Kickboxing or similar in Swords or surrounding areas

fbfan78

I know there have been a few forums similar to this but alot of them are very dated, Basically im interested in finding out if there are any kickboxing classes or similar in the swords area or surrounding areas, I know about the karate classes in the school and have heard of Aikido classes too but more interested in the kickboxing style training,

Im hoping to find a class in this area becasue lets be honest if its too far away i wont train and if its all the grappling and throwing i wont fancy it too much either ..

any help would be great looking to get started up as soon as poss,
cheers

Theres a back road stright to Ashbourne from swords but you can also try a good friend of mine who has Kickboxing classes in swords too. His name is Jimmy Courtney and he runs Phieonix Martial Arts on the Feltrim road. Not sure of his times but he trains some great lads there and holds irish and world champs too.

yeah there another good club but i wasnt aware they did kickboxing i thought they just did Thai but they are also very good club and they have mark casserly out there who is a pro K1 and thai champ too so they would be well worth checking out. best of luck with your training anyway.

Peetrik

I think Mark Casserly teachs Muay Thai out in swords. Training in Thai will either get you fit or kill you and Casserly just won a world K1 title so he knows his stuff.

[EDIT] Ah just noticed the above post, too much sun apparently. Sorry for repeating

Peetrik

I'd just go down and have a gander if I were in your postion then or better yet just drop in and try out a class. Get an idea of if its the type of training you were looking for, find out about class times etc

Hows it going
I've been training now with the mugendo club in chanel since i was enquiring about it on here, my next question is where can I buy some decent foot and shin protection, i tried blitzsportts but there out of stock for the decent ones and have been for ages now, and ebay and amazon have all sorts that are cheap enough until you add on the postage costs,,
if anyone knows anywhere in Ireland/england that supplies decent gear at a reasonable cost it would be greatly appreciated

CIARAN_BOYLE

not kickboxing but I've bought most of my martial arts gear at Mullens Martial Arts on the corner of Mary Street and Campbell street

That said I'd ask your sensei/coach because they are likely to know what you need and where you can get it

Cheers man,yeah one the coaches said to try that place on Capel street havnt had a chance to pop into him,, but just from talking to a few lads they seem to think its pricey enough, the gear the club recommend is top ten which are well pricey too was just hoping someone might of sourced some cheapish decent gear to get me started and I can pick up the better quality stuff as I progress.

scottie pippen

Hey man, I train there as well. but I have been out with a injury the last few months.

Sensei Alan can order top ten gear, its is pricey but definitely worth it.

for gloves, spend a few quid if you can, but if your on a real tight budget,
get some everlast gloves from argos, they will be under 30euro.
top ten or top king are worth the money


get shin pads & a cup from Mullen sports on Mary st.
cup will be a 10euro, shin pads will be 12, the brand is fite right.(cheap but ok to get started)
the shin pads will be like a neoprene sock, these are better than the ones with straps, they don't move about to much.

head gear, I wouldn't buy cheap, best go with top ten, they are designed really well, they do a good job of keeping the sweat off your off your face, I used a cheap brand to begin with & my head was melted, and kept getting sweat in my eyes. the one pictured here is the one I use.



Foot pads - Blitz sport have a decent pair that are very reasonably priced

They where 1 of the best in 1990, not these days, them stupid head guards slip off constantly and their is way better ones around now..

scottie pippen

@ Cowzerp, what brands of headgear are worth checking out?

I seen sap had one very similar to the top ten

Everlast and Adidas have good ones-even the cheap brands are quite good now, better than top tens anyway-for competition i favour the adidas ones, For training due to expense i get top pro ones and they are basically the same thing without the badge that is necessary to be used in Boxing, it costs a lot of money to get tested for that-so same headgear for half the price really

JohnNightmare

i know this thread is a tad bit old but i was flicking tru a few different threads and this topic of head gear for kickboxing came up, i was also told top ten was the best also than i was told adidas have a better and cheaper one just wondering is this it.........
