Thank you everyone for turning up. It was a fantastic 20 year anniversary session. Some lovely friends we’ve not seen for over a decade and amazing to have them back on the mat. Official photos to follow.

Fantastic to be featured in the Justice and Security section of the Autumn edition of @NorthumbriaUni News with @kjsher #WeAreNorthumbria @NorthUniSport @jitsufoundation
A newspaper clipping entitled “Jiu Jitsu club fights to advance forensic research”. There is a group photo of male and female martial artists wearing their traditional gi in a sports hall that is blue in colour. Quotes and text include: “Northumbria University's Jiu Jitsu club recently staged a series of controlled assaults to help forensic researchers track fibre transfers.” “THE METHODOLOGY PROVIDES A MORE ROBUST ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTS CAUSED BY ACTUAL PHYSICAL ASSAULT SCENARIOS, THAN ANY EXISTING SIMILAR STUDY AVAILABLE TO FORENSIC PRACTITIONERS."

We are not the cheapest brand out there. There’s a reason for that. Well, quite a few really… 1. Good customer service 2. Designers that listen and deliver 3. Quality, ecological garments 4. On time delivery 5. Paying proper wages 6. Social Media bants

20 years ago this month RC and DC both coached at the first ever session of Northumbria jitsu at @northumbriaunisport in the Lipman Gym. #WeAreNorthumbria It's amazing to still be coaching so many awesome students here #NJ20

White text on red background. “"I have done a lot of martial arts over the years and have joined lots of clubs but never felt truly part of a club due to shift work. However I felt like I belonged to a club straight away with Northumbria Jitsu, it helped me find myself as a person and it improved my confidence in myself and my ability to do things." -Sara, Northumbria Jitsu Alumna”

After the awesomeness of @NorthUniSport 2023 Sports Fair yesterday we’re looking back at some previous Sports Fairs in our 20th year as a club. This is the earliest we could find so far: 2006 Sports Fair in @NorthumbriaSU building, before Sport Central even existed.
