At the British Ju jitsu Championships presentation night, Sensei Walker was awarded his 6th Dan by Sensei Paul Geoghegan 9th Dan in front the celebrating instructors, officials and the BJJA GB Committee.
Yet another excellent BJJA(GB) National Championships this weekend was topped off, as usual, with our awards dinner at which our high Dan grades are bestowed. Pictured here on the left is Andy Walker of Poole Bushido Club. Andy probably puts more miles in than anyone to attend events and is a shining example to all. Andy is now a very well deserved 6th Dan. On the right is Bushido Barnoldswick’s very own Richard Asbery. Richard began his jujitsu journey in 1976 as a young boy and has toiled relentlessly to this day to reach the dizzy heights of 8th Dan. Both these fine gentlemen continue to train regularly and diligently despite serving many decades and are two of the best role models any aspiring martial artist could possibly have. Well done chaps. It’s a pleasure to know you and an honour to train with you.
