The aim of the revamped site is for people who may be interested in learning Martial Arts, as well as a resource for existing students and instructors.

The Karate and Self Defence Club has been based at The Fitness Factory Portland St Newport Isle of Wight since July 1984, under the guidance and tuition of Mark Elliott 5^th Dan.

The core training is Shotokan Karate as the foundation, the club also provides an integration through its instructors and network of guest instructors to other Martial Arts Systems and styles including Goju Ryu Karate, and the Fillipino systems, creating a well rounded martial artist.

I hope as a beginner looking for the benefits of joining a Martial Art Club, or as an experienced Martial Artist visiting the site to see the latest event or information on offer you gain some benefit from this site.

I aim to develop this site with the web designer Foundation Media to provide an exciting resource so please keep coming back or join my mailing list to keep in touch.

Regards

Mark Elliott 5^th Dan Shotokan Karate.
