TESTIMONIALS

Brilliant place to train! I used to go to the Gym 3-4 nights a week and used to dread going most of the time. Since joining Institute Krav Maga Cork, i now look forward my training sessions. Great instructor and very welcoming members. Couldn't recommend highly enough! Thank you Artur and Team!!

Coaching is unlocking a person's potential to maximise performance" and this club does. Artur and his team are so professional no matter what your fitness level, great group of people train here who help and support you. Great work out and great skill learned. Ticks all the boxes

I trained with Artur for 2 years, 1 on 1 personal training mainly....I can’t recommend him enough! His seminars are also outstanding, each one specific to an area of Krav Maga. This guy is the real deal!

Best martial arts instructor you can have. Will take you to your maximum regardless of your fitness level. Drills are also adjusted based on the level of your experience with a gradual incline in complexity. Highly recommend!

Absolutely love this class. Arthur and Shane are genuinely helpful and encouraging. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a self defence class, to get fit ,have fun and or meet people, this covers the lot. #Addictive

I've tried various martial arts over the years but found Krav Maga for self-defense to be the most practical. I believe that EVERY woman should learn self-defense techniques and Institute of Krav Maga is the best place to do so. ) I can't recommend the place highly enough! 5 out of 5 stars.
