Sensei Eamon Lawlor founded Irish Martial Arts Academy with a simple vision: build a better community, one black belt at a time. A 5th Dan black belt and former world champion competitor, Eamon has led students of every age from their very first class through to representing Ireland at the WAKO World Championships.
Today the academy fields a team of up to 20 students competing nationally on a monthly basis — while still keeping every class welcoming for total beginners.
