Training You In The Art Of Karate And Street Self Defence Since 1983
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 […]
Hi Folks. As my wife Sue and I are now aged 62 we thought that we would like to take up Tai Chi. I did a short course of this some years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it finding it a useful addition to my Karate Training. A couple of years ago we went to Viet Nam and had the chance […]
Hi Folks. There seems to be a rumour going around that the Buntingford Karate Club is to close down in about 18 months time. I would just like to say that I have no plans at all for closing down the Club and, if I ever do, the Club members will be the first to know about it personally and […]
Hi All. We had another grading at the Buntingford Karate Club last night (Thursday 2nd November). This was for Rick who was going for his 1st Kyu. Rick does a lot of gym work and power training and so he gave the kick bag part of his grading (see the 1st Kyu Syllabus) short shrift! I certainly would not want […]
Hi All. Last Thursday saw Harry’s last training night before he went off to Aberystwyth University. Harry has been part of the Buntingford Karate Club since 2010 and gave a commitment to this club to train hard and diligently. He became a very trustworthy member of the club and has been quick to volunteer for our various demonstrations and carnival […]
Hi out there! Well we train ’em to be tough in the Buntingford Karate Club, and to prove it here is a photo of CJ. He has just run through a line of electrified cables! Apart from this, and amongst other things, he had to swim a lake, scale a wall, scramble up a pipe full of mud and water, […]
Hi Folks. It’s been another grading success for two of the Buntingford Karate Club’s members. On Thursday 1st September Kyler and Sam went for their 7th Kyu Red belts. Sam has been away for two years at university and he took the wise precaution of joining another karate club near to where he trained in order to keep up his […]
Hi Folks. Just to prove that we instructors often “get it in the neck”, here’s Keith, the Buntingford Karate Club assistant instructor getting whacked at the recent Buntingford Carnival! Sensei Bill.
