The passing of a legend of Welsh Karate

Written by Administrator |

It is with great sadness that the WKGB Ltd announce the passing of a legend of Welsh Karate - Shihan Ritchie Noblett 8th Dan - who died at the weekend.

Ritchie will be sadly missed by all who knew him, and he will be totally irreplaceable in the history of Karate in Wales.

Our thoughts at this sad time go to his devoted wife Liz and his family.

`To search for the old is to understand the new. The old, the new, this is a matter of time. In all things man must have a clear mind. The Way: Who will pass it on straight and well? ' Gichin Funakoshi.
