Martial arts for kids around D16

smacl · 2012-01-31 13:14:19

I've two girls (7 & 11) that have been doing shotokan karate for a bit over a year, but have become bored of it (as kids do). The older girl also used to do a boxing fitness class with me for about a year, but lost interest once it became more of a circuit class and less about hitting things. Anyone know of any alternative…

Anyone know of any alternative options for kids in the Ballyboden / Rathfarnham area? Looking at Whitechurch boxing club as one option at the moment, but would consider most options. Not so interested in trad Karate, more something where they'd get a good challenging workout that they'd enjoy. I reckon they'd both be up for a bit of light sparring and grappling, once it's in a controlled / safe environment.
