I am an active member of the Ruschroft Jiu-Jitsu Club, which is the headquarters of the International Jiu-Jitsu Organisation (IJJO). Under the guidance of Sensei Neville Kershaw, I have been practicing Traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu for several years and currently hold a 3rd Dan Black Belt. In addition to my training, I also mentor the senior coloured belts, helping them to progress in their own Jiu-Jitsu journey.

The physical and mental benefits that I gain from Jiu-Jitsu are numerous, including self-discipline, improved health, focus, and confidence. Regular training helps me to get my blood pumping and stay energized, which is essential for maintaining a productive and healthy lifestyle.
