LKA Holds first Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Course 9th June 2010

The LKA held it's first specialised Brazilian Jiu Jitsu course at the Farsley Hombu on Wednesday 9th June.  Over 40 students packed in to receive instruction from Purple Belt, Duane Harper and Black Belt, Juan  Reppin.  Juan is one of  roughly only half a dozen Black Belts in Chek Mat Jiu Jitsu in the UK and is a Copa American Champion!  We were very honoured for him and Duane to come along and share their skills with us. 

During the course of the evening, Juan presented Sensei Matt Price with a his Blue Belt in Chek Mat Jiu Jitsu, in which he has been training for over a year now under Duane.  It was agreed after the session that Juan and Duane will be starting regular weekly classes at the Farsley Hombu in roughly a months time.  This is an important move for us as it will develop the Farsley Hombu into a centre of excellence for both Karate and Jiu Jitsu with a very high level of instruction in both Arts.
