MARTIAL ARTS
On Monday the 24th of October and Tuesday the 25th we, as a year group, took part in a martial arts course.
On Monday morning everyone met in the halla nua. We all sat down and were introduced to two people that came in from a martial arts club in Bray. The first part of the course was learning about when to use self defense and when it is okay to fight someone back or what is the correct thing to do in different situations. This part of the course was extremely beneficial and important for the rest of the course. The man, Darragh also showed us many videos of different attacking and self defense situations.
On Monday afternoon and all day Tuesday we were doing physical work. I knew before we started that I would throughly enjoy it as I used to watch my brother do it. We did many different Types of excercises and then we learned a huge amount of self defense techniques with some as simple as just running away.
I think what made the course so good was that everything we did could help us in the future. When we were practicing it it felt real and I don't think I will ever forget it. Also everyone participated fully and had great fun!
