    Hello there

    Maybe you's could settle a disagreement. How would you say combat sports rank in popularity in Ireland in order, I'd say

    Boxing
    TKD
    Karate
    Judo
    Kickboxing
    Jiu Jitsu
    Kung Fu
    MMA
    Muay Thai
    Krav Maga
    Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

    Also another point of disagreement is the fastest up and coming martial art / combat sport, I'd say MMA others say Muay Thai, your thoughts please.

    I would imagine that both kickboxing and TKD would be far, far more popular in terms of numbers than boxing and judo.

    MMA is definitely the fastest up and coming though.

    Muay Thai, not many clubs or instructors but interest is growing
    Kung Fu
    Jiu Jitsu
