Cowdenbeath Karate Club was founded in 1977 by John Blakely and Tom Hynd.
The clubs first training hall was the former Kirkford Club in Cowdenbeath. After a short period the club moved to the old scout hall and then to Beath High School in 1980. It was at this point that 2 new members joined that would be significant to the clubs future, Harry and Gordon Maxwell.
Later Harry Maxwell left to live in Spain and another brother Neil Maxwell joined.
