Good Dojo

Hellm0

Hi there,
I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a good ninjitsu or kempo Dojo in the city center or Blanchardstown area, looking to get back into Martial arts so classes for Intermidiate/beginner would be best

With regard to Kenpo/Kempo, would you be willing to go outside Dublin or travel a little? If so you might look into http://www.wardkenpo.ie/ in Walkinstown/Drimnagh or http://www.kenpokarate.ie/ in Celbridge.

Theres also these guys http://www.kenpo.ie/welcome.htm in Dun Laoghaire, they also seem to do Kickboxing and grappling.

Theres the club I train in www.rathdownkenpo.com, based in Taney (beside Dundrum).

Theres also thesse guys, who apparently have 3 clubs in Dublin, the main one being in Perrystown.

Anyway, as you can see theres plenty of clubs around. There is more but Im too lazy to go find their websites My advice would be to find which ones are easily accessible to you and then go and train with them for a while.

On another note. If you are interested in something slightly different, I also train in an MMA school down in East Wall. The style is called Kyokushin Budokai and is based on full contact Karate and Judo. Our website is www.mmaireland.com

Hope this is of some help to you,

OSU,

Dave.

Not sure if Kempo is one - but there are a number of clubs at the Coolmine SC - just down from Blanch Shopping Centre - ( the 39 bus from Blanch to Town goes almost to the door )

Gentlemen thank you for your replys(and also for only semi commenting on my mis-spelling of Kenpo...)

Actually its not a mis-spelling. Kenpo/Kempo are both correct, its just that Kempo is generally used when referring to Okinawan or Chinese Kempo and Kenpo is used when referring to American Kenpo.
