is there any weapons classes in co,kerry or co,limerick

ladylouise

i am looking for martial art classes that teach bo staff or fencing classes.
not in the cities but in the county.or classes that teach sword ,dagger.

I'll be opening up a new Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu club in both Dingle and Tralee in September. Contact me via my website in my signature for info and please read the FAQ there as well.

Note, however. that while bo, sword, dagger and other weapons are a part of the syllabus a basic grounding in unarmed training is required first and this takes time. I also need to see if suitable students are attending regularly before weapons are taught.

We have Bo staff in HanMooDo, however you don't really get to learn it until you are at least at purple. So if you're willing to wait around 2 years (you will probably learn nunchaku before staff), you can give it a shot. I would guess the Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu would be more weapons orientated than us and would probably start them earlier.

Fair enough, I'm told thats actually why Young Suk created HanMooDo, his students were doing different styles to learn weapons etc and he wanted to help them have a more unified style.

I think there is a group in Limerick city that do some traditional spanish fencing, but wouldn't a fencing blade look a little odd with a TKD style form?

Oh I see, my apologies I misunderstood your post. I thought it was a bit odd but was curious as to how fencing and asian MA's would go together maybe something like that musketeer movie that Yuen Wo Ping did.

is there any chance of learning the weapons by themselves.

Absolutely none. Weapons are an extension of body movement so you need to learn "body movement" first - that's what "taijutsu" literally means.

I see from your posts that you are wanting to do weapons for some sort of "performance" thing. This is NOT what Japanese budo is about - especially Bujinkan - in any shape or form. So you can't expect to cherrypick this-and -that from Japanese budo. You should read the FAQ at my website or indeed any other Bujinkan website for an indication of where training with us leads. It certainly isn't anything to do with what I gather you're after.

Best of luck though!

Hi,

as far as fencing goes there is a club in UL (http://ulfencing.com/), doing sports (olympic) fencing.
Within the club there is a group doing classical fencing, a different approach to the sport (considering is more as a martial art...) (http://www.skynet.ie/~nvl/lsa/)

Well you looked for clubs in Co Kerry or Co Limerick (Limerick City is in Limerick County) and have been offered several.

I think it might be fairer to say that there is no club close to you that will let you walk off the street and start practising with a weapon. And yet you say it as if it were a bad thing
