The Kendal club, which is based at Lakes Leisure, is now in it’s 10th year and after an unbelievably successful 12 months, is going from strength to strength.
We have a Tigers section of the club on Fridays, which
is specifically for students aged 5-8, and will also be introducing the New Foxes; a group designed for Parents and 3-4 year olds combined in one class. This is a great chance for Parents and children to get involved, concentrating on motor skills, discipline, social skills, confidence and improve listening skills within a Self-defence based Ju-Jitsu environment.
From 9 years to adult the students train in the main class, so there is always a great mixture of ages and abilities on the mat at any one time, which makes the session fun. The varied mix keeps the class fresh and with so many people to work with there is always the chance to practice your grapples, locks, strikes and blocks with a new opponent. This ensures your mind stays focused and challenged and you get a full body workout which increases your fitness levels.
With gradings at least twice a year, it has been great to see the progression of so many Kesshin Kai students. From getting their white belt to moving through to orange and above , the change in so many people has been a privilege to witness and be part of.
-Testimonial by – Tom Miles-
“I am 15 years old & have been learning Ju-Jitsu for 7 years and Sport Nunchaku for 3 and a half years.
As well as training in Ju-Jitsu I also train in Nunchaku (made famous by Bruce Lee). In March 2008 10 students including myself and my Sensei Richard Smith (Nunchaku National Coach, 2nd in Europe(2012), 4th in the World(2012) attended the World Nunchaku Championships in Vevy, Switzerland.
I was the youngest competitor in my age category (10 – 13 years) and came 3rd in the world, bringing a bronze medal home for Great Britain.
I was lucky enough to attend the European Championships which was in Switzerland, December 2009
and gained so much experience from the trip.
At the European Championships in Britain in 2010, I was ranked 3rd in Freestyle, obtaining another bronze medal for the UK. I am really looking forward to the World Nunchaku Championships which Sensei Smith is hosting at Lakes Leisure, Kendal in May 2015.
I passed my Junior 1st Dan Black Belt October 2009.
Currently I am working on my Kobudo (traditional weapons), circle work, Atemi point punches & kicks to the body and Anatomy of the Samurai Sword.”
