There's loads of MA available in cork.
Here's a post from an old thread: http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=58772159&postcount=3

If you are looking for something a bit different I would highly recommend Capoeira:

There's also a group that train in Douglas street but their website doesn't seem to be working.
