Save the date! Women in Sport Week, March 8th 2026

The IMAC Women's Committee are pleased to invite female members 16 years and over to the annual IMAC Women in Sport event celebrating females in martial arts.

This is being held Sunday 8th March in Dublin. For the last few years females from multiple systems have come together to socialise and train with each other. In previous years we have had members from Kendo, Ninjutsu and Taekwon-Do, with all attendees getting the opportunity to try out the different styles.

This year we will also have members from Aikido. We would love to have representation from the other systems along with the opportunity to try the art you are passionate about.

To add to the event this year, we have obtained funding to have a professional live action promo recorded on the day.
