Shi Kon Martial Arts was established in 1988 By Steve Rowe and named by his Iaido Instructor Okimitsu Fuji who drew the calligraphy that hangs in the Chatham Honbu Dojo. Shi Kon means 'Warrior Spirit' being the spirit or heart of a cultured Samurai warrior. Shi Kon is the coming together of Steve's training in Karate under the late Toru Takamizawa (he was the Chairman of the Takamizawa Institute of Karate), his Tai Chi training under James Uglow and Ma Lee Yang, his Iaido training under Okimitsu Fuji and Vic Cook and his Jodo training with Vic Cook.

Steve was quickly joined by a host of other top instructors with over a 100 Chief Instructors of 6th dan and above and other groups in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Czech Republic, Ireland and Portugal. Today Shi Kon has full-time Centres in England, Denmark and Czech Republic.

In recent years, awareness of wide gulf of quality standards and safety in martial arts (and sports generally) has become much more apparent. Medway Council and both the Medway School sports Partnerships have been at the forefront of promoting highest standards: there are more CLUBMARK accredited sports clubs in Medway that just about any other region.

Since being in lockdown having the Shi-Kon platform has helped keep Harleen and Param active and I can see how much progress they have been making mentally and physically with their training. The 1-to-1 video calls have been beneficial as having that contact with Mikey and Caz has maintained their focus.

Daniel and I have been training at Shi Kon for a few years. The dojo is always friendly and welcoming, Mikey and the team are enthusiastic and skilled teachers. They have continued training and coaching through two lockdowns with video classes and calls which have been great at keeping us motivated.

Sam has been attending Shi Kon Martial Arts for almost 2 1/2 years, he has progressed well and really enjoys his lessons. The lessons are always fun and energetic, all the children enjoy them and it’s a pleasure to spectate. Mikey & Caz are very supportive and during lockdown have been doing weekly video calls, assessing and furthering Sam’s Martial Arts journey. The Dojo is a warm friendly atmosphere, everyone is family and highly recommended!

Since starting Shi Kon and working closely with Mikey and Caz, I can honestly say that the confidence and focus of Liam has changed for the better. Liam has missed the physical aspect of being in the Dojo but the 1-1 calls and online Kung Fu training has really helped him get through the days and feel better in himself. The welcoming, fun and friendly attitude from Mikey & Caz really shines and we are so grateful for all they do.
