Training You In The Art Of Karate And Street Self Defence Since 1983
Hello Folks – a MERRY CHRISTMAS to all our viewers from the Buntingford Karate Club. Last night (22.12.15) was our last training night before Christmas and the New Year so I gave a very light lesson before we finished early and headed for the local pub. One of the exercises was our version of Chariot Racing – good for the […]
Hi folks. Well they say that you get an orange for Christmas and Kyler has been no exception. Since his last grading in August he has put in a huge amount of effort to lift the standard of his karate. When you consider that Kyler is the youngest member of the Buntingford Karate Club his progress has been quite remarkable. […]
Hi Folks. Last Thursday evening (3rd December) we had another grading for Owen and John who were going for 7th Kyu Yellow Belt, and Ben, who was going for 5th Kyu (Purple). All three showed a good command of the syllabus required of them and, although there were the usual small mistakes, they all put up very competent performances. Ben was […]

Hi Folks. Well I knew that it would happen one day, it was just a matter of time. When Harry first joined the Buntingford Karate Club he took his training very very seriously and was constantly asking me “when can I take my next grading?” so that I had to rein him in a bit. Harry also joined a local […]
Hi All. Just to let you know that I have just received a letter from Edwinstree School whom we rent the gym from for use as our Dojo. The School have decided that with effect from 1st April 2016 the cost of the hire of the gym is to go up. Unfortunately this will have an immediate knock-on effect for […]
Tuesday 10th November saw the first ever lesson given by our 2nd Kyu Brown Belt Rick to the members of the Buntingford Karate Club. Rick decided to hang his lesson around some of his favourite techniques.
Hi All. One of the things that I do is teach one-off Self-Defence classes…but imagine my surprise when I was asked by Sarah Homan, the leader of the Buntingford Brownie pack, if I would give a talk and demonstration to the local Brownies. The Pack Leader explained that the girls were hoping to win their Japanese Badges and that some […]
Hi All. In the lead up to getting his Black Belt I asked Harry to take the lesson for the Buntingford Karate Club. Harry responded with an action packed lesson that certainly had the members sweating! It was a good balanced lesson and both Harry and the members enjoyed it. Harry gave them a wide range of combination basics and […]
