The Newport Karate Centre

Welcome to The Newport Karate Centre, providing Traditional Shotokan Karate-Do training at affordable prices.

2020 grading dates at Beaufort Community Centre

Tuesday's March 24th, June 23rd, September 22nd & December 22nd

Can all members of TNKC please note that myself and Sensei Kerry have decided, in line with the Welsh Traditional Karate Federation emergency meeting today relating to COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak, to suspend all further lessons from Monday 16th of March through to the 2nd of May.

Note we intend to resume from the 3rd of May so our first training session back will be on that Sunday. Understanding we were close to grading, we have also decided to hold our next kyu grading this Sunday the 15th of March. We appreciate this is short notice but please understand we are following the advice of our governing body and those taken by other sporting institutions.

Further note our intention to resume on the 3rd of May is a provisional date and may be subject to change given the circumstances. We hope to see you there but in absence of that do take care and look forward to seeing you all soon.
