Boyne Valley Martial Arts

Boyne Valley Martial Arts is a traditional martial arts school teaching Lau Gar Kung Fu and kickboxing to children, teens and adults. Lau Gar Kuen ("Lau Family Fist") is a Shaolin-rooted style based on the five animals, with training aimed at developing mind, body and spirit through forms practice, vigorous conditioning and Chi Kung.

The kickboxing classes blend eastern kicking techniques with western boxing, offering practical skills for self-defence or competition as well as a fitness and weight-control workout using circuits and pad-work.

Classes run weekly in Drogheda at the Holy Family Community Centre in Ballsgrove, and in Navan at BT Fitness, with separate sessions for juniors (5-12), teens and adults. The school is part of an international Lau Gar lineage, with regular black sash gradings and courses led by visiting masters.
