Location: The London Nautical School

Time: 11am-4pm
Price: £10 (£5 juniors)

Steve Donaghy Sensei and Gareth Horgan Sensei assisted by a teaching team of the Region's Nidan will be taking this course. Steve and Gareth should require no introduction, are the two most senior Instructors in the Region and two of the most experienced Instructors in the Jitsu Foundation. They are the Instructors to the Instructors.

This Regional will also be the first opportunity for many of our new members to be introduced to "London" Jitsu. The course is therefore aimed at and designed for everyone, from the complete beginner through to our most senior Dan. It is an excellent opportunity, on our own doorstep, for us to get together as a Region.

The After-Course Party will be held at: The Slug and Lettuce, 52/54 Stamford Street, Waterloo, SE1 9LX.

The theme is Halloween Fancy Dress, the colours are Orange & Black and food can be ordered in.

Water, non-fizzy sports‚ drinks and/or some light food is advisable.
