Traditional Japanese Martial Arts for Adults and Children in Navan, Co. Meath

Traditional Japanese Martial Arts train the mind as well as the body to endure all.

At Genbukan Navan Martial Arts dojo we teach children the value of manners, discipline and respect. We teach adults awareness, confidence and self defence for all situations. We are a very old Martial Art and continue to teach the old ways. Children must learn how to escape from danger and know the difference between right and wrong. A clever Martial Artist does not need to fight but knows how to defend themselves when there is no other option.

The Martial Art we teach is called Genbukan Martial Arts and our dojo name is ‘Genbukan Nitten Dojo.’

Our children classes have a relaxed atmosphere but are dedicated to imparting knowledge and good manners while learning self defence with fun and games in a traditional environment.

At Navan Rugby Football Club where we train, our classes are structured exactly the same as our head dojo in Japan (Honbu). You do not have to be big, strong or very fit to start Martial Arts you just have to walk in the door.
