🥋 CONGRATULATIONS SENSEI PETER CHESHIRE – 6th DAN 🥋

Masters of Martial Arts would like to extend its warmest congratulations to Sensei Peter Cheshire on being awarded his 6th Dan Black Belt at the British Ju Jitsu Governing Body National Championships Awards Evening on 29th August 2026.

This prestigious promotion recognises Sensei Peter’s many years of dedication, commitment and outstanding service to Ju Jitsu.

Throughout his career, Peter has made an enormous contribution to the development of Ju Jitsu, teaching countless classes and supporting and inspiring generations of students.

His service to the art extends well beyond his own club, with Peter also serving as:

🥋 National Referee
🥋 Level 3 Coach
🥋 Anti-Doping Control Liaison Officer
🥋 Health & Safety Executive

His continued commitment to coaching, officiating, administration and the welfare of our members is a testament to the true spirit of Ju Jitsu.

On behalf of Masters of Martial Arts , congratulations Sensei Peter on this very well-deserved 6th Dan.

Your dedication and service to Ju Jitsu are greatly appreciated, and we look forward to many more years of your contribution to our sport and martial art 🥋

What a fantastic day at the 2026 British National Ju-Jitsu Championships in Walsall! 🏆

We are incredibly proud of every single one of our students who stepped onto the mat and represented Masters of Martial Arts. Whether you came home with medals or simply gave it your all, you should all be extremely proud of yourselves! 👏🥋

A huge thank you to all the officials, referees, organisers and volunteers who worked so hard behind the scenes and throughout the day to make the event such a huge success. It really is appreciated. 🙌

A massive well done to everyone who competed, including all the competitors from the other clubs. The talent, effort and sportsmanship on display was fantastic, and it was brilliant to see everyone coming together.
Well done everyone — you did yourselves and your clubs proud!

We’re already looking forward to doing it all again next year! 💪🥋 but first the UNJJ in Gibraltar in October! 🇬🇮

You’re welcome to make up your missed class by attending any of our clubs or classes next week.

Good luck to everyone competing! 🥋🏆

Please note that our Accrington dojo is now closed for our summer break, classes will resume on Monday 3rd August.

Thank you all for your hard work, commitment, and dedication throughout the term. You have all made fantastic progress, and we are proud of everything you've achieved.

Enjoy these two weeks to rest, recharge, and spend time with your family and friends. Remember, a true martial artist knows that recovery is just as important as training.

When we return, we'll be back with renewed energy, ready to train harder than ever, build on our skills, and continue our journey towards our next belt grading. Every class is another step towards becoming stronger, more confident, and more disciplined.

Have a safe and enjoyable break, and we look forward to seeing everyone back in the dojo on Monday, 3rd August, fit, focused, and ready to take on the next challenge.

Train hard. Stay humble. Never give up. 🥋
