Are there any Martial Arts classes (Karate) in the North?

My Brother-in-law is visiting with us in October and is a 3rd Dan Black Belt Instructor from Wales and would be interested in attending a meet/class.

There used to be a dojo behind Club Z hotel in Girne. Zen at the Sele restaurant used to train, but I believe he has left now. Ali might be able to help you though.

Markyboy. I am so glad that you had some sound responses as above as I feared that one of the majority of us wizened old farts would have to respond simply to be polite. Have no idea how lethal a 3rd Dan Black Belt can be but I feared volunteering as somebody who can jump over a dolls house, crush a grape in one hand, and have a black belt in origami. I can coach squash players though. Have a good holiday with family
