Welcome to King's College Jitsu club

We would like to welcome you to our club and say thanks for dropping by. You clearly made the right choice because Jitsu is awesome!

It doesn’t matter how in or out of shape you are, how tall, how short or how sporty. Just come along in a loose t-shirt and tracksuit bottoms and have a go!

We train twice a week – at 7pm-9pm on Mondays and Wednesdays, Guy’s Campus, Boland House, Room AR2

Our first session this term is on 26th September!

Come along and learn self defence, develop your confidence and improve your fitness by learning how to strike, throw and restrain attackers. We're a socialable club and will head down to the local pub after training for a refreshing beverage of juice, beer or whatever takes your fancy.

Your first session with us will be free! If you like what you see, we’ll ask you for a fiver, to go the SU – this will get you three more sessions. After that, it’s just £2 per session or £30 for the whole term.

Our first club social is on 5th October 2011 – join us for some pizza (more info at training).

Once you decide that Jitsu is the right for you, we can help you out about where to get those super-comfy white pyjamas called a gi, and insurance to train all year.

See you all on the mat.

FromSensei Steve on the King's Jitsu FB Page: "Just thought I'd post a message to say well done to all those who competed at the Nationals, and an update for all those in absentia. J-Ney Antique picked up a bronze medal by showing some awesome Jitsu in the Light blue competition, if not cartwheel skills when collecting it.

We had Qiang Yao and Alex d'Anjou through to the green belt finals, although a buggered shoulder meant Alex couldn't go for a medal on the Sunday.

Umair Prevez also got through to the finals for the yellow belts. I didn't get to see many of you competing as I would have liked as I was busy judging, but I did get to see Mital Vaiyata, Loizos Toumbas, Ian Brown and Jen Proctor sail through to the semi-finals in the notice category along with Maverick Singsong, who isn't from Kings but he deserves a mention for having the coolest name I've ever heard.

Good effort from everyone on the competing front, and of course the fancy dress front, worthy of Greek Gods, Oh, finally a big thank you to Daniel Illambas, Qiang Yao and Samantha Piong for getting us all there and doing all boring organising stuff. Great weekend guys, see you all back on the mat tomorrow!"
