Head Coach
Alan Doyle
Alan was born in Dublin and has lived there his entire life. A dedicated father and an active member of the local community in Dundrum, he got into hand-to-hand combat from a very young age. As a small and skinny child, he wanted to build confidence and make sure he wasn't going to be bullied or picked on in school.
Alan has been practicing martial arts, boxing, kickboxing, hand-to-hand combat, and weapons training for the past 30 years. Alan is trained and proficient in the use of tactical weapons and hostile environment training, having worked all over the world as a close protection officer.
His philosophy in life is 'Treat people the way you would like to be treated'. He is a very outgoing and friendly individual who loves to teach those who want to build their own confidence and learn real-life skills to protect themselves.
