Due to the success of our first class, we are excited to announce that we will be running a new Women’s Striking & Self Defence Course starting on Monday 5th January 2026 and is now open for registration. If you are interested in joining the course, please sign-up.

Thanks to funding from the Local Enhancement Program awarded by Louth County Council’s Local Community Development Committee, we were able to develop a dynamic course tailored for adult women of all experience levels, who require only a willingness to learn & move.

The aim of the course is to help individuals stay calm under pressure, defend themselves, improve fitness, build confidence & connect with others. Participants will practice striking techniques (punches, kicks, elbows, knees), footwork, timing & situational awareness.

Our experienced instructors will include female World, European and National Kumite Champion Lily Sheeran

All classes will take place in the Holy Family Community Centre, Ballsgrove, Drogheda, Co. Louth Google Maps on Monday nights from 8pm – 9pm for 10 weeks.

We will invite you to a free taster class to get a feel for what’s involved and see if it’s for you before you commit to the full course & pay the course fee of €10/class (€8.50/class for students/unwaged). Payment options of Revolut, Card or Cash will be provided to those wishing to proceed.

For safety, regulatory and legal reasons, registration is required before you start the course (including the taster class) so please complete the sign-up form in advance.
