looking for a bit of extra fitness training and fancy trying a self-defence martial art. Looking for some advice on what's involved and if they're any clubs around Motherwell.

Done some sport kickboxing, Tukido, Tae-Kwon Do, Sport Karate. No boxing though.
I have had varied experiences training in the different styles and with different instructors. TBH, I think the best way to find out is to pop down to the class and see if it suits you.
As an example, the last class I attended involved a warm-up, series of padwork exercises in pairs, bagwork, clinching and light sparring. Lasted just shy of 2 hours and I was puggled by the end - may be more an indication of my current state of fitness than of the intensity of the class ;-)

Hi Ozzy,
Try here IAKSA I've been a member for about 9 years, it's not mua thia, but if you want to get fit you wont find anything better.
Also, there are tournaments throughout the year that you can enter once you have a bit of experience, but you only fight people at your own level. It is in all honest one of the best styles around. Have a look at the instructors page on the website, and you will see we have a few european and world champions in our ranks.
Cheers,
Crawf

Well, if he doesnt mind taking someone from a Beginner Stage then that would be alright!! 
He doesnt drive a late-spec Dark Blue Classic with gold wheels does he??
If you can have a word with him to see if its cool to see someone who is a novice then I'd be grateful...
If everything is alright then just mail me the contact details on farnanson_2k@hotmail.com, thanks again for letting me know!
Cheers,

Grant,
He doesn't drive a late spec dark blue classic, but I do!
He takes classes of all abilities so being a beginner isn't a problem.
I've emailed you his particulars if you want to send him an email.
Hope you get it sorted.
