Established in 1996 by Kancho Paul Sarginson, the IKK organisation was built up around the success of the Canterbury club, which is in a prime location close to many surround

ing villages such as Bridge and Littlebourne. The main instructors at the club are Kancho Paul, Shihan Russell, Senpai John, Sensei Amy, Senpai Brendon, and Senpai Nicoletta

Hosted in Canterbury colleges sports hall, the club benefits from a wooden floor and its own storage area. It is also out of Canterbury town centre and has its own car park so getting to class and parking is never an issue. The club always gives the students an excellent work out, with the instructors making sure that everyone is both taught their techniques and has the required fitness for their grading. The club has a good turnout with students coming from all other clubs around Kent.

I'm just a bottle, looking for my owner, asking to go home.

Left behind after Sunday lessons over the last few weeks. Please claim if yours!

If these haven't been claimed by grading weekend (27th June) they will be binned.

Good luck to Charlie and Nieve who are competing in the KWF World Tournament in Spain today. It is full contact knockdown tournament, they have trained extremely hard and deserve to do well. Being selected to represent Great Britain as part of Team GB is a great achievement in itself. Keep up the good work.

Great day at the BKG Open on Saturday for team IKK.

After a very busy spring for most of our team, we took Lara and Harry to Crystal Palace.

Lara earnt 2nd place after needing to move up a weight category (her category was empty). Great experience and made new friends along the way.

Harry gained 3rd place in his catagory, which was his first experience of competing in a big tournament and managed to finish his last fight in quick 38 seconds! 👏🏻

Amazing work from our fighters and we're really proud of them and the hard work they've put into this.

Thank you to .kyokushin for hosting another great tournament and we look forward to next time 👊🏻

Starting thursday off with a little throwback from summer 2003!!

I don't have many pictures of me training as a child, so this was a happy surprise 😅

Not sure why I'm in a t-shirt, I can only guess it was a hot day...I can remember how hot it would be if you was stood in the window with the sun shining on you 🫠😎 and in the winter how cold it was, especially if you had to train in the back hall 🥶

Canterbury classes as always tonight 👊🏻

Juniors 6-7pm
Teens and seniors 7-8.30pm

Busy busy weekend!

On Saturday we took a team of seven to the Haito Novice Knockdown tournament, for most of the team it was their first ever experience at a tournament. The team fought hard and supported each other in every round. It wasn't everyone's day but the experience gained and friendships made will last!

At the same time Kadi also had the honour to represent England in the England vs Wales, competing on the clicker team.

She had a great fight against an awesome opponent and loved being part of the team. Clicker is where it all started for Kadi, so it was great to see her take part in clicker once again.

Well done to you all, we are all super proud and big thank you to Senpai Kirk for the support and assistance leading up to and at the Haito tournament.

Now for a couple of quieter weekends before the next busy ones 👊🏻
