Ju-Jitsu @ Ambleside

-Testimonial by – Peter Harrison-
Who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?

The club at Ambleside truly is a mixed club where young meets old in a respectful and fun environment. I can’t believe I am into my fourth year already with the club. So why Ju-Jitsu for me now in my 40s? The confidence I have gained is immense and add to that, fitness, dis
cipline, friendships and a real sense of achievement through the grading process. As a father an image sticks with me.

A man some years ago, reported as being in the wrong place, wrong time! Assaulted leaving a widow and children without a father. How I wish he could have had the opportunity to learn some basic self-defence techniques, this tragedy could have been so different. Ju-Jitsu has given me a focus in the week where the day to day issues of life and work can be left at the door and the training and dedication can begin. Sensei Smith has the magic ability to work with all ages at all levels to achieve their goals. Young or old, the club has something for everybody – go on, try it!

Classes @ The Kelsick Centre every Sunday.

Mixed Juniors aged 5+ and Adults – 6.00 – 7.00pm

Carlisle Ju-Jitsu and Nunchaku club was set up back in 2008.

The club has seen many students come through the doors, and some of those students have gone on to take part in competitions abroad,
competing in combat fights in events with 120+ other competitors.

Students have started through all different avenues and for lots of different reasons: some have come for the fitness, others for self-defence knowledge and some for the social aspect but all have gained a level of confidence, achievement and improvement in all aspects of their lives. As an example of this, please find below a student testimonial.
-Testimonial by – Magdalena Ziolo-
Hi!
I’m Magdalena Ziolo and I came from Poland. I’m Fiftteen years old and I was going on ju-jitsu lessons since I lived in Carlisle three years. I start to really enjoy ju-jitsu lessons and I absolutely love it! When I had my first lesson I found it really challenging and I gave it a try. I also found my sensei is really nice and keen to help which means he’s really helpful. At the beginning I found it hard because I wasn’t quite sure what to do so my sensei was already there for me. He tried to help me and I did my best. Why I always come to this lessons is because it helps me to keep myself confident so I can believe in myself and keep on going, it has really good fitness so it keeps me on the move and fit and it also helps me in self defense skills when needed. Before I didn’t joined ju-jitsu training I was pretty lost, shy, unconfident and weak. Me and my dad found a good activity for me to keep me busy and I thought that it might be an interesting activity to teach me about self defense. Later we both found out how good it is and how much it’s worth to keep me fit and confident.
I saw my sensei showing us some exercises and moves to do and I also saw how self-confident are he’s moves and I think that he’s a really amazing person. I never saw a concentrated, confident as him! Now when I go on ju-jitsu lessons I’m pretty confident and I believe in myself. I have a blue belt grade and I try to work on purple belt. I think it’s an enjoyable lesson for small children, teenagers and adults also at any age. I really recommend the Ju-Jitsu lessons because it’s fun for all children, it has good self-defense skills, it keeps all people on good move and fit and in my opinion it’s fantastic! I really recommend it!
