Irish Shotokan Academy

Welcome to the Irish Shotokan Academy, a premier dojo located in Tullamore where martial arts thrives in an atmosphere of respect and camaraderie. Under the expert guidance of Shihan Liam Gorman, a distinguished 6th Dan Shotokan instructor, and his highly qualified team, you will experience top-notch training whether you are a beginner or an advanced practitioner.

Our academy offers a range of classes tailored for both children and adults, ensuring a welcoming environment for everyone. Classes are structured to promote not only physical fitness but also the values of mutual trust and respect. The structured training schedule includes sessions for juniors and more advanced students, making it easy for everyone to join at suitable times. Training takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-7 PM for juniors, and from 7-8 PM for purple and black belts, along with a mixed class every Saturday from 12-1 PM.

Beyond traditional karate training, we emphasize practical self-defence skills, focusing on awareness and avoidance strategies which are crucial for personal safety. The academy also frequently shares valuable insights through articles on self-defence techniques, contributing to our community's knowledge and skills.

Join us at the Irish Shotokan Academy to not only hone your martial arts skills but also become part of a supportive family that encourages growth and development in a friendly environment. Whether you're interested in improving your fitness, learning self-defence, or simply looking to try something new, we have a place for you!
