Training You In The Art Of Karate And Street Self Defence Since 1983
Hi there. Last night (Tuesday) Rick went for his 2nd Kyu (Brown Belt + 1 white stripe) at the Buntingford Karate Club. Rick is a very strong man and he works out with weights at a gym. When he first joined us I had a bit of a challenge in reining him in because of his natural power. However Rick […]
Hi folks. I hope you like the new look to the website? If you haven’t visited us before then you won’t of course know what the old one looked like! But I hope that our many followers will like the fresh look. This has been organised by Rick, and my thanks for him for doing all the techy bit. We […]
Sometimes things just seem to go wrong don’t they? If you have read the website and followed these blogs you will know that the Buntingford Karate Club trains on a Tuesday and Thursday evening. We are not a very big club by some standards but I like to think that we are quality not quantity (and I’m happy with that!). […]
Hi All. At last!! Elisha has gained her Black Belt! She should have really gained her Black Belt back in December but what with illness and studying and exams she was not able to attend as often as she should to warrant the grade. However, she has overcome a lot of obstacles and put in the time recently and was […]
So, two members of our Buntingford Karate Club took their gradings recently at opposite ends of the grading spectrum. Rick has been with us a good while and went for his 3rd Kyu (first Brown belt) and Stuart went for his 9th Kyu (first coloured belt – Red). They both gave exemplary performances and passed with good grading scores with […]
Hi All. Sorry that this Blog has not been that up to date this year. Unfortunately my old Mum fell very ill and was rushed to hospital where she died 4 weeks later of a stomach cancer. In the meantime Sue and I had decided to have a new kitchen installed and the fitting was due just after Mum died!! […]
Hi All. Yes it’s my pleasure to report on another successful grading for two of the members of the Buntingford Karate Club, John and Owen. Both members were so keen to grade and get their new belt colours (orange, shown proudly here in the photos) that they were both suffering from nerves. But when you really want to get something […]
Hi there! Well yes I know that it’s been a little while since I did my last blog for the Buntingford Karate Club, but I have been involved in other projects and Sue and I went away on Holiday to Vietnam. We left the Club in the capable hands of Keith Edwards and I am grateful to him for keeping […]
So, here we are into the New Year of 2015. We had a good response at the Buntingford Karate Club when we came back after the Christmas holidays – they must be working off that Christmas excess! Our newest members are turning up regularly I am pleased to say and, although they are struggling with our Martial Art, they are […]

To any of the members reading this, Sue and I particularly want to thank you for your support this year. Whilst European economies and people have been squeezed the Buntingford Karate Club has increased in […]
