Training You In The Art Of Karate And Street Self Defence Since 1983
Hi Folks. Martha joined the Buntingford Karate Club with her two brothers (one older (Brogan) and one younger (Charlie)) a few months ago when their karate club closed down. She had obtained Brown belt 3rd Kyu under her old instructor but I wanted to improve her standard before she took a grading with us. Martha and her brothers have been […]
Hi All. It’s been a while since I last wrote for the Buntingford Karate Club, and in that time the format for how I write my blogs has been up-dated/altered. I had to ask Rick (our resident computer wizard) how to use the new format…so here’s hoping! Four things have happened in the Buntingford Karate Club: Harrison passed to Orange […]
Hi Folks. Last Thursday I got CJ to take a Jo training lesson for the Buntingford Karate Club. CJ can be seen at the back in the first picture shown below. The Jo is a four feet long staff about the same thickness as your average broom handle. The real ones are usually made of either red or white Japanese […]
Hi Folks. On Tuesday 5th March Tara and Phillipe took a grading for Red Belt (7th Kyu) in the Buntingford Karate Club – and passed. Both of these students are progressing very well and, despite some nerves, displayed a good grasp of the various techniques that they were tested on. Well Done! Sensei Bill.
Hi All. A big CONGRATULATIONS to Rick for getting his Black Belt. Here at the Buntingford Karate Club there is a minimum of 12 months training for Black Belt after you receive your 1st Kyu grade (Brown with 2 white stripes). Rick should have received his Black Belt this time last year but he’s had problems with his health and […]
Hi Folks. On Tuesday 4th December we had 5 students going for respective Brown belts: John was going for his first brown (3rd Kyu), whilst Ben, Dale, Owen and Sam were going for their 2nd Kyu colours (Brown with one White stripe). The grading for all of them involved some hard kick/punch bag work, followed by a wide variety of […]
Hi there. Last week Rick stepped up to the challenge of taking a second lesson in his Karate career. Rick is a very well organised person and planned out the lesson well before-hand. My advice to students who are going to take a lesson is – always have to much. Rick had an abundance of things to get through but […]
Harrison has been with us for a number of weeks, quietly working away at learning his karate with the Buntingford Karate Club. He joined with his Dad who recently passed his 3rd Kyu Brown Belt (see Nev and Dale pass their gradings 19/8/2018) and it is very nice to have a Father and Son combination in the club. Harrison demonstrated […]
Hi All. This Tuesday and Thursday saw Tara, Jaycee, Phillipe and Kyler taking their next belt grades at the Buntingford Karate club. Tara, Phillipe and Jaycee were all going for Orange (8th Kyu) whilst Kyler was taking his Purple and White belt (4th Kyu). It’s one of those things, that members can perform fantastically in a “normal” lesson and can […]
Hi There. These two students have only recently joined the Buntingford Karate Club. Well….in Dale’s case that’s not strictly true. You see Dale joined with his father Pat a few years back and then left us because the family moved away from the area. Then, out of the blue, I get a e mail from Dale saying can he rejoin….and […]
