It is with regret that I have to inform you that Sensei Robert Clark has passed away.

There are many people who were close to Sensei and this is a very difficult time for us all.

Everyone at Katana Jiu-Jitsu Club offer our condolences and our thoughts are with Sensei Clarks family at this time.

Thanks again to all those who participated.

Happy New Year

Here are a few things we have planned for Katana Jiu-Jitsu Club in 2012.
We are putting the finishing touches to our Calendar for 2012 and hopefully they will be on sale very shortly.

Our first Grading of the year is quickly approaching at the end of January and we have our Junior and Senior Black Belts also grading in March and October.

We are organising the Christmas party for 2012.  This year, we will be holding a themed "James Bond" party.  You can dress as any James Bond character (Dr No, Oddjob, Moneypenny etc).  Last years party was amazing and I am expecting this years to be just as spectacular.

I would also like to thank all our students and parents for supporting our club and all the Sensei and staff behind the scenes. 

On behalf of Katana Jiu-Jitsu, I would like to wish you all a Happy & Prosperus New Year
