Training You In The Art Of Karate And Street Self Defence Since 1983
Hi Folks. As we are now allowed to have sports outside I asked Edwinstree School if we could use their school field and car parking area. They agreed, so we had our first training for six months (!!) outside on Tuesday evening. Because the clocks went forward an hour the week-end before we started at the earlier time of 6pm […]
As you know, as a result of a recent abduction of a woman walking home there has (quite rightly)been an outcry from women about their safety on our streets. I am not sure what the government (any government) can do to stop this, but I know what women could do to make themselves aware of stalkers and followers, and how […]
Hi All. I don’t know why, but I thought I would look up some information on YouTube on Sensei Hirokazu Kanazawa. As most of you know, I have actually trained quite a few times with this man and, on one occasion at a big training session (about 500 of us) at Picketts Lock Sports Centre in Edmonton, I was asked […]
Hello everyone and welcome to 2021. I am sure that we are all hoping that this year is going to turn out a whole lot better than last year even though we start it with lockdowns. Sue and I are keeping positive. We have a holiday booked for September and we are sure that we will be able to go […]
Hi there everyone! Sue and I Just thought that we would wish you all a Merry Christmas whether you are a member of the Buntingford Karate Club or just someone who likes to read my occasional blog. So far it has been a strange year and for some of us it has been a tragic year if you have lost […]

Yes, I regret that following the decision for a National Lockdown the Buntingford Karate Club is hereby temporarily closed until the lockdown ends and we are allowed back into the school for training. Although schools will be allowed to remain open this does not include clubs who are renting their halls and gyms from them. I had hoped […]
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 […]
Hi Folks. Some good news for you amongst all this covid doom and gloom. Harry, one of the members of the Buntingford Karate Club and who is now living on Anglesey, married his love a couple of weeks ago. There were only 8 of us at the wedding (including the Bride and Groom) instead of the big do that had […]
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. Good News. The Buntingford Karate Club has received permission from the school to allow us to resume training indoors. Quite rightly I had to send the school a Risk Assessment and a Training Policy which was accepted and passed by the school. Accordingly we started training in our dojo again yesterday (Tuesday 1st September). The information for the […]
