\nShihan Noblett was one of the founding fathers of Karate in this country, and his contribution to Welsh Karate is immeasurable. Ritchie will be remembered by all those who had the pleasure to train with him as an incredible karate athlete, an innovator in coaching techniques, a very humble man who valued respect, loyalty and dedication in karate and life as paramount. Ritchies’\u00a0 influence on karate will be ever present and he will continue to be an inspiration for generations to come.\u00a0 Rest Peacefully Shihan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
