Introduction

The Welsh Karate Kai was established in 1996, by Chief Instructor Paul Scott (5th Dan).

Starting tentatively as a 2 Club, 65 Member Association, (formerly known as the British Karate Association - Wales), it has now grown to incorporate approximately 11 Clubs. It has a "Full Time" Headquarters, where all Dan Grade Promotions are conducted, Courses are held, Licences are administered and where Club Instructors meet for training & discussion. 

It has recently embarked on an expansion and refurbishment, which will give it a 1800 Sq.Ft. fully matted & equipped Dojo. Also included will be a Gym, Sports Therapy Massage Clinic, Large Open Plan Lounge/Reception and a Café. In addition to all this, a Martial Arts Shop open to the Public, which will include an Embroidery Service, Heat Press & Vehicle Signage.

It is a "Full Member" of the Welsh Karate Governing Body, the only "Sports Council for Wales" recognised Governing Body for Karate in Wales.

The change of name in 2007, was to ensure that its "Welsh Roots" were formally identified and follows as a result of it's established reputation within the Karate Fraternity Worldwide, its continued success within Competition, both in the UK & Internationally and its regard as an Association of integrity & merit.

As a Traditional Wado Ryu Association, "Welsh Karate Kai" can offer a variety of Courses, Competitions, Instructor Training, Grading or Promotion opportunities to all its Karateka. Its Grading Structure has a comprehensive and extended Syllabus and offers a formal Physical Grading system up to and including 4th Dan.

 

The Welsh Karate Kai offers its Members, a good balance. Preferring Leadership to Dictatorship, Independence to Isolation, Accreditation to Non-Qualification, Promotion to Stagnation and Success to Failure.
