Na Fianna Martial Arts

Na Fianna Martial Arts in Clonakilty offers a comprehensive approach to grappling and striking, guided by founder Oli Smith alongside David O’Donovan for MMA and Colm O’Regan for striking. The school is built on the principles of skill, discipline, and enjoyment, providing a structured environment where practitioners can develop at their own pace. Although the gym’s roots in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are clear, it also embraces mixed martial arts and striking disciplines, reflecting a broad martial arts curriculum. Training at Na Fianna covers a range of classes tailored to different ages and skill levels. Adults can engage in both gi and no-gi BJJ sessions, alongside wrestling and MMA classes. There is a dedicated women’s no-gi MMA class, which supports a focused training space for female practitioners. Youth programmes include kids’ and teens’ Jiu-Jitsu classes, offering fundamental to intermediate instruction in a safe setting. The gym’s schedule also features specialised sessions such as “Dad’s Gi,” catering to adult beginners or those returning to the sport. The facility is located at Unit B in The Railway Yard, Scartagh, right in the heart of Clonakilty. Drop-in options are available, giving visitors flexibility to train without long-term commitments. The academy’s blend of BJJ, wrestling, striking, and MMA makes it a practical choice for anyone in County Cork looking to explore martial arts beyond just the traditional gi classes, with a clear emphasis on well-rounded skill development and community involvement.
