attending. My sons confidence has improved immensely and he's made new friends as well as finally finding a sport he enjoys. He also loves the special events like Nerf wars, family fun day etc. Martin holds at his gym, he always goes that one step above to ensure the kids have a fantastic memorable time at them. If you're looking for a martial arts club to join Na Fianna is definitely the one.

Fantastic experience: In search for a martial arts class, we found Na Fianna. It is more than a martial arts class, a perfect place for your child's holistic development. It was 4 years ago when my boys start with Na Fianna Martial Arts. It has been an enchanting experience through the years. They go to class every week super excited, as they were for their first lesson with Coach Martin. I have seen them growing in their self-esteem and confidence. This has help them at school and other activities. It is really amazing for young people to discover the skills of not only in self-defense but to gain qualities like respecting others, perseverance, discipline, focus which will help them in other walks of life. If you are looking for a someplace where your child can learn martial arts with transferable skills. I strongly recommend Na Fianna and Coach Martin.

Kanak Handa 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Na Fianna Martial Arts is an excellent facility to have in Athlone. Coach Martin and team are amazing with everyone. My son is attending it from almost 5 years and he loves it. The change in his confidence level is great. He enjoy the classes. It has also helped him in other sports and various other skills at times. I would highly recommend Na Fianna as it is a great opportunity for many to not only gain self defence skills but also life skills such as focous, commitment, and the ability to respect others.

John Tynan 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Na Fianna as a great opportunity for any young person to not only gain skills in self defence but also life skills such as attitude, commitment, perseverance and the ability to respect your opponent inside and outside the ring. The manager and staff are professionally qualified to engage with and train young people. John Tynan Monksland Athlone
