BUT.. I'm 58 and while I'm reasonably fit and flexible I'm concerned that my old bones won't take the training.

I am a student of 42 yrs with Shihan Matthew J.Komp 9th dan who was Shihan Brian Graham initial instructor here in Melbourne Australia.I have some photos with both of them when Shihan Komp was in England and many others from way back in the 1950s. Today Tuesday we had lunch together and he was telling me about the whole jiu jitsu adventure. I believe that many of you would be interested to know where your initial art has started from, since is written in most of Shorinji Kan and Jitsu Foundation. I am so proud to be associated with such jujitsu organization. Shihan Matthew Komp is 82 years old and is still active, he will be holding a seminar at one of my dojos on the 26Aug2010. If you or others want to send me an e mail send it to jordanduz@msn.com.au Till next time http://www.cityjitsu.org.uk/where-do-we-train/directions-to-the-dojo/#comment-87 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 14:25:58 +0000 http://www.cityjitsu.org.uk/where-do-we-train/directions-to-the-dojo/#comment-87 We're the same style - we're also Jitsu Foundation - and yes, you can continue as an orange belt when you train with us. http://www.cityjitsu.org.uk/where-do-we-train/directions-to-the-dojo/#comment-86 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 13:12:30 +0000 http://www.cityjitsu.org.uk/where-do-we-train/directions-to-the-dojo/#comment-86 Hi I did some jitsu at Newcastle University under the jitsu foundation.

I am a martiual arts instructor and hold dan grades in Hapkido, Kyokushinkai Karate, Kickboxing and Modern Arnis. I havent trained for about two years and I'm looking for something interesting so as to get mt appetitie back. Thanks a lot, Aidan Gillespie. ps- do I wear my go or is training gear ok? http://www.cityjitsu.org.uk/where-do-we-train/#comment-48 Fri, 31 Oct 2008 08:13:54 +0000 http://www.cityjitsu.org.uk/where-do-we-train/#comment-48 Yes, you still have to pay if you train at our dojo, since your uni club won't give us a portion of your training fees! And we're not a uni club - we just use a university dojo (which is confusing, I admit!). http://www.cityjitsu.org.uk/where-do-we-train/#comment-47 Fri, 31 Oct 2008 00:23:24 +0000 http://www.cityjitsu.org.uk/where-do-we-train/#comment-47 Hi, I'm confused because I was told that if I paid the term fees at one of the dojo, I can train in any within that term. Eg: If I paid for term fees at my uni dojo, do I still need to pay for each session if I train in other uni's dojo? Thanks. Sam
