World-Class ATA Taekwondo Lessons in Ireland – Developing Confidence, Discipline, and Physical Fitness for Ages 4 to Adults
Welcome to Mango Martial Arts Academy
Here at Mango Martial Arts Academy, we believe Taekwondo is not merely a sport. It’s an art of becoming stronger, more self-assured, and more concentrated in all aspects of your life. Our vision is to introduce professional ATA Taekwondo instruction to Ireland, enabling children, youth, and adults to take advantage of the true benefits of martial arts.
We’ve established a friendly dojo where all students feel at ease from their first class. You don’t have to be an experienced athlete. Our qualified instructors work with each student through controlled, progressive training that develops coordination, balance, and fitness progressively.
We practice the ATA International curriculum, enabling students to learn under an accredited system with a defined belt ranking. Throughout, students learn discipline, respect, and perseverance — values that transfer throughout school, business, and life.
Regardless of your aim — fitness, self-defence, or personal growth — Mango Martial Arts Academy is committed to assisting you in becoming a stronger version of yourself.

Program Overview
ATA Taekwondo Programs for All Ages and Skill Levels
ATA Tigers (Ages 4–7)
The ATA Tigers program is designed to introduce young children to Taekwondo in a safe, positive, and fun manner. Children learn how to listen, pay attention, and stay focused with short, exciting drills. Balance, coordination, and confidence are encouraged in every class while teaching kids to respect others and teamwork.
Our Tigers classes are structured to help kids work out their energy in a healthy environment. They learn to achieve milestones, be proud of their effort, and recognise the value of discipline — all while having fun. Parents enjoy seeing their child’s concentration increase, and children enjoy returning every week to acquire something new.
ATA Martial Arts Kids (Ages 7–12)
For children of school age, Taekwondo is an excellent means of developing focus, confidence, and perseverance. Through our ATA Martial Arts Kids program, students learn important life skills as well as martial arts strategies. Stretching, self-defence drills, partner drills, and lots of movement are included to develop strength and coordination.
We strongly focus on respect and camaraderie. The students are taught to help each other, deal with adversity patiently, and remain motivated at each belt level. These are the attitudes they acquire here that carry over to improved concentration, confidence, and attitude at home and in school. Each student is motivated to move ahead at his/her own pace and to cherish each accomplishment.
ATA Teens and Adults (Age 13+)
Our teen and adult Taekwondo classes bring fitness, self-protection, and stress reduction into one complete curriculum. Perfect for an active lifestyle, enhancing flexibility, and developing unwavering confidence in all aspects of life. Training is accessible to all levels of experience — from absolute beginners to black belts.
Each level combines practical techniques with conditioning drills and mental concentration. Over time, students experience higher energy levels and confidence. Taekwondo is more than a physical workout — it’s a means of clearing the mind and restoring balance to everyday life. This program provides long-term benefits to anyone who wants to become more fit, learn self-defence, or introduce a healthy element to their lifestyle.
