Kiefer Crosbie Kiefer is a rising star at the Dojo and besides the fact that he has been training with us for quite a while, he is a natural and very talented Martial Artist and fighter. His dedication to training is rarely matched. Kiefer loves all aspects of training but he is especially suited to sparring and competitions. His talent and energy will rub off on anyone training with him. Louise Quinn Louise originally took up Martial Arts and Kickboxing to keep fit and she never realised that she would be making a career out of it. Louise loves Kickboxing & MMA training and sparring as well as talking to everyone at the Dojo. Louise is a great role model because she successfully proves that women can do it too – and just as good. Keith Quinn Keith is one of the most talented Martial Artists ever to have come from our club. However, he doesn’t believe this to be the case and remains very down to earth. Keith loves all Martial Arts but excels at Fighting & Advanced Kicking. So, if you want to train with one of our best and not have to put up with any Bull – Keith is your man. Colm O Griobhtha Colm is unlike other naturally talented Martial Artists in that he also trains hard. He loves all aspects of Kickboxing from Syllabus to Sparring. Colm has speed, strength, technique, flexibility and agility so training with him can only help these qualities to rub off on you. Add to this his confidence and his good sense of humour and you have a mixture that you will find highly motivating. Jamie Lawlor Jamie has risen through our ranks with flying colours. He loves to torture and get the best from everyone. His power matched with his speed make him a very good fighter. Above all, Jamie is very down to earth, so if you are interested in grading, he is the man to talk to. Jamie is also a fully qualified N.C.E.F. personal trainer. Mike Moloney Mike has made one of the biggest improvements of anyone in the Dojo since he joined. He's not a natural although you can't tell now. He is a very hard grafter and he can show you exactly how to do any technique, even the most difficult with ease. He loves to be involved at all levels and he's a very friendly guy. If you find anything difficult then just ask Mike and he'll love to show you how to do it. Derek Foley Besides being a good physical Martial Artist, Derek has one of the best Martial Arts minds at the Dojo. He is great at Martial Arts strategies and knowing the ins and outs of the whole syllabus. Derek loves to practice very difficult kicks & moves too (just ask him what he's working on at the moment). Derek is like a wolf in sheep’s clothing because he likes his abilities to be understated and this also makes him a great instructor. Mark Masterson Mark has been involved in Martial Arts for a long number of years. However, he likes to think of himself as a beginner so that he can maintain his appetite and energy to improve. This makes Mark a great instructor to train with because despite his achievements and physical prowess, he remains humble and modest. Mark has a great approach to Martial Arts that only comes with experience and anyone training with him will benefit hugely. Ray Fermoyle Ray is a very tricky fighter with numerous skills like the 'go-go gadget leg'! He loves the crack of the Dojo as well as the training. He always has a great story to entertain you while he trains you. Just ask him about his near death experience! Ray is a quick and tough martial artist and he's hungry to teach.
