Providing high quality martial arts & fitness since 2004... |
E.S.K.K® Martial Arts & Fitness began life back in March 2004 as a small dedicated karate club in Arlecdon, comprising of only a dozen original members.
Over the years we have grown from strength to strength, becoming one of the most respected and recommended groups in Cumbria, with a growing national and international profile for providing both quality and commitment to all our members. Located on the edge of the beautiful Western Lake District, our group offers a range of regular classes, workshops, courses and personal training for men, women and children of all ages and abilities. Despite our numerous well-established classes around West Cumbria and may hundreds of members, our original class in Arlecdon remains operational to this day as an invitation-only closed dojo, still limited to a dozen dedicated students. |
"The primary goal of our group is to inspire and support people from all walks of life so that through the disciplines we love to share, they can develop, improve and enhance their lives for the better."
