Institute Krav Maga Cork

Institute Krav Maga Cork has been a fixture in Cork since 2006, built from the ground up by Arthur Dziadkowiec. Arthur’s background blends nearly two decades of hands-on teaching with a suite of qualifications in Krav Maga, tactical knife defence, and functional strength coaching. His approach has always focused on practical self-defence, awareness, and mindset, with an emphasis on preparing students for real-world situations. Alongside Arthur, the team includes instructors who hold expert-level ranks and keep their skills sharp through international programmes and ongoing professional development. The academy’s training is broken down by age and need, with separate classes for adults, teens (11–15), and kids (6–10), as well as sessions specifically for women’s self-defence. The adult programme covers practical self-defence and fitness, while the kids’ and teens’ classes blend confidence building with age-appropriate martial arts. Private training is also available for individuals or small groups seeking focused attention or flexible scheduling. For those interested in teaching, Institute Krav Maga Cork offers a structured instructor course, running intensives that combine hands-on coaching, teaching practice, and feedback for those aiming to lead classes themselves. Classes run throughout the week in a purpose-built facility at Deanrock Business & Technology Park, and drop-ins are welcome. The school also works with local organisations for corporate and school training, and hosts regular seminars, including dedicated women’s self-defence workshops. Over the years, more than 3,000 students from Cork and further afield have come through the doors, reflecting the academy’s commitment to practical, high-standard self-defence for all ages.
