HISTORY MADE! First Monday session taught by Sensei Des. We are now running TWO adult sessions a week. Sensei Des will teach on Mondays whilst Sensei Sean will continue to teach the Wednesday session!

[Highbury Jitsu Club @Highbury_Jitsu]

INCREDIBLE numbers at last night's adult session. 24 people in total (not including the instructors). Only two people away from equalling the record number of 26 people. Not bad for a town club.

[Highbury Jitsu Club @Highbury_Jitsu]

Great numbers on the mat at last night's adult session. Let's keep it going!
