    Hi Guys,

    Anyone aware of any good karate or judo clubs in South Dublin? I'm from Dundrum and work in blackrock.

    Cheers

    There are several Shotokan karate clubs near Dundrum run by the WSKF. Look up their website for details of the nearest one to you, or the one that suits you best. It's a very good organisation with excellent instructors.

    Niall Malone runs a very good Wado-Ryu karate school in Monkstown. Details here.

    Best of luck!

    +1 for East Coast Jui-Jitsu Academy (ECJJA)

    I am new enough there and the guys are brilliant, you wont find a more welcoming atmosphere. The coaches Tom, Chris and Darragh are excellent - all highly decorated in international competition - but more importantly passionate about teaching their art.

    Given you are in Dundrum there is another top class place there (Gracie Barra) - run by Chris Bowe, also an elite level competitor.

    So you are spoilt for choice really!

    PS - dont think there's judo near you, Paul Cummins in Walkinstown is probably the nearest. Unless UCD have a club still running (?)

    I know it's not karate or judo but there is a San shou club in Deansgrange. It has striking and throws combined. Just google YMAA ireland, I have never been there but they compete in competitions, which indicates they are Not a Mc Dojo.
