We hope you've all been enjoying full training following the Covid hiatus. We continue to encourage testing regularly (if you have access to free lateral flow tests or otherwise) and avoiding training if you are feeling unwell.
For new members use NHS Covid Pass to show: 1. Proof of at least double vaccination for Covid-19 (unless medically exempt) OR 2. A negative lateral flow test result from the day of training
Members who have previously evidenced vaccination status to their clubs do not need to do so again. Thanks to everyone for continuing to ensure we're training as safely as possible for all our members and their families.
Now we've moved into something like normality with training, gradings, competitions and alike, it might be a good idea to reach out to those who were active in your clubs prior to the pandemic but haven't returned to training, for whatever reason; reassuring them they can ease back into training and that they will be supported by their instructors and fellow jitsuka.
It's been great seeing so many of you picking up where you've left off and gaining new belts, while seeing students who've joined us recently starting their journey. Well done everyone! it's fantastic to see clubs continuing to grow as well as training with other jitsuka at the many regional sessions that are run nationwide.

Randori Nationals Roundup
It was great to see so many of you at the second national event of our calendar, and the first Randori Nationals since 2020! The event, held at the University of Birmingham Sport & Fitness Centre, was a huge success with fantastic training and competition. There was an abundance of great individual performances, all rewarded with medals. Huge congratulations once again go to Kingston University (combined medal tally of 9 Gold, 5 Silver, 1 Bronze) on winning their 6th Randori Nationals club shield, fighting off Queen Mary University of London to second place, followed by Coventry University.
Further congratulations also go to newly promoted Sensei's Claire Carter, Alex Macauley and Mia Bellusova on the huge achievement of gaining their Sandan.
