YorkJitsu

The annual Shihan Memorial course will be held in Keighley on the 18th September 2010 at the Holy Family School.  Set-up will begin at 11:00 with the course running from 12:00 until 17:00.  A number of senior instructors from around the country will be teaching at the event which includes training for both adults and children.

The training course will be followed by a masquerade ball for juniors.

Details of this event can be found on the event's Facebook page.

 The Yorkshire Jitsu Regional meeting will be taking place on Saturday the 4th September 2010 in Leeds.  An agenda has been circulated and all club instructors or a club representative should be in attendance.

Clubs should provide details of club events, running dates, etc. as provisional dates for all regional events and courses will be agreed at this meeting.

 Sensei Yates will be running a phase 1 nage no kata course in Leeds on Saturday the 11th of September.  The course will take place at the University of Leeds Sports centre and is suitable for purple belts and above.

No times or costs are yet available.

The Yorkshire region is currently playing host to a visiting instructor.  Sensei Jules Robson is up from "down under" and will be running a course on the 15th August.

The course will take place at Leeds University Sports Centre (a.k.a. 'The Edge') between 13:30 and 17:30 in hall 3.  There are no details yet on cost, but we would expect it to cost £10 at most, which is fantastic value for the guy who oversees our Australasian clubs.

 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.

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.

The New Year (and a new decade) has just begun and the break from Jitsu over the holiday period is almost over.

The city centre club is the first back to training and this begins at 7 PM on Monday 4th January.  As ever beginners are welcome at all sessions as are people who maybe haven't trained in a while.  If there are any University club students (from York or elsewhere) wanting to get in a bit of extra training before term starts then you are also welcome to come along to the sessions and get a head start on the coming term's training.

Sensei Millard is unable to teach the YTJC session on Monday the 23rd November 2009.  Arrangements have kindly been made by the University of York Jitsu Club to allow students to train with them at their session.

Training times are the same but students should make their way to the University of York Sports Centre (pay at the desk) rather than St. Olave's School.

YTJC sessions will return to the normal venue from Friday the 27th.

During the summer the normal training venue for YTJC (St. Olave's School off Bootham) is being closed for building work.  From July to September the club will therefore be relocating.  Since the University club doesn't train over the summer months, YTJC has taken up the Monday evening slot at the University of York Sports Centre.

Important things to note:

The adult's grading will now take place at the University of York (not Huddersfield) on Saturday the 21st of March 2009.  The hall is booked from 11 AM until 5 PM though the grading will be held in grade order and lower grades could potentialy finish earlier than 5 PM.
