Training You In The Art Of Karate And Street Self Defence Since 1983
Hello Folks. Sorry about the lay off from blogging but Sue and I went to New Zealand in February and I quite got out of the Blog habit! So, Ben took and passed his purple belt (5th Kyu) a few weeks back and I told him then that if he put in some extra effort then I would grade him […]
HI Folks. Here’s an interesting story…one of the Buntingford Karate Club’s Black Belts was recently invited to go along and watch a training session at a Judo Club (that is out of our area). He turned up and was asked if he would join in. He said that he would. He had taken his Karate Gi and his black belt […]
Hello Folks – a MERRY CHRISTMAS to all our viewers from the Buntingford Karate Club. Last night (22.12.15) was our last training night before Christmas and the New Year so I gave a very light lesson before we finished early and headed for the local pub. One of the exercises was our version of Chariot Racing – good for the […]
Hi folks. Well they say that you get an orange for Christmas and Kyler has been no exception. Since his last grading in August he has put in a huge amount of effort to lift the standard of his karate. When you consider that Kyler is the youngest member of the Buntingford Karate Club his progress has been quite remarkable. […]
Hi Folks. Last Thursday evening (3rd December) we had another grading for Owen and John who were going for 7th Kyu Yellow Belt, and Ben, who was going for 5th Kyu (Purple).

See also our Closure Dates under the “About Us” Tag. Cheers. Sensei Bill
Hi Folks. From time to time people come to visit our training sessions at the Buntingford Karate Club, sometimes they are spies from other clubs (whom I usually spot as such within seconds of them arriving) but more often than not they are other Martial Artists, usually with a Karate background who come to see what we do and how […]
Hi Folks. Well I knew that it would happen one day, it was just a matter of time. When Harry first joined the Buntingford Karate Club he took his training very very seriously and was constantly asking me “when can I take my next grading?” so that I had to rein him in a bit. Harry also joined a local […]
Hi All. Just to let you know that I have just received a letter from Edwinstree School whom we rent the gym from for use as our Dojo. The School have decided that with effect from 1st April 2016 the cost of the hire of the gym is to go up. Unfortunately this will have an immediate knock-on effect for […]
Tuesday 10th November saw the first ever lesson given by our 2nd Kyu Brown Belt Rick to the members of the Buntingford Karate Club. Rick decided to hang his lesson around some of his favourite techniques.
