IKK Folkestone Karate and Martial Arts Club
Folkestone karate club is one of the oldest martial arts clubs in Folkestone, established over 25 years ago by Shihan Paul Sarginson.
All of the Folkestone classes are well supported by the students and the many brown and black belts that train here regularly. The club is proud to have produced many fine black belts, instructors and tournament champions. In addition the club is home to a wide range of both junior and adult knockdown fighters.

Classes take place in the main hall, a large, light and airy training facility for karate with plenty of lighting. The staff at the venue support the club in every way. It also has its own car park so getting to class and parking is never an issue. It is in a good central location in Folkestone with excellent access to local areas such as Hawkinge, Cheriton, Capel, Sandgate, Seabrook and Hythe.
