Attention All Members of the SJJA

The SJJA are on target to complete the plan for education within the Association. All mandatory groups, staff etc have been subject to education in relation to anti-Doping. Don't worry if you missed an event, because these event are held twice annually . Keep your eyes peeled on the notice board at the HQs for information and details of these events. 

All coaches will by August 2023 have completed an upgrade or new edcation in Anti Doping. Additionally the SJJA is hopeful to appoint a new Anti Doping Lead Officer to the Board later this year once training has been satisfactorily completed. 

Remember, even if you are an ordinary member, you can be tested without notice. If you have to take medication for any ailment, please check the medication on the Global DRO site to establish if you are required to submit a TUE (Therapeutic Use Exemption). These are available to complete online as a  declaration. You should print off or save s copy for your own reference.

Well 2017 has come in with a bang. This year we have some big plans to celebrate a few milestones. The SJJA have been successfully coaching Ju Jitsu in Spain for 25 years. We may have a visit this year from students from Spain to our Honbu Dojo.  We will also be celebrating out 9th year at the new HQ. All clubs have been experiencing an increase in membership, which hopefully is a tidal change for the sport. New members always welcome. Bring it on!

A quick reminder for all members at the Grange Ju Jitsu Class, there will be no session this Monday 25th April due to school requiring the hall for in-house cluster training. Also class will be off Monday 2nd May for May Day.
