Who we are

Focus Martial Arts (FMA) was founded in 2000 by Daragh Bolton. Daragh had been running his club in Stillorgan since 1995 under the banner of different martial Arts organisations but wanted to create a more well rounded system offering his students a new dynamic modern 21st century martial arts style. this new style HAD to incorporate realistic self defence methods as opposed to the dates ones being taught in traditional martial arts clubs. The combination of Kickboxing , Taekwondo and Self Defence appealled to Daragh so he spent 6 months developing syllabus, brand, uniforms, grading process etc and the result....Focus Martial Arts was born!

Since 2000 FMA has produced over 35 Black Belts, a small number in comparison to many other clubs in the world but we strive on quality, not quantity. Our Black Belts can take anywhere from 5-9 years to achieve depending on your training programme and frequency.
