To be recognised by business professionals is very humbling. This was followed up with two further awards for which we remain very humbled.\u00a0Karuta comes from a form of Japanese armour worn during the\u00a0feudal\u00a0era. Athletes in all disciplines and sports must wear kit to compete and when they do so they enter into battle against an opponent or team.<\/p>\n<p>At Karuta the garments that we produce are durable, just like armour, but also stylish enabling our athletes to be confident when competing. Here at Karuta we use the latest materials and fabrics. We constantly communicate with experts on the latest technological advances in sportswear and also provide an in house design service so that you are able to personalise your \u2018armour\u2019 how you wish.\u00a0We provide a full leisure, training and travel range for your club or team to compliment the \u2018armour\u2019 you wear whilst competing.<\/p>\n<p>Karuta supplies Professional and Amateur Sports Teams as well as Schools, Colleges, Societies, the Military and Organisations. We also feel honoured to have supplied national teams in a variety of sports so we feel we know what athletes and supporters want which is high quality garments at sensible prices. This is what we deliver. We want to build relationships with our clients so that they receive what they want. Our UK manufacturing base enables us to produce our high quality sportswear.<\/p>\n<p>Contact us at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:info@karuta-sportswear.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"0\">info@karuta-sportswear.com<\/a>\u00a0to discuss your requirements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beach Rugby Wales and Karuta have signed a multi-year partnership that will see Beach Rugby Wales and the brand working closely together on and off the pitch, as Karuta become [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beachrugbywales.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beachrugbywales.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beachrugbywales.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beachrugbywales.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beachrugbywales.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3584"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/beachrugbywales.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3584\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3598,"href":"https:\/\/beachrugbywales.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3584\/revisions\/3598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beachrugbywales.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beachrugbywales.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beachrugbywales.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
