Ju-Jitsu youngsters make the grade
8:48am Tuesday 15th April 2008
Ishin Ryu Ju-Jitsu recently held gradings for children who attended evening classes at the Hertswood Centre, Borehamwood.
The successful candidates received a certificate of grade signed by the federation's founder Kevin Pell (black belt 8th Dan) and national coach for children's development Mark Hayden-Smith (black belt 4th Dan).
Children from the ages of four to 12 were put through their paces.
The infants (four to seven) have been learning how to defend themselves if they are thrown to the ground, as well as carrying out ground work and wrestling.
The juniors have been learning how to use a tonfa (side-handled baton), as well as other forms of self-defence techniques.
New classes are about to begin, with gradings due to take place in June. For details, call 01953 483795 or go to www.ishinryu.com

I'm sponsoring the 2012 Olympics
Soon after I got my demob suit in 1948 and slid seamlessly back into my role as a fire engine-chasing young reporter, I was sitting in the Times offices in Church Road wondering where my next scoop was coming from.
The buses are back
Regular readers of this blog will recall how buses became the ideological battleground for Brave New Barnet during the election campaign for the Mayor of London and London Assembly. Proponents of routmasters did battle with those of bendy buses - or pragmatism, as would say - as the fight for City Hall reached fever pitch. It was a striking example of the blandness of the political landscape.
Two people escape house fire
