    Hello, I am on here to look for a martial arts coach to train me for 1 on 1 lessons to improve my self defence as I got jumped by a few lads in my area and i released that I do not know how to defend myself in any way and I am open to learn any martial arts but I am looking for coaches in Newry area for 1 on 1 lessons to teach me to defend my self in the arts.

    Hi,

    Check out Paul Devenny in Warrenpoint. http://www.fightingways.com/wpmu/ You can also find him here on facebook. http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=100000727646069

    I used to travel up to him every Saturday from Blanchardstown leaving at 6am and getting back at 6pm. (No car so a combination of buses, trains and taxis) Anyway it was well worth the effort.

    Alternatively 45 mins in a car will get you to Belfast. http://www.wingtsun-ni.com/

    I don't know how you are fixed for transport, but if you don't mind a drive I would recommend you contact Niall Keane who teaches in Navan Co. Meath. I know he teaches one on one as well as a Sanshou class on Saturdays (all levels welcome).
    He has won several international competitions himself, and a number of his students have gone onto winning British Open etc. this is just to say that his style is very effective, but check out his website for yourself:

    From a self defense point of view; I'd say go join a club where you have the option to spar for real, rather then just take a few private lessons from an instructor.

    For self defence training, a group class is best. You need to have physical consistent interaction with different people / shapes / sizes. One-on-one is great for fitness training, but there's only so much you can do with only an instructor and no fellow trainees to work with.
