Training You In The Art Of Karate And Street Self Defence Since 1983
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.

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.
Yes Folks, it was the Bi-Annual Buntingford Carnival on Saturday 18th June and once again the Buntingford Karate Club were asked to put on a display. Nine of the members were able to take part with my wife Sue handling the props – and there were a lot of props! We never do a traditional Shotokan Karate demonstration because the […]
Hi Folks. Back in the warm days of Summer the Buntingford Karate Club took part in the 2016 Buntingford Carnival. This carnival happens every two years and attracts about 10,000 people to our little Hertfordshire town. We were very pleased to be invited again and got offered a prime time spot of 2pm. Once again the members of the Buntingford […]
Hi Folks. Owen and John (see last Blog) started together and have matched each other’s progress. So, following on from John’s recent grading success Owen was able to take his own grading at the Buntingford Karate Club for Green Belt recently and lifted his level of performance by a considerable amount from the last time he graded. As you can […]
Hi Folks. Isn’t it nice when someone gets a just reward? Well John certainly got his at his recent grading with the Buntingford Karate Club. John can best be described as being just “a nice guy”. He’s never pushy or showy and got quite a surprise when I told him that he ought to take his next grade (green). He […]
