Junior Club Waiting List

For safety reasons I am limited to the amount of students that I can have on the mat at any one time.
 
Due to the popularity of the junior club at the moment I have had to start a waiting list of children waiting for places.
 
New students are still welcome to come along and watch to see if Jiu-Jitsu is what they are looking for and if so have their names put onto the waiting list or if they contact me with their details I will add their names.
 
I am sorry that we have had to do this but the safety of the students comes first.

Senior Training

Starting January 2012 the senior club will be open on Thursday evenings as well as Tuesdays.
 
Thursday training will be from 8.15pm until 10.15pm.
 
The extra evening session is subject to attendance, if there are not enough students turning up to warrant the extra session then it will close.

New Junior Club Title

In July 2009 a new junior student was awarded the title of Senpai (Senior Student).

Shihan Wood said that the new Senpai received the title not just for being the highest junior grade but for his attitude towards his training and his ability.

This is only the second time that the title has been awarded at the junior club.

The new Senpai received a certificate, a new belt with a black stripe through it and a new Gi with his name and title on it.

Dan Grade Promotion

In December 2008, Soke Richard Morris (10th Dan) Graded Renshi Colin Wood from 4th Dan, to 5th Dan, and promoted him from the title of Renshi to the title of Shihan.

Gladiators and stuff

The junior students that are invited to attend the extra training sessions are going to be given the opportunity to do gladiator fighting (using padded staffs while balancing on a stand) on a regular monthly basis.

The club has purchased new head guards along with body armour to make this as safe as possible for the students, in addition we will also be supplying gloves and gum shields to all the students taking part.

We hope that if this is success we will be able to develop it on to include other weapons as well as using the pads for some free sparring.

Soke Richard Morris

Shihan Wood and all the students and Instructors from Milton Keynes Jiu-Jitsu would like to congratulate Soke Richard Morris on his promotion to 10th Dan, a well deserved promotion given to the best Jiu-Jitsu Instructor that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting or training with, I hope that we have many more years of his leadership and instruction.
