BJJA GB Annuals 2010

2010-02-24T10:52:00.001Z

On Saturday 20th Feb 2010 we took two juniors to the BJJA GB annual competition in Walsall.

They both entered the Random attacks and the continuous fighting competitions.

Spencer - Bronze Medal Randon Attacks - Luca - Gold Medal Continual Fighting

Spencer went out in the early rounds of the continuous fighting much to his disappointment. That said he showed the crowds and the officials on the day that he has lots of potential for the future, and maybe it just wasn't his day. However he also entered the Random attacks and eventually lost in the semi finals to a lad who equipped himself really well in that bout. Spencer needed to go early and I know he felt a little disappointed that he didn't do better. But he can feel proud of himself for achieving what he did in his first ever Jujitsu competition, that was a fantastic result.

Luca, like Spencer suffered in one of his competitions where he went out early in the Random Attacks. Again this was Luca's first experience of a Jujitsu competition and this was intended to be a revealing day where he could gain experience and understand some of the pressures associated with competition. After not achieving as well as he wanted in the Randoms I think Luca had a little talk to himself and went full head on with the Continuous fighting competition. This is a competition which reflects on your ability at sparring, randori and ground-work. So what a fabulous result when Luca at just 14 years old went on to win the final and along the way he disposed of two Black Belts.

This was a fantastic day with plenty of really good competitions and some fantastic sportsmanship being displayed. Everyone who entered should be proud of their achievements regardless of whether they won a final or not. The organisers really made it a splendid day and the whole event was run smoothly and on time.

A great day - with some great results

Well done Luca and Spencer you can both be very proud of yourselves, we at the club are proud of you.

Poole Bushido Ju-jitsu Club is based in Poole Dorset and have produced some of the best martial artist around.

As members of the United Nations of Jujitsu and BJJAGB (British Jujitsu Association of Great Britian) we are affiliated to an associations established since 1960.

BJJAGB are National Governing Body for Ju-Jitsu in Great Britain. This organisation is officially recognised by Sport England (part of the UK Sports Council) and by the International Ju-Jitsu Federation, the JJIF. and are also associated with the Central Council of Physical Recreation (CCPR) and with the National Coaching Foundation; Sports Coach UK.

The British Ju Jitsu Association GB National Governing Body has been providing instruction and Governance in the martial art of Ju-Jitsu in the United Kingdom for many years now.

At Poole Bushido Ju-jitsu, we have the United Nations 2008 Ju-jitsu Champion & British 2008 Ju-jitsu Champion plus other medal winners from many other competitions.

We have been established for more than 10 years and during that time we have earnt respect from many other martial art instructors and club across the UK, Europe and lands far across the globe.

At Poole Jujitsu we continue to teach traditional jujitsu based on an established syllabus being used by the majority of celebrated jujitsu clubs in the UK.

As a friendly and family focused club we encourage students of all ages to attend our club and encourage a disciplined but friendly and caring environment. This is to ensure that all students have access to well rounded teachings, whilst maintaining basic credendtials such as respect for others and the essential self respect.

We also encourage all of our members and students to travel with us to courses, competitions and events across the country. Every student attending these courses will learn new skills, meet new friends and become a member of a very big family where we all care about each other. These attitudes seem to be in decline sometimes in the wider world, so it is re-assuring to find old fashioned values being encouraged.

Please come and see us if you want to know more information, or leave a message here if you would like to ask questions.

Don fought in the Capital Punishment event over the weekend at Southampton.

He was fighting under Thai rules and won the first two rounds. His opponent however, managed to score more knees during the third round which meant he actually manged to peg Don back to a draw.

This came as some surprise to most of the crowd and including his opponents own corner who thought Don had done enough to be awarded the win.

Although the crowd voiced their opposition to the decision, it was after all, the decision. But that's the way it goes sometimes and Don as always, was the perfect gentleman in accepting the decision.

Don is now in training for his next mma match-up bout at the end of the year.

So keep coming back for the latest news.

Train Hard

2009-05-20T12:27:00.004+01:00

I am amazed at times at some people who turn up to train in a martial art.
They go through the movements, they seem to follow the instruction.
However when you actualy watch them they are just going through the motions.
No effort, no enthusiasum, no energy, no sweat.
And then they wonder why they are not moving on quick enough.

What I wonder is, what do they get from the lessons.

Why pay good money just to try and escape from any real excersion.

KOKORO KAI & WAKARISHIN Annual course

2009-05-12T12:03:00.003+01:00

Over the weekend I had the pleasure of attending the KOKORO KAI & WAKARISHIN JU-JITSU’S Annual course and competition held at Garons Lawn Tennis Club in Southend-on-Sea.

The event was well organised and on hand were a good number of Sensei's from all over the country, Denmark, Belgium and plus the USA.

It was also a pleasure to see Sensei's Terry and Janet Parker attending the event along side Sensei Martin Dixon of BJJA GB. It really is a good event when you have the main people from the BJJA GB attending your course and also taking part in the competitions too.

The course section was over a period of approximately three hours and really was a privilege to work with so many people with such a vast knowledge and experience of Martial Arts.

Truly a great day and I took a lot away with me from the day.

So a very open thank you to all who made this day possible.

What effect has training in Martial Arts had on your mental outlook?
Do you think you have grown to be more tolerant than you possibly may have been?
Or is it just a case that you change anyway, as you get older?
Maybe you just grow into someone a little wiser or little more empathetic towards others.

Can Martial Arts have a negative response on some people?
Is this due to Martial Arts or their potential instability anyway?

We all have a responsibility to protect our students to a degree, but especially in the Dojo. Therefore, if you are a Sensei or instructor, what signs do you pick up on, that would denote someone as not being the right type of person you would like to teach?
How would you let them know?
Can you detach your personal emotions when making a judgement on a students suitability?
