Training You In The Art Of Karate And Street Self Defence Since 1983
Hi Folks. Well, what a successful couple of weeks some of our members have had! First Harrison took his Red belt grading and did a superb job. Then Jaycee took her Green belt and did an excellent job (what a kicker!). And finally Kyler (Jaycee’s brother) took his 2nd Kyu Brown belt grade and gave a wonderful display in his […]
Hi All. Last night at the Buntingford Karate Club Sam and Owen went for their 1st Kyu (Brown belt with 2 white stripes) grading. The grading starts with some kick-bag work and then moves on to basics, then kata, then various forms of one-step sparring, then there is self-defence and finally a terminology test. They both excelled at the kick-bag […]
Hi Folks. On Tuesday 1st October Tara and Phillipe went for their Green belts with the Buntingford Karate Club. This was a good grading with only a couple of silly mistakes that I put down to nerves! However, when asked to repeat the part where they had gone wrong they both corrected what they had slipped up on, showing that […]
Hi Folks. Well here are the Father and Son team of Peter and Freddie and, as you can see, they are proudly wearing their new belts. Both students turned in an excellent performance at their grading at the Buntingford Karate Club, and I am sure that they are going to progress very well through their forthcoming grades. Well done guys. […]
Hi Folks. Sorry there has not been a blog of late from the Buntingford Karate Club but apparently there was a problem with the server. Our Rick (who understands these things) has now sorted it out – so I can talk to to you again! Yes, we’ve had some more gradings. This time for Peter and his son, Freddie, who […]
Hi Folks. Martha joined the Buntingford Karate Club with her two brothers (one older (Brogan) and one younger (Charlie)) a few months ago when their karate club closed down. She had obtained Brown belt 3rd Kyu under her old instructor but I wanted to improve her standard before she took a grading with us. Martha and her brothers have been […]
Hi Folks. On Tuesday 5th March Tara and Phillipe took a grading for Red Belt (7th Kyu) in the Buntingford Karate Club – and passed. Both of these students are progressing very well and, despite some nerves, displayed a good grasp of the various techniques that they were tested on. Well Done! Sensei Bill.
Hi All. A big CONGRATULATIONS to Rick for getting his Black Belt. Here at the Buntingford Karate Club there is a minimum of 12 months training for Black Belt after you receive your 1st Kyu grade (Brown with 2 white stripes). Rick should have received his Black Belt this time last year but he’s had problems with his health and […]
Hi Folks. On Tuesday 4th December we had 5 students going for respective Brown belts: John was going for his first brown (3rd Kyu), whilst Ben, Dale, Owen and Sam were going for their 2nd Kyu colours (Brown with one White stripe). The grading for all of them involved some hard kick/punch bag work, followed by a wide variety of […]
Hi there. Last week Rick stepped up to the challenge of taking a second lesson in his Karate career. Rick is a very well organised person and planned out the lesson well before-hand. My advice to students who are going to take a lesson is – always have to much. Rick had an abundance of things to get through but […]
