Tallaght Martial Arts & Kickboxing Association based in Tallaght, County Dublin was formed out of the Kung Fu tradition in 2004 by Martin Bannon and Dave Heffernan. The club started very small with only 7 enthusiasts meeting once or twice a week to train. The club has grown from this to be one of the largest and most successful clubs in Ireland. It now trains at various locations 6 days per week.

The Club can boast several world and European champions.

Through all its success and change it has managed to maintain a small close knit 'feel' which is palpable on entering the club, Martin and Dave pride themselves on running an extraordinary mix of discipline and a solid training regime in a friendly competitive and fun atmosphere.

Tallaght Martial Arts is a member of AKAI
(Allstyles Kickboxing Association of Ireland)
the governing body for Kickboxing in Ireland.
