Greater Durham Jiu-Jitsu

01/20/2022

We’re back in person on Monday, January 31.
Watch for further details regarding class times.
We adapt & we keep going. Hey lockdowns: bye bye!

Shut down again for 3 weeks ‘to deaden the curve’: where have we heard that before?: at lest they’re consistent, to the detriment of just about everyone. So we will carry on, on-line: winners never quit or give into the belief that this is permanent: we continue no matter what: this is a true test of your training: better in some ways than any grading, because this is a real world threatening situation.
Hang tough: see everyone in person soon.

One of the first students is still here: Renshi Alex & her sons: Patrick & Sensei Shane.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to my training: Tom Sharkey, Neil Dalgarno, Richard Morris, John Therien, Alain Sailly, Bob Kranstz

Congratulations to everyone who graded & moved up last night: Lukas & Aliah (yellow), Naomi (orange), Isabelle (orange-green), Charlotte (green), Rowan (blue) &
Shane: the newest World Kobudo/Greater Durham black belt.
In the next few weeks: 6 more, including a junior black belt.
Thank you to everyone who has stuck with their training in spite of extraordinary circumstances & our many improvisations.

Our Greater Durham family pauses today to remember with fondness Sensei Danny, who was taken from us way too early, 2 years ago.
Danny, your integrity & caring attitude touched all who worked with you.
❤️😢

How is your training helping you to manage this pandemic? How are you defending yourself against possibly reduced exercise & focus? How are you managing the fear to your advantage? What have you learned about yourself since March? Let’s talk; let’s train.
In dojo (with strict health safety measures) or on Zoom.

Since our hoped for return dates have not materialized, it's more than time to get back anyway. Online classes will start up this week: Mon & Wed 7:00-7:30 for Jiu-Jitsu. Information will be sent to each student. This important journey must and will continue.There are also a couple of promotions in the works!
Stay safe. See everyone soon.
