Monday night was busy, with four of our newer students, Mark, Jamie, Jake and Jack taking their first grade, all put on an excellent grading, the syllabus techniques were crisp and clean,along with a good understanding and use in the Kumite and ground fighting, they also had to complete the full circle and half circle Randori making them defend multiple attacks. This gets the mind working faster and shows their ability to keep calm, a major advantage when facing a group. Hopefully if you can stay calm then the situation can be avoided without conflict.
WELLDONE!!!!!! and CONGRATULATIONS!!!! to them all good luck with your future within the martial arts community. once again well done

Helen, from our Lynn club, achieved her 7th kyu this week, overcoming nerves she has trained hard and earned the grade, her techniques were all excellent and then having to fight the men in Kumite and groundwork did well giving them all a run for their money.
CONGRATULATIONS and WELLDONE!!!! to Helen and keep up the good work as the training developes through the grades,
Once again well done

This week saw another 4 of our students take their grading, from our Wisbech club Connor and Max, and from Kings Lynn Nathan and Paul. The grading were held on club nights which is our preferred method as we only grade students when we feel they are ready.
All 4 of them performed well able to complete their syllabus and all other tasks asked of them to a high standard.
Connor gained his Blue belt 3rd Kyu, with Paul, Nathan and Max achieving their first belt 7th Kyu and can now proudly wear a red belt, the standards the club demand are high and yet again our students did not disappoint us.
It is a proud feeling a Sensei gets when they see their students progressing so well, with Connor joining David at 3rd kyu it wont be long before our Wisbech club achieves its first dan grades.
WELL DONE to all who graded keep the warrior spirit alive so once again Congradulations!!!!!!!!

This Friday Darren took his 4th kyu (Green belt). having had a few months off he returned recently and soon dropped straight back into it, remembering all he had done before, and with some intense training was ready to grade, he worked extremely hard during the grading which took place at our Wisbech club in leverington village hall, able to complete his syllabus kumite ground fighting and randori to a high standard.
CONGRATULATIONS to Darren!!! a well deserved belt.

A recent grading session saw 3 more students gain their next kyu grade.
Ian from our Wisbech club gained his 6th Kyu, Yellow belt, a worthy testimony to him having returned after an injury, showing true JuJitsu spirit and determination. From our Kings Lynn Club Fred and Steve worked hard and gained their well deserved next belts. With Fred moving on to is 4th Kyu, Green, and Steve achieving his 5th kyu,Orange.
