On leaving the MN I wanted to put something
back into Ju-Jitsu and decided to reopen
the Ju-Jitsu classes at Hebburn (due to a
fire the centre had been closed for a year).
Since that time the club has grown and in
December 02 I gained my 3rd Dan . At the
last International course I was promoted
to 'Technical Officer' for the WJJF

Profile;
I started training in 1983 at the age of
29 under Sensei Karl Jessen at HJJC. Although

steadily worked my way through to Black Belt.
