year with so many of our Juniors improving and performing well when grading.

We have a very well balanced group and every lesson this year has been a pleasure to teach,on
behalf of myself and my Instructors I would like to thank all our students for their commitment and focus this year as well as parents and carers for their support.

On a personal note i would like to thank my instructors:

Andy Burke, Dave Wareing and Ryan Daly

for everything they do, we are very lucky to have quality instructors who make our junior classes
fun and rewarding for all our students.

Lessons for 2020 start again on 8th of January for our Wednesday class and 9th of January at
6.30pm for our new Junior lesson (open to all grades)

Promoted to WSJJ Junior Leader 6th September 2019
Daniel
Rawden

Congratulations on this landmark achievement in support of your club, this qualification was not
earned overnight, or on a one day training course, Junior Leaders, like Adult Assistant Instructors have trained for years before receiving this award, to be an instructor takes unfailing dedication,
focus and commitment, as well as a lot of extra hard work along side training on their syllabus, wear the badge with pride, well done.

We are very proud to announce that on 24th October 2018 Sale Ju-Jitsu Academy and Winsford
Ju-Jitsu Club became members of the UKBF, (United Kingdom Budo Federation)
this will be a positive move for both our clubs, UKBF focus on promoting Japanese Martial
Arts in the UK and insist that success is based on quality of instruction rather than financial gain, we will have many new opportunities to attend training courses, seminars and other events within
the UK, many of these in the north of England where they are very accessible to all our students, there will be no interruption to training and any changes we make will be to benefit our
students.

2018 Ju-Jitsu Seminar Faro, a few photos from our recent visit, it was an honor to step on the mat and be part of this event, we are
hoping to take more of our students next year so if your interested ask one of the instructors for more details.

Samuel Ouattara and Andrew Burke Congratulations on this landmark achievement in support of your

Sale Ju-Jitsu Presentation 2017
another successful year comes to a close, thank you to all my students, parents, instructors and friends for your support this year, unfortunately our senior Coach, Shihan McConville wasn't able to make it this year due to other engagements, I am, as always grateful to him for all his work and support this year, most of which is not seen or fully appreciated by most of us, However as usual our sister club in Winsford never let us down and we were very happy to welcome Richard, Sophie & Dave from Winsford Ju-Jitsu Club who gave their time and experience during the presentation and in helping to teach the adults class last night.

SJJA and our sister club, Winsford Ju-Jitsu Club were invited to a special training session on Tuesday 31st January, Free to WJJF members, guest instructor John Greenhalgh 10th Dan took high grades and instructors through some advanced techniques in what turned out to be a superb training session, to top off a perfect morning we were presented with some very nice pads and shields, donated by WJJF CIC in support of its growing number of clubs.
Thank you to Shihan Robert Hart, Shihan Brian Truby and of course Hanshi John Greenhalgh for a very enjoyable day.

Another memorable DAN grading at WJJF Headquarters.
Well Done to my good friend and training partner Richard wallace on passing his 3rd DAN, the aches and pains started this morning.

thanks to Sensei Mike Widdall for putting us through pour paces and of course for his kind words and encouragement throughout

A Big Thank you to Winsford Jujitsu Club

Sensei Lee Nelson Being presented with the Club Registration for

Sale Ju-Jitsu Academy

by Sensei Andrew McConville

Last Night was the first Sale Ju-Jitsu Academy Training Session.

It was a slow start with only a few brave new students, but as always Winsford Jujitsu Club showed up in force to do what we do best.

As expected the knife technique session received the most comments.

A very Special Thank you to Sensei Andrew Robinson, Sensei Neil Cheswick & not forgetting Sensei Andrew McConville

I would also like to thank the Assistant instructors for their help, Sophie Wallace, Jack Birtles, Chris Wright & Richard Wallace.

Last but by no means least, thank you to the first Sale Ju-Jitsu Students for your support, the first session is always the most difficult, or should I say walking through the door for the first time.

All in all a good night
