Martial Arts in Limerick city?

kaji · 12-01-2008 03:47AM #1

Hi, I'm moving to Limerick city at the end of the month (near Mary I). Was just wondering of any martial arts clubs that are around? Is there still one across from Bobby Byrnes?

There is BJJ run in Limerick too. I think Fergal posts here..

Waza Kai Jiu Jitsu, 4 Perry St., near Tait Square / Baker's place.
Sensei Mike Carroll teaches street style self defence including standing, ground and knife defence. I can personally recommend this one.
If you're interested it's on tuesday and thursday at 8.

I've trained with Mike Carroll, and am still training with Fergal Quinlan and Ger Healy (when I have the time) I would have no problem recommending any of them, but it all depends on what you want from your training. I would suggest that you take a couple of classes with each of them, see what suits you best. You have Mikes details, ger posted his above, and the bjj in ul was on mondays and wednesdays, but that may change this semester, once i find out i'll post here

We had Ger Healy up teaching in the Galway MMA Summer Camp and he is a very good instructor and an all around nice bloke. A lot of good fighters starting to come out of his camp, so you could do a lot worse than drop down to Ger's place.

first off don't go to the kickboxing class up the road from the icon night club there not the best. Your best bet is to go to waza kai in pery square the trainer there in my Opinion is one of the best in ireland

I think that Robert Ng is running a thai class out in Ger Healy's place. Not sure of the times though.

cletus · 06-08-2008 04:46PM

Sorry to jump in, but Yeah, Combat Sports Centre is Ger's place. AFAIK, Roberts class is on Thursdays, not sure of the time. He also has a class in the school progects, across the road from bobby byrnes on o'colnnell ave. on Fri nights

Liam_B · 06-08-2008 09:02PM

I'd second both ,Ger Healy and Fergal Quinlan, Ger has been coaching MMA guys , with great results. And Fergal is one of the most technical Brazilian Jiujitsu guys I know.
You've got some nice options there ,for Limerick ;-)

Hi Guys,looking to take up Martial Arts in the Limerick area?
What would ye recommend to take up,did some kenpo when i was younger for a few years,
Something both practical and good for fitness.

Tim_Murphy · 18-08-2008 09:22AM

No idea about Kenpo but you won't go wrong with any of the places mentioned above.

Ger Healy · 20-08-2008 09:25AM

Not that im aware of

munster100 · 21-11-2008 04:43PM

luckily there are lots of very good clubs around limerick so no doubt you'll find something that suits you but definitely try a few of them out.

also take a look at

www.galliganstangsoodo.com

these lads have been teaching a long time in limerick and are well worth checking out. classes are very good & the range of different aspects of martial arts they cover is excellent

in the city they have classes wednesday & saturday in the school opposite bobby byrnes but the same group of instructors run classes all over limerick.

danlen · 14-01-2009 05:46PM

sorry lads but could ye just confirm where bjj training takes place in limerick and a possible contact no.? do ye stil know if bjj is done in the university?

MartyMcFly84 · 14-01-2009 10:16PM

Yeah its on the the university (old sports building) on mondays and wednesdays. Cant remember the exact time think its 8

Ger Healy · 15-01-2009 11:44AM

I started training here last week and love it. Very professional set up and very helpful. I have heard good things about Ger Healy too but unfortunately the training in the city centre suits me better.

Ger Healy · 23-05-2009 10:34AM

just a heads up, we are planning on moving the gym http://www.combatsportscentre.com into limerick city very soon, will post more info as the time get closer.

the drifter · 25-05-2009 04:53PM

Hoping to get down to you during the (3 month) holidays Ger, Fergal was talking to me about it. Will it be ready for Rodrigo?

wendycat · 26-07-2010 08:05PM

Some time ago I went to karate inPoland (Kyokushin), unfortunately there is no such type in limerick. So I want to subscribe to something else. Does anyone know of a club which is good? And, of course not too expensive

I don't like MMA, so I don't want to go on such thing. Thanke you

Pat Forde · 26-07-2010 10:24PM

Hi Wendy, no there is no Kyokushin in Limerick but I run several Tang Soo Do classes around the city and county if you are interested. Tang Soo Do is a strong kicking art like Kyokushin but without low kicks, the forms are also very simular. I have had some Kyokushin black belt students in the passed who trained in my classes while working short-term in Ireland.
If you are interested in trying a class my website is www.munstermartialarts.ie or you can call me on 087 2366866.

Pat.

You can go to the Combat Sports Centre and just do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I can't recommend the coach there (Fergal) highly enough.

Can second that! Hes' trained with some of the Best Jiujitsu Guys out there. And very technical guy. You can't go wrong training under Fergal.
