Attention All Members and Coaches of the SJJA

The SJJA in conjunction with the UKAD would like to draw your attention to the Prohibited List scheduled to become live on 31st December 2024. Please visit the List and view any proposed changes. Likewise if you are on any medication, you can check to see if it complies with the anti-doping terms of the SJJA by checking it out on the Global DRO page. It easy to use and only takes a few minutes to check and give you peace of mind.

One of our junior members posed a great question in class today. He asked, "who invested the toothbrush? "

If you have a response pop it into your blog or send the SJJA a message. Good Luck.

Well 2017 has come in with a bang. This year we have some big plans to celebrate a few milestones. The SJJA have been successfully coaching Ju Jitsu in Spain for 25 years. We may have a visit this year from students from Spain to our Honbu Dojo.  We will also be celebrating out 9th year at the new HQ. All clubs have been experiencing an increase in membership, which hopefully is a tidal change for the sport. New members always welcome. Bring it on!

A quick reminder for all members at the Grange Ju Jitsu Class, there will be no session this Monday 25th April due to school requiring the hall for in-house cluster training. Also class will be off Monday 2nd May for May Day.  

30th April 2016 - Date for your diary - The SJJA are now taking bookings for any member interested in attending the White to Green belt Course.

Congratulations to our 5 new Black Belts, including a promotion from first to 2nd Dan. This is clearly a culmination of years of hard work, dedication and sheer true grit. Well done to all of them.

The SJJA actively invite all SJJA members to create a profile and so access the member pages within the site. The website will also be a vehicle for sharing information such as newsletters and bulletins, like this. Creating a profile is easy enough but if you do get into difficulties the HELP button is there or if you need further assistance, just contact the SJJA HQs.

To all the SJJA members who have created a profile, thank you so much. We look forward to servicing your membership to its fullest. Don't forget to put a photo of yourself onto your profile.
