Krav Maga (Self Defence) - Weekly Adult Class | Gaelscoil Uí Fhiaich
Sports & Fitness
Experience the art of Krav Maga at our Maynooth club's adult self-defense class. Join us for a trial class to get a taste of this powerful form of self-defense, and if you're hooked, continue your training with our weekly classes. Beginners are more than welcome to join! This class is exclusively for adults aged 18 and above, giving you the chance to try training with us and experience Krav Maga before committing to a membership.
Our classes are suitable for both men and women. In fact, we offer a dedicated curriculum for women called "Stay Away," which supplements our main curriculum. All three of our instructors are certified to teach this program. No prior martial arts experience is necessary. Krav Maga is a unique discipline that will tap into your existing skills, should you have any.
Fitness level is not a barrier to joining our classes. Our sessions are designed to challenge participants regardless of their fitness levels. When attending your first class, wear comfortable workout clothes such as a t-shirt, tracksuit, and trainers. Don't forget to bring a bottle of water and a small towel.
A typical class consists of a rigorous warm-up, games and drills to prepare you for the lesson, partner work for specific techniques, and finishing drills to practice what you've learned. At the beginning, no special equipment is required, but over time we recommend investing in a good gum shield for safety.
Our prepaid model offers great flexibility. A pack of four classes costs €50, and each time you attend a class, one class is deducted from your pack. We'll remind you to purchase more classes when you're running low. This system has proven effective, especially for those with shift work schedules.
While we don't currently offer women-only classes, our mixed classes provide a unique advantage. Training with individuals of different sizes and strengths enhances the effectiveness of the learning experience.
For individuals interested in progression, we offer optional level tests. We typically hold 1-2 gradings per year, providing a great challenge for those who want to push themselves. Ranks range from Practitioner 1-5, Graduate 1-5, to Expert 1-5.
Join us at Gaelscoil Uí Fhiaich in Maynooth and empower yourself with the art of Krav Maga. Book your spot now for our upcoming class on 9th January 2024, with tickets priced at €12.50. Don't miss this opportunity to learn valuable self-defense skills in a supportive and empowering environment.
