Training You In The Art Of Karate And Street Self Defence Since 1983
Dear Student and Member. I have been in contact with Edwinstree School to find out how the Buntingford Karate Club is to go about training when the school gym opens and allows us inside for training. The school have asked us for a risk assessment and here is what I have told them: All members attending must arrive already wearing […]
Dear Student and Member Last evening (Thursday 18th) the weather was kind to us again and allowed us to train again. As Tuesday we trained outside and this will be the norm until the Government advises us further. It was good to see Charlie, Brogan and Kyler back to training and once again Phillipe and Keith arrived. Thank you all, […]
Dear Student and Member. Last night (Tuesday 16th) Sue and I re-opened the Buntingford Karate Club. We were able to do so due to the kind permission of Edwinstree School. We did not enter the school, but instead we were able to use a large tarmac area at the back of the school in front of the school field. It […]
Dear Student and Member As it has been some weeks since lock-down and we have not been able to train at the Buntingford Karate Club I have been keeping my eyes and ears open for any lifting in restrictions. As we are now allowed more time out for exercise activities Sue and I have come up with a plan to […]
Hi all. Hasn’t this lockdown been weird? Do you find it so? I have never had this long away from karate training since I first started in 1971 when I left school at 16. Although I have been continuing with it at home I really don’t like it, it’s simply not the same as training at our dojo. Hopefully though […]
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 […]
Hi Folks. Despite the Government advice that all places where people meet should be closed Sue and I have decided to try and keep the Buntingford Karate Club running for as long as possible. It’s bad enough this virus happening without taking all the fun out of life! However, this will depend on member’s attendance, as we need a minimum […]
Hi Folks. So, here we are with a Corona Virus outbreak which (in my opinion) has been blown out of all proportion. If we look at the figures for “ordinary” influenza (the flu) which circulates the world yearly, going through seasonal cycles, then globally between 290,000 and 650,000 people die each year due to Flu. The Corona virus has come […]
Hello folks. As you can see, some of the members of the Buntingford Karate Club have entered into the Christmas spirit (I have to teach this lot!)(If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em!). Unfortunately, due to sickness and work commitments not all of the club members are here, but they all join me in wishing you a very Merry Christmas […]
To all members of the Buntingford Karate Club – Sorry but the club will be closed on the evening of Thursday 18th July as it is the School Leavers barbecue and party that night. As we normally train with the windows and doors open the noise and barbecue smoke from right outside makes it near impossible to concentrate and train […]
