The International Karate Organisation (IKO) Academy of Guyana has launched its official website – www.ikoacademygy.org.

According to the World Karate governing body, the IKO, which has its headquarters in Florida, USA, the new site has been designed to allow for a positive user experience for its present and incoming Karatekas in Guyana and is intended to strengthen its status as the premier karate organization in that South American territory.“We are thrilled to launch our new portal for Guyana,” said IKO President, Shihan Adrian Ellis, 8th Dan Black Belt. “It is part of the IKO’s growth strategy; we are proud to present this dynamic online resource to the people of that country,” he added.The website, which has an intuitive layout, reflects the organisation’s innovative essence with the ability to share all of the site’s content on its other social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.

It contains excellent photographic and video features and is jam packed with karate information on its content sections, including recent events, plans and programmes for the future of karate in Guyana, and club activities.

The launch of this website comes at a time when karatekas from all over the world are preparing to compete at the next Olympic Games scheduled for 2021 in Tokyo as the sport of Karate-do makes its debut at these world games. It should be noted that Okinawa is the birthplace of Karate-do.
