Tuesday Evening Ju-jitsu and Sports Ju-jitsu

Good training session had by all, grading on Saturday so Dan concentrated on students who are aiming at their new belts this weekend.

Senior session very busy, new and old students alike, started the session off with basics and then moved onto some simple moves, for the second session we kicked the training up a gear with some pyramid running and pressups, lots of shrimping and then into a little ground fighting, then some more live takedowns and then finaly into sparring.

Finished off the evening with a judo and ground fighting grapple line, quick fire with only 15 seconds to get your opponent to the floor or to tap them out.

Thursday night next and saturday is all set for a 5k run.

Saturday Morning Fitness and Training

Good session this morning starting with a 5 mile run over the hills, the route today took us from the club, through Healey Dell and then following the old train track over to Red Lane in Rochdale, we then followed the Hills through Shawclough over to Lobden passed the golf club, through Whitworth village and then back to the club.

The session was only one hour this morning but we covered ground fighting ground control and also got some syllabus in.
