CENTURY MARTIAL ARTS has its European headquarters in Dortmund, Germany. As an American company, CENTURY MARTIAL ARTS is a global leader in the distribution of martial arts equipment and sportswear. PUNOK, a renowned brand for karate sportswear, will significantly expand its presence in the Netherlands through this collaboration.

The implementation of this exciting partnership begins in the second half of 2024. From that point on, the PUNOK brand name will be increasingly visible at KBN events, in the media, and directly among athletes. This heightened visibility will help further solidify the reputation of PUNOK and make karate more popular in the Netherlands.

The KBN webshop will also be relaunched soon in close collaboration with CENTURY MARTIAL ARTS. Customers can look forward to an impressive selection of martial arts materials, ranging from WKF-approved karate gis and protective gear to stylish, martial arts-related clothing and accessories.

This new cooperation will strengthen not only KBN but also CENTURY MARTIAL ARTS, setting new standards in karate. Both parties look forward with great anticipation and high expectations to the coming years and the exciting opportunities this partnership will bring.

Stay tuned for the joint projects and innovations that will emerge from this collaboration! KBN and CENTURY MARTIAL ARTS are excited to embark on this journey together and revolutionize karate in the Netherlands.
