Hi,
I am living in Rathangan, just looking for some contacts for martial arts clubs in Kildare. I can only train on weekends, so if anyone knows clubs that train on weekends I would appreciate it.

Why can you only train on the weekends?.

If thats the case your really going to struggle with any style IMO.

If you don't have time for any physical training at all during the week, then there's not a chance in hell your going to do anything constructive in whatever style you choose, you'll struggle through training while all the other beginners will fire off ahead of you - you'll become dis-illustioned & will most likely throw in the towel.

Sounds harsh I know, but while most styles of Martial Arts are great fun they're also very tough, both physically & mentally and training once a week just won't cut the mustard.

If however your doing some physical training mid-week consider giving two of those nights to a M.A. club, you'll still get a physically demanding workout.

Be selfish with your time & efforts, if you want to learn Martial Arts give up something mid-week and just go for it, and I promise when you find the right club & become a little more experienced you'll realise how nieve it was to think you could learn a Martial Arts style once a week.

Of course I'm open to debate on this, most likely someone will totally contradict this, but generally you'll need more time.

Combat Kickboxing in Prosperous train Mon, Wed and Friday. Friday might suit you, but Firidays is a fighters sparring class.

Iv'e heard theres some martails arts in the sports center in Naas on saturdays but I don't know who or what style.

I work as part of a 24hr shift rota mon-fri, so I cannot commit to training in a class say, every Wednesday night. I do a fair bit of physical excercise and have received a purple belt in Judo as an U16 and did a couple of years in boxing when I was a teenager. I just wanted to see if there is anywhere that could cater for me as my shift changes or on weekends.
Thanks for the replies so far
