Sensei Bill becomes an Author
Yes, you did read that correctly. I have written an all-action story that I have called VENGEANCE and I have had it published on Amazon. It’s a good long read at 714 pages and people who have read it so far have described it as “Exciting”, “Well Researched” and “A real page turner”, which I am obviously very pleased about. […]

Charlie gets his Black Belt
Hi Folks. You might remember Brogan? Well, Charlie is his younger brother. Charlie is a quiet lad who quietly gets on with what he is doing.

A Purple Belt for Daizee-Mai
Hi Folks. Yes, the Buntingford Karate Club’s own pocket rocket went for her Purple Belt grading on Thursday and passed. Daizee-Mai, the sister to Kyler (who took a recent highly successful karate lesson), is something of a medal-winning gymnast. We are not surprised in the least, because she appears to be made out of rubber! It is a real treat […]

This father and son pairing took their grading for green belt at the Buntingford Karate Club last Thursday and showed good control and fine spirit. There is (quite naturally) a good spirit of competition between these two which pushes them both to train hard at their karate – and […]

Orange Belt for Finn

Finn had been having a bit of trouble straightening his back leg in Zenkutsudachi (front stance), but it all came good in the grading. Overall, Finn put in an excellent performance and one that he can be proud of. Well done […]

Successful Gradings for Daizee-Mai and Chantelle
Hi Folks. Yes, it’s been another successful grading for two students of the Buntingford Karate Club. They took their grading on 24/2/2022 and both young ladies passed with flying colours.

Hamstring Injuries and How to Avoid them.
Hi All. First…HAPPY NEW YEAR! Now, on to the topic of Hamstring injuries. As you can see from the pictures your Hamstrings are a group of 3 muscles that run the length of your upper leg, and sometimes we martial artists can pull, rip or tear these. Depending on how much damage you do will result in how painful or […]
