A cheeky picture after last nights class. Good to see some new faces at our club. If you have ever thought about trying martial arts, come down to the River Bourne Club and take advantage of 2 free lessons with CAUK.

Tonight at CAUK in Chertsey, we did some weapon work. This is Will Bear doing his stuff.

One of my Red Belt students (Will Bear) demonstrating his knowledge of movement, flow and circles. Will is 13 years old and has been training for just over a year. Our classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, are friendly and fun. Beginners are welcome.

It's a brand new year, so why not try something new? Ju-Jitsu, Self Defence and Kickboxing could be a great place to start. We run classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:15pm at The River Bourne Club in Chertsey. It's a very friendly environment with a mix of guys and girls of all ages. All fitness levels and abilities are welcome. First 2 lessons are free. No need to book, just turn up. For more details contact Cliff on 07799 030101

This is Will Bear. He is a great lad. Tonight we were concentrating on rolls. The first part of the video shows Will rolling me from an outside wrist lock. The second part of the video shows Will doing a defensive roll out of an arm lock. Will has been training for 5 months. Well done Will Bear.

A simple T Bar Crush from Roundhouse punch. Encouraging students to expand on the use of techniques develops their understanding of how something works. Sid then applied the same technique from a wrestlers hold. Same technique, different application.

JuJitsu training resumes as normal on Tuesday 15th August at 7:15pm. See you there.

Anyone local looking to get fit for the New Year :)

Tonight was our last training session until 3rd Jan 2017. We were looking at flow of technique. Trying to draw guards up or down so we can strike the head, the ribs or the solar plexus. The only kick we used was the snap kick. The idea again was to draw the guard up with punches to the head and using the flow of movement, put a snap kick to the solar plexus. Cristian is a very spirited lad. You can see him concentrating on the side of the body with punches and then kicking to... the centre mass. During the short flurry of punches and kicks at the end he keeps his guard fairly tight and doesn't panic. The punches I throw barely connect. This helps build confidence with his guard and helps him stay focussed on defence. It also helps him get used to staying calm and in control whilst under attack. No one was even slightly hurt during the making of this video.

Today we were looking at ways to defend yourself from attacks whilst carrying a sack of toys. Specifically for Santa's being mugged whilst away from the sleigh. These are two of the basic Santa techniques we worked on. No toys were damaged during this demonstration. 👍

Now is a good time to start training. We have several new students all enjoying the challenge.

Sparring usually has a rhythm. One party will generally throw 4, 5 or 6 punches then step back. The other party then returns with their flurry of strikes and so on. When the attack slows or stops it allows the opponent to reset and switch from defence to attack mode. (Next time you watch a sparring session try and spot this pattern). The video shows one way to slow or stop an initial attack. The attacker is focused on attack and generally, for a split second, not thinking about defence. This is a prime time to strike.
