A brilliant day at Bushido today that was filled with incredible efforts.
Sensei Paul took the Freestyle Students . The Kata section failed to find any fans and Sensei Paul switched it up and engagement improved.
The Jiu Jitsu students picked up where we left off last week. Basics and increasing understanding of technique. Developing basic single responses into more effective combinations proved to be a massive hit.
The afternoon session was pads, pads and more pads. This is an area that needs much improvement , so today was the first step in achieving the improvement.
Huge props to Ivar and Damian, both these young students stepped up today. Well done to both of them on some great efforts.
Huge shout out to Andy, Rachel and Jayden. The quality of their Jiu Jitsu was stunning at times.
This is the positive start we need after a grading as it sets the tone for the whole period.
With Presentation Night not so far away there are plenty of awards to fight for . This is the 40th Anniversary of Bushido Martial Arts , it promises to be a BIG NIGHT.
Get your tickets EARLY and get ready to party .

A fantastic days training at Bushido today that started great and went on to be awesome.
Every Student gave everything they had from start to finish.
The Freestyle with Sensei Paul was full on brilliance. From basics to Kata and everything inbetween, the pace was relentless.
With Sensei Greg and Charlie back from holidays the Jiu Jitsu mat was on fire. Sempai Terry took the lower graded students Coen and Ivar through thier syllabus. These two youngsters were amazing today and produced some great Jiu Jitsu.
The pace on the other side of the mat though was intense to say the least.
Every area was explored and then intensified to raise the standard and set the bar for everyone else.
Sensei Greg and Charlie were outstanding as more and more focus was demanded and then delivered. Jayden was definitely not going to be outdone and stepped up to the challenge as did Andy who at 7th Kyu was seriously out of his depth.
I said it at the dojo and I say it now, I wish I could have bottled the energy in the dojo today as it was incredible.
Huge props to every student today for an incredible effort.
Next lesson is Monday night… see you then.

Yesterday was not just a grading day, it was also the final time one of our homegrown Senior Black Belts trained with us.
In 40 years of teaching there are a handful of Students who become just that bit more special. Students who give as much back to the club as the club gave to them. Students who become far more than just another Black Belt or Instructor.
Sensei Owen Rowbottom is one such Student who has stepped up and become far more than was ever envisaged. Like his two older Brothers before him Sensei Luke and Sensei Dylan, he has earned a place in my heart that will forever be grateful for having taught him.
Sensei Owen leaves us to begin his life in University and he takes with him all our love and very best wishes.
All his Bushido Family will miss his infectious smile and impressive attitude to tackle anything thrown at him. His understanding nature and incredible ability to communicate with students and Senior Instructors will be missed so very much.
GOOD LUCK Sensei , have an incredible time at University and know that your Bushido Family will ALWAYS welcome you back with all the love and respect you have so very much earned.

Well the final student to grade put all they had on the line today. Rachel was hoping to move up to Blue Belt in Jiu Jitsu and today was her day.
With a rather disappointing lack of Ukes it was Jayden who filled the breach as sole Uke and partner for Ivar.
As the hours ticked by Rachel gave a very measured but interesting grading. From basic Breakfalls, kicks, strikes and stances to throws and combinations she gave it all she had. Locks , stangle escapes, Uke counters and a plethora of defence combinations tested her skills and her resolve.
At the end she successfully added
5th Kyu Jiu Jitsu to her resume.
As I said this was a measured and yet still a focused grading in which she covered a huge amount of skills.
Huge Congratulations Rachel on a very strong grading, and a massive Thank You to Jayden who continues to impress me with every lesson he attends.
Excellent grading , only one more to round off the year.

A very positive September Grading that saw 2 of our newer devotees of Jiu Jitsu take to the mats to hopefully move up one more step on the ladder.
Andy and Ivar both looked nervous as was expected of less experienced Jiu Jitsu students but that nervousness soon evaporated. With Sensei Helen and Myself overseeing the grading we were soon treated to some very strong technique and ability.
Ivar demonstrated some very impressive throws and combinations followed by equally credible locks and strangle escapes. Andy put in a solid and focused demonstration, showcasing some very impressive Jiu Jitsu.
The grading ended with a pad session that drew the last bits of energy they had and they awaited the result of their 3 hour long grading.
Both students were successful in their endeavours each attaining very credible passes.
Huge Congratulations to both,
Ivar 8th Kyu Jiu Jitsu
Andy 7th Kyu Jiu Jitsu
Well Done on a very credible grading.
Thank You to all those Jiu Jitsu Students who provided a constant supply of Ukes and fresh challenges throughout the grading.
We have ONE more grading to complete the year, so make sure you are ready and have attended the lessons required .

Sensei Paul is this weeks winner of THE CARING SENSEI award!!!
Even though he has a very busy work life he took time out to help me with my Knee Replacement surgery!!!
I just need to hobble down to Lidl and get my TKR pack and we are in business.
Thank You Sensei Paul for caring and looking after your Bushido Family 😉😉
Now WHO wants to volunteer to perform the replacement???🤔🤔

With Gradings only 2 week away the focus was on pulling together everything taught over the past 6 weeks.
There was no Freestyle class today due to holidays and as a result the whole day was handed over to Jiu Jitsu. Basic syllabus for the lower grades and everything left and right handed for the higher grades.
It was a very focused lesson that saw incredible input from all grades.
A big shout out goes to Piotr Wilk who joined us after a 6yr absence due to relocating his family back home to Poland.
Whilst he was a wee bit rusty he was a very strong addition to the lesson. This is the 3rd week running that former students have joined in lessons which proves once you are part of the Bushido Family you are part of it for life. Piotr joined with his 2 daughters Jagoda and Rosza. Rosza went on to become one of Bushido’s World Champions in SportSwords.
I look forward to Piotr joining us again maybe with his daughters and his Son.
Excellent day all round, just some final polishing for those grading and we are all set for Septembers Grading.
Enjoy your weekend
