Welcome to KarateNews.org – A New Voice in the Karate World
KarateNews.org is a new home for karate practitioners who care about more than just repetition and rank. Whether you train for tradition, sport, self-defence or self-development — this is a place for you. We’re here to bring together the global karate community through thoughtful writing, open discussion, and shared experience.
🥋 Our Mission and Values
Our aim is simple: to encourage conversation, preserve tradition, and promote the rich variety of karate across the world — without gatekeeping or ego.
At KarateNews.org, we:
- Promote peaceful, respectful dialogue – no style-bashing, no politics.
- Share insights from all corners of the karate world, traditional and modern alike.
- Champion the voices of every practitioner, not just the loudest or longest-serving.
- Stay committed to human-written content, guided by real opinions and lived experience.
📰 More Than a Blog – A Hub for the Karate Community
We’re not just a blog — we’re building a news and knowledge hub for karateka worldwide. Here’s what you’ll find on KarateNews.org:
✅ Karate News
Stay up to date with global headlines, especially from the WKF sport karate scene, tournament circuits, and national federations.
✅ Course & Seminar Reviews
We cover key events and invite you to submit your own reviews — to help others decide what’s worth attending.
✅ Event Listings
Looking for your next course? We’ll share upcoming events across styles, with a UK focus but global reach.
✅ Product Reviews
From gis and gloves to books and training gear, we offer honest, practitioner-tested reviews to help you spend wisely.
✅ Dojo Owner Insights
Running a modern dojo is no small feat. We’ll cover topics that matter — marketing, retention, teaching strategies, legal guidance, and more.
✅ History & Philosophy
Understand where we came from, and why it matters. We’ll publish pieces on karate’s roots, classical martial values, and the evolution of styles over time.
✅ Other Martial Arts
We respect the whole martial arts world. Expect to see articles on jujutsu, kobudo, kung fu, taekwondo and others, especially where they intersect with or influence karate.
