Training You In The Art Of Karate And Street Self Defence Since 1983
HI All. Look at these smiling faces, doesn’t it say it all? Kyler (on the right) joined the club a few years back and has diligently worked his way towards his black belt grading. He now joins his dad, Rick, as a black belt in our club. Brogan came to us from another club as a brown belt and, at […]
HI All. Yes, there were more grades to giveout last week at the Buntingford Karate Club. FIrst was Daezee-Mae who passed to Yellow belt. You should see DM to a side kick and hold her foot and leg out – Amazing! Daezee-Mae is the daughter of Rick and the sister to Kyler and Jaycee, so quite a martial arts family. […]
Hi All. After all the trials and tribulations of lockdown it has been a pleasure to award some more new belts at the Buntingford Karate Club. Both Charlie and Tara have stepped up their levels of training so that they are now very much worth their new belt colours. Things have not been easy for our club members due to […]
Hi All. After a long (due to covid-19) and patient wait Owen received his much deserved Black Belt. Owen is someone that you can rely on and he quietly works away trying to get things just right. He’s been with the club now for a number of years and has proved himself to be a valuable member of the Buntingford […]
Hi Folks. Some further good news from the Buntingford Karate Club. Sam has just achieved Black Belt!! I have a photo in the club’s scrapbook of Sam receiving his first belt in November 2012. Apart for a couple of years whilst he was at University Sam has trained with us twice a week and as regular as clockwork for all […]
Yes, despite the various restrictions that covid-19 has placed upon us the Buntingford Karate Club is still up and running and we have had some successful candidates taking their grades. First up were Tara and Phillipe who were going for their 5th Kyu (1st Purple). We were not able to do pair-up work but I threw extra kata at them […]
Hi Folks. Tuesday (4/8/20) saw Brogan take his 1st Kyu grade under the Buntingford Karate Club. Brogan (it must be said) had a tendency before the covid lockdown of being a bit laid back and sometimes did not give of his all. However, since our karate club has resumed training out on the school field (with social distancing)he has discovered […]
Hi All. Charlie came to the Buntingford Karate Club with his two older siblings: Older brother Brogan and older sister Martha. Over the few months before lockdown Charlie worked towards his 2nd Kyu (Brown belt with one white stripe) and then the pandemic hit. However, Sue and I have been able to open and run the club outside on the […]
Hi Folks. Well, what a successful couple of weeks some of our members have had! First Harrison took his Red belt grading and did a superb job. Then Jaycee took her Green belt and did an excellent job (what a kicker!). And finally Kyler (Jaycee’s brother) took his 2nd Kyu Brown belt grade and gave a wonderful display in his […]
Hi All. Last night at the Buntingford Karate Club Sam and Owen went for their 1st Kyu (Brown belt with 2 white stripes) grading. The grading starts with some kick-bag work and then moves on to basics, then kata, then various forms of one-step sparring, then there is self-defence and finally a terminology test. They both excelled at the kick-bag […]
