Training You In The Art Of Karate And Street Self Defence Since 1983
Hi Folks. Last week Harry came along to what might be his last training session with us for quite a while. Harry joined the Buntingford Karate Club as a white belt when he was still at school (and when he was considerably shorter than what he is now) and it was my pleasure to eventually grade him to Black Belt. […]
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 […]
Yes Folks, it happened again! Once again the Buntingford Karate Club was invited to give a display at this very prestigious carnival, one of the biggest in Hertfordshire (and possibly England). With some 10,000 visitors on the streets we gave our display to a big crowd, and I am pleased to say it was warmly received. We do not have […]
I have just added a new page called “Zen”. I have done this because last night one of my students in the Buntingford Karate Club was not performing up to his usual high standard. When I asked him what was wrong he explained to me the problem. I told him to leave the dojo, dump his mental baggage, and then […]
Hi All. A chance to blow my own trumpet here…. Last week in this club I was teaching a group of students some basics, in this case it was Yoko Geri Keage, the side snapping kick, when I noticed that some (not all) of the students were not doing what I was instructing them to do. It was to do […]
Hi Folks! Just to wish you a Happy New Year and to hope that you all had a very Merry Christmas. At our last two training sessions at the Buntingford Karate Club we took our usual Manic Christmas photos….so here they are. I wonder how Father Christmas and his Reindeer got in there? Sensei Bill.
Hi All, sorry once again for not blogging that often, but as it is that time of year for running about like a mad thing I haven’t had time. Add to that the fact that Sue and I had a trip to Japan in November and you can see how difficult things got…. However, yes we went to Japan. I […]
OK, I know it’s not Japanese food but if you live in Buntingford then it’s the closest we can get! We all toddled off to the Heron Public House in Standon. Having said that, we had a great meal which was DELICIOUS. The Buntingford Karate Club had 15 members attending (with 2 guests) giving a total of 17. A great […]
Hi folks. Before Christmas I announced that we intended to re-instate an old custom at the Buntingford Karate Club by having our club Christmas dinner in January! To that end I gave out two dates for members to get back to me as soon as possible. These were for 13th or 20th January (both are Fridays). As I only received […]
Hi Folks! Yes, let the members of the Buntingford Karate Club and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. At our last two trainings of 2016 we again went a little potty with the Christmas hats and other head attire! And on our last Thursday Andrea made us some lovely cakes which were served […]
