Thank you to all who attended the course on Saturday

at Nottingham University

 

 

 

 

 

 

Andy Roosen, 5th Dan, was visiting from the Soloman Islands where he is now living. It was good to welcome Andy back to the UK and we hope it will be one of many courses we can put on together.

 

 

GROUND WORK (Ne - waza)

 

We will hold workshops looking at this in depth in the near future.

As part of the dan grade syllabus we are working on ways to master the transitions from standing techniques to ground techniques to introduce the basics of control and how to maintain a superior position on the ground.  As with all aspects you need to get your opponent into a vulnerable position.  As you practice the techniques on the ground try to maintain a sense of fluidity by staying  relaxed and using your strength to your fullest advantage.  Try to control at least one part of your opponent then work to expand your control.  Flexibility in applying techniques is the key.

 

JU JITSU

 

Darren Kershaw 3rd Dan Ju JitsuDarren is helping to expand our syllabus at Frederick Gents Sports Centre South Normanton, so we can all benefit from sharing knowledge of our respective martial art. 

 Darren has been involved in martial arts for 14 years, mainly in Ju Jitsu under instruction from Sensei Bob Sims 5 th Dan (Shin Ki Ju Jitsu Club), through teaching his students the various forms of Ju Jitsu, i.e. throwing, joint locks and take downs.

Hopefully we will gain a deeper understanding of Ju Jitsu and incorporate it into our system.
