Firstly, well done to everyone who took part in the competition on Sunday. It was great fun and definately a success. Pictures and videos will be up soon. Secondly, Sunday training times during semester 2 have changed. The classes will now begin half an hour earlier than previously shown. Check the 'Classes' page for the latest timetable. Sweet.

Hi guys. Just thought I would post a few updates for anyone that does actually check the site. Firstly, the club competition will be held on the 24th of November, and all entry forms should now be handed in. From Captain Nina:

"The competition will have a matted area “the ring”, four corner referees plus one main referee, there will also be medals for the winners. This will be a very well organised event.

This competition is the perfect opportunity for you all to TRY competing, this goes for SENIORS and JUNIORS. Later in the year we have two competitions in the pipeline, one will be a Leeds Uni vs. Leeds Met competition and the other will be a competition open to all Universities.

I know that some of you are apprehensive to compete, especially girls, but this competition is perfect to increase your confidence. Not only will this competition give you an incite into how a competition runs, but it will also help improve your sparring in classes.

In the competition GIRLS vs GIRLS and GUYS vs GUYS. So you will only be competing with the same sex, and someone of the same weight and ability as you to make things fair.

Many people don’t have confidence in sparring, almost scared of it, but you shouldn’t be all sparring in our club is friendly. We base our sparring on a semi-contact basis and can assure that noone will get hurt, as people will be disqualified if the contact is too hard. This competition is very friendly you will be competing against your peers, it’s the perfect opportunity for you all to practice your sparring, and understand how different sparring is in a competition environment.

Everyone will also have to spar in the grading, it would be highly recommended that if you want to get a GOOD GRADE in sparring that you enter the competition-you will benefit massively from this experience."

Lastly, the grading will take place on the 29th November and on the 30th we will have a celebratory meal at sports cafe in town. Tickets are £15 and include a champagne reception + free food! So get your tickets NOWWW!

Hope everyone's having a good Monday. Well I think we can all safely say that the Leeds Martial Arts Tournament was a huge success and everyone had a great time. Leeds University scored gold winning a total of 19 medals. Newcastle University also did well with a small team achieving 7 medals. Loughborough left with 5 medals, and Leeds Met gained 2. If you want to know more about the indvidual category winners or read a full report from our Instructor please visit the Socials/Events section.
