I am in the final stages of developing a social networking site, specifically for all those who enjoy the martial art of karate. I had noticed that many of the clubs around the UK do not have a website and if they do, the sites often do not offer much of chance to meet other karatekas and interact via blogs, forums, etc.

All people have to do, is register on the site, it is free. Then they can set up a profile and start blogging, and joining in the forums right away. The connections facility within the site, allows all the registered members to see everyone else registered on the site. Members can make connections and send each other messages.

The members can suggest sections for the site, which could be just for their specific club, so club members could choose in essence to have their own website within the karateka site. The site will not be specific to any one style of karate all variations are welcome and hopefully members from the different styles can share experiences.

The site will hopefully function as a focal point for members to post information about events right across the UK. We hope to see the site grow and expand over the coming months. However, this will be the case if people take up the opportunities and actually start populating the site.

So if you are based in the UK and interested in karate and have come to this article by chance get along to

www.karateka.co.uk

Spread the word and hopefully we will see the site become a great success.
