HI All. Yes, there were more grades to giveout last week at the Buntingford Karate Club. FIrst was Daezee-Mae who passed to Yellow belt. You should see DM to a side kick and hold her foot and leg out – Amazing! Daezee-Mae is the daughter of Rick and the sister to Kyler and Jaycee, so quite a martial arts family. […]

Both Charlie and Tara have stepped up their levels of training so that they are now very much worth their new belt colours. Things have not been easy for our club members due to […]
