Self Defence and Kick Boxing Classes:
I run a self defence martial arts class in Bailieborough on Wednesday nights at 8pm. I have moved my class to the leisure centre “swimming pool” in Bailieborough. I would love if you could advertise this in the paper if you could. It is a practical self-defence class in which you do not need to be flexible or fit in order to train therefore it is for everyone. It is a fun way to learn self-defence and get fit by doing so.
First class is free to all beginners and it has an age limit of over 14 year olds.
If you wish to contact me on further information you can call on 0863398325.
