CLUB NEWS
May 2003
Earlier in 2003 our club was proud to be able to see the addition of yet another DAN
grade to it's ranks, Joe Hamill.
Joe has worked hard over the past few years to improve on his standard of Ju jitsu and his efforts have paid off with the attainment of his 1st Dan Grade.
The grading took place over 2 days at the World Jujitsu Headquarters at Fazakerley , Liverpool.
He has now completed his teaching assessment, which allows him to
fully assist Sensei Watson and Sensei McDonald in class Instruction.
In December of 2003 the club's Instructors went through their coaching assessments.
As a result, Sensei McDonald has been successful in attaining his
Senior Club Coach status.
Sensei Selina Woolcott was also successful, and in doing so has been promoted to Senior Assistant Club Coach.
Sensei Azan Roshan and Sensei Joe Hamill now take up the positions of Assistant Club Coaches.
Congratulations goes to two of the Junior members of the Club, Paul Frew and Jason Miller,
for their promotion to Junior Leader Status.
One last award of 2003 went to Tom Miller for his work on the Club Website.
He has now been officially recognised as the Club's Website Administrator.
During her white belt grading in March 2004 Lisa McKeown was given an award for
Best Front Kick as decided by Sensei Watson who assessed her.
Our next award went to Tom Griffith during his Yellow belt grading in June 2004.
Both Sensei Watson and Sensei McDonald felt that he performed extremely well .
