Europe's largest Martial Arts Tournament The Irish Open has evolved into the NO 1 Tournament in Europe, nothing compares to the energy and excitement and enthusiasm which the fighters get from this truly amazing event, it is a spectacle to behold and unique in its energy and vitality and definitely not to be missed or experienced in your Martial Arts career.
The 2010 IO Event saw 32 Countries attend with over 2,150 fighters from all over the world on the mat. We had TV coverage from Setanta Sport and RTE and it was covered in several international magazines. We had the greatest fighters in the world today converge on Dublin to see who really is the best.
All teams must be FULLY registered on or before 28th February. ABSOLUTELY no late registrations will be accepted.
This is one of the few remaining tournaments that continues to have white belt (beginner), Green Belt (Intermediate) and brown/Black Belt (Advanced) divisions, separated by weight/height. This truly gives your students a rare opportunity to compete against international fighters of the same level.
We look forward to seeing all our friends at what is a very unique get together of the worlds most talented Martial Artists.
