YorkJitsu

This August through October York Town Jitsu Club is working with the City of York Council to provide a fantastic opportunity for young people to try Jiu Jitsu.

Due to another commitment for Sensei Stephen Millard, the session being held on Monday the 26th of July at YTJC will be taken by Sensei Jessica Young.  Sensei Young has covered a number of sessions recently and as usual it promises to be an interesting session.

Through July and August this summer (2010), YTJC will only be running classes on Monday evenings.  These months are traditionally quieter with many taking the opportunity for a well deserved summer break.  The cost of hall fees simply prohibits running the classes twice a week during this period without effectively doubling session fees.

Monday sessions will continue as normal through this period and Friday sessions will be reinstated on Friday 3rd September 2010. 

Sensei Millard is unable to take Monday night's session due to work commitments.  Sensei Jessica Young who covered another session earlier this year will be covering the session in his absence.

Sensei Young is a former YTJC student and has trained regularly with a variety of instructors across the region.  Her last session was very popular so make sure you don't miss out on this opportunity to get another perspective on Jitsu.

Revised details about the imminent Yorkshire region grading are now available.

The grading will be taking place in Leeds on the 19th June 2010 and the start time is 10:30.  The hall is booked until 15:30 so this will be the latest finishing time.  Lower grades may finish earlier and will as usual depend upon the numbers grading and the structure of the grading as outlined by the grading examiner.

The YorkJitsu web site has been unavailable for a little while.  Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused but the issue with our hosting provider has now been resolved.

The YorkJitsu site has been down for two and a half hours this morning to carry out essential maintenance work.  Over 22,000 files were backed up from our web server and almost 3,000 files updated.  The updates have just been to bring the software used to run the web site up to date and are not intended to provide any notable new features.  If you do notice any issues with the operation of the site, please let us know.

 It's time once again for a regional course. This time Sheffield University Jitsu Club are hosting and the visiting instructor will be Sensei Tony Finding.  The course will run from 11 AM on Saturday the 22nd May 2010 and will cost about £15.

Please inform your instructor if you wish to attend.

Due to a death in the family Sensei Millard will not be able to take this coming Monday's YTJC session.  Instead the session will be taken by a guest instructor - Sensei Jessica Young.

Sensei Young began her Jitsu career as a junior at YTJC and has been involved with numerous clubs in the Yorkshire area.

Whilst there will no doubt be similarities in style (Sensei Young used to be taught by Sensei Millard), the difference in size and approach will no doubt make this session invaluable for club members.

Even though it is bank holiday Monday on the 3rd May, Jitsu in York will be on as normal at both the University and city centre clubs.  Times are the same as normal and we hope you'll be able to join us.
