Yeah its hot, but if you train while your enemies sleep, that could give you the edge you need to win.

Class starts at 11am sharp.

I'll see those of you that want that edge shortly.

Practice is the only way to get better.

You can watch as many youtube videos of different techniques as you want, but if you dont practice, you'll never get better.

Thats why I run these "Pop Up Practice" sessions.
It gives you time to work on what you want to work on.

So, you can either go to the pub because the sun is out, or come and practice some Jujutsu.

It all depends on your mindset.

For those that want to practice, I'll see you tonight.
in Bishops Cleeve, 7:30 sharp.

Classes at TJK Bishops Cleeve this week:

• Friday is "Pop Up Practice" open mat training. 7:30pm - 9:15pm. TJK Members only.
Come along and work on what you want or need to work on

These practice sessions are great because you will be given lots of time to work on your own strategies and favourite techniques.
Ultimately, you will gain a lot of experience working out problem areas with your partner.

If you have no ideas, or need a suggestion, I will of course help you out.
We also have a grappling game at the end with rules that force you to think under pressure.

• Saturday Morning class as usual. 11am - 12:30pm. A more structured class that everyone takes part in.
TJK members and new starters welcome.

Drills, with light grappling and sparring.

Limited space available so please message to let me know you're coming.

This weeks classes in Tewkesbury and Bishops Cleeve ARE running but with a few safety changes in place:

• Air con will be running on full blast
• Dont bring your gi. Wear shorts and T-shirt/rash guard
• We will be in technical detail mode rather than full battle mode to conserve energy and keep personal heat levels down
• Make sure you have water although water is accessible at each venue.
• Rest and hydrate when you need to. No need to ask. Everyone has different levels and sometimes its hard to spot if someone needs to rest.
• If you feel you just dont have the energy to train, ie, you've had a particularly hot day working, dont. No problem at all, we'll see you the following week instead.

That said, I hope to see those who can and want to train

• Thursday -
Tewkesbury, Wheatpieces Community Centre. 7:30pm - 9pm
• Saturday -
Bishops Cleeve, Gl52 Fitness. 11am - 12:30pm
• Sunday -
Tewkesbury, Wheatpieces Community Centre. 5pm - 6:30pm
