About us
The English Karate National Governing Body (EKNGB) is a new official organisation responsible for the governance and development of karate in England. Founded to unify and elevate the standard of karate across the nation, we are committed to supporting athletes, coaches, clubs, and officials at every level.
Our mission is to foster excellence, inclusivity, and integrity within English karate – whether for grassroots participation, national competition, or international representation. Working in partnership with sporting bodies and global karate organisations, we aim to provide clear leadership, high-quality events, and a strong pathway for progression.
Together, we’re shaping the future of Karate in England.
