The original Tamworth Shotokan Karate Club was established in the late 1960’s and was based at the Rugby Club, Wiggington Park. The Club Instructor at the time was Richard Davison. Grading Examiners were Sensei’s Asano and Kawasoe.

The Club eventually moved location to Wilnecote School/Sports Centre and now enjoys good training facilities and a thriving membership. The Chief Instructor is Rob Welsh 6^th Dan who is assisted by three other senior Dan Grades. In recent times the Club has been successful in competition and has notably won the ‘Best Club’ trophy in Kata competition at the Central Region Championships for the last five years (2005 to 2009).
