Many of you won’t know that Sensei Llewellin has begun a journey to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) and entered a competition today. Despite being a beginner and having not competed in judo for about 40 years, he had to fight in a more experienced division, so a huge challenge. He also fought in a group aged nearly 20 years younger than him! He had a some tough fights and learned lots but had a great time… here’s a short clip that shows his judo is still sharp 😉🥋bonus points if you name the throw

Thanks so much to Sensei Paul Thomas for running a fantastic judo session for our jujitsu juniors at Yawara Kwai North Bristol. William was awarded student of the week by Sensei Paul.
The seniors were then treated to a boxing master class. Sensei Paul picked out Lydia as boxer of the day.
