Cheers!

hi, if you are really interested in self defence go to this site "jujitsu ireland" there is probably a class to suit you at some leisure centre, and the instructors are very helpful and not patronising in anyway and the classes are good.
best of luck0 -
What route do you take home? And do you carry much cash?
I'll look out for ya.0 -
I've just started Krav Maga. I'd hate to be in an attacker's shoes after coming face to face with someone trained in this haha It seems pretty brutal. Here's a link to the website with the instructor's name and number. He runs a few courses during the week in Newtownabbey and Holywood.
I have tried linking his website but as a I don't post much on moneysavingexpert, the site won't allow me. It's www dot freewebs dot com /commando-krav-maga-northern-ireland/index.htm
If you've never heard of Krav Maga, you can check it out on wikipedia0 -
We had someone give an evening class at a police station! He is a self defence trainer. He was excellent and it never cost us a cent.
He said that what private self defence classes teach you through weeks, all we needed to know was taught in an evening. :rolleyes: Plus they charge a fortune.
The moves he taught us were so simple, yet so effective. I didn't know I could push a 15st dummy! (no, not my husband.....:D)
Find out from your local police station if there is someone who gives classes and perhaps get a group of you together.0 -
Would recommend Krav Maga, its simple but effective. Plenty of clips on youtube if you want to check it out. It's the weapon of choice for the Israeli armed forces.0
