Compound Martial Arts (CMA) was founded in 2016 in North Dublin and has continued to grow into a thriving, inclusive and competitive team that is now one of Ireland's premier martial arts academies. The gym's story began in 2006 at Dublin City University (DCU), where head coach Oisin McCabe founded the DCU Kickboxing Club and later united it with the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class to form DCU MMA. As their competitors grew in number and success, it became necessary to expand beyond the confines of a college club, and thus CMA was born in 2016.
CMA provides high-level martial arts training to kids, teens, men, and women, with a focus on both competitive excellence and personal development. The academy offers Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Kickboxing, Mixed Martial Arts, and Judo, placing a huge emphasis on fundamentals - the secret to the dramatic success of their competitors and the level attained by members in such a short period of time. The gym maintains a friendly atmosphere where beginners and experienced members train side by side, with all techniques taught from the basics up, even to elite competitors.
Head coach Oisin McCabe holds black belts in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, and Karate, and has developed a passionate team of full-time martial artists who appreciate both the competitive aspects of martial arts as sport and the personal development benefits in confidence, fitness, and happiness. CMA is a proud Team Ryano affiliate and has produced multiple national champions in BJJ, kickboxing, and MMA. The academy welcomes competitors and hobbyists alike, with the majority of members training purely for fun, fitness, and self-defence in what has become a second home and central part of their social life.
