Hope everyone is okay and safe in light of the recent recent attacks at the Arndale.

Training is today at 17:00-19:00 on the second floor of the union. It’s been great to see a lot of new faces coming along with a mix of backgrounds and skill levels. Let’s keep up the great training 👊🏻 If anyone would like to bring their gi for some rolls at the end, please feel free!

Please give us feed back if you’d like to see any gi techniques or more gi sparring! See you all there🤼‍♂️

We will start filming the techniques shown in the sessions for you to reference back to or watch if you couldn’t make the session to stop you from missing out.

Hope everyone is having a good first week back or for freshers second week. The classes are currently Thursday 5-7 which will include kickboxing with Toby for the first 45 mins then Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (grappling) with George or Alex. Saturday classes will be 2-4 with ASW Brown belt Simon price. Both classes are beginner friendly and first class is free as a taster. Hope to see everyone there.
