The CCHS Karate Club has been lucky enough to hold a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class in January with one of the foremost apprentice instructors of the Methuen Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Club ( http://www.methuenkarate.com/dojo/BrazilianJuiJitsui.aspx ). Sensei John Goddard took time out of his busy schedule to come to Central Catholic High School in Lawrence, MA to share his vast knowledge of Jiu Jitsu, Jeet Kun Do, and MMA Grappling.
Students who participated in the class learned basic positions (guard, mount, side mount, cross body, etc.) and had the chance to learn several escape moves, counters, and submission holds. Not only did the students of the CCHS Karate Club have the opportunity to learn basic Jiu Jitsu, but they also have the chance to learn more advanced Jiu Jitsu from Sensei Goddard over the next few months.
Next week, the CCHS Karate Club will proudly welcome Sensei Bill Sherry. Sensei Sherry is a 4th degree black belt in Kyokushin Karate (Sensei Sherry and I tested for our Shodan rank together over 12 years ago) and he has advanced rank in Kenpo karate. He will bring an unbelievable amount of knowledge to the CCHS Karate Club. We will concentrate on kumite, kata, forms, and self defense next week. These aspects will come in handy since some of our students will be competing in a regional tournament in New Bedford, MA on February 7th.
Osu!
Sensei
