    Hello,
    I know it seems like an obvious question but theres no sticky for it. I've decided I want to do some sort of Martial Arts class for the summer and I'd like reccomendations please. I often work evenings so it'd best if it was on during the day, perhaps weekend afternoons or something. I have no idea what type of Martial Art, I've never really done any before. I live in Knocklyon, which is D16 and I don't have a car so it'd need to be relatively local.
    Thanks.

    Ok, did some research. There are Tae Kwon Do classes in Tallaght, Templeogue and Terenure. Tallaght and Templeogue only do night classes and Templeogue is closing for most of the summer. Damn.

    Turns out my college has a Tae Kwon Do society too, although obviously they're not running for the summer.

    Not 100% sure of what you'd be into, but theres a Kenpo place in Templeog which is very close to where you're based. Kenpo is good for fun, fitness and a bit of Self-Defense.

    If you're more into MMA theres a place in Firhouse - best person to talk to would be Colm O'Reilly.

    Don't think theres anything on the RBSD (reality based self-defense) or Combaitves side of things in that area.

    Cheers,

    B.

    Woops, shouldn't have said that. I'd a few scopes last night. Normally I'd never slag off anyone else's M.A.'s style.
