COVID-19 CLOSURES
WBK Statement: Coronavirus
In light of recent events and issues regarding Coronavirus, we are constantly assessing the situation and monitoring the guidance from Public Health Wales.
We have made the tough decision to close all clubs for the foreseeable future. The WBK is one of if not the best Association around for its standards of karate, discipline, resilience and toughness but also for it’s duty of care and responsibility. Hence why this decision came easy as ultimately the safety and well-being of our WBK community come first.
To all of our dedicated karateka, keep practising and maintain a good level of fitness. All we can ask is for you to do your best in this difficult time. We want to avoid our returns being obstacles.
Thank you for your continued understanding and support. Stay healthy and safe in this uncertain time.

Kyu Grading - March 2020
Congratulations to all of our students from across the Welsh Bushi-Kai for successfully passing their Kyu Grades this morning. Fantastic to see such a busy grading at our new venue. Well done to our Brown and Black belts on completing the Sanbon Gumite course.
A special mention to those students who jumped their first grading, White Belt to Yellow Belt (8th Kyu) - superb achievement!
Thank you to our instructors and assistant instructors for your help once again. Thank you to all the families and friends for your support!
