Wakarishin Ju-Jitsu Billericay

WOW!! 🤩🤩🤩

What a weekend!

Congratulations to all who participated in the
2024 British Ju Jitsu National Championships last weekend, least of all our very own Wakarishin Squad for 2024!!

You’ve done us all proud!

Special thanks to the British Ju Jitsu Association National Governing Body GB for yet another amazing event!
Well done everyone! 🥇🥈🥉

🙌Stretching!🙌

You don't have to be as flexible as our very own Dee😆😆😆
however...

Flexibility isn't just a bonus in martial arts; it's essential. That's why we emphasise the importance of stretching in every class.

Stretching does more than just prepare you for the next move; it's a crucial step in injury prevention, enhancing your overall mobility, and even improving your quality of rest.

Why We Focus on Flexibility:👇

✅Injury Prevention: Consistent stretching helps maintain muscle health, ensuring you're less prone to injuries. A flexible muscle is far less likely to experience a painful tear or strain.

✅Better Performance: With flexibility comes improved posture and balance, allowing for more precise and effective movements both in and out of class.

✅Stress Reduction: Engaging in a routine stretch relaxes muscle tension and calms the mind, a welcome relief after a dynamic session.

✅Improved Rest: Setting the stage for a better night's sleep by letting go of physical and mental stress.

Incorporating stretching into our classes isn’t just about warming up or cooling down; it’s about building a foundation for a healthier, more active life. By prioritising flexibility, we not only enhance our martial arts practice but also our daily movements and quality of sleep.

So, next time we stretch in class, remember it's not just another task—it's an investment in your body's longevity and well-being.

Lots of fun to be had in our Little Warriors session on Saturday 🤩

This is NOT what Sensei means when he says ‘the rest of the time is yours’ 🫣🤦‍♂️

The boys have progressed up from our Little Warriors class and have just gained their first tag for yellow belt. Well done boys, fantastic work 👏

Can you name this weeks 'Throw of the week'?👇

🤩YES! 🤩 Throw of the week is back tonight, and it's one of Sensei's favourites!

We take time to break down the throw, discussing & focusing on each element so the students have a better understanding of the mechanics and how the throw works. This includes pre-strikes, footwork, posture, timing and balance.

Each student is then also given the opportunity to make up their own finish and to work out what's best for them in that situation.

We're looking forward to seeing a variety of different locks and hold downs.

To all the warriors, fierce and true,
In the Southend Ju-Jitsu Championships,
We honour you.
With strength and skill, you've come so far,
Each move you make, each training scar.
May your spirits soar, your focus stay sharp,
Embrace the challenge, play your part.
Win or lose, it's the heart that matters,
In every grapple, in every scatter.
Remember the hours, the sweat, the grind,
The discipline that sharpens the mind.
Respect your opponent, honour the fight,
With every bout, shine your light.
So step on the mat, give it your best,
In every roll, in every test.
Good luck, brave souls, in all you do,
The world admires the strength in you.

Todays Throw of the Week is …

After a successful Grading a couple of weeks ago...👇

🙌Throw of the Week is Back!🙌

This is where students get to pick a throw to be discussed in the lesson.

Sensei breaks down the throw, stripping it back to its bare nuts and bolts, and through questions and answers the throw is built back up, step by step, giving the students a better understanding of the mechanics that is Ju-Jitsu.

The vote is already in for next week..... watch this space!
