Training You In The Art Of Karate And Street Self Defence Since 1983
Hi Folks. Back in the warm days of Summer the Buntingford Karate Club took part in the 2016 Buntingford Carnival. This carnival happens every two years and attracts about 10,000 people to our little Hertfordshire town. We were very pleased to be invited again and got offered a prime time spot of 2pm. Once again the members of the Buntingford […]
Hi Folks. Owen and John (see last Blog) started together and have matched each other’s progress. So, following on from John’s recent grading success Owen was able to take his own grading at the Buntingford Karate Club for Green Belt recently and lifted his level of performance by a considerable amount from the last time he graded. As you can […]
Hi Folks. Isn’t it nice when someone gets a just reward? Well John certainly got his at his recent grading with the Buntingford Karate Club. John can best be described as being just “a nice guy”. He’s never pushy or showy and got quite a surprise when I told him that he ought to take his next grade (green). He […]
Hello Folks. Sorry about the lay off from blogging but Sue and I went to New Zealand in February and I quite got out of the Blog habit! So, Ben took and passed his purple belt (5th Kyu) a few weeks back and I told him then that if he put in some extra effort then I would grade him […]
HI Folks. Here’s an interesting story…one of the Buntingford Karate Club’s Black Belts was recently invited to go along and watch a training session at a Judo Club (that is out of our area). He turned up and was asked if he would join in. He said that he would. He had taken his Karate Gi and his black belt […]
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 All. If you are of an age where you can go into a pub and you would like to join the Buntingford Karate Club for a celebratory Christmas drink then be at the Crown Pub at Market Hill in Buntingford after 9.00pm on Tuesday 22nd December. See also our Closure Dates under the “About Us” Tag. Cheers. Sensei Bill
Hi Folks. From time to time people come to visit our training sessions at the Buntingford Karate Club, sometimes they are spies from other clubs (whom I usually spot as such within seconds of them arriving) but more often than not they are other Martial Artists, usually with a Karate background who come to see what we do and how […]
