About Sensei Doug Elton
|
|
I began my training in 1979 at Cowan Heights School under
Kenpo black belt instructor Jim Moore. The style of Kenpo taught was the same as that introduced in
Newfoundland by Dave Jackman. I have spent many years
studying this style under several instructors, including
Senseis Mike Foley, Peter Walker, Boyd Cannings, Allan
Humber and Don Brennan. I received a black belt in that
system in 1990.
Following this and under the instruction
of Sensei Don Brennan I explored many avenues of martial
arts, including American Kenpo, Judo, Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing
and Kickboxing. This was all in an effort to discover
the most functional offensive and defensive skills set
to accommodate all the ranges of fighting, the
kick/punch, close quarter, and ground fighting arenas.

In 1996 I co-founded the Mt. Pearl School of Martial Arts
and in 2000 I co-founded The Dojo. Both clubs are still
operated today by my former partners. From 1992 to 2004
I served as secretary/treasurer and president with the
Kenpo Association of Newfoundland and Labrador Inc.
Through this organization I was able to participate in
many seminars and tournaments with a variety of martial
artists and organizations from Canada and the U.S. This
included the World Kobudo Federation. As a WFK member I
gained access to many martial arts resources that have
been instrumental in my growth.
In 2006, I received levels 1 and 2 coaching and
refereeing status with the Council for Amateur Sport
Kickboxing (CASK), gaining valuable refereeing
experience at two provincially sanctioned kickboxing
events. I am currently an executive member with CASKNL.
Also in 2006 I founded Elton's Fighting Systems, a new
venture for me that reflects my high level of interest
in continuing to learn about and teach martial arts.
The martial arts have provided me with tremendous
physical and mental benefits over the years. I know they
can be just as beneficial to you with a little effort on
a consistent basis. It's really not that hard.
