Welcome - Croeso

The Welsh Karate Union’s aim is to promote the sound physical and mental development of its members through the study of Traditional Shotokan Karate-Do.

The Association was formed in 1995 by sensei Paul Watson 6th Dan. When forming the W.K.U. sensei Watson felt that there needed to be an environment that would allow both himself and every participating individual to personally evolve their knowledge and awareness for Shotokan Karate-Do.

The association has, and is still is growing at a controlled rate allowing the continued quality of instruction based on developing each individual and supported by an extremely experienced team of Senior Instructors.

The W.K.U has a continuous coaching and education development programme to ensure our instructors remain to be among the highest qualified instructors in Wales.

KARATE
Karate is one of the most popular martial arts practiced today.
Karate is for Just About Everyone.
Karate is for all ages and both sexes.
Karate is a great physical workout, no matter how young or old you are, and no matter what shape you are in when you start.
Karate is a way to a better life, not just a method of fighting.
Karate is great for the mind (concentration) and the spirit (emotional stability).

There is no such thing as the perfect martial art. Nor is there any one art that is better than another or all the rest. The art is not better, only the practitioner. But, remember that on any given day, anyone can beat anyone!
