Martial Arts in Kilkenny
10 martial arts studios to discover.
Last updated
Kilkenny has ten martial arts studios listed here, a modest number for a city of its size, and most operate from small, purpose-built spaces rather than large commercial gyms. Several carry a perfect 5.0 rating, including Myalo Martial Arts, Budo Martial Arts Centre and Dragons Lair Martial Arts Centre. Kilkenny Shotokan Karate Club and Sullys Gym hold the same score, which reflects how consistently the city's smaller clubs are rated by their members.
The area list for this page came through empty, so no neighbourhood clusters can be confirmed from the data available. Each listing is tied to a specific address instead, which makes it easier to judge travel time from home or work. Below, you can compare studios by rating and location, and read short profiles of each one to see which disciplines they teach.
