What is New Spirit Ju Jitsu?.
New
Spirit School Of Ju Jitsu is the name adopted by Sensei Ramsdale for his clubs, we are now
a fully independent martial arts school . Since becoming independent, we
have gone from strength to strength, class sizes are growing, and we have
thriving adult classes, with a number of excellent lady students amongst
them. The continued growth of the classes is providing some excellent new
Black Belts, and many of these are now becoming proficient instructors in
their own right!.
New
Spirit is based in North Derbyshire and currently Sensei Ramsdale runs classes at
two different locations on three different days. The days and times of the classes are listed
below, some classes are for Juniors or Seniors only, and others are mixed classes, for
further details please ring the instructors at the phone numbers listed, or send
them an Email.

On
Sunday 25th February 2001 a weapons course was held by New Spirit Ju Jitsu
at Pilsley Miners Welfare for juniors of Brown Belt and above, and adults
of any grade. The event was well attended, and everyone seemed to have a
good time. The course lasted three hours with a break half way through for
refreshments provided by the Welfare staff. I recorded a few clips with my
camcorder, and have taken a number of pictures off the video tape - these
can be seen on the course photos page.

New Spirit prides itself on the quality of
it's instruction, and the responsibility of it's members, we have six
instructors with NVQ level 1 Coaching Certificates, and two with NVQ level
2 and 3 Coaching Certificates. On October 6th 2001, eleven members (1st Kyu and
above) attended a First Aid course run by St John's Ambulance and now hold
First Aid Certificates. We hope to attend more advanced First Aid courses
in the future, the next is provisionally planned for early 2002.
All students (and the clubs) are insured
through NAKMAS, a National Governing
Body for Martial Arts in the UK, each student receives a New Spirit record
book and an insurance slip, which is updated yearly and inserted into
their record book.
