CLOSED – Due to Government Orders
Hi Folks. Unfortunately the Government have caught up with us and the Buntingford Karate Club is now forced to close for the time being and until the All Clear has been sounded. Sue and I did not want to do this and it goes against our better judgement but I’m afraid we’ll be damned if we do and damned if […]

Martha gets her 2nd Kyu
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 […]

Libby gets her Purple Belt
Hi All. Some more good news from the Buntingford Karate Club! Last night (5/9/24) Libby went for and passed her 5th Kyu grading and won her Purple belt. Libby, a little bit nervous (she had three of us on the judging panel and was grading on her own) performed an excellent set of quite complicated basics and then followed up […]

Finn gets his Brown Belt
Hi All. A couple of months ago Finn took and gained his 4th Kyu grade (Purple with one white stripe) with the Buntingford Karate Club. I told him when he passed that he put in such an excellent performance and had applied himself so well to his karate that it would not be long before he took his brown belt […]

Finn gets his 4th Kyu (Purple + White)
Hi All. We had another grading recently at the Buntingford Karate club. This one was for Finn. Finn has been very impressive with his ability to learn karate with particular regard to both Kata and Combat. He applies himself to remembering kata and has learned some of the more complicated black belt kata even before he graded for 4th kyu. […]

LIBBY AND FINN SUCCESS
Hi All. Last night (Thursday 18th Jan) Libby went for her Green Belt (6th Kyu) and Finn went for his Purple Belt (5th Kyu) at the Buntingford Karate Club. These two are probably the most laid-back members of our club. In a way this slightly held them back when they graded, because even though their demonstration of techniques were of […]

FAYE GETS HER BROWN BELT
Hi All. Last week Faye took her grading at the Buntingford Karate Club for her 3rd Kyu (Brown) belt. Faye came to us from a club over at Stevenage and has really fitted in well with our club here in Buntingford. In particular, she has amazed us all with her kicking ability – we have a number of members over […]

HARRY GETS HIS ORANGE BELT
Hi All. Sorry I have not blogged for a while but I’ve had some problem logging on (techy stuff). Anyway, at a recent grading Harry took a grading all on his own and turned in a very good performance of his chosen martial art. Harry is only a young lad but he tries with an effort beyond his young age. […]

Dave Takes a Lesson
Hi All. Dave has been with the Buntingford Karate Club for many years and, unfortunately, he has recently had to have a triple hernia operation (not nice!). However, although he cannot train at the present time he did express a wish to take the club for a lesson. Knowing of his long experience at karate I was happy to allow […]

Alastair gets his 1st Kyu
Hi All. The Buntingford Karate Club held another grading on Tuesday night, this time for Alastair. Alastair came to us as a 2nd kyu brown belt from another club. He left his old club because the instructor told him not to ask questions “just do what I tell you”. Alastair’s father, quite rightly, was appalled by this (as was I […]
