    Hi
    anybody know any clubs in Drogheda (Kung Fu/Karate/Jiu Jitsu/Judo) that are good?

    I don't mind what style I'm just looking for a good class in the town.

    There's a sports shop on Stockwell street that deals with martial arts, they should be able to point you in the direction of a good class. If you hear of any Kung Fu classes let me know please!

    There was a flyer up advertising wing chun (kung fu) classes there, I mailed the guy and he wrote back to say he'd written to all the gyms in Drogheda and the few that got back to him said they had no space for another class. :(

    Just joined Martial Arts club in drogheda. Great place. Got into it through my kids who do kid's Aiki-Jutsi classes there. They also teach kickboxong and have some great sucess at internation level. Sticking to the Adults Aiki-Jitsu classes myself though. Not into the competation stuff myself. Great fun . If anyone wants more info here is their website www.droghedamartialarts.com
