Newsletter November 2022
As 2022 comes to a close, we would like to thank all of our students and parents for another good year. After the events of 2020 and 2021, it is good to be able to look back over an eventful 2022.
We have seen a year of grading again, some of them long overdue, some exciting training courses and master classes, and the first of our Groundwork Skills Workshop’s
We will start again next year with our first 3 events already confirmed (details to be posted on social media soon).
However, 2022 isn’t quite over yet, we will, this year see the return of our annual student presentation evening. Unfortunately, due to Covid, the threat of lock downs and the financial impact to the club because of them, we have had to cancel the past two Trophy Presentations, we are pleased to announce that they are now back for good.
Our instructors and staff are busy voting for this year’s winners, votes are not yet in and there is still time for Junior students to make a good impression.
Awards up for grabs this year are as follows:
Attendance Medals:
Medals will be awarded to students based on attendance and commitment while training, as well as good behaviour and respect.
Dedicated Student Award:
We have 3 awards in this category, Bronze, Silver and Gold, awarded for the best attendance for the whole year.
Best New Student Award:
Again, we have 3 awards in this category, Bronze, Silver and Gold, chosen from new students that have joined us within the past few months, we will choose 3 students that have most impressed us. This award is important to us as new students do not qualify for the annual award until we have been able to assess them over a whole year.
Exemplary Student Award:
There is just one award available in this category, awarded to students that have excelled in good behaviour and respect for their training partners, their instructors and our club.
The Sensei’s Choice Award:
Again, just one award available in this category, awarded to a student that has impressed their instructors this year. The chosen student will have excelled in their training, showed exceptional skill and focus, displayed respect for their training partners and have been willing to help younger students when needed.
Most Improved Student Award:
Again, just one award available in this category, awarded to a student that has impressed their instructors this year. The chosen student may have displayed focus and commitment to their training, a determination to overcome challenges with their training or been noticed for improvements in their behaviour over the year.
Student of the Year 2022:
The chosen student for Student of the Year, will have impressed their instructors over the past year.
In short, they will be a future Black Belt in the making.

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
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
